We presently have two licenses. One is on https://nlliquor.com/, our production site, and the other is for our staging site https://nlc20241.wpenginepowered.com/. Not sure which license is for which site. That being said, the later doesn’t have a license assigned to it and every time I try to add one of them, I’m told that is an Invalid license key. Can you assist.

Hi nlccorp

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.

Hi,

We would need help figuring out why “Out of stock visibility” function is not working correctly in our site.

The problem is that once I enable this function, it will automatically hide all out of stock items from categories even without using any filters. This is something we don’t want.

And once filter is selected, the filtered results still shows products that are out of stock. (for example; i want to display only size 44 shoes. Filtered results shows all shoes that has 44 as a variable option, but doesn’t take in to account variable stock status. Only the products that don’t have stock on any of their variable sizes will not be displayed as a result.)

Can you maybe help us with this problem?

Is there way we can continue this support in email? hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks, Peetu

Hi Peetu

Go to the filter set placed on the page you sent us, navigate to the Size filter, click More Options, check the “Use for variations” checkbox, and then click the Update button in the filter set. After that, check if everything is displayed correctly.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor,

Wow, thanks for the quick reply!

Yeah, now the filtering works… But once I enable this “Out of stock visibility – Hide out of stock items from filtering results” setting, it will automatically hide every single product that is totally out of stock. Even without any filtering. This is something we don’t want. We want to display out of stock items on our site, so our customers can order them as backorder.

Is there something we can do about that?

Thanks, Peetu

You can turn that option off and add a filter by stock status. You can check it here: https://prnt.sc/Ujo9HQrkOwWh

So clients can choose the status that fits them.

However, it might be a WooCommerce option hiding out-of-stock products. Our plugin should only hide these products during filtering, not before any filters are applied.

Hello,

We have a filter on https://www.blazecmo.org/fr/catalogue/ “Largeur (po)” that isn’t sorted. Is there a solution?

Thanks

Hi jean280

In order to sort filter terms, you can go to the filter set placed on your page, navigate to the required filter > click “more options” and from there you can choose sorting options > https://prnt.sc/QkcOwX7WWvmF

If none of the options fit your request, then you can write your own sorting pattern by a custom code using the hook “wpc_terms_before_display”

More about it you can read here – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/hooks/#terms-before-display-hook

Best Regards,
Victor

Do you have any examples with ACF fields?

Thanks

So this is the link to the actual page – https://www.blazecmo.org/en/catalogue/ and there is a 301 redirection on it – https://prnt.sc/lRys9lf-lpgE (moved permanently.)

And it is redirecting us to this page – https://www.blazecmo.org/en/catalog/ this is why you have no queries when you choose that page. So you might want to check that.

As to the ACF, you can check the example with the custom fields in this comment thread – https://codecanyon.net/comments/30849424

Hi there, we have just upgraded to Filter Everything Pro. On the main ‘search field’ that searches post content, title excerpt, and SKU, we want to change this with custom code. The most important thing is that we want to be able to search by attributes ‘colour’ and ‘hat-type’ and it display the results with the correct number of attributes from the search selected. We would like to leave the SKU and remove it finding string words in description and use whole words only.

How best do we go about doing this? Do attributes have to show on single product description? We have a staging site for the shop page in question – https://lizzieshats.com/staging123/collection/all-collections/ Many thanks Michele

We’d love to help, but unfortunately, we do not provide debugging or support for custom codes, as this falls outside the scope of our support policy on CodeCanyon. Our support is limited to the default functionality that comes with the plugin. Any custom functionality or extensions beyond the default capabilities are not included in the support.

We recommend hiring a developer on a platform like Upwork for assistance with writing or debugging custom code tailored to your needs.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor,

We have a developer working on this, he is struggling. This demo for example: https://demo.filtereverything.pro/example/by-weight/, could you please share the source code for this, this would help steer the developer in the right direction.

We’d be very grateful for your assistance.

Regards Michele

Hi Michele

On this demo page, the filter is created by “Custom Field Numeric” with the meta key “_weight”. There is no source code or any other separate code that was used for it – https://prnt.sc/oNnuUpmj4ons

Hello,

I’m using the IconicWP Attribute Swatches plugin (PRO version), with attributes containing colors and images.

My goal is to display the color swatches directly in the filter sidebar, using Filter Everything PRO.

Even after: - creating a blank WordPress site, - activating only IconicWP and Filter Everything PRO, - configuring a “color swatch” attribute, - activating the “Show in filters” option on the Iconic side, - using the “tag list” or “radio button” types in your options,

... the swatches never display, only the label text.

Can you confirm if IconicWP Swatches is officially compatible with Filter Everything PRO?

If not, is there a hook or setting I can enable so that your filters retrieve and display the color swatches associated with each term?

Thanks in advance for your help, Elodie

Hi Elodie

Please check this page – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/brands-and-color-swatches/

It contains the hooks that you can use to integrate the swatches from the plugin you are using.

Hello Victor,

I have a new question about filtering event from The Events Calendar.

Is it possible to create a filter event by month (from meta key “_EventStartDate”). Exemple : I would need to have a dropdown or a checkbox with all the month (january, february, etc.) and when I click or select a month, it will look the month in the meta key (_EventStartDate) and display only events with the month selected? The issue here is that the meta key return a timestamp like this : Y-m-d H:i:s (ex: 2025-06-01 17:30:00). Would it be possible to filter the result and only return the month?

Thanks again for your help,

Best regards, Alex

Hi Alex

Perhaps the best option here is to create a checkbox ACF custom field. Add all the required month names to it and apply them to your events. Then, you can create a filter based on those events to filter them by month.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hello,

Thanks! I thought about this solution too but I wanted to be sure that there wasn’t another way.

I will do like you suggested.

Thanks again, Alex

Technically you can check this page – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-cpt-with-acf-relationship-field/ if it is really returning the date, you can use regex to check the month number and based on it return the month name by its number. However, this will more likely cause multiple fields with the same names, it wasn’t tested in such a way. If you want to experiment with a custom code, you can try to give it a go.

Or if it is not a relationship field, you can use this hook “wpc_terms_before_display” – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/hooks/#terms-before-display-hook

I’m having an issue with the filter showing the correct number of posts after I’ve performed a search. Posts can be filtered by 3 categories (difficulty, subject and skill). There are many instances of the search where the numbers for each category are either incorrect or not shown at all. The test url is https://ctrl-f.ca/testing/examples/. There is a search bar top right above the Examples title. If you search ‘test’, or ‘truck’ you’ll see that the numbers are wrong or nothing shows up in the filter sidebar. Is there any insight into what is happening? (This is using the default wp search.php file.)

Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

Best Regards,
Victor

user password is nTLLPp2KZa$QI82i214Yp8IB

I created a clone of the site and added them as a user there

https://ctrl-f.ca/testing/login/

We have created a separate filter set for a search page, also this is the correct link where the search input should lead you: https://ctrl-f.ca/testing/?s=test&post_type=post The “&post_type=post” is the crucial part.

Also, you should not post the credentials here, as the comments are visible to all of the users, there is an exact part in the credentials instruction saying that it should be sent via PM – https://prnt.sc/aWu3ql46wBiO for your own safety.

Good morning. Woke up to terrible wordpress and website performance. Disabled “Filter Everything PRO” and performance returned to normal. It’s a simple filter with category and then tags. We are on Wordpress Version 6.8.1. The page is https://chadgpt.com/prompt-library/

Hi cechrist

The root of the issue is likely that certain bots endlessly looping through filtered links, which causes CPU usage to spike to 100%. To resolve this, try blocking those crawlers using firewall settings and updating your robots.txt file accordingly.

You should also consider contacting your hosting provider for assistance in identifying the specific crawlers that are continuously crawling the site. Once these are blocked, the issue should be resolved, and your site’s performance should return to normal.

Victor

Hello,

I recently purchased Filter Everything Pro and followed the setup instructions carefully, but unfortunately the filtering is not working as expected. The filter widget displays the available values (2024 and 2025) correctly, but the item counters show 0 for each, and selecting any of the options does not filter the posts at all — all items remain visible.

I’ve created a custom post type (“Apariții în presă”) and used an ACF number field named anul_aparitiei, which is filled in correctly for each post. I also linked the filter set to the correct post type and page, and selected the relevant WP Query.

Can you please help me identify what might be going wrong?

Thank you!

I have switched my theme to a Blocksy theme, and I am using the the Filter Everything plugin to create seo friendly archive pages.

I used this code to show the SEO description added in filter everything categories in place of the woocommerce category description (or .page-description in blocksy) which shows the default category description for filtered pages. The code does not appear to be working on the new theme, and the SEO description is not showing on the filtered categories at all. Can you assist please?

/* Show SEO Description From Filter Everything not theme/ add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wpc_add_filters_seo_description’); function wpc_add_filters_seo_description(){ if( class_exists( ‘FilterEverything\Filter\Container’ ) ){ $seoFrontEnd = FilterEverything\Filter\Container::instance()->getSeoFrontendService();

// Specify here your hook where you want to see the SEO description $your_new_hook = ‘woocommerce_archive_description’; if( flrt_is_filter_request() ){ // Remove WooCommerce archive description remove_action( ‘woocommerce_archive_description’, ‘woocommerce_taxonomy_archive_description’, 10 ); }

// Remove the default SEO description from the bottom of the page so it won’t be duplicated remove_action(‘woocommerce_after_shop_loop’, [ $seoFrontEnd, ‘showSeoDescription’ ], 5);

// Add SEO description on your new hook add_action( $your_new_hook, [ $seoFrontEnd, ‘showSeoDescription’ ] ); } }

Hi paulsf

If you’ve switched to a different theme, you’ll need to check which hooks that theme uses. Alternatively, you can contact the theme’s support team to ask for the specific hooks being used on the page. To modify the description and H1.

Victor

Hi,

The license is activated. It appears on further checking that none of the meta data from the filter plug in is appearing in the filtered pages.

- The meta title (SEO) – this is seperate to the page hooks? - The H1 Title - The Page Description

All are showing the default woocommerce category page names.

The plugin is filtering the products correctly but that is all.

Go to Filters > Settings > Indexing Depth and set the maximum number of filters to be indexed for the needed post type. Make sure it is a big enough number.

Also, make sure you turned off from the Settings > Reading > Search engine visibility option to make SEO Rules work.

And last but not least, make sure there are no other SEO plugin settings that could cause issues.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hey Victor, is it possible to duplicate Filter Sets?

My problem is that I need just one filter structur for all my pages, but I also have several pages with no product query (Contact, Imprint, Data Policy etc.) and therefore one Filter Set for all of my pages is not possible as the error “no product query available” shows up. So I guess I have to create the same Filter Set again and again for each page, do I?

Thank you for your help!

Hi heloaffiliatenetwork

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

There is currently no filter duplication functionality available, it’s still in development. However, if you have different pages using separate WP_Queries (grid loops), you’ll need to create individual filter sets for each one. This is necessary because each page uses a unique query. At the moment, the only option is to manually create separate filter sets for each page.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi heloaffiliatenetwork

The update to add the duplication of Filter Sets will be released today in a couple of hours.

We had Issue with your plugin – it caused options table to be 150GB – and was increasing everysecond.

https://imgur.com/p7l25jE

now we upated to 1.9.0 (from 1.7. something) and its ok.

what triggered this amount of issues I have no idea.

- we use WP multilang and on product attributes values its bringning both language versions: მასალა

1486

91

how to proceed to fix it?

Can you please try to rewrite your request? As it’s quite confusing and difficult to understand.

Im sorry for not providing enough details. here is the screenshot of issue we have: https://i.imgur.com/YRKVSNf.png the issue is only for product attributes filters – categories filter or tags works fine.

superstore.ge/shop is website and you can check! we need to make it compatible so my developer is asking where is this values coming from – or written in code so he can have look at it.

These values are coming from the database, so these are the exact values that you have in your database for your attributes.

You can check this page for a hook allowing you to change the filter terms, maybe it will help you – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/hooks/#terms-before-display-hook

Hi there

Our category structure looks like this:

Equipment - Balls - – Basketballs - – Footballs - Camping - – Tents - – - Accessories Shoes - Cycling Shoes - – MTB Shoes

When visiting a subcategory page like “Balls”, the filter currently shows the top-level category (e.g. “Equipment”) with a toggle to open subcategories like “Balls”. Then “Balls” appears again with a checkbox.

This creates an unnecessary extra step for users. We would like to hide the top-level categories like “Equipment” and show only the relevant subcategories directly, especially if they have children of their own.

Alternatively, if that’s not possible, maybe it’s possible to add a single “All” option at the top and skip the top-level category blocks?

Is there a way to do this in the plugin settings or with custom code?

Thanks in advance for your support!

Hi aariedle

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

What you can do in such a case, is to apply separate filter sets for each category. And in the required filter click “more option” and from there use the “include/exclude” functionality in order to display those terms that you like.

Or remove all of the parent categories if you apply them on all pages.

Best Regards,
Victor

hey Victor, i tryed that, if i exlude the therm “equitment” i also lose the Child categorys, i just want to remove the first level. :S or do i something wrong?

If you are using the hierarchy view, this may cause issues when certain terms are removed, as it can break the hierarchy chain. In such cases, it’s recommended to disable the hierarchy view.

Best Regards,
Victor
