Hi,
I’m struggling to get the filter to work properly with Elementor Loop Grids.
I have two ACF datasets at the moment.
I have installed the filter on https://www.historicvictoriapark.au/victoria-park-historic-timeline/ and it works as expected, but I’m unable to determine the Page ID to get Ajax to work.
The sorting widget is an entirely different headache…...
Another ACF dataset is on https://www.historicvictoriapark.au/honouring-service/.
Once I created a filter for the page in the PRO version, it created #6 datasets for the page. I have 6 loop grids on the page for each of the Service Categories in ACF.
I assumed this was because each one was it’s own WP search.
Creating a single filter for the page only filtered the first “Loop Grid” so I assumed this was the first data set. I made this priority 6 and set it to the first Loop Grid on the page. Works BRILLIANTLY!
So I go to the next loop gird and assign insert a widget and assign it priority 5 (as per the documentation) and create a filter for the second loop grid using data set #2.
Works as expected, but now the first filter set is the same as the second filter set. 
Not Happy!
Can you please let me know what I am doing wrong?
Also a couple of other points: - In Elementor the background of the Sorting Widget settings is in dark mode so you can’t read the text to see what the settings are without expanding them. I’m still trying to get the sorting to work in a reasonable way with ACF fields and categories! - The duplicate function in the filter widget doesn’t work. It creates a new Filter in draft mode with the same title (-draft) but none of the internal settings/filters are copied over from the previous. As per what I am attempting above, I have 6 almost identical filters for the Honouring Service Page that It would be better to not have to recreate from scratch for each one. PS: I would like to have just one filter for the https://www.historicvictoriapark.au/honouring-service/ page if possible!
Thanks
eSpecially Yours
Hi thes43
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
1) Please check this page on the AJAX configurations – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-instructions-only/ – it provides illustrated and numbered step-by-step instructions on how to find the correct Class/ID of the element that displays your posts. Also, since you are using a page builder, you can manually apply a Class/ID to the required container.
2) The issue is that you’re using six different queries to display posts on your page. You should use only one WP_Query to display all your posts, so they can be filtered with a single filter set. The filter set only works with one query. It does not have the ability to collect all the queries on the page, merge them into a single query for filtering, and then split them back into separate queries to display specific posts accordingly.
To summarize:
Use only one Grid Loop to display all your posts, and apply the filter to that single loop in order to filter and find the required posts effectively.

Victor
Hi I have a filter result issue that I just can’t resolve. I’m using Kadence Pro. I have a product that is separated in to categories. the categories have attributes including brand, room, designer, category, type, and collection. I have both “simple” products and “variable” products (where the product may come in multiple variations – usually by color). it looks like maybe Filter Everything Pro works at the parent level only, but doesn’t work correctly at the attribute level. If I search for a certain collection I get a valid result, but when i try to narrow by the color variation it seems to turn in to more of an OR search rather than an AND search. Is this expected behavior, and is there anything i can do to overcome it? I would need to be able to have the search criteria either exist at just the parent level or just the variation level (because something like color wouldn’t make sense except at the variation level for variable products).
Hi calogie
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
If you have any attributes that you are using for your variable products, you can go to the Filter Set > Navigate to the filter that is used for variables (color, size, etc.) > Click “More Options” > and from there, choose the option “Use for Variations” > then hit the Update button in the filter set.

I’m struggling to get the filter to display correctly on mobile. It’s working great on desktop, but on mobile, it is showing the filter selector twice, once on the top center of the page, and then on the left right above the products. If you navigate to https://www.winespectrum.com/wine-type/red/ on a mobile device, you will see what I’m talking about. The one on the top also doesn’t display the filters, well I actually think they are in there, but not visible unless you scroll down, and on mobile this doesn’t work. I honestly don’t care which of the two buttons are visible, but it’s confusing to have both, and one of them doesn’t function well. What do you suggest?
Hi LunabeanMedia
This button at the top of the page – https://prnt.sc/SCwO7wcWCQvZ – is not from our plugin. It is either from the theme itself or from a page builder. You can contact the support of the theme/page builder so they can help you with a solution on how to remove it. The button from our plugin is located below.

I see a button at the bottom of the filter section that says “Edit Filter Set” with a link back into my wordpress dashboard. Can I remove that button/link? I am currently only using a temporary url as I build out my site.
Hi adama212
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
This link is only visible when you are logged in as an Admin; it is not displayed for any other users, so you do not need to worry about it at all. It is for quick access to the filter set placed on the page.

Using, Astra pro, elementor pro, in mobile view, have setting to “Collapse the widget and show filter opening button”. This button appears on top of screen, and is sticky. it has a transparent background, and works well, but making it difficult to see/read as it blends with the products in the background. How can I change the transparent back ground to a color ?

Hi, Thanks, link and info sent…. good luck, hope you can get the “clash” sorted
Hi clouw316
We have added a small CSS fix example (Filters > Settings > Experimental > Custom CSS), so you can check it in case you face any other issues like that based on your theme styles:
.wpc-filters-overlay {
z-index: 10;
}
@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
.wpc-overlay-visible .ast-header-break-point .ast-shop-toolbar-container {
z-index: 9;
}
body.woocommerce #ast-scroll-top {
z-index: 9;
}
}

Thank you very much for your fast response and resolving the issue. Very impressed.
I am trying to filter a set of posts under one Category and hopefully the filter will display only those subcategories under the category. I have everything installed and setup, however the filter displays ALL categories. Probably an easy fix, but I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere.
Hi cechrist
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Can you please provide more information on this: “the filter will display only those subcategories under the category.”
We are a bit confused about what exactly you mean by that. If you are referring to this type of view – https://prnt.sc/w2vX9K1jIP99 – then it is only working for checkboxes. You can turn it on from the Filter Set > Navigate to the required taxonomy filter > “More Options” > and there will be an option to turn on the hierarchy view.

We switched hosting and I believe that’s what is causing the purchase code to be “invalid” when trying to activate it.
Envato support said we could reach out to you to reset the license key.
It’s only been used for 1 project.
NEVERMIND! I figured it out. Should have read the other comments first. My apologies!
Hi homesteadliving
We are glad to hear that your issue was resolved.

Hi, what could be the reason that when I select filtering, e.g. Direction (Kierunek) Denmark (Dania), it displays the results correctly but the expanded list does not collapse automatically
Hi silverfoxpl
Please send the link to the page with the issue and instructions on how we can recreate this issue on the page.
Best Regards,
Victor
That is correct behavior, what you can do to fit it to your exact logic, you can modify the JS code a bit so it will remove the class opened from all of the filters.
Best Regards,
Victor
where can i find the js code responsible for this
Perhaps in the code snippet plugin or in the theme’s functions.php file.

Hello, I’ve just purchased a licence for our staging site, which is regularly cloned from the live website. The plugin on the live site is licensed via the web developer who designed & built it.
I’ve pasted the Item Purchase Code into the License Key field in settings, but it is not being recognised, and the plugin remains Locked.
I don’t want to delete the plugin and upload the new one because (I assume) we would lose all the settings. Also, that would mean we would have to do that every time we clone live to staging.
How do I get the plugin to recognise the Item Purchase Code I’ve just bought?
Thanks

Hi Rod Graham
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
It is important to keep in mind that the License key and CodeCanyon purchase code are two different things.
Please use incognito mode in your browser!!!
In order to set the License key for the Filter Everything PRO plugin, simply head to Filters -> Settings -> License and click the “Get your License Key” button.
It will take you to a new page where you have to log in with your Envato credentials (with an account where you have purchased the plugin) and obtain your License key.

Victor
Sorted. Thank you!
I would like to add an seo rule to a ‘custom field’ (it is actually numeric but I have set it to be a normal custom field so I get a sensible url). example: domain.com/make/bmw/year-2025/
I cannot see how to add the year to the indexing. It shows as a ‘Custom Field Prefix’ in the URL Prefixes section, but nothing is showing under ‘indexed filters’ for ‘year’. Is there any way of adding this so the noindex etc. gets removed and I can add the seo text?
Hi MediaPagesLtd
Go to the Filters > Settings > Indexed Filters > and make sure the checkbox is “checked” next to the required filter from your custom field > and hit the save button.
Then go to the Filters > SEO Rules and create a SEO Rule using the filter from that custom field.
Best Regards,
Victor
That is my point – although the filter is set up (filter by: custom field, Meta Key= ca-year, Prefix for URL = year-registered) it appears in the URL prefixes tab, but NOT in the indexed filters tabs. This just has the taxonomies that I have used in other filters. Remember, this is not a taxonomy I am using but the CPT post meta. If it does not show in the indexed filters tab, I cannot make an SEO rule for it (I have set lots of these up so far with taxonomies so understand how to do one – I have also written a plugin to create a site map for the ones I have written). I assume it does not work either because it is a meta, not taxonomy or the meta data custom fields are not set up correctly on my theme?
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?
Best Regards,
Victor
Done
Go through all of your filter sets and delete all filters created from a custom field “ca-year” (when you delete it > hit the update button). When you delete them all, check one more time in all filter sets that you have if there is 100% no filter created from the “ca-year” meta key. Then, go to the filter set placed on the page that you sent us and create a filter from this custom field. We noticed that you have at least two filters (in different filter sets) from the same meta key with different prefixes, which is causing this issue.
After you create the filter from the “ca-year,” go to the Filters > Settings > Indexed filters and check if it appears there.
Best Regards,
Victor
I would still like to have the year from/to filter on my main search filter (called all Listings Filter). I would like to have the new filter set to filter on the make and body taxonomies so I can have /bmw/year-registered-2024/ as an indexed landing page. How can I achieve this?
In that case, you need two separate custom fields, one will be used for the indexing and the other one can be used for the range slider.

Hi
I create a seo rule on specifc filter -> https://dev.cavetown.nl/product-categorie/industriele-kasten/merken-eleonora/materialen9123-acaciahout/
I filled in the H1, meta description and title, but I dont see the content. What am I missing?

Hi An
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?
Also, we can make an SEO Rule example so you can check it.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi, I sent the credentials!
Basically, everything is working, just you have to turn off this option – https://prnt.sc/nXUg8tkGZd0f
And also, please check this option – https://prnt.sc/Na5uDppqehyJ in case you need to set the indexing depth.
As to the H1 not changing on the page, please check this page – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/all-about-seo/#seo_h1_description_issue
So you might want to contact your theme support and ask what hook you can use in order to change the H1 on those pages. Then add the code with that hook on your site, using a code snippet plugin.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor, I see yes. What I still see is the orginal content of the product category. This way you have like 2 seo texts. 1 of the seo rule and one of the general product category. That one should actually be gone when there is a seo rule text displayed. How can we solve this.
The instruction on the same page – https://prnt.sc/J5D_QhDXOmys just you have to use the hook of your theme that is responsible for that description in order to remove it and place the SEO Description you configured.
Best Regards,
Victor
Ok I understand. Doesnt this effect the SEO indexing technical aspect of everything?
Not at all, basically it is just replacing the SEO Description on the pages that have SEO Rules on them. It does not remove anything before you are filtering the page, or with the filter combinations that are not indexed with the SEO Rules.

Victor
Hello, I have a specific question.
We have 25 thousand simple products, without variations.
We will need almost 50 filter groups, each with 4 options.
Example:
Voltage (110v, 220v)
Colors (yellow, blue, green, gray, red)
I am calling each filter title a group.
They will be created in ACF so that we can mark these characteristics in the product registration to be filtered with the list on the website.
Does the plugin work well with this amount of filters using ACF?
No problem, or would there be another way?
Hi samucavirtualite
In general, the plugin can handle as many filters as you need. The only limitation is your server hardware, whether it can handle the load and provide fast calculations.

Victor
Function suggestion: Add user selection options for indexing and following. At present, the default index is nofollow, noindex. However, this will prevent Google from crawling old content. So I think the best way is to follow, noidex. What do you think? How to set it up?
Hi melody7
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
You have to create SEO Rules in order to make some pages indexable, or you can use custom code with the WP robot tags hook to make them all indexable by default.

Victor
Hi, I can’t remove an item from a filter. When I press “Delete”, the item remains, while the Delete button disappears. See this screenshot: https://staging.salonservice.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/filtri.jpg Thanks

Hi, i sent the credentials
This issue is coming from the WooCommerce B2B plugin, more likely this part of the code (admin.min.js):
o(document).on("click", ".button-link-delete", function(t) {
t.preventDefault(),
o(this).parents("tr").remove()
}),
Try to turn off that plugin and check if you can delete it without any issues. If you can, then please contact the WooCommerce B2B plugin developer and present the code that we have sent you, which is causing issues, so they can provide a fix for it on their side.

Hello, Victor!
I try to create SEO rule, but this doesn’t work for all page like:
/product-category/ – (site.com/product-category/some-category/attr-1)
but this is work fine for all shop page, like this: /shop/ (site.com/shop/some-category/attr-1)
Where mistake?
Hi WR023
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
If your site already has separate, indexed category pages, there is no need to create additional SEO rules for the “Shop” page using those same categories. Doing so would create duplicate SEO rules, some directing to the actual category pages and others to the shop page with the same chosen category, which can lead to confusion and may even be flagged as spammy by search engines.
To place SEO rules directly on category pages, go to Filters > Settings > Indexed Filters and uncheck the box for the category filter. This allows you to apply SEO rules to the actual category pages. However, keep in mind that the category filter will no longer appear in the SEO Rules options, as you’re now targeting the direct category pages with the SEO rules.
If you have a filter from a taxonomy (e.g., product categories) and it is indexed, you cannot apply SEO rules to those taxonomy pages. This approach is designed to follow SEO best practices and prevent potential duplication issues.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thank you for your reply, but I still don’t understand how to create an SEO page for a specific category page and some selected attributes?
I tried disabling the category filter, but it doesn’t have any effect. The meta descriptions don’t appear on page.
Can you try to set up an example for me on my shop?
Go to the category page and choose any option from “Тип Засобу” and you will see the SEO Rule in work. You can check it in the SEO Rules, how we created it.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thanks! This is awesome.
Some more questions:
1. Does the filter have a separate sitemap with SEO filter URLs? How does Google index the SEO filter links?
2. How can I enable Filter Chips in the sidebar only on mobile? I was displaying the chips above the products, but that block is hidden on mobile.
1) The sitemap functionality is currently in development. Filtered pages with SEO rules have robot tags set to index, follow, making them indexable. Other pages without SEO rules are tagged as noindex, nofollow.
2) This can only be achieved via custom CSS by setting the chips element to display: block when the screen width is less than 768px, and everything that is further display: none. You can use the exact chips widget or add any container for the chips with the custom ID or Class to do so.

I have a website here https://smartreno4u.ca/projects/ and I want to filter the projects like kitchen projects and bathroom projects and others, is it possible? I am using ASTRA THEME
Hi wowmedia247
If they are simple posts from the CPT named “projects” and displayed on the page via WP_Query, then yes, you can filter them.
Best Regards,
Victor
Do you have the possibility to add pagination for testing?
Because the problem seems to occur when a page is specified.
For example: https://test.filtereverything.pro/[category_name]/[filter_name]-[filter_value]/page/2
Thanks.
Yes, the pagination will not work on the category without the category particle in the URL; it will generate a 404 error. With or without our plugin.
Also, please respond in the same comment thread, as it becomes confusing when new threads are created just to add something to the same issue. This fragments the conversation, making it difficult to follow the full context.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thank you for your analysis; it helped me identify the problem.
I ran some tests, and it actually happens when you define the following permalink structure: / category / postname /
Unfortunately, I don’t see how to solve my problem with Filter Everything :/
We just tested it on our end, and even with such permalinks behavior, it is working:
