Just bought the PRO version

I would like just the searchbar to be placed on my frontpage, and when searching it will go to the shoppage and show the result.

Is that possible?

I get this error when using a shortcode.

No one Filter Set is related to this page. You can configure it in the Filter Set -> “Where to filter?” field.

So can you walk me through what to put in?

I trie to put the apply filtering to PAge and then choose the frontpage.

But then I get No WP Queries matched

Good morning, since we installed your filtering plugin on our WooCommerce store ([https://greenterest.it](https://greenterest.it)), we’ve been experiencing a serious issue with Googlebot requests overloading the server.

We are seeing continuous, high-frequency requests from Googlebot that include complex query strings with multiple non-cacheable parameters. For example:

``` [28/May/2025:12:17:05 +0200] “POST /?wc-ajax=get_refreshed_fragments HTTP/1.1” 200 837 “https://greenterest.it/tappeti-erbosi/concime-prati/?et_per_page=12&filtro-offerta=yes&filtro-categorie=biostimolanti;biostimolanti-liquidi;concime-antimuschio;concime-antistress-prato;concime-organico;concime-prati;concime-prato-autunnale;concime-prato-primavera;concime-semina-prato;concime-starter-prati;concime-universale;fungicida-prato;liquidi&filtro-brand=bottos” “Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; Nexus 5X Build/MMB29P) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/136.0.7103.92 Mobile Safari/537.36 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)" ```

This type of traffic is not only unnecessary for SEO, but it’s also saturating our CPU resources and heavily affecting site performance.

Can you please advise how we can mitigate this? Are there any recommended settings or adjustments to prevent the plugin from generating such URLs for bots, or to block them efficiently?

We would appreciate an urgent solution or guidance, as this situation is becoming critical.

Best regards

Hi Officina2-0

To resolve this, you can use firewall settings and update your robots.txt file accordingly. In the robots.txt file, you can add rules to disallow the crawling of specific query parameters used by the plugin. For example:

User-agent: * 
Disallow: /*?filtro-offerta=* 
Disallow: /*?filtro-categorie=* 
Disallow: /*?filtro-brand=*

And other rules to instruct Googlebot which URLs to avoid crawling.

The ”?wc-ajax” is not from our plugin this is from some other plugin.

Hi

I have set up in Divi Builder 2 filter sets from Filter Everything on two separate pages. One that is English and one that is Norwegian. Now I have not used a translation program, but created the pages manually and linked as we want. Everything has gone well except when I press the reset button in the filter or down in chips. Then many pages that I have created appear that are both Norwegian and English, plus pages that are not connected to the filter.

The page is set up in Divi Builder via the blog function. Now there are pages that it filters not posts or products.

I first tried to take away the reset button, but there is a reset button down in chips too. We want to use chips. It would have been nice to have a reset button too. Can you help me?

Hi marifkarlsen

So this is basically related to the same custom functionality issue.

Show/hide product on filtering: As we mentioned earlier, this functionality is not related to our plugin. It is custom functionality that should be handled on the client side. The issue you’re currently facing is that your solution is only partially working, and after the page is filtered and displaying posts, refreshing the page hides the products, even though the filters are still active.

This happens because you are not using the following function, and the same with chips refreshing:

/**
 * @return bool true if it is a filtered page and false if not
 */ 
flrt_is_filter_request();

You need to check whether the page is filtered or not, and only then apply the required styles. If you are struggling to implement the working solution for hiding/displaying posts during filtering, please contact your site developer for assistance. All custom code and functionality that is not included in the plugin by default falls outside the scope of our support policy.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor,

The filter works, but not with the chips. Am I understanding correctly that for the chips to work, I need to display all pages and remove the JavaScript that clears the container? That’s probably where the issue lies.

The reason I’ve cleared the container (removed some pages) is because both the Norwegian and English pages are showing together. I set up the language versions manually without using WPML, to keep costs down.

If I install WPML and press “reset,” will that automatically show only Norwegian pages on the Norwegian version and only English pages on the English version?

I’ll try deleting and re-adding the chips, but I expect the same issue to happen again.

FE_support Author Team

Hi marifkarlsen

What you can do without WPML is create two custom page templates: one using WP_Query to display only the required pages in the NR language, and another using WP_Query to display only pages in the EN language. Then apply those templates to the corresponding pages. The filter will work correctly on those pages since only one language’s pages will be displayed. Hiding pages with CSS will not change anything.

With WPML, you need to translate each filtered page, the pages where they are displayed, and related content as well. We recommend looking into some basic documentation or tutorials on WPML to understand how it works, as this will help you find the right approach more easily.

Victor

Hi there,

I’m running into an issue with the Filter Everything Pro plugin (version 1.9.0). Every time I add more filters like color or item type I get this error: Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /wp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/Entities/EntityManager.php on line 62 It shows up right after I add the filters, and it seems to only happen when I use custom taxonomies. Filters like price and stock status are working fine. Would appreciate your help on this.

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

Best Regards,
Victor

Unfortunately, we’re unable to share the wp-admin credentials. Is there another way you’d be able to check what’s going wrong? We’re happy to provide any details or screensho

In that case, you can create a staging site that replicates the same issue, so we can investigate and provide more accurate information on what might be causing it. Without being able to check the actual setup, it’s nearly impossible to resolve issues like this, as there could be a wide range of potential reasons on the site.

Victor

Hi,

I use your filter everything plugin, but is shows not right UX filter here https://bit.ly/3SjSaC2

Could you advice me what is actually happenned and how to fix filter?

Best, Agung

Hi Agung

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Could you please provide more detailed information about the issue described as “shows not right UX filter here”? Specifically, what do you mean by that? Are you referring to incorrect filter options being displayed, unexpected behavior when interacting with the filters, or something else? Any additional information or examples would be helpful for troubleshooting.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Filter Everything team,

I’m using the Pro version with Elementor Pro to filter WooCommerce tires by size. The filter works on archive pages, but not on a custom “Browse Tires” page built with Elementor.

When I use “Current Query” as the filter target, it shows “No WP Queries matched.” If I switch to “Latest Products,” the filter appears but selecting a size doesn’t update the product grid.

Can you confirm if your plugin works with Elementor Loop Grid on non-archive pages? If not, what’s the best setup?

Thanks, Vanessa Wimberly https://minilubestires.com minilubestires@gmail.com

Hi Vanessa

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

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

Also, please send the link to the page where you are trying to make the filters work, so we can set up an example on that page.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Vaness

Could you please check if the page you sent us is now working correctly and filtering correctly? All we did was select the correct query in the filter set (check the screenshot: https://prnt.sc/8nJYsoFhMMP2 ) and then click the Update button.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hello. Filter Everything Pro is working great on our Vehicles page and our Home page. I also have many custom template pages I am trying to get working with FEP. For example, one of our categories is “Airstreams” and I have a page were we explain the use of Airstreams for marketing and then below the text we have our vehicles listings but it only shows the vehicles that are in the category “Airstream”. We create these special pages for each category and each body-style and so on. I have tried adding a Category-Airstream Filter to FEP and using the query code from the content vehicles page, but it doesn’t work. I don’t know what code to add to my template php page and I don’t know where to apply the “Airstream” filter. Can you point me toward getting FEP working on those pages?

We have checked the page, and this is far beyond the support policies, but we added you a custom code snippet in the “Code Snipper plugin” to display your CPT, and used the shortcode to display them on this page – https://experientialvehicles.com/airstream/ even styled to the previous looked ones.

You can check it, study it, to see how we did it.

Best Regards,
Victor

I apologize for this being out of scope for your program. I was unsure where the issue was coming from. But WOW! you did an amazing job taking care of exactly what I needed. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for helping when it was out of scope. You’ve given us outstanding support!

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.

Victor

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

Also, please do not create several separate comments related to the same questions, you can reply in the same comment thread. As it can lead to confusion and spam.

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.

Best Regards,
Victor
