Hi darylwp
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
If you mean changing the default URL structure for category names and similar elements, then yes, it can work, as long as the URL plugin is compatible with the default WordPress functionality.
However, if you want to change the filter URLs, for example, from the default /[filter_prefix]-[term_name]/ like /fe_color-red/, then this is not possible, as it would break the filtering functionality.

Hello,
I would like to know if it’s possible in Filter Everything Pro to display only filtered products via a shortcode.
For example, I want to create a custom landing page where I only show laptops between €500 and €600, without using the sidebar widget.
Is this supported in Filter Everything Pro?
If yes, do you perhaps have a step-by-step guide or example of how to set this up with a shortcode?
If not, do you have any recommendations or best practices to achieve this kind of setup with your plugin (for example alternative methods like pre-saved filter sets or direct integration with a product grid)?
I’ve already tried using the standard WooCommerce shortcode [products category=”laptops” min_price=”500” max_price=”600”], but it doesn’t seem to work.
Any tips or recommendations are highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards, Dave
Hi Dave
No, this is not available with the filters. Even if it were, it wouldn’t be wise to do it from a resource perspective, as it would be too resource-intensive.
What you’re looking for is a custom WP_Query template that will display your products exactly as you’d like, with all the required conditions.
Please check this page for more details: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/Also, a small tip, AI tools like ChatGPT and others can usually generate good code snippets that work. So you can write something like:
Write a PHP code snippet for WordPress using WP_Query that displays WooCommerce products via a custom shortcode. The shortcode should support parameters such as: Pagination (e.g., paged, posts_per_page) Category (product categories) Price range (minimum and maximum prices) Ordering (e.g., by price, date, popularity) Other useful parameters as appropriate

I’m having filters on parent categories like these. https://tinyurl.com/bubxzfz3
In my filter set settings I’ve checked “Hide empty Filters”
Despite that this parent category does only show subcategories, it still shows the filters (and mobile the filter button). What am I missing?
I expect to have no filters available here, just at the subcategories pages.
I used a workaround. No need to fix this.
Hi Outsole
We’ll leave a response just in case other users run into the same issue. Basically, in the background, the same products query is working, but it’s displaying only the category names template. Visually, there are no products shown, but the query itself contains this information on the page, which is why you still see all the products in the filters.
To handle this, you can either use a conditional display of the widget (for example, hide it on specific pages), or simply apply CSS on the required pages to hide the filters using display: none.
However, we’ll also try to check if it’s possible to detect whether the page is actually displaying products or only category names, in order to hide the filters automatically out of the box.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thanks! I’m having a related question here. Is it possible to hide subcategories when you filter? I know they’re part of the loop, but maybe you’ve had this question before and have a simple code already.
Do you mean hiding them from the filters or hiding them from the products displayed on the page?
In general, when selecting a parent category filter, it will include all of its subcategories as well, this is how it works. It’s basically the same behavior you’ll find in WooCommerce: a parent category can have zero products, but if it has subcategories with products, the parent category page will still display all products from those subcategories.
Best Regards,
Victor
I mean when you’re filtering on a page that includes both subcategories and products, it would be nice that as soon as you filter products, the subcategories are hidden. From UX perspective you don’t want to see those subcategories anymore, as you’re looking for specific products.
I’d understand they’re technically still on that page, but it would be nice to be able to hide them as soon as you filter.
Hmm, if we’re not mistaken, there should be a hook in WooCommerce that allows you to hide those elements on the page. You can try to look for that hook, and then write custom functionality using this function:
/** * @return bool true if it is a filtered page and false if not */ flrt_is_filter_request();
Best Regards,
Victor
I’m trying to have it so that when you click a filter, it scrolls to the posts area. i think i have everything set – named the container correctly (tested this by using a bad container name and i get the popup error). i’ve specified the correct selector in both the global settings and the ones just for my filter. i also checked in Dev Tools Console that there’s only 1 selector of that name. But I must be missing something because when i click a filter, it jump to the top of the page.

How do I hide a post in the grid section? I have hidden the category in the sidebar but the posts are still showing in the grid.
Thanks Bertie
Hi Bertie
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
The plugin itself does not apply any modifications to the query that displays the posts before the page is loaded. It will not globally alter which posts are shown on the page without filtering.
If you want to display certain posts by default before any filtering is applied, this should be handled within the posts query template that is responsible for rendering the posts on the page.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi. I just bought this. I’m using it to filter product tags. I have a page setup with products from one category. I have a filter with 6 items. I have it “sort terms by” Default no sorting. But when I click/unclick a filter item, sometimes the list changes order. This happens if I change the sorting to any of the settings. Also when I change to sort abc or cba or 123 or 321, the order does not change to begin with, but will still change order when an item is clicked.
Hi FiberOpticLink
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
The default option should always be specified in the sorting widget. If you replace it with any other option (like sorting by price, etc.), the posts on the page will not be sorted accordingly when the page initially loads. This is because our plugin does not apply any sorting modifications before the page is loaded.
When you select a sorting option, a GET parameter with the selected value is added to the URL. This is the only way to predefine a default sorting option.
To set a specific default sorting, you need to use a direct link to the shop page with the desired sorting parameter included in the URL. That way, when clients open the page, it will already be sorted by the chosen option.

Victor

Hi there, love the plugin. I seem to be encountering a bug in the Dropdown list which I am using as a tag selector. You can see the filter here: https://techjobterms.com/it-dictionary/ When you scroll to Infrastructure – Cloud, the next line shows “0 stars (2), where the actual tag name is Integrated Development Enviroment – IDE. When you select the incorrect tag name, the filter does work and the correct tag name is shown in the chip area. When I use another format, like Radio Buttons, the tag name is correct. So it appears that there is an issue with how the filter list is built here. I really need to use the Dropdown style, as I have more than 150 tags to filter here, and that will grow to ~ 200. Can you please check on this issue?
BTW, when I switch the Dropdown format to the Select2 version, the “0 stars” text goes away and only the topic count for the tag is shown. As mentioned, the correct tag name shows in the other filter options, such as Radio Buttons or Checkboxes. So this appears to be an issue with how the data array for the dropdown is being populated. I thought it was interesting that the name right above this line, namely “Infrastructure – Cloud” previously was called “Infrastructure / Cloud”. To rule out that the / character caused an issue, I changed the / to a dash. However, the dropdown list behavior remains the same, so I do not believe there is a connection between that tag entry and the line for Integrated Development Environment – IDE. To make sure there was no issue with the field length, I also removed the “-IDE” from the tag name. Again, the behavior remains the same with the “0 stars (2)” showing in place of “Integrated Development Environment (2)”. Best I can tell from my end, this is not a data issue, because the other filter formats work as expected, but an array population issue. I have nothing in my data or tags either that have anything “stars” in them. Hope these additional observations will help you!
Hi NetConfig
Is the issue still present on the site? So far, this is what we see in the only dropdown filter: https://prnt.sc/u_-44FX67Wvk
Is this correct, or is it wrong? We’re a bit confused because you didn’t provide any screenshots showing what exactly was wrong or how it should be displayed correctly. That would help us understand what to look for.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor, yes, the issue is there, but it looks like you are in the Infrastructure – Cloud category, which does not contain topics tagged as Integrated Development Environment, so that tag is not in the filter selector. Please just go to the link I provided, which is the main IT Dictionary category that has 227 topics now. Then look at the filter again, and you will see the “0 stars (2)” entry in the filter list, located right below Infrastructure – Cloud. Here is the screenshot: https://prnt.sc/_hbtLTr_S-BH
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it on the site?
Best Regards,

Hi Victor, the steps from the instructions were completed, including the PM.
We’ve checked the site and found that this is a small bug on our side related to the new rating functionality. It is incorrectly detecting the “rated-” part from the word “integrated-”.
As a temporary fix, we’ve updated the slug to “integratedd-” (with an extra “d”), and it’s now working fine.
We’ll forward this to the development team, and a proper fix will be implemented soon. Thank you very much for spotting this!
Best Regards,
Victor
Terrific, glad to help here and thanks for the prompt service. Please also share that the behavior is different for the two types of Dropdown styles, oddly. You would think that the array is populated the same way, but the classic style, like on my site, adds the “0 stars” text whereas the Select2 version has NO text. Also, can I close your admin access now?
The difference between these is due to the Select2 option displaying stars instead of text. That’s why you don’t see anything in this case, because there are no stars to show. The stars should look like this: https://prnt.sc/ZhWKqyQKhTkT
On the other hand, the default dropdown simply displays text data.
Yes, you can go ahead and close the access. You can also safely delete the File Manager plugin we used to check whether there were any modified templates in our plugin. This kind of issue often happens on sites where clients aren’t aware of where the root of the problem is coming from, so it’s good to double-check these things.
Best Regards,
Victor
Got it, and admin access is removed. Thank you for the prompt root cause analysis and workaround. FEP is a fantastic plugin. It does exactly what I want it to do (e.g., flexibly update the filter options when the user moves to another category, working well with paginated content without issues, etc) and integrates beautifully with my builder, which is Yootheme Pro. I hope your business continues to grow with many years of happy Pro users to come!
Hi NetConfig
Many thanks for your supportive words. We truly appreciate it. We’ll make sure to keep moving forward and deliver more functionality and features in future updates.

Hi NetConfig
The development team has created a fix for this issue. If you’d like, you can provide the credentials so we can apply the fix on your site, and you can check if everything is working correctly afterward.

Hi, I am currently using Filter Everything Pro on my WordPress website and I’ve encountered a couple of issues that I hope you can help me resolve:
Category titles styling The category/filter titles are showing inside a black box or border, and I would like to remove this styling so that the titles appear clean without any background or outline. Could you please advise on how to disable or override this default style?
“RESET ALL” button (chip)
At the moment, the “RESET ALL” chip appears in white and is difficult to style. I would like it to appear as a red button with white text (something like #e0002a as the background color).
Additionally, I would like to translate the text from “RESET ALL” to “Réinitialiser”. I have already tried using Loco Translate, but the string does not change, so it seems to be hard-coded or coming from JavaScript. Could you confirm how to properly translate this label?
Could you please let me know if there is a built-in way to adjust these styles and translations, or if I should override them with custom CSS/PHP?
You can see it on my page here : https://espace-m-yoga.ca/les-cours-filtre/
Thank you.
Hi Arianevermeersch
We have directed it to the development team (reset all issue). When we receive any information about it, we’ll let you know right away. It could be a small bug or another issue. In any case, we need to wait for the development team’s response on this matter.
As to the custom styles, you can add them in the filters > settings > experimental > custom CSS. Also, you can check this page for a general approach on how to find the required classes of the elements on the page to style them: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colour-change-to-filter-title/
This approach is general and not limited to our plugin. It’s how you can style any element on your site using custom CSS.
Unfortunately, custom CSS is outside the scope of support policy on CodeCanyon. You can reach out to your site developer to create those styles for you.

Hey, I just bought the “filter everything” module. Where can I find the license key?
Hi Bartek__
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

OK, got it, thanks for the quick reply!
I think of the PRO version, is this a lifetime deal, or returning subscription? Do I need the basic or extended version of Filter Everything? Will it be possible to make the filters visible in my archive pages on the Yuki Theme (WordPress) Each archive page wil get its own set of filters to find articles in this specific archive.
Hi Suus-D
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
The license is a one-time payment for a lifetime, including lifetime updates, and can be activated on two sites, typically a staging site and a live production site. However, if you don’t have a staging site, you can activate it on two production sites.
For a website, you need a regular license. The extended license is intended for implementation in a product that will be sold as a single copy.
Yes, you can create as many filter sets as you need and apply them to specific page, whether singular page or taxonomy page.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hey, i have a shop with over 3K Artikels. Loadtime for category pages is abou 2,5 – 3-5s. Its related to the amount of filters we are using. My idea was to load the filters after the category page has loaded. Is there a way to do so?
Hi KKlos01
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
How many filters do you have? Could you please send the link to the page where the issue occurs so we can check it?
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor here for example https://oerter-buerobedarf.de/versand-praesentation/
This doesn’t appear to be an issue with the filters on the pages; the problem seems to be caused by a strange GET parameter being added to the category pages.
Speed with the parameter: https://prnt.sc/QXB_M3ZFAlE7
Speed without the parameter: https://prnt.sc/t7F4oAX_BNgr
When you click on any category, it redirects to that category page with this GET parameter:
?_gl=1*6xdj87*_up*MQ..*_ga*MzA0NDEwNTUxLjE3NTU3ODIzNjI.*_ga_73F037JP8Y*czE3NTU3ODIzNjIkbzEkZzAkdDE3NTU3ODIzNjIkajYwJGwwJGgw
Best Regards,
Victor
seems to be something related to the google tag manager …
only thing i get better LCP Values is disabling Filter everthing
Now that those parameters are no longer in the URL, the page is loading in under 1 second — as shown here: https://prnt.sc/_5ei_raNwAhD — whereas before it was taking 2–3 seconds. The site itself is quite heavy, so adding more elements naturally increases the load time.
Additionally, you can try enabling OPcache if it’s available on your hosting.

Hello, I use the plugin on my website with approx. 100 URLs. Due to the many filter options, this results in approx. 66,000 URLs! This causes a number of problems. Among other things, preloading via my cache plugin takes an extremely long time. Is there a way to prevent URLs from being generated by the filter, e.g. only with URL parameters?
Hi she4www
You can use this code in the functions.php file or in the code snippet plugin:
define( 'FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED', false );
After that, you need to go to the filter set and hit the update button.
It will turn off the URL permalink manager, so the filtered page would look like ?color=red-or-green instead of /color-red-or-green/
Also, you can configure your caching plugin with wildcards so that it caches pages like site.com/shop/* and everything after /shop should not be cached.
Best Regards,
Victor
That worked. Thank you very much for your quick support! Best regards, Sven
Is it possible to allow multiple selections from a Dropdown box using Ctrl? It seems like it ought to be possible, since the plugin will let users make multiple selections using a Labels list.
Hi dsumner
Unfortunately, there is no dropdown with multiple selections out of the box. You can check this comment thread with a workaround: https://codecanyon.net/comments/31087418

Why i dont see products showing at the attributes? I have the attributes filled on my products but everywhere in the filter i see 0, why is that?

Fusion Builder is most likely using unique queries on each page, so what you need to do is place the filter set on the exact page and select the correct query in the “And what to filter” dropdown.

Hi, i remove my old staging site, and now i’ve created a new one. When I try to enter the plugin’s license, it tells me that the 2 licenses are alread in use. How can I fix that?

Are you using the plugin on a WordPress multisite? Or are you using the free version of the plugin on the site?
Best Regards,
Victor
wordpress multisite, pro version
In that case, you need to activate it only on the main site in order to make it work. On WP multisite setup, the plugin must be installed and activated on the main site; it will then be automatically activated across the rest of the sites.
Best Regards,
Victor
thank you, clear, could you please remind me where to find the license ? I only see the Item Purchase Code. Thanks
It is important to keep in mind that the License key and CodeCanyon purchase code are two different things.
Please use incognito mode in your browser!!!
In order to set the License key for the Filter Everything PRO plugin, simply head to Filters -> Settings -> License and click the “Get your License Key” button.
It will take you to a new page where you have to log in with your Envato credentials (with an account where you have purchased the plugin) and obtain your License key.

Thanks Victor!
Hit there, Filters are working correctly except one problem; The page numbers at the bottom of the filter results on the first page have a narrow, strange font, and there are no dark blocks behind the other page numbers. This is correct on subsequent pages, but not on the first page. How can this be fixed?

Hi Victor, this is the link to the page: https://tankcon.com/our-stock/
This issue is not related to the plugin at all. It is connected to your theme or page builder styles.
Best Regards,
Victor
That’s what I thought too, but if I use the “loadmore” button instead of page numbers, the first filtered page still shows the page numbers, and the “loadMore” button appears on subsequent pages. However, this button doesn’t work; the filtered results aren’t expanded to show more products.
Try to turn off our plugin from the Plugins section in the WP-Admin dashboard, and then check the page with the pagination.

Hello,
I was building my website in a local server (XAMPP) and activated my Filter Everything Pro license there. Later, I accidentally duplicated a filter which caused an error, so I decided to restart the project from scratch.
The problem is that now, when I try to activate my license on the new installation, I get the message that it is already in use on another site. However, that previous local project no longer exists and has already been removed.
Could you please help me reset or release my license so I can activate it again on my current installation?
Thank you very much in advance for your support.
Hi jdavelouis
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Please send the license key (the one you used to activate the plugin) via PM: https://codecanyon.net/user/fe_support
