We are using Filter Everything Pro on our website to filter clinic listings by location using an ACF custom field.

The filtering works fine, but the location dropdown does not update dynamically after the first filter selection. Even when a different location is selected, the dropdown still displays the initial selection. The filtering results change correctly, but the dropdown remains stuck.

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

Before that, please add some products or terms (as you did previously), and send us a link to the page where those items are not displaying correctly. Make sure to provide exact information about which filter term is showing the wrong counter, so we can test it and try to identify the issue.

Best Regards,
Victor

Thank you for your support. I’ve identified the issue, the filters were not updating because of cached data. I followed the documentation and added the parameter ?reset_filters_cache=true to the site URL, and after resetting the cache, the newly added clinics appeared correctly in the filter.

Everything seems to be working fine now. Thanks again for your guidance and quick responses!

Hello,

I’m using Filter Everything PRO on my WooCommerce website built with Divi Builder. I have created a filter set for products and inserted it into the page using the shortcode.

All products have attributes and terms assigned, but the filters display “0” items for every term, and nothing gets filtered.

In the filter set configuration:

The post type is correctly set to Products The “Where to filter” is set to “All archive pages for this post type” But in the “And what to filter?” (WP_Query) dropdown, no queries are available to select Is there a known compatibility issue with Divi’s Product modules? How can I get the filters to detect and work with the products displayed on the page?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Hi,

I’ve spent several days trying to find the right WooCommerce filter plugin, which honestly cost me quite a bit of time, nerves and money. I was relieved when I finally found Filter Everything, which seems to fit quite well overall.

Now I hope you can help me with a few open questions, especially one that concerns me from an SEO perspective:

1. URL structure and category linking

I noticed that each filter requires a prefix, which leads to URLs like this when a category is accessed through a filter: `https://url.com/women/*prefix*-clothes/` But the clean category URL would actually be: `https://url.com/women/clothes/`

This causes two problems:

  • The original category URL can no longer be accessed directly or linked properly.
  • On the filtered URL, the actual category content like the description is not shown anymore, only the generic content from the top-level category appears.

My question: Is there a way to fix this? Ideally so that the clean category URL is preserved and not changed by the prefix? Or am I missing something here? Also, if those original category URLs are no longer linked anywhere internally, is the content like the category description still relevant for SEO?

I’d really appreciate some clarity here.

2. Color filter – custom codes and images

Is there an option to manually define color codes for the color filter? And is it possible to use custom images for specific color options, for example for something like “Multicolor”?

3. Default selection of top-level category

I’ve noticed that the top-level category, for example “Women”, is always selected by default, even when I click on “Men” instead. The “Women” category stays highlighted in grey. Can this behavior be changed?

4. Performance for large shops

How well does the plugin perform with larger product volumes? We are planning to run a shop with over 10,000 products. Is Filter Everything suitable for that kind of scale?

I’ll also take a closer look at the documentation soon, but these are the most important questions I have right now. I’d really appreciate any help or input.

Best regards

FE_support Author Team

Hi iskomene

We are sorry to hear that. Actually, you can create SEO Rules to index the filtered pages, so it will direct users to the required page with the chosen filter. For example: site.url/product-category/smartphones/filter_color-silver/filter_ram-64gb/... For more information about it you can check this page: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/seo-rules/

In general, a refund is possible by submitting a form through the account where the plugin was purchased and waiting for a response. Please note that the support team does not handle refunds. Furthermore, we have no control over the refund team and cannot speed up the process or influence it in any way.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor,

Thanks again for all your effort and the detailed explanations.

Unfortunately, it still wouldn’t have been quite the right fit.

I’ve already submitted a request via CodeCanyon, so I’ll just wait and see.

Thanks again!

FE_support Author Team

Hi iskomene

In that case, you need to wait for a response from the refund team. It usually takes up to two weeks.

Hello,

I’m currently trying to add filters to the default tag taxonomy in Wordpress, but I run into the problem that the dropdown under And what to filter? remains empty while there are posts to filter.

I also have filters on custom taxonomies from pods. There everything works well. Any help resolving this would be appreciated.

Can I hide the title when there are no options in the selections? I have some custom meta_keys that are only used with different categories of items. If the top level category is not selected, I want to hide the filters that aren’t applicable.

FE_support Author Team

Hi mtisolutions

Generally, there are two options: “Hide empty terms” and “Hide empty filters.” The first option hides only individual filter terms with a counter of 0, while the second option hides the entire filter when all of its terms have a count of 0.

Screen of options in a Filter Set: https://prnt.sc/o2fr69sEV8Ay

I need to filter a set of posts by “Category”... but I need the top level category to be in one section and the 3 sub-levels of the hierarchy (category) in the next sections rather than an expandable/foldable option.

I need this because I can only allow 1 selection (radio button) at the top/highest level in the hierarchy, but I need to allow multiple (checkboxes) for each lower level.

Is this possible?

FE_support Author Team

Hi mtisolutions

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

This is not possible at the moment. All you can do right now is use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/ to create additional custom taxonomies for your posts, and then assign the required terms to each of them. This way, you can create a separate filter set for each taxonomy.

Currently, you are limited to only one filter per entity, so you cannot create two or more filters from the same taxonomy named “Category.”

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi – thank you for the reply, sorry for the delay… I did not get notification that there was a reply. Unfortunately, this is not going to be a good fit for me.

My filter needs to be able to filter by a hierarchy at a mid level and to allow nested filters on the same page. Unfortunately, I can’t repurpose a whole db/system to work around this using that plugin.

This seems to allow a custom parameter/name to be used in the query URL – could you not link 2 names to the same meta_key in the backend to build the query?

If not, is it possible to request a refund for this? I was unable to see this limitation in the trial version, but this does not seem to be a good fit for me.

FE_support Author Team

Hi mtisolutions

One thing you can try is using template overriding: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/templates-overriding/ to create the required templates and include your modified functions there to handle the hierarchy filters as needed.

The support team is not working with the refunds. But to be honest, this does not fall under the refund policy, as this functionality is not described anywhere as something that can be achieved. So, there’s very little chance it would be covered under CodeCanyon’s refund policies.

However, you can describe the functionality in detail and provide some references to how it should work on the front end. This way, we can pass the information along with the references to our development team, so they can consider including it in future updates.

Victor

Hi, I’m trying to properly configure the Filter Everything Pro plugin, but I’m encountering an issue on the front end. The message shown is:

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

Here’s a screenshot of my current Filter Set configuration: https://jmp.sh/kbZ2ykIC

My goal is to filter posts displayed using an Elementor Loop Grid on a specific page. Could you advise if I’m missing a step in the configuration or if there’s something specific I need to adjust to make it work with the Elementor Loop Grid?

Thanks in advance!

Done, PM sent!

FE_support Author Team

All Done!

A couple of issues:

1) Filter Prefixes (they were repetitive and broken). So we deleted two filters, created them from scratch, and added meaningful, unique prefixes to the filters.

2) The only issue with the AJAX settings was that you didn’t add a dot or a hashtag before the name of your class or ID. The dot is for classes, and the hashtag is for IDs.

3) We added a small CSS snippet in Filters > Settings > Experimental > Custom CSS to make the chips display nicely in a horizontal layout.

Victor

Hi

i dont know what it is but i am limited to add filters to a set. And when do the values allready been filled in but cant change it. Cache in wp self? or bug?

FE_support Author Team

Hi erkankerem

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

If you are referring to creating multiple filters from the same entity like “Product Category” or “Tag,” this is not possible. You can create only one filter per entity. For example, if you’re using WooCommerce, you need to create separate attributes and apply them to your products, such as Color, Size, etc. Then, create a filter for the Color attribute, another for the Size attribute, and so on.

If you’re using filters for your own CPT (Custom Post Type), you can use this plugin to add the required number of separate custom taxonomies to your CPT to create individual filters from them: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/

Victor

Hello I have added filtereverything pro to category pages. Filter just works great on filtering but SEO rules does not fire. How can I achieve seoı filter to be applied on category that includes filtering?

Lets say I have a category named mycategory in which the filterset is applied. Along with that I have sub filters as filter1 and filter2 for the same filter set.

For example; If I set seo rule to be applied to any category and any filter1, SEO rule doesnt fire up.

What Sould I do to make category pages work with the SEO Rules? Thank you.

FE_support Author Team

No, our plugin only index/noindex the filtered pages, not the physical category pages. You cannot have both indexed filters from the “Category” taxonomy and apply SEO rules to the actual category pages with category filters at the same time.

Best Regards,
Victor

Can I have all possible combinations of seo rules for different taxonomies? I dont want to create them by hand. A code to add SEO rules by php code would be very usefull to me. I will only change some part of it to fit my description and title needs.

FE_support Author Team

Hi erburaktr

Creating SEO rules is a manual process, so there is no automated code. If such a code existed, it would likely create many incorrect rules, as this is a complex process to fully control.

Hello. We have created a product gallery filtered by parent and child categories. You can view it at this link: https://limousin.eus/website2025/soluciones-packaging/

Everything is working correctly, but we need the child category to have a margin to the left compared to the parent category to improve the hierarchy of categories and improve the visual usability of the filters.

I am attaching an interface design to better explain our need at this link: https://files.fm/u/8pdas4jpba

How can we do this?

Thank you.

OK, now I can see the filter.

But I’d like to fix a small display issue on the home page:

Every time I select a category, the entire page reloads and returns to the top of the page. It doesn’t stay in the filter section.

Can this issue be fixed?

Thank you.

FE_support Author Team

Please check this page on how to use AJAX filtering: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-instructions-only/

Make sure to go through it thoroughly without rushing or skipping any parts, as that often leads to incorrect behavior.

OK thanks.

Hi There

I hope all is well.

Our purchase code is ebd5eb1b-56c2-4efa-b010-3d40790f3eec

And when we try to activate the licence on our website, it says that we have used the licence on 2 websites, but as far as we know, we only have it activated on a single website www.torchsa.com

Let me know if you need the activation code please.

Is there any way you can check this for us so we can remove the duplication?

We do have our website setup on a WordPress Network website, but only one website is active, the main website www.torchsa.com

Please let me know once done on this thread :)

Hi,

I’ve installed and setup the plugin. After a couple of days the site started to get very slow and eventually went down.

I’ve investigated and apparently the plugin it’s creating a sleepy query, that max out the cpu of the server, and then crash it.

We had to restrat the SQL service and decided to deactivated the plugin. It has been about 2 weeks with no issue since we’ve deactivated the plugin.

Any ideea what’s causing the sleepy query and how can we fix it, so we can be able to use the plugin?

We are on a dedicated server, so server it’s pretty powerful.

Thanks, Marius D.

FE_support Author Team

Hi Marius 

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Most likely, crawlers are continuously crawling the filtered pages, causing the high CPU spike. 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 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 crawlers which URLs to avoid. You can also contact your hosting support so they can check if there are any specific crawlers causing this issue.

Hello, I have purchased several licenses for your plugin. For one of them I want to make a numeric range for an attribute that has only numeric values. How can this be done? I see that a numeric range is successfully used for price. My attribute has values 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50.

Hello. Is the filter plugin compatible with the Enfold website builder? Thanks.

FE_support Author Team

Hi aintzerga

Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.

In general, all page builders are compatible with our plugin. However, the page builder should have at least one widget that displays the posts (that you want to filter) using the default WP_Query in order for filtering to work.

Victor

Hi there, I just realized that filter everything is displaying intermittently: https://rossatistore.uy/tienda/#

I used to have the filter by category and size on the product archive page, and now it is no longer showing. I tried deactivating the last plugin I downloaded, but it still doesn’t work. The plugin was WooCommerce – Dynamic Pricing with Discount Rules | Acowebs.

I tried adding the filter again, and it was active for some minutes; however, how can I hide the total count of each category/size? Thanks!

If you could help me quickly, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi,

I want to use term’s Description field to redefine the display order in the filter widget in the wpc_terms_before_display hook. How to get term’s description string value?

Thank you,

Leo

FE_support Author Team

You don’t have to modify the slugs; just gather all of your terms as an array, set the desired order, and return that data in the same order using the hook.

Just like in this example: https://codecanyon.net/comments/30849424

Hi Victor,

I do not want to separate terms which are defined in the admin interface from the sorting order by defining the order in a PHP function. I am not the only admin for the website, other admins do not have programming skills.

Thanks,

Leo

FE_support Author Team

Theoretically, you can create a must-use plugin that provides a UI in the admin dashboard with the ability to customize the sorting for certain entities. However, this requires extra effort. At the moment, there are no other options, only PHP code to sort them in a manual order.

Maybe in future updates, there will be built-in functionality to sort them manually in some way.

Hi there, I purchased Filter Everything and am trying to connect the Taxonomy Filter widget to a WooCommerce product grid built using BR Product Grid (from the BravisThemes “Kimono” theme) inside Elementor.

However, the dropdown labeled “Select a widget” always shows “Choose a Loop Grid to view the Taxonomy Filter”, and no grid is selectable — even though the BR Product Grid is present on the page, visible, and placed directly below the filter.

All product attributes are public and set as taxonomies. I’ve disabled caching and confirmed the page is fully live.

Is the BR Product Grid compatible with your filter widget? If not, can you recommend an Elementor-compatible grid widget that will work for attribute-based filtering?

Appreciate your help — thanks.

Hi Filter Everything Support,

We urgently need help resolving a critical issue: the Filter Everything widget is not showing in our Elementor editor panel, making it impossible to apply filters to our WooCommerce product archive layout.

We’ve created an admin account for you:

Login URL: https://reeflighting.cordisco.com/wp-admin

Username: filtereverything

Password: (sent automatically to your support@filtereverything.pro email)

To assist, please view and edit this live test page: https://reeflighting.cordisco.com/home-7-15-25_b-up/

We’re significantly behind schedule and cannot proceed without resolution today. Your urgent help is appreciated.

Thank you, ~ Ryke

FE_support Author Team

Hi Ryke

1) First things first, when we’re asking for credentials and attaching the document with the guide, please follow the exact guidelines. We had to recover the password for your site manually, because there was no “automatically sent password” to our email. All credentials should be sent via PM, not in the comments section: https://prnt.sc/ojdTo3oBxYIR

2) We created two filter sets: one placed on the page you sent the link for, and the second one on the homepage. Please check them both, especially the classes we used for AJAX in the Filter Set settings (HTML class or ID…).

3) You can find our widget in the WordPress area in Elementor: https://prnt.sc/fTdsPUSkNpGC the search won’t find it.

Please carefully review everything before making any changes so you can create and place your filter sets on the required pages.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hello, most of the filters some days filter correctly and other days not. Many time I pick on the filter section the brand Adidas and the Collection Samba (product collection of adidas). Instead of showing only Adidas Samba sneakers, it shows all the available adidas product. After some reaserch with chat gpt, I found out the probable is the AND/OR relation that causes that issue. And I pretty sure that the last time I checked, on the filter sets, there was the AND/OR option but now I cannot find it. Could you please explain how can I find them? Thank you in advance!

FE_support Author Team

Hi koukstoreofficial

If you are referring to the OR/AND logic, you can go to the filter set, navigate to the required filter, click on “More options,” and there you will find the OR/AND logic setting.

Victor
