Hi,
Thanks for your awesome plugin.
I have some issues with a few functions that, once outputted, generate extra <br> tags.
I can see it on the mobile collapse button. eg: `flrt_get_icon_html()` is outputting
<span class=”wpc-icon-html-wrapper”><br> <span class=”wpc-icon-line-1”></span><br> <span class=”wpc-icon-line-2”></span><br> <span class=”wpc-icon-line-3”></span><br> </span>
It is also happening in the search filter chips and the search field.
env: WordPress 6.8.2 – Twenty Twenty Five theme – PHP 8.3
The issue is somewhat known when using shortcodes in the Site editor on a Block Theme: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/56617As Block themes become increasingly dominant, I would highly recommend creating Gutenberg blocks to render the different parts of the template.
Even if those blocks are only used to render PHP/HTML, it would give more control and would help to future-proof your code.
Hi khalays
At the moment, the fastest way is to use filter wrapper classes, such as for a filter button, chips and filters, and make sure all
<br />elements that go under those classes as child elements are set to display: none.
In the future, there may be an update that will add a Gutenberg widget for the filters as well.

My WordPress site: https://www.smartstartal.com/ Says I no longer have an active license for Filter Everything Pro.
When I use the license key for this purchase code it says the following: “The license key already used for two site”
I have two total website on / in Wordpress with this plugin. But they both have their own unique purchase code and license key. So, I’m not really sure what’s causing the issues. I don’t not have this problem / error with the other site. Hopefully you can help sort this out. Thanks.
Please disregard, I figured this out. Thanks.

Hi,
I want to create a SEO rules for multiple category selection. But as I saw SEO rules are only avaliable for one selection. How can I achieve my goal? THank you very much.
they are connected with AND clause.
Hi erburaktr
This is not possible, and it was intentionally designed that way to prevent bad SEO practices. Allowing the creation of an SEO rule from multiple filter terms within the same filter would lead to spammy behavior from a search engine’s perspective, as it would generate URLs like “color-red-and-blue-and-green,” and so on.
Best Regards,
Victor
How can I achieve parent category and child category selection at the same time SEO rules? By default, and condition allows selection both parent and child at the same time which breaks the “any category” seo rule and drops seo to default wordpress page seo.
also I checked the plugin demo. SEO rules are not defined in it. THe page heading is alwasy “shop” for different categories selected.
You can create SEO Rules only for one filter term selected in the filter; it’s not possible to create them for two or more terms selected at the same time. The closest workaround is to add a separate custom taxonomy that simulates child categories, this way, you can create a combination using one taxonomy filter alongside another taxonomy filter.
Best Regards,
Victor
can you give an example for that? thank you.
Hi erburaktr
You can use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/ to add a custom taxonomy to your post type. Simply leave the “parent categories” in the taxonomy you are using now, and add all the required “child categories” in the custom taxonomy. This way, you’ll have two separate filters, which you can use to create SEO Rules ()one temr from parent filter, and one from child filter). Also, in the filters, there is an option in the “More options” section named “parent filter,” which can help display the second filter only if you choose something in the parent filter.

Victor
Hi there, I hope you are well. Is it possible to change the URL prefixes to have ?= at the start?
Thanks, Louis
Hi louiswebsdale
You can use the following code to disable the friendly permalink manager in our plugin:
define( 'FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED', false );
You can use the Code Snippets plugin for this, or place the code directly in the `functions.php` file of your theme.

Hi Victor, thank you very much for the quick response. I have tried this but the following error has come up:
This snippet was automatically deactivated due to an error at 13:58:33 on 2025-07-22 (2 seconds ago).
Error message:

Thank you Victor, I have sent you the login details.
We deactivated the LiteSpeed Cache plugin, as the site was lagging badly with it. We also installed a new Code Snippets plugin and added the code there; now everything is working fine. The Code Snippets plugin that you are using is consistently causing issues for some reason.

Thanks so much Victor, that is looking great!
Hello, I would like to add a filter by price where prices are by different ranges (from 60$, 60-120$, 120$+). How to do that? I am using Filter Everything Pro v1.9.0.

Hello and thank you, in advance, for your help.
I originally purchased Filter Everything Pro about 1 year ago. Also, today I purchased another support license, so I’m hoping you can help me out.
We are using FE Pro to create a variety of filters for filtering products by different attributes/terms. When we originally set this up about 1 year ago, everything was working great. However, the filter COUNTS are no longer accurate.
As an example, you can see in the screenshot linked below, we have a term called “Crypton” and it has been assigned to 36 posts. The back-end shows 36 published posts, and our query on the front-end shows 36 results. The counter, however, consistently shows the wrong number (in this case “32”).
https://sandbox.n-form.com/temp/fep/filter_count_does_not_match01.pngSometimes the counter is off by a few numbers, sometimes it’s off by 40 or 50. We have many filters set up and most of them seem to be showing the wrong count.
I have spent most of the day today trying to troubleshoot this problem, and can’t seem to find the problem. I have cleared the cache, disabled the cache, updated plugins, disabled plugins, deleted filters, created new filters, disabled Ajax, and countless other things.
Do you have any ideas why my counters may be (consistently) returning the wrong count?
I can provide you with access to the site, if you have a method to communicate directly.
Thank you, for your assistance.
Hi miscnform
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?
Also, please provide the exact link to the page with the incorrect counters, and specify which exact filter term is displaying the wrong counter information, so that we can check it right away.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hello Victor! I have just emailed all of the requested info (including credentials). Thanks for your help.
So we checked the page with the issue, and it seems the problem lies somewhere in your custom template for that page.
For example, we installed the Code Snippets plugin and added a snippet to display the posts on the page via shortcode. We then created a new test page /fe_test/ and a new test Filter Set for that page, and the counters are displayed correctly there: https://prnt.sc/vQDvbCadOHQJ
Best Regards,
Victor
Thank you for following up.
As a reminder, our problem is that the counters are not reflecting the correct number of posts with a specific term assigned. The filtering works great, it’s just the counters that are problematic.
Upon further inspection today, this appears to be related to the ‘post__in’ parameter when building our WP_Query. If I remove the ‘post__in’ parameter, the counters work great. If I include an array of IDs via ‘post__in’, the counters are are always incorrect.
You mentioned that my error was related to a “custom template”, but ‘post__in’ is native WordPress query structure.
The counters are always incorrect if we use ‘post__in’ like this:
$posts_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘post_type’ => ‘cpt’, ‘post__in’ => $custom_posts_ids, ‘orderby’ => ‘post__in’ ) );
... but the counters are always correct if we do not use ‘post__in’:
$posts_query = new WP_Query( array( ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘post_type’ => ‘cpt’ ) );
Do you have any suggestions or examples for using ‘post__in’ in WP_Query while using Filter Everything Pro?
Thank you, in advance. Allen
Hi Allen
We have added those parameters as well: https://prnt.sc/r1gg9djNHl4I and the results on the front test page are correct: https://prnt.sc/cFjEcLBv0u5l
So most likely, there is something else causing the issue. The post__in was just a part of it, or it may be using some type of dynamic values that are pulled too late to modify the counters correctly in the filter.
Best Regards,
Victor
I have Filter Everything Pro and was wondering if it is possible to set up the filters so that the main categories are displayed but are not part of the filter selection. Only all the subcategories will have the checkboxes. So for example:
PARENT 1
☐subcategory-1a
☐subcategory-1b
PARENT 2
☐subcategory-2a
PARENT 3
☐subcategory-3a
☐subcategory-3b
☐subcategory-3c
While it is important for the parent to be displayed for all categories, we just want to filter by the subcategories. Please advise!
Hi MayoIntranet

Not out of the box, but you can achieve that by custom coding and template overriding: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/templates-overriding/

Hi kenricstrohm
All done! We just selected the second query in the filter set in the “And what to filter” section and hit the update button. Now it is filtering everything.

Hi Victor,
I have two licences and I know my support has ended but I have a qq please.
On a category page e.g. https://cannabisdealsus.com/product-category/cbd/ if I select a merchant i.e. ” Headshop” then the filter shows products from other categories as well. It also changes the number of products in each category on the “Product Ctagories” module on the sidebar.
Your assistance woulod be much appreciated.
Thanks, Theo
Hi Theo
Yeah, nothing weird about this, actually. What’s weird is how your page is pulling those products. For example, if we add any random GET parameter to the page: https://cannabisdealsus.com/product-category/cbd/?aaaa we’ll see all of the products on the page. So this is the root of the issue.
Best Regards,

Hi guys,
On my site, I’m trying to add the filter for an acf field that is for ‘days’ (days of the week). The filter in the backend of the site is ‘Activities Posts Filter’.
I’ve got the right meta key in place but it’s dishing out an error that says ‘There are no filter terms yet’ even though I have multiple posts that belong to the Activities post type with an assigned ‘day’.
Can you please let me know where I’m going wrong?
Have sent you credentials privately.
Thanks
Hi websiteguyjh
Please send the link to the exact page where you are trying to filter your posts. Please note that the page should display posts, the filter itself doesn’t display posts; it only filters already displayed posts (displayed via WP_Query).
Best Regards,
Victor
The posts are showi.g fine. It’s the filter for this ACF that it showing nil. I think it may be the way I’ve mapped the ACF in the filter settings, even though I’ve selected ‘custom field’ and input the meta key..
Whitespace before the meta_key: https://prnt.sc/-d5tL4hZHmqt we created the same filter below from the same meta key without the whitespace, and everything is working correctly. Please check these things carefully.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor – thanks for you response. You’re right. It’s working fine now. How embarrassing. Thanks again!
I’ve switched to using AJAX and something isn’t right. When I select something for the filter, it seems to work (I see the spinner) but the items on the right never change. Here’s one of the pages that are not working https://knotionscom.bigscoots-staging.com/knotions-back-issues-2/

Using Filter Everything Pro on a website where Divi is the Parent theme and how the product category pages are being run by a Divi Theme Builder template.
Shortcodes, mobile pop-up, and other filter behavior is as expected.
The issue is the Divi Woo Products Module will not update after the filter is applied or the page refreshed with the filtered URL.
I have reviewed all the notes in the documentation and much of the questions and comments, but cannot seem to find and answer.
What other Divi related issues could there be?
Thanks, KS

I am using Oxygen 6, and I don’t see a way to add the widget. Am I missing it?
Hi aparsley
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
You can use the shortcode for filters: [fe_widget]
Please check this page for all available shortcodes: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/
Best Regards,
Victor
Thank you, and that’s what I have been using. Just wasn’t sure if the actual widget provided more options. [fe_sort] doesn’t work though, it says “Wrong Sorting widget id. Please, specify the correct.”
The sorting widget can be created only in the widget area and displayed on the page via a widget or shortcode (once it’s created in the widget area).
If your theme does not have a widget area (in the admin dashboard), you can use this code example, which you can place in a code snippets plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/ in order to add a widget area to your theme:
function custom_theme_widgets_init() {
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Custom Sidebar', 'textdomain' ),
'id' => 'custom-sidebar',
'description' => __( 'Add widgets here.', 'textdomain' ),
'before_widget' => '<section id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</section>',
'before_title' => '<h2 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h2>',
) );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'custom_theme_widgets_init' );
And in this widget area, create a sorting widget with all of the parameters, and then display it on the page with the shortcode.
Best Regards,
Victor
OK thanks, getting closer. Oxy overrides the theme, so I have this code implemented now, and I can see widgets in the admin panel. I’ve created the Sort widget, and am using the [fe_sort] shortcode in Oxy but same message. Not sure where to see the ID?
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 exact page where you are trying to display it.
Best Regards,
Victor
OK, I have just sent it.
The sorting widget is displayed now. Not sure why the ID message doesn’t appear, it could be due to the theme specifications or the page builder. However, we used the second one to make it work. Usually, the IDs go from 1 and up.
Best Regards,
Victor
Excellent, great support!
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.

Message: Hi, I’m using Filter Everything Pro (v1.9.1) with a custom post type for Clinics, which has dynamic ACF fields for cities. The filtering works perfectly, but each time I add new clinics, they don’t appear in the filter results until I delete and recreate the filter set.
Since I plan to add around 1000+ clinic listings, it’s not practical to recreate the filter every time. I noticed that my plugin version doesn’t show the “Rebuild Index” option under Filters → Settings.
Could you please help me:
Enable or access the Rebuild Index feature, or
Suggest an alternative way to automatically refresh the index when new posts are added.
My plugin is already activated with a valid license key. Thanks for your support!
Best regards, grofo team
Hi grofoelements
Have you tried just hitting the “Update” button in the filter set to see if it will update those filters?
Best Regards,
Victor
Yes, I’ve already tried hitting the “Update” button in the filter set several times, but the newly added clinics are still not appearing in the filter options.
The filter only updates when I delete and recreate the entire filter set, which isn’t practical since we plan to add a large number of clinics.
Could you please guide me on how to make the filter index refresh automatically when new posts (clinics) are added? Or is there a manual “Rebuild Index” option that can be enabled in version 1.9.1?
Thank you for your help, grofo team
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.

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
Hi iskomene
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
1) The idea behind filtering is to filter posts on the same page by selecting the desired filter terms. For example, if we are on the shop page and only have category filters, we can choose multiple options like laptops, smartphones, and tablets at the same time and display the relevant posts on the shop page. It will not redirect to a physical category page, as selecting more than one category simultaneously could result in 404 errors. If you want category navigation, you can use the default WooCommerce product category widget. The URL parameters are used solely for filtering on this specific page. So your original physical category pages are still where they were before, unchanged.
2) You can enter your own color code here: https://prnt.sc/AJ-tjxkC6l1x Yes, you can apply your own images for multicolor options. However, please note that you might need to add custom CSS to make the images and color samples look the same. You can add custom CSS in Filters > Settings > Experimental > Custom CSS. Also, here is the page about the color swatches: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/brands-and-color-swatches/
3) It is not physically selected; it is just made to look that way to prevent selecting this category while you are on its physical category page, avoiding duplicates like /cars/filter-cars/. That’s why such options are grayed out and marked as selected, to let you know that you are already on this category’s physical page.
4) Yes, as far as we know from our clients, some said it runs nicely with +20k products. However, it is important to keep in mind that server hardware is the crucial part in such cases. The more products you have, the better server hardware is required to run smoothly.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor,
Thanks a lot for your detailed reply, I now understand how the filtering works.
I just have one more question: Does the default WooCommerce widget work smoothly alongside Filter Everything, or is there anything I should be aware of?
Best regards
Hi iskomene
If you are referring to the filtering widget, technically it should work normally together, but if some slugs are overlapping, it could cause issues. However, the product category widget works without any issues with our plugin.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor,
Thanks for your time and effort. According to Google Gemini, Filter Everything is the best WooCommerce filter plugin ,and I actually agree with that. I mentioned it before: technically, the plugin is great, but unfortunately it doesn’t quite fit our setup.
We rely heavily on SEO and don’t use individual product pages at all, that’s a key part of our strategy. Because of that, the plugin doesn’t fully work for us. Also, switching over to the WooCommerce default filter causes a noticeable UX break.
I’ve submitted a refund request in parallel. Just to explain: we had to purchase another plugin to keep things moving, so we ended up losing some budget in the process.
Could you please check on the refund? I’d really appreciate it if you could take care of it.
Best regards
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!
Hi iskomene
In that case, you need to wait for a response from the refund team. It usually takes up to two weeks.
Best Regards,
Victor
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.

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.
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.
