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.)
Hi brian297
We have checked the site, can you please provide us with information on which filter terms display the incorrect results?
Best Regards,
Victor
The Subject and Skill filters are incorrect. If you go to that link and type in the two words I sent you before, you can see the numbers don’t add up.
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

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.

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’ ] ); } }
I have just realised that the license is not activated for this plugin on the staging site. This may be affecting the functionality? When I try to activate on staging it says invalid. Could you please advise?
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.
Best Regards,
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.

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/p7l25jEnow 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?
მასალა
“[:en]Plastic[:ka]პლასტმასი[:] 1486

Hi achi1
Could you please share some examples of this data? The screenshot doesn’t provide any clear information.
We’ve never encountered this kind of issue before, so any additional details would be very helpful. Specifically, could you provide examples of the option names and their corresponding values that were created? This information will help us better understand what might have caused the unusually large options table.
Best Regards,
Victor
- where are using attributes in multi languages(wp multilang) and where is the code/file so we can fix in it?
-
Can you please try to rewrite your request? As it’s quite confusing and difficult to understand.

Victor
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. 
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.

Hello. Does this plugin also work with ACF Relationships and Repeaters. For example, I want to filter items that have a certain Relationship?
Hi vincentjongman
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
Unfortunately, the filter does not work with repeater fields due to their dynamic structure. In a repeater, all subfields use dynamic meta keys like some_0_key, some_1_key, some_2_key, and so on.
While it’s technically possible to create filters using these keys, you won’t know in advance how many times the repeater will be used within a post or product.
Creating 10–20 potential filters to cover all possible cases is inefficient and not a scalable solution. Additionally, each would function as a separate filter, for example:
Repeater 1
term 1
term 2
Repeater 2
term 3
Repeater 3
term 4
In summary, while you can filter by custom fields created inside a group, the repeater field doesn’t work in a way that supports consistent filtering functionality. We are not even sure if there is any filtering plugin that is working with repeater fields.
As to the relationship fields, it is working with them.

Hi, this is my third ticket and this is just issue I have noticed today for the first time after testing plugin for several days and never had this issue. I selected categ Torbe (https://www.rotharo.com/katalog/) and I have total 14 items in this category. Then I clicked apply and all seems fine. Then I clicked page 2 of the options (pagination) and at that moment page 3,4 and 5 appears in pagination (I have to emphasize that I have 5 pages of ALL products and torbe(bags) on just 2 pages). Please lmk why is this happening because this is the biggest problem of all if plugin filters all products instead just torbe- like its not working anymore.
Hi Zabolemepatka
This is why we mentioned pagination in our initial response to your first request. The current pagination appears to work in a non-standard way, it does not apply any parameters to the URL and ignores the filtered query.
As a result, it simply displays the content that would normally appear on the second page without any filtering applied. We recommend using the default WordPress pagination for that.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi, I am using your plugin, pro version with apply method option. What I need is that when customer choose all filters he/she wants and click apply button, all filters are collapsed (at this moment if you choose for ex 2 categories, 1 brand and one color and click apply, all 3 filters mentioned are fully opened with all options) and i want them just without anything becaus it takes too much space, confuses customers and instead results filtered takes too much space and results are below and you have to scroll down.
Hi Zabolemepatka
Perhaps the best option in this case would be to go to Filters > Settings > General and set a maximum height for the filter container. This will apply a scrollbar to the filter section, which could be a more effective solution than using the “more/less” or folding options. It will look something like this – https://prnt.sc/IOzKNGM0WbI7
Best Regards,
Victor
this what I said was my client request- if you try filtering in any website, when you choose options usually they fold back (all options become unvisible) especially on mobile- because takes to much space. In filter evrything pro- options stay the same as you choose them (which is really unnecessary because we have chips showing what we choose). So is there any other way after clicking apply button, for all options to become as on start https://www.rotharo.com/katalog all in one line- am using HORIZONTAL filters obviously.
The behavior you described is the default behavior of a standard dropdown (select) element, which is expected. However, since you’re using a custom solution to simulate dropdown functionality, it won’t behave the same way as the native dropdown.
What you can do is inspect the element that changes when you click to display the filter terms. Depending on whether the list is opened or closed, specific classes like .wpc-closed and .wpc-opened will be added or removed.
You can then write a custom JavaScript function to detect when a filter term is selected and automatically close the opened list by toggling these classes accordingly.
Best Regards,
Victor
ok, I will try something, but is it possible to do something easier (without js code written) at least for mobile and leave as is on desktop version.
Not really as the JS is the only option here. There is no other option to apply such functionality and change behavior.

Victor
Hi There, how do I translate the actual filters and also how come the numbers do not display on the filtered page?
Thanks
Hi ClintHendricks
Please check this page – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/with-wpml-polylang/
If you want to translate the filter terms, you have to translate their taxonomies, use specific custom fields to the required language, and so on.
In the filter set settings, there is this option for counters – https://prnt.sc/7KGvZ6Q-SbhA make sure that you choose the correct query in the “And what to filter”
Best Regards,
Victor
1 ) The counter shows on the english page but not on the translated page : (
Let me try and translate the taxonomies tho
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check your setup in general, and on which pages you are trying to display translated and original language posts and filters.

Hi Victor, I have sent credentials from the doc and in email : )
We placed the DE filter set on the required page (it was placed at “any page”) and now everything is working. Also, please note, that if you want translated filter terms, you need to translate those as well – https://prnt.sc/twxvgcvib-Dr

Hi
Is there any possibility to show the filter set on multiple pages? Currently we can only select only one ‘where to filter’. I would like to use the same filters on a Category Archive page (created with Elementor) and on the shop page.
Thanks! Thomas
Hi Thomas
If they are using the same main query approach, then you can place your filter on “Common WordPress pages + All archive pages”.
But most likely they are using unique queries across all of the pages, so you have to create separate filter sets, for a shop page and all category pages. Or if the category pages are using the main query, you can set it as “Product categories + Any category”.
Currently, it is not possible to place the same filter set on multiple specific pages.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thanks again for the info. Can I request to add this to a backlog? It would be helpful as I’m using the plugin for different websites, where this would be helpful.
We can forward this to the development team for further review. However, technically speaking, if each page has a unique query, you would need to configure each page individually with the required query. This would result in a large list of hashed queries, and every time the system would need to loop through them to find the correct one for the active filter on the specific page.
Since all pages are using a single filter set, this approach could significantly reduce performance. This is why the best option is to use separate filter sets in such cases. Additionally, considering that the order or number of queries can change, this would require repeatedly reviewing and updating each configuration whenever any changes are made to the queries. Rather than doing so for the exact filter set on that page.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thx for the clarification!
Good afternoon. I’ve sent you login credentials and backed up, as requested. I look forward to your response.
Hi KormendyTrottVideos
We have checked the site and added a filter widget using Elementor (there was only a sorting widget). It is now working. However, your page has some issues and is not functioning correctly. Please check the errors in the browser console: https://prnt.sc/nImiY5lGFFJx

Hello, I have issue with sort by and cant make it to wrok for last few days. It is working as widget and is displayed on website properly, but prices from low to high and from high to low are all mixed up and no way truth. Please explain how to fix? My url is https://www.rotharo.com/katalog/ so you can try yourself. PS: I added sort by Meta key numeric and _price. I also tried with set filters Custom Field Numeric and _price, but also no luck. I would like most to have sort by widget though.
Hi Zabolemepatka
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Does the price sorting is working correctly on the initial page? And doesn’t it work on other pages that come after it?
Best Regards,

hi, doesnt work at all, I have only sort by on katalog page. I want that to look exactly SAME as your demo https://demo.filtereverything.pro/product-category/clothing/women/color-red/brand-hm/c-kind-dress/?max_price=100 to say Sort by.. at first glance and same dropdown, border etc and then when i choose by price:low to high and by price:high to low- to work exactly as in your demo (mine if you test this shows weird low price low low and then suddenly boom one of the most expensive pieces- in my opinion it doesnt work at all and shows all my products by order set up in my backend)
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

yes, i will, and please check other issues with my username (total 3). i am using Neytiri woocommerce theme. Let me know if i should emphasize them all in one place
Let’s focus on one issue at a time, rather than trying to fix all three at once. Once we’ve resolved one issue, we can move on to the next, and so on. This approach will ensure more efficient support, rather than a chaotic attempt to address everything simultaneously.

We created a test page here – yoursite.com/fe_support_test_page/ (just use your site URL to check it instead of yoursite.com) the sorting widget is working fine there by the price.
However we have checked what type of widget you are using to display products on the page, and it comes from the theme. With that weird pagination, you can make a request to their support team, to ask how you can use a default WP numerical pagination with the products widget, instead of what is there now.
Best Regards,
Victor
no it doesnt, please choose torbe as kategorija (first filter), and see price asc sort by its all mixed up and not just torbe (bags). And prices are low low high low high etc. Also please try to say no for pagination and also you will see that filters dont work, so it cant be only related to pagination?
And please is there any way to check selected categ faster- when you choose option it takes several seconds to actually check button and I am afraid customers will think its not working and they will drop selection.
Yeah, you’re right. However, it seems this issue is actually coming from another plugin. We ran several tests and even used a custom query, but the issue still persists. On our end, everything is working without any problems, which suggests the issue is likely caused by a plugin or custom code on your site.
We recommend fully deactivating all plugins and switching to a default WordPress theme. Then, activate only Elementor, the Code Snippets plugin (as it is used for the custom shotcode that we added), and WooCommerce. After that, test the issue again on the page we created, as it uses our custom shortcodes to display the products.
Every time you select a filter term, it updates the status of all other filters. This behavior cannot be disabled. To improve the speed of this process, upgrading to better server hardware is recommended.
Best Regards,
Victor
Now there is a bug with loading products. I assure you that your plugin worked few days ago, until i add sorting widget. Because I created first that and played with filters for 2 or day and everything worked. Will all scripts and neytri theme.
Hi, took me all day to prove that issue I am having is related to your sorting widget, not my theme/plugins. Here is the proof https://www.rotharo.com/katalog/, so you can test it- default sorting is working and your sorting is not. Even all theme features work with filters. Please test so you can see yourself and finaly figure out what is wrong with sorting widget. The question I am asking myself now is what did you test, why did you instal lso many plugins etc, when the point is evrything filters pro sorting is not working.
Hi Zabolemepatka
Thank you for providing the page with the default WooCommerce sorting widget. This is actually a very good example. Please check the same behavior here – https://prnt.sc/JhOWzlcNH4dp you can see the issue on this exact page – https://www.rotharo.com/katalog/page/2/?orderby=price
As you can see, the products are mixed and not sorted by price correctly, as they should be. So if this is a default WooCOmmerce sorting and it is not working correctly, then there is something more that is altering this state.
If by the loading bug, you are reffering to the speed of the loading products, it is connected to the site speed. Please check those results – https://prnt.sc/yDBkxn196C1f and how much time it takes to load the category page, without our filters on it.

I have a gallery of images and have set up three separate filters to help users find the images they need. All of the filters are designated as “0” in terms of heirarchy (I have also tried labeling them numberically 1, 2, 3 with the same results). The three filter sets seem to be interconnected but I would like them to behave independent of one another. When I select a topic in one of the filters (a filter set designed to display color attributes [green; yellow; orange; red] doesn’t yield the results expected. I’m always met with the same error message (Sorry, No Content Found). All three filter sets are designed the same way: An opening filter Color, with all the following filter entries only activated if Color is selected. Once this happens I have a list of other attributes I can apply to the initial filter. But everything choice leads to the same error message. Can you help?
Hi redengine
Does the pictures are separate CPT? Or they are the default WP attachment post type? Also, in order to filter them they should be displayed via WP_Query on the page.
Best Regards,
Victor
The images are the featured images taken from a CPT. The same CPT is used for all filter sets. Each filter set used a separate trigger to allow for sorting. The CPT is called “Metadata” and the filter sets are as follows “Images Show” [which images are we as a company permitted to show to clients]; “Software” [which software was used to create the image]; and, “Dataset” [which dataset is the image from]. Each of the three filter sets are meant to operate independent from one another. The filter sets should allow the user to sort by either “Images Show,” “Software,” or “Dataset”.
Hi redengine
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?
Best Regards,
Victor
I sent you a PM. Thanks for all your help.
We’ve checked the site and removed two other filter sets (placing them on the homepage) to prevent conflicts with the filters. Now, only the Software filter set is used on the Images page. Filtering is working correctly.
However, the pagination in this gallery isn’t functioning as expected, it’s ignoring the filtered query entirely. A better solution for a page focused only on displaying images with the link to the posts might be to use a custom WP_Query shortcode for your CPT, combined with WordPress’s default numerical pagination. This setup should ensure everything works smoothly without issues.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thank you. So it’s not possible to have more than one filter set? The client wants to be able to sort in various ways depending on their needs.
Richard
It is possible, but if you are using the same entities in 2-3 filter sets, they will act like one filter on the page.
So if there are 3 color filters: one with checkboxes, one with a select, and one with radio buttons, each will allow selecting only one attribute. As they all are working together as one entity, and if there is one filter set that does not allow selecting more than one filter, the rest will act in the same way.
If they use different entities like color1, color2, and color3 (separate taxonomies, custom fields) then they will act like separate ones.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi, I have a problem with the filter settings. I created a category and everything works correctly, but then when I want to insert a new filter always for product category it doesn’t let me insert it. I need to set a filter for wine cellars, a filter for the regions of the country that both correspond to product categories but I can’t figure out how to do it. Also in the url prefix field, for each filter I insert it automatically puts this quotwine_cellarsquot and I can’t change it. Could you help me?
Hi myfiestanalytics
You can create only one filter from one taxonomy. For example, if you have a “product category” taxonomy, only one filter can be created from it.
How to resolve the problem? Create multiple separate taxonomies, one for countries, one for cities, and so on. You can use this plugin to add custom taxonomies to your CPT/Products – https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/
Best Regards,
Victor
Hello, I’m still having trouble adding new categories to the filters. I was advised to use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/ and that you can only create one filter from a taxonomy. For example, if you have a “product category” taxonomy, you can only create one filter from it. How can I solve this problem? Create multiple separate taxonomies, one for countries, one for cities, and so on. But how do I create new taxonomies? If I give you access, could you please check?
Hi myfiestanalytics
You can add a custom taxonomy like this: https://prnt.sc/zP4zcLHeaDDq just make sure you are using a unique slug for taxonomies. Instead of something basic like “category”, “tags”, “height” and so on. Use something like fe_prod_color, fe_prod_size, fe_prod_country, and so on.
Best Regards,
Victor
Okay, I’ve set “fe_prod_regioni” as the prefix, but now how do I get the various categories to appear within this taxonomy? I can’t figure out how it works.
You just go to the products and choose the freshly added taxonomy – https://prnt.sc/hnxTn_CNHRWj and create your categories there.
If you want the same behavior as the “products categories” rather than “tags” you can edit the freshly added taxonomy in the plugin and change this to the true: https://prnt.sc/K384Asya9aqa you have to edit this category in the plugin where you added it.
