Dear,
We have 1 license of Filter Everything Pro working on the production website. We recently created a staging environment which caused the plugin to lock out.
Can we add the same license to our staging domain? (which is a subdomain to the main website domain)
Thank you
Hi henrykozhaya
One license can be activated on two sites. If you’re seeing a message on the second site saying it’s already activated on two sites, you can send us the license key you’re using via PM: https://codecanyon.net/user/fe_support so we can deactivate it across all installations.

Victor
Hi Filter Everything Team,
I’m using Filter Everything Pro together with the Salient Theme and WPBakery and I’m trying to manually sort the terms of a custom taxonomy.
Here’s my setup:- I have a taxonomy with three parent terms: WANDERUNGEN, OUTDOOR AKTIVITÄTEN, and INDOOR AKTIVITÄTEN, each with multiple child terms.
- I’m using the Category Order and Taxonomy Terms Order plugin to manually set the order of the terms.
- In the Filter Everything widget settings, I’ve tried different options under “Sort terms by,” especially “Term ID” and “Default,” but the terms are not displaying in the custom order on the frontend.
- I’ve also ensured the filter is set to the correct taxonomy (“was”).
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
Best regards, Lukas
Hi Lukas
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
In order to create a manual sorting, you can use the hook “wpc_terms_before_display” For more information, please check this page: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/hooks/#terms-before-display-hook

Hello, thank you for your help. Unfortunately, I can’t get the script to work. I created a number field using ACF, which the filter is supposed to use, but it doesn’t seem to work properly.
Could you please take a look at it? Here is the relevant page: https://test.outdoorkiddy.it/ausflugsplaner/ The issue concerns the filter with ID 755 (“WAS”), which contains 3 parent categories, and each of those has child categories as well.
Thank you very much, Lukas
Hi Lukas
https://codecanyon.net/comments/30849424All we can recommend is to check this comment with the example of the code, so you can modify it for your own case.

Hello,
Does the plugin generate hooks, or is there any method available that allows limiting the cache generation for all filter combinations on the site? Plugins like WP Rocket and FlyingPress build the cache endlessly if the store has several attributes that allow product filtering. This results in a huge number of cached pages for every possible filter combination. It would be very useful to have a way to restrict cache building for each filter combination, rather than generating cache for every possible option.
Is there a recommended way to address this, or do you plan to add such functionality?
I am using the Freelancer License.
Thank you!
Hi slkaz
If a caching plugin is being used on the site, it should provide tools or configuration options to manage what gets cached and what doesn’t. It’s expected that a caching solution should allow you to exclude dynamic pages, like filtered URLs, from being cached, especially when dealing with filters that can create a large number of URL variations. This is a limitation on the caching side.
Can you please provide some information on what can be done on our plugin’s side to influence the behavior of caching plugins? We’d like to pass it to the development team for review.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor,
Thank you for your quick reply!
I understand that most caching plugins offer tools for excluding specific pages or patterns from cache, but in practice, they usually rely on the URL structure and are not aware of the dynamic nature of filter queries used on shop/category pages. As a result, sites using extensive filtering (with multiple product attributes) can quickly generate thousands of unique filtered URLs, each cached separately, leading to excessive server load and storage use.
While this issue is primarily related to how caching plugins operate, your plugin stands out by enabling advanced filtering and generating dynamic pages that are difficult for caching plugins to distinguish from static content.
From a developer perspective, it would be extremely useful if your plugin provided dedicated hooks, filters, or even a specific marker (such as a unique body class, meta tag, or HTTP header) whenever a filtered page is rendered. This would allow caching plugins and custom code to easily identify these dynamic filter pages and adjust cache behavior accordingly (e.g., by skipping cache for those requests).
Having a standardized method to flag or hook into filtered pages would:
Help plugin and theme developers implement more robust cache exclusions,
Allow store owners to optimize caching strategies for performance,
Reduce the risk of unnecessary cache bloat.
Is this something you could consider for future development? If you need concrete examples of hooks or markers that could be useful, I’d be happy to provide further details.
Best regards, Sławek
Hi Sławek
So, at the moment, we have this function:
/** * @return bool true if it is a filtered page and false if not */ flrt_is_filter_request();
Which will return true or false based on whether this is a filtered page.

Victor
Hi!
On a website I built for a client, I am using Oxygen Builder for the frontend and ACF.
I am using the Filter Everything Pro version.
My client needs the possibility to choose in backend which posts to be displayed in frontend. For this reason, I used ACF taxonomy field (as I have several Custom Post Types).
I can display the posts correctly, and the filter also seems to be displayed correctly.
However, if my client creates a new page, chose a new Taxonomy and saves the changes, the new page shows the filter from the page previously created.
The only “solution” I found is to go into the Filter set I create (that is actually applied to all pages) and re-save it. Only then the filter updates (but it takes a moment).
Is there a way to avoid it?
I really don’t want to give my client the rights to access FE.
Many thanks in advance!
PS: I am not using any caching plugins right now. I also tried activating one but it did not solve the issue.
Hi Stadtluft1
Most likely, this is happening because those changes are modifying the query. You need to click the Update button in the filter set to regenerate its hash, so it can work properly with the modified query and reflect the new values.
Also, you can try going to the page with the incorrect data and add the following GET parameter to the URL: ?reset_filters_cache=true This may clear the transient cache and display the updated data.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor many thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately, the GET parameter did not work.
I was thinking to create a button in backend (under the ACF field) that redirects editor to that filter set and manually update it. But as far I know, editors cannot edit the filter sets right? Is there a workaround?
Nothing that we know could help here. You need to go to the filter set and hit the update button.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor, yeah this is what I will tell my client. But does he need to be an Admin to access FE pro right? I cannot give Editors the right to Update the Filter Sets, right?
I mean without external plugins …
There is the next hook that can be used to allow it for other user roles:
function flrt_plugin_user_caps(){
return apply_filters( 'wpc_plugin_user_caps', 'manage_options' );
}
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor, great … thanks!
Hi Victor,
In one of my emails, I mentioned that the site has four pages. I want to use the filter on all pages, not only the shop pages. Please check on all pages. The filter must work on desktop and mobile devices.
Regards
Mir
Hi Mir
You need to create a separate filter set for each page and assign the filter to the exact page by selecting “Pages + [name of the page]” in the “Where to filter” section. Alternatively, you can send us the links to those exact pages, and we can set up a working example for you on them.
There is no such option as “Filters on all pages,” that’s not a valid setting. Placing filters on pages like Checkout, About, etc., has no actual purpose, as those pages do not contain any posts or products to be filtered.
Please go to the comments section and provide your reply within the same comment thread (not via email or in some other way). This helps avoid creating new separate comments for each response, which can become spammy and confusing, especially without any context or history to track the initial issue. In case this is a comments section: https://codecanyon.net/item/filter-everything-wordpress-woocommerce-filter/31634508/comments

I am not referring to the checkout or about page. I want to add the filter on the Home page and the new arrivals page. On the Desktop, I managed to add the filter, but it was not working. Selecting any filter did not go anywhere, and on mobile, I couldn’t even add the filter. How can I add the filter on the home page and the new arrivals page?
There’s nothing to filter on those pages because you’re using a product slider that doesn’t rely on WP_Query to display posts.
We created a new page named “fe_test_page” and added a new filter set called “fe test” so you can check how we displayed the products there using a query loop. For filtering to work, products on the page must be displayed via WP_Query.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor, I want to show the name of the brands and the name of the country where the brands are from on all pages, even if a page doesn’t showcase any product. Is it possible with the Filter Everything?
Regards
Mir
Hi Mir
Theoretically, you can create enough filter sets to cover each page on your site and use either the filter widget in the widget area (sidebar) or the shortcode [fe_widget] so that the filters are displayed on those pages.
But from a technical perspective, it will be a drain on resources. If the page doesn’t have any posts to filter, it will just be a confusing element that does absolutely nothing.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thanks Victor.
The filter on the new arrival page, pressing the filter button opens the filter window that includes brands and countries, but clicking the filter options, the window disappears. Could you please help resolve the issue? Also, what to filter lists three options: product query 1, product query 2 and product query 3. The product quantity for each brand and country varies depending on the query selected. What can be done to avoid this issue?
Regards
Mir
1) We need a link to the exact page with the issue and a step-by-step instruction on how to recreate it. You can also send the link to the video where you are showing the issue.
2) The “And what to filter” option displays the number of queries on the page for the chosen post type to filter. So, if you have three separate queries on the page, each displaying some products, you can only filter one of them; you cannot filter all at once. This is why, when you choose a different query, it shows different counters. You need to select one, hit the “Update” button, go to the filtered page, refresh it, and try to filter. If the required posts are not being filtered, repeat the process with the second query, and so on.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor,
Here is the new arrival page link.
https://sasty.online/new-arrival/The filter is in the offcanvas area. On mobile devices, clicking the filter button opens the filter window with a transparent background that includes brands and countries, but clicking the filter options, the window disappears. How to resolve this issue?
Regards
Mir
Hi Mir
In the Filters > Settings > Experimental > Custom CSS, we added this small CSS code:
body .wpc-filters-overlay {
z-index: -1;
}
But you only have sliders on the New Arrivals page, so most likely it won’t filter them.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor,
I sent you the details as requested.
Regards
Mir
Hi Mir
We have checked the site, and since you didn’t provide the exact page where you’re trying to make your filters work, we placed the filter set called “Sasty Filters” on the shop page. Everything is working correctly on the ”/discover_sasty/” shop page.
Please check it.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi, I am editing the filter by your plugin. I guess most of things are under my control. but there is one thing that makes me confused.
- “Search Field:Allows you to search by text among filtered posts”
If I check this box, the form to input any text appears. right? But the search result is not the one I was expecting. The result I want has to have the one filtered by based on “post title”, not “post content”. But seems like this filter catches any input keyword from any keyword from the inside entire the post. In this case how can I fix it? Thank you!
Hi vicente_jp

Hi, I have added a few new filter options to my filter as a checkbox option and only the top checkbox can be selected. Like always, not when something else is selected. The old one that I had originally added (fuel tank) as a checkbox still allows me to check either of the boxes. Can you please assist? As far as I can tell everything has been added with the exact same settings as the old one. You can view our filter here: spiradrill.net/products/product-filter/
Hi runriotcreative
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
We have checked the site, and the issue is coming from either the theme or custom CSS styles. If we go here and turn off the float style: https://prnt.sc/V2hOvAFGM2Fu everything is working correctly.

I’m writing to request support for my Filter Everything Pro plugin (latest version). I’m facing difficulties getting the filtering system to work correctly on my site, which uses the Raft block theme (Full Site Editing / FSE environment).
Here’s my setup and the issue:
1. My Setup:
Plugin: Filter Everything Pro (latest version)
WordPress Theme: Raft Theme (FSE / Block Theme)
Multilingual: WPML active (post loops display correct language content).
Content Type: Filtering “Posts” (or my custom post type “Educational Materials”).
Filter Set Config:
Where to filter?: Set to “Pages” & pointing to my custom page, “Educational Materials”.
And what to filter?: Set to “Main Query” (or “Filter Main WP_Query”).
Post Display on Page: Using the native Gutenberg “Query Loop” block (also known as “Post Loops”) to display posts.
2. The Problem: Despite the above, the filtering system is not working.
Posts displayed by the Query Loop block do not react to filter selections.
I’ve thoroughly searched the Gutenberg block inserter (+ icon, search bar) for dedicated “Filter Everything” blocks (e.g., Filter Everything – Filters, Filter Everything – Sorting, or a “Filter Everything – Posts/Query list” block to replace Query Loop). I cannot find any such dedicated blocks.
The only “Filter Everything” element I can add is a widget, which appears only in the footer (due to block theme limitations). This placement prevents functional filtering alongside my Query Loop block.
3. My Questions (for Raft / FSE theme integration): Given the Raft FSE theme and Query Loop block usage:
How should I correctly integrate Filter Everything Pro filters and sorting directly into the content area of my FSE page?
Does Filter Everything Pro offer specific Gutenberg blocks for:
Displaying filter controls (e.g., categories, countries)?
Displaying sorting options?
Crucially, displaying the filtered list of posts itself (as a replacement for the default Query Loop block)?
If dedicated Gutenberg blocks aren’t available for these, are there specific shortcodes (e.g., [fe_filters], [fe_sorting], and a shortcode for the posts list) that I can use within a Shortcode block?
What is the recommended approach or best practice for using Filter Everything Pro with FSE / Block Themes like Raft?

Hi Victor,
Thanks for your response. As mentioned in my first email, the filter is viewable on desktop (however, it doesn’t filter), and I couldn’t make it work on mobile. Spent several hours in the last two weeks. But couldn’t achieve much. Very hard to set up this plugin.

Hi there, I hope you are well.
I am using Filter Everything Pro to set up a Product Categories filter on my site. Is it possible to only show the categories that are children of the current archive? E.g. the current archive is the parent of the category.
Thank you!
Hi louiswebsdale
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
The only option to achieve that is to create a separate filter set for each category page and use the Include/Exclude functionality from the “More Options” section to specify the exact terms you want to appear in the filter.

Hi Filter Everything Team,
I am using Astra Pro theme, Spectra Pro page builder and Filter Everything Pro for a product aggregator platform I am working on now.
I have reviewed the documentation. I managed to get the filter everything work for desktop, but still having difficulty implementing it for mobile devices.
Appreciate support to troubleshoot the following.
1) In mobile view. The filter button appears, but the filter options do not appear when the filter button is pressed. Are the filtering options appearing outside the mobile screen? I selected the pop-up function, and the filter button is placed in the header, which is a sticky header.
2) Is it possible to include the filter everything widget inside the off-canvas for mobile devices? For desktop, off-canvas placement worked.
3) How to fill out as ‘html-id’ at the filter set options, or can we leave this box empty? If the ID is 14545, should I add 14545 or id=’14545’ or #14545?
I have been stuck with this problem for a while now. Once this is resolved, I can open the site to the public. I hope you can help me with this. Thank you very much.
Hi mirubuet
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Please check the next pages:
1) Mobile issues: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/mobile-devices-new-approach/ This page contains all of the mobile pop-up information. Most likely, the widget area is set to display: none on mobile, which is why there are no filters.
2) Yes, it is possible. You can use the shortcode [fe_widget] in the required canvas area. Please note that your template should use only the area with the shortcode, rather than two different ones (one for desktop and another for mobile). And you need to turn off the mobile pop-up widget in the Filters > Settings > General.
3) That option is connected to the AJAX settings. Please check this page: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-instructions-only/
Please let us know if you’ll face any issues with any steps, so we can help you.

I’m unable to save or update. Licence key is blocked for my website. Is it possible to reset the key (remove domains) to enable updates? I think the problem is a local development + online staging site + the live website. The live website won’t update. Did not test the others.

It says: This license key already used for two sites. Maybe its because I first installed it on timtekent.nl and afterwards moved the site to another domain shopmygraphics.nl. My goal is to get it active on www.shopmygraphics.nl. the first site (timtekent.nl) does not have this plugin installed anymore.

Hello. I purchased the Pro version. I want to have two sets of filters on a page. I’ll create a General Filter Set, that should filter all the products, and a Special Filter Set that should appear only for specific categories. I am under the impression that multiple filter sets are possible on a page (I read the documentation for this), but it’s not possible, or I did not set up the filters correctly. Could you please advise on how to set up the filters?
Hi Omni_Tech
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
If you want to display multiple filter sets on one page, you need to use either two shortcodes or two widgets, but not a mix of both.
Ah, one more thing, if you have a general filter set applied to all archive pages, and then place a filter set directly on a specific page, the one on that page will override the general set since it has higher priority. In such cases, it’s better to add a filter set that includes all the filters from the general set as well.

Victor

Hello Victor,
Can we hide filters using custom code when someone is trying crawl search pages /search/?
Hi palivelasrikanth
Can you please provide some additional clarification on what you mean by “hide filters using custom code when someone is trying to crawl search pages /search/”?
We’re not entirely sure how this is supposed to work. If your goal is to hide the filters on that page, all you have to do is avoid applying the filters on the search page.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hello,
I have a problem with the results display, which jumps back to all entries. I have a license for the Pro version, and until recently everything worked perfectly.
Recently, after filtering (regardless of the filter), the search results are displayed briefly and then reset to all default entries. The widget displays the number of search results correctly, and as mentioned, it is displayed briefly after clicking the search button, but then all entries appear again.
No new plugins have been installed, and everything is up to date. Everything was working fine until recently. AJAX is disabled. Disabling the cache (WP Rocket) didn’t solve the problem either. Is it due to a recent update (e.g., WordPress or a plugin)? What could be the cause?
Thank you for any suggestions for a solution. Patrick
Hi Patrick
Please send the link to the exact page where the issue occurs, along with clear instructions on how the issue can be recreated on the site. This will help us check and understand the problem more accurately.
Generally, there is no support for accounts whose support period has expired following the support policy.
We will help you once we have addressed all requests from accounts with valid support periods. Please note that this process may take some time, possibly days or weeks.
If you want to receive it faster, please extend the support period. We will prioritize processing the request for supported accounts.

Hello Victor, Thanks for the quick response. Here’s the link to the filter page: https://www.fairchoice.info/betriebe/ As soon as any filter is selected and the search button is clicked, the search results appear briefly and then the display is reset to all entries. Thanks for your support. Patrick
The theme or some plugin is triggering a second loading of the posts. If you refresh the page, it initially displays the posts, then there’s a blink, and the posts are displayed again.
This behavior is likely caused by some optimization setting, lazy loading, or possibly an infinite scroll/pagination feature that’s trying to load posts intended for the second page.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hello Victor, actually it was lazy loading in the post grid settings. Now it works! Thank you very much. Patrick

Hello, we’ve got a problem with background color – it changed from white/grey to semi-transparent – that makes text in filters very hard to read. We are using Astra pro theme. How can we change it back to whie / grey color? When we started using filter everything the background was white/ grey. It’s on our website www.paniuszczelka.pl
Hi devwp2
So basically, there are two issues here:
1) According to the support policy, there is no support for accounts whose support period has expired.
2) The issue is not related to the plugin, it is related to the pop-up container background color: https://prnt.sc/eVgKyOutwSZ6 If you apply a background color to it, everything should be displayed correctly.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hey there,
we have a problem on this site: https://www.dpsg-muenster.de/methodensammlung/
When we filter and search and there are valid filtered items it works perfectly. But when we search for a unusual string like “sadfhbkqf” there should be no results. Instead of displaying no results or a message “there are no results”, the plugin just uses the query from the filter/search before and stays exactly like that. No message or hint. At least we would like to show a message there. Please help us with this since we can’t find any options for configuring this on our own.
Hi arneleusing
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
It looks like you have a conflict on the site, possibly caused by caching, custom code, a third-party plugin, or the theme.
You can try switching to the default theme, turning off caching/optimization solutions, and disabling all custom code and other plugins.
Then check if everything works as it should. After that, re-enable them one by one to identify which one is causing the issue.
Right now, something is blocking the selection of empty terms, which is not how it should work by default.
Best Regards,
Victor
Also, the AJAX HTML container ID/class setting can cause this issue if the incorrect one is selected. Make sure the value matches the actual container that wraps your filtered content.

Victor
