Hello there

I am experiencing an issue with the Filter Everything plugin. My Pro license is active and I have verified that:

1. Filter Everything PRO is activated under Plugins in my WordPress dashboard 2. The SEO Rules menu is visible in the plugin settings 3. The Filter Set is assigned to Products #2

With Brand and Type everything works as expected. The slug is correct filtering works and the H1 updates.

As soon as I add a third filter Tyre Size the filter itself applies and the slug updates correctly and filtering still works but the H1 tag stops updating and reverts back to the default page title instead of showing the expected result.

Could you please help me troubleshoot why the H1 stops updating once a third filter is added.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Hi beniangel

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Try going to Filters > Settings > Indexing Depth and make sure to set a higher number for the required post type to enable SEO Rules with the longer depth. Let us know if this helps resolve the issue.

Hi!

I’m currently setting up the filter widget on my WordPress website (Elementor + WooCommerce), but unfortunately the filters are not working. even after following all the documentation and trying different troubleshooting steps.

Here’s what I’ve done so far: - I’m displaying WooCommerce products via the standard Elementor WooCommerce widget - I tested on an incognito browser to avoid caching issues - I’ve tried multiple class selectors (.woocommerce, .products, full elementor section IDs): no change

The filter is showing correctly on the frontend, but clicking on any filter doesn’t change the product list (nothing happens).

Do you have any idea what might be going wrong, or could you please point me in the right direction? I’d really appreciate your help!

Thanks so much in advance. Kinds regards, Sharon

Currently, everything is working on the page you sent: https://prnt.sc/ZajP7KJenVgq and filtering works after selecting the correct query.

Here’s how to correctly apply those changes:
1) In the “And what to filter” dropdown, select the first post list.
2) Make sure the counter is enabled so you can see how many posts each filter term should display.
3) Click the Update button and wait until the filter set fully applies the updates.
4) Go to the page with the posts, choose the term with the lowest number (like 1 or even 0), and check if it is working.
5) If it’s not working, refresh the page (just in case).
6) If still not working, go back to the filter set page, choose the second post list, click Update, and again wait for the changes to apply.
7) Return to the post page (where you already selected the filter term), refresh it. When you refresh the page with the selected filter term, you’ll see right away if the filtering is working.
8) Continue this process until you identify the correct post list.

Common issues:
Not waiting for the filter set to apply all changes.
Forgetting to click the Update button.
Not refreshing the filtering page, which is essential to ensure everything updates correctly.

Hi Victor,

Thanks again for checking!

I just tested the filters again — the product categories are working perfectly now, but the brand filter under “Merk” still isn’t affecting the product grid. The filter UI responds, but the product list doesn’t update at all when selecting a brand. Could you try filtering by brand on your end to see if you experience the same issue?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards, Sharon

FE_support Author Team

Just in case, we have changed the filter prefixes to unique values: https://prnt.sc/ukosP0TMBT0W as they could conflict with slugs already created on the site. Everything is working so far with all filters. Also, make sure you have cleared the browser cache and cookies to test everything properly.

H,

What am i doing wrong?

I only can assign the filter to categories and only 1 tag.

Example:

I want to filter categories, and tags but with multiple headings for tags.

As in beauty products:

Category filter tag filter for soap, shampoo, creme etc tag filter for skin type -> dry, extra dry etc. Tag filterfor parfum -> blossom, roses, lavendel etc

I cant get it done

FE_support Author Team

Hi erkankerem

Do you mean that you need the ability to create multiple filters from the same entity? For example, creating several filters from the same taxonomy named category or from the tag taxonomy? If that’s the goal, this is not possible, you can create only one filter from one entity.

However, what you can do is use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/ to add as many custom taxonomies to your post type as needed. This way, you can organize your filtering criteria across different taxonomies and create one filter from each of them.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Thax for your reply,

1 product has different tags example:

Category shampoo

Tags: multiple like skin, type skin, type smell, type…..

I like to add the tags as filter see my filter here but cant achieve put tags in a different filter or as one. See below https://beehonestcosmetics.com/category/producten/ Example https://beehonestcosmetics.com/example/Afbeelding1.png https://beehonestcosmetics.com/example/Afbeelding2.png

FE_support Author Team

Posts, by default, have two taxonomies: one named “Category” and the other named “Tags”. That’s just two taxonomies.

You can create only one filter from a single taxonomy. So, if you create a filter from the taxonomy named “Tags,” you cannot create another one from the same entity. This is why you need to add separate custom taxonomies with the required terms in them.

Victor

Thank you for your quick response.

We’ve identified and fixed the issue on our side, so there’s no need to provide wp-admin access at this time. We truly appreciate your support and assistance.

Please note: The Filter Everything plugin was configured and set up correctly. The issue occurred due to a conflict with another custom filter. The Filter Everything plugin is very useful and supportive, and we’re happy with it.

Thank you once again.

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

FE_support Author Team

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.

FE_support Author Team

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.

FE_support Author Team

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

FE_support Author Team

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.

FE_support Author Team

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.

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?

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, 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.

FE_support Author Team

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.

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.

FE_support Author Team

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.

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?

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?

FE_support Author Team

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.

Victor

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.
