Hi informaticamediaadgo

Done! The issue is that you used the same slugs for filter prefixes as already created for other pages on your site. This is causing the conflict, they should be unique.

Hello Victor,

Yes, but we need clean URLs without fe_ tags.

Our SEO manager doesn’t want this because he says it’s not good.

Isn’t there a way to exclude sitemaps from the plugin’s writing rules with a hook or filter?

The titles don’t look good either, and they’re defined for taxonomies.

This is not an issue with sitemaps, as the plugin does not currently include sitemap functionality, it is still in development.

The issue you’re facing is that WordPress gets confused when the same slug (e.g., localization) is used for different purposes, such as an attribute, taxonomy, or filter query. This can lead to problems like 404 errors (which you’ve experienced), incorrect page loads, or redirection to the wrong page, for example, being taken to an attribute archive instead of a filtered shop page.

The filter URL prefix should not be the same as the slugs for attributes, taxonomies, pages, and any other slugs on the site. The filter slugs should be unique, so if there is already a page, attribute, or anything else on the site with the slug localization, it should not be used for filter URLs.

You can use this hook – https://filtereverything.pro/resources/hooks/#terms-before-display-hook to rename some of your categories to another names if they do not fit.

Best Regards,
Victor

But if I disable the filter plugin, it doesn’t cause any problems and the sitemaps can be loaded. So it’s the filter plugin that’s modifying the writing rules. you can check it yourself.

Victor hablas español?

Victor, I’ve managed to understand how the plugin works and I’ve disabled the parse_request for the taxonomic sitemaps that were causing the problems.

// excluye las reglas del plugin de filtros para los sitemaps de taxonomias

add_action(‘parse_request’, function($wp) { // Solo actuar si contiene ‘sitemap’ en la URL if (strpos($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], ‘sitemap’) !== false) { // Obtener el nombre base de la URL solicitada $request_uri = trim(parse_url($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], PHP_URL_PATH), ’/’); }, 1);

// Coincide con el patrón {taxo}-sitemap.xml
    if (preg_match('/^([a-z0-9_-]+)-sitemap\.xml$/', $request_uri, $matches)) {
        $taxo = $matches[1];
}

// Verifica que sea una taxonomía registrada
    if (taxonomy_exists($taxo)) {
        $wp->query_vars = [
            'sitemap' => $taxo,
            'sitemap-subtype' => $taxo,
        ];
        $wp->request = $request_uri;
        $wp->matched_rule = '([a-z0-9-]+)-sitemap\.xml$';
        $wp->matched_query = 'sitemap=$matches[1]';
    }
}

Now I have another problem, the H1 defined in the pattern is not painted well.

Can you help me please?

Hi informaticamediaadgo

We are not sure what you mean by the H1 not painted well. But currently when you are choosing filtering you get redirected to the actual archive pages since you are using the same prefix as your archive page slugs.

Best Regards,
Victor

SEO rules don’t apply to h1

Example

Courses in {location} {course-type} – Goupeducation

The rule doesn’t apply to content in h1s.

The h1 should be

Cursos en Barcelona de Aesthetics and beauty

They don’t work because when you select a filter term from “localizations,” you’re no longer on a filtered page (which is a courses page), you’re on a physical “location-barcelona” category page. This is exactly what we’ve been explaining: using the same slugs can be problematic and may lead to various issues and conflicts and 404 errors across the pages because of how WordPress is working.

If the SEO manager insists on using the same slugs for archive pages and for filter prefixes, despite knowing this can lead to conflicts and issues, they can experiment and rewrite the core WordPress functionality to match their specific requirements. That’s the only workaround available to make it behave as they want.

Best Regards,
Victor

Would it be possible to use filters with another prefix without using an underscore at the end? It doesn’t want underscores: (

fe_tipo-de-curso

by

tipo-de-curso-fe

??

Thank you for your patience Victor : )

Yes, you can use dash symbols for the prefixes like: term-something-something.

Just make sure that the first part, such as: “term” or any other name that you are going to use, doesn’t conflict with existing slugs. For example, archive pages might use slugs like term, and term-cars could lead to a physical taxonomy page. This can cause conflicts between archive and filtered pages, as they would essentially share the same URL structure.

Aside from that, you’re free to use the format however you’d like. The reason why we have added fe_ is because we know for a fact this will be a unique value that does not exist on the site.

Best Regards,
Victor

Another thing, Victor. I have another taxonomy for the filters, “Modality,” whose terms are in-person and online. If I select “online,” I need to hide the location filter. Or if I select an option from the “Location” taxonomy, I would need to hide the presence option. How would that be done?

Hi informaticamediaadgo

When you choose an exact filter term, and there are zero filter terms in the filter that you need to hide, then you can go to the Filter Set > below “And what to filter,” there will be options like “Hide empty filter terms > set to always hide” and another option “Hide empty filters > check the checkbox to hide them.”

But there are no options to hide exact filters by choosing the exact filter term in a certain filter.

Best Regards,
Victor

I’ve seen the empty terms option, but my problem is that I need to hide a term from a group when a term from another filter group is selected. According to the documentation, there are pre-filters and post-filters hooks. If I use it by modifying the filter object, could I solve this problem?

My problem, as I mentioned, is that when I select a city filter, the “in-person” option from the mode filter group shouldn’t be displayed. And conversely, if I select the online mode filter, the city filter group shouldn’t be visible.

I’m not sure if I explained myself correctly

Thanks in advance.

Please send the link to the exact page with this issue, and instructions on how we can recreate it, so we can check it and test it.

Do you need access to wordpress?

The first thing you need to do is display all of the products on those pages, rather than hiding them and having them appear only when filtering. This way, you can see what type of posts are displayed there by default, and only then test the filtering.

So far, it looks like all the products are displayed on the pages, they’re just not visible due to the hiding functionality. And when resetting the filters they are just all visible.

Best Regards,
Victor

But is not products, it is pages. And all I want is not to have all the pages appear. Because som pages are in Norwegian and some in English. So far I working except when I use reset or older entries. Do we have to buy a language program or is there a solution we can use in the filter search? Like not use reset or older entries?

We changed your CSS to the display block that includes all of your pages: https://prnt.sc/xi2w7RzSB08j and it shows all your pages in all languages. Just simply hidden by CSS.

If you don’t want posts/pages in other languages to appear there, you need to remove them from the query or use another approach. This is not related to the plugin’s functionality, it’s related to your page template, WP_Query template, or page builder templates, depending on which approach you are using.

Regarding multilingual plugins, we’re not sure what your end goal is. If you can provide more details about what you’re trying to achieve, we’ll be able to give you more specific and helpful information.

For example, if you want some type of multilanguage website in multiple languages then yes, you need a plugin like WPML to handle it all.

Best Regards,
Victor

What we want is to have is two pages that have a filter search on them. Norwegian: https://usnlearninglibrary.no/sok-og-finn/ English: https://usnlearninglibrary.no/search-and-find/

What that If you press reset or one of the chips, only English or Norwegian pages should be displayed. I have created all pages with a slug that ends with -en (English) or -no (Norwegian)

CPT UI Norwegian pages: Ressurstype Tema Språk

English pages Resource type Topic Language

Problem: I wanted to have reset buttons, but removed them so that English pages would not show on the Norwegian page. But now I see that if I press one of the chips. All the pages get visible, but not all the tekst is showing?

Solution: If the solution is to have all pages displayed, can it only be Norwegian or English?

ANOTHER QUESTION. Is it possible to have a separate regular search field at the top of the page on all pages, where I can search only specific pages?

Do you need access to my wordpress?

Hi marifkarlsen

If this is all that you did: “I have created all pages with a slug that ends with -en (English) or -no (Norwegian)” without an actual multilingual plugin for translation like WPML, just manually adding “en” won’t affect anything.

The issue in your case is that both pages:

Displaying exactly the same pages. The filter is filtering what is displayed on those pages. So if page-1 has 10 pages displayed, and page-2 has the same 10 pages displayed the filters will be the same and will display the same pages. So if you want to simulate translation on two different pages, then just display on one page only en-pages, and on another only no-pages.

The search filter is the same as any other filter, so it will work only on the applied page in the “Where to filter” It will not work like a global search on the site.

Best Regards,
Victor

-en and -no is only to have an overview of what pages is Norwegian and English for us self.

This pages are two pages with two different filter. On page with filter in Norwegian and on in English. The filter work to search in only Norwegian and English because of the Tax in CPT UI. What I am trying to do is, when is press reset og a chip not to have all pages to apper.

I remove reset button, even that it would have been great to have. But now if I press on of the chips, more than the page are appearing?? There are first result, but then there are a list of other pages that apper under?

So basically, you just want to hide all the pages again, restoring them to their initial state when the page first loads?

If this is the case, please check this page: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-instructions-only/#ajax_related_problems

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor. Thanks for being so patient with me.

The problem is that sometimes all pages come up when I press reset button. That’s why I removed it.

Then I discovered that if I pressed reset in Chips, I had the same problem, all pages came up. Both Norwegian and English. That’s why I removed this button too. Then a new problem came, and that was when I pressed the first chip button, all pages came up. So I think the first button in chips became a reset button. I have inserted both reset button again.

What I really hope to achieve is to be able to press reset and no pages will show. I was a little confused by the link you sent, can you help me?

Hi marifkarlsen

To explain what’s going on: you have a JS code that applies display: none to the page container when filtering or resetting filters, that JS code does not fire again to apply the display: none when needed.

You’ll need to re-trigger that JS logic so it runs again when no filters are selected.

You can refer to this page for functions that help detect whether the page is filtered: http://filtereverything.pro/resources/functions/

At the bottom of the article, there’s a function that returns a boolean value indicating whether the page is filtered or not. However, the custom JS code to handle this will need to be written on your own.

Best Regards,
Victor

What I don’t understand. Filter works outside reset, which I’m trying to figure out, but haven’t solved get.

My question now: After a search, the chips appears. I press the chip first chip button (button next to “reset all”). Then all pages come up? Why does not this button search the topic on the button?

Hope we can solve this and problem with reset all before next week, when this website is on a deadline.

What I don’t understand. Filter works outside reset, which I’m trying to figure out, but haven’t solved yet.

We have a couple of questions:

1) Do you know why pages are hidden on those pages before filtering?

2) Did you add that “hiding pages” functionality on your own or via any settings?

3) Do you know why during filtering pages are displayed on the page?

4) Did you add any specific functionality to check if the page is filtered then pages should be displayed, and if not filtered then it should hide pages?

5) Do you have no idea why pages are appearing during filtering or you assume it’s a feature of our plugin to make them appear?

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi I got it to work. Thank you for all your help.

You did a great job!

If you want, you can share your solution with others, so if there are other users with the same custom functionality, to hide posts by default and display them only during filtering, then hide them again when no filtering is applied, it could be helpful for them.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hei Victor.

I have a new problem to solve, but first this is how I solved what I had as a problem with at first

FIRST PROBLEM AND SOLUTION NR. 1: I did not want any pages to show until I use the filter. I type this code in Divi Theme Options (CSS):

.fe-cont-for-pages-ajax { display: none; }

.fe-cont-for-pages-ajax.filtered { display: block; }

FIRST PROBLEM AND SOLUTION NR. 2: I had problems with that all the pages showed when I press reset buttons. I wanted the search/result container to be blank when I press reset. This is how I solved it. I type this code in Divi – integration:

<script> document.addEventListener(‘click’, function (e) { const isResetAll = e.target.closest(’.wpc-chip-reset-all’); const isResetButton = e.target.closest(’.wpc-filters-reset-button’); ... if (isResetAll || isResetButton) { shouldForceHide = true; } }); </script>

NEW PROBLEM NR 1: I have problem with the chips button don’t respond like they should

NEW PROBLEM NR 2: The chips don’t show on mobil, it is on in widget.

This is JS: <script> document.addEventListener(‘DOMContentLoaded’, function () { const container = document.querySelector(’.fe-cont-for-pages-ajax’); if (!container) return; }); </script>

let shouldForceHide = true;

function updateVisibility() {
  const hasResults = container.querySelector('.et_pb_post');
}

if (shouldForceHide) {
  container.classList.remove('filtered');
} else if (hasResults) {
  container.classList.add('filtered');
} else {
  container.classList.remove('filtered');
}

shouldForceHide = false;

//  Korrigert click-handler
document.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
  const isResetAll = e.target.closest('.wpc-chip-reset-all');
  const isResetButton = e.target.closest('.wpc-filters-reset-button');
  const isChip = e.target.closest('.wpc-filter-chip');
});

if (isResetAll || isResetButton) {
  shouldForceHide = true;
} else if (isChip) {
  shouldForceHide = false;
}

document.addEventListener('flrt:updated', function () {
  setTimeout(updateVisibility, 50);
});

const observer = new MutationObserver(updateVisibility);
observer.observe(container, { childList: true, subtree: true });

updateVisibility();

What am I doing wrong? I know you send me links on Ajax an I try to put code in PHP plug-in “snipper”. like this:

add_filter(‘wpc_theme_dependencies’, function($deps){ $deps[‘divi’] = [ ‘posts_container’ => ’.fe-cont-for-pages-ajax’, ‘chips_hook’ => [‘after_flrt_posts’] ]; return $deps; });

Please help me

Could you share a quick video showing the issue, along with the link to the page on your site where we can check it? It’s a bit confusing to understand what’s wrong without a visual representation.

Best Regards,
Victor

Yes of course I can, where do I send the video? Do you need access to my Wordpress to?

I put some pages in privat, so other people can’t see the website before it is ready, but I can publish it so you can see the problems.

Hi marifkarlsen

You can send all of the private information via email here: filtereverythingsprt@gmail.com

Hi scandesigns

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Are you creating those custom taxonomies manually, or are you using a plugin to create them? If you’re using a plugin, could you let us know which one? Otherwise, please share how you’re adding them, whether through code in your theme or another method.

Best Regards,
Victor

I actually tried both methods:

Via Products → Attributes – I used this to create custom attributes like color and size.

Plugin: CPT UI – I saw some of your replies recommending Custom Post Type UI, so I gave it a try, but unfortunately, it didn’t solve the issue I was facing.

Let me know if there’s another method you’d recommend.
