Can we filter posts by category and sub category? I’m using custom field and pulling off of parent filter but can not get the sub category to display

FE_support Author Team

Hi freshfitz 

Do you mean creating two filters, one showing only parent categories and the other showing only subcategories? If that’s the case, this is not possible yet.

Best Regards,
Victor

We want to click the parent category then show the sub categories, just like this https://www.hitt.com/projects/

FE_support Author Team

On the page, we can see only this: https://prnt.sc/DyBbpf6rw-HU it looks like three separate filters, and nothing appears as subcategories when we click on any of the options. Only the chips at the bottom are showing. Perhaps you can send us a link to a video showing how you’re trying to make it work?

Hi there

Is there a way to automatically apply title case to the SEO Title in Filter Everything Pro?

I would like the SEO Titles to be formatted with each word capitalized for consistency but I do not see an option for this.

Could you let me know if this is possible?

Thank you.

Hi beniangel

In general, we expect to release it by the end of this month. However, it will most likely be postponed, as a few hidden issues arose during in-depth testing that need to be thoroughly investigated and fixed before the release. Additionally, the list of initial features to be included in the update keeps growing, so there is still quite a bit in development.

So at this moment, it’s quite hard to predict, as new features can be added to the update at any time. It might even be split into two separate updates, though it’s not yet clear what the development team’s exact plans are. However, this update is significantly larger compared to previous ones, so unexpected issues can arise.

Best Regards,
Victor

Thank you for the update.

I am currently trying to fix some issues reported in my SE Ranking audit and it shows this tag as the cause:

<meta name=’robots’ content=’noindex, nofollow’ />

It seems to be added by the Filter Everything Pro plugin.

Can I safely remove this tag or adjust it somewhere in the plugin settings?

FE_support Author Team

You can remove or modify it using the WP robot tags hook. However, we do not recommend changing it to “index” or similar, as this would cause all filtered combinations to be indexed. The number of these combinations can be extremely high (potentially 200k or more), depending on how many filters you have, which could negatively impact the site’s performance if crawlers attempt to crawl them nonstop.

Hi!

Question about hierarchical brand filter behavior:

Taxonomy: hierarchical brand (e.g., parent N&D → children Ocean/Prime/Pumpkin).

Current behavior If the parent term is checked and then I check any child term, the parent remains checked. This makes results too broad and forces users to manually uncheck the parent.

Wanted: when a child is selected, auto-uncheck parent.

Optional: allow using the same taxonomy twice — (A) parent selector (top-level only, doesn’t affect query) → (B) child selector (shows children of selected parent, does affect query).

Is there a built-in setting for this (“exclude parent when child selected” / “use as parent only”)?

If not, could you share a safe JS/PHP hook/snippet to implement it?

Bonus: can child level be single-select (radio) with an “All” default?

Repro: check parent → check child → parent stays checked (undesired).

Thank you

Igor

Hi Igor

No, unfortunately, there is no functionality for such tuning yet. Also, following the support guidelines on CodeCanyon: https://prnt.sc/FVBlwVGrrBHh anything related to custom code, extending the plugin’s functionality beyond what is included by default, or styling is outside the scope of the support policy.

While you can experiment with it. What you can try is using template overriding: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/templates-overriding/ along with custom code to make it work exactly as needed for your case.

However, this will require quite a bit of work to make it function as intended, especially if you are trying to combine multiple behaviors within the same filter.

Best Regards,
Victor

I am using the plugin in horizontal mode with all of the filter options set as drop-down menus, and it’s almost perfect.

Is there an easy way to reduce the gap between the top row of dropdown boxes and the bottom row so the filterable results are higher on the page?

Also, is there a way to reduce the margin or padding between the top and bottom of the plugin and the title above it and the filter results below it?

FE_support Author Team

Hi shaunmarrs

Yes, you can apply your own custom CSS styles to the required elements. Simply place the custom CSS in Filters > Settings > Experimental > Custom CSS, then hit the Save button.

Unfortunately, custom CSS styles are outside the scope of the support policy on CodeCanyon. However, you can check this page for general information on how to find the classes of the required elements on the page: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colour-change-to-filter-title/

I’d like to cancel and receive a refund. I’ve had the Pro version for less than 24 hours.

FE_support Author Team

Hi luxejoie

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

We are sorry to hear that. Could you please describe the issues you have encountered with the plugin? We would be happy to help you and help make it work the way you are looking for.

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.

Hi,

I have set up a Filet Set, filtering on Categories, and added shortcodes to display the widget.

I have set the filter to a page called Filter> https://dnbf.org/filter/

The widget does show up, but I don’t get any posts to show up, and I have tried all the four “What to filter?” − non of them gives any post output.

I am using latest WordPress, Avada theme, and WPML (I have enabled translating Filter Sets in WPML)

What is missing? I read that there is no shortcode to put, where the posts should show, and perplexity.ai does not make sense to me:

“However, the plugin itself does not have a specific shortcode to output posts directly; instead, it filters posts already output by WordPress loops or page builders that show posts on the page.

To display posts that respond to the filters, you typically set up a WordPress archive or query loop on the page, and Filter Everything filters that output dynamically via AJAX or page reloads.

In short, there is no unique shortcode like [fe_posts] for outputting posts; the plugin filters the posts displayed through the normal WordPress post loops or page builder elements wherever you place the [fe_widget] shortcode for the filters.”

Kindly, Bjørge :)

We are glad to hear that everything is working as you need.

One more thing – when in Settings, filter widget on mobile = “Appear as a Pop-up”, the filter button appears as it should. But it appers on ALL other pages as well?

How to remove the bottons from all other pages?

FE_support Author Team

If the mobile button is visible on all pages, you need to go to the Filters → Settings → Experimental and turn on the “Hide opening widget buttons” option. It will hide the mobile filter button, so you need to add the shortcode [fe_open_button] (in the same place the filters widget is) to display the mobile filter button in the needed place.

So if we take an example with the page that you send us, you can add that shortcode below here: https://prnt.sc/VLIufDQiSzY3

Hello FE. I use a single filter system even for multiple categories. I like managing it from a single location and it’s easier. I’ve read past conversations, but I want to ask again.

In the “Where to filter?” section, it’s selected as the homepage. Additionally, I want the filter to appear in two more categories. How can I do this without creating a new filter set?

Notice: “What to filter?” section will remain the same.

FE_support Author Team

Hi MT93GP

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to do it. You have to click on the duplicated filter set and apply it to the corresponding page.

Is there any way to change the verbiage on the “No Results” message? By default, it says:

No Results Found The page you requested could not be found. Try refining your search, or use the navigation above to locate the post.

Is it possible to change this?

FE_support Author Team

Hi jchambo

This message is not from our plugin; it is coming either from the theme’s page template or from the page builder, depending on what you are using to display your products on the page.

Hello, I’m having an issue using Filter Everything Pro together with TranslatePress.

We have several large filters on our site, for example: .com/aanbod/merk-daf-or-renault-or-scania

TranslatePress stores all of these URLs in a database table, which has grown very large (400,000+ URLs).

Is there a way to only generate URLs for the first filter level, like: .com/aanbod/merk-daf

and then append additional filters as query parameters, instead of creating a separate URL for every combination?

FE_support Author Team

Hi daanvanzantvoort

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Well, there are only two options: URL filter permalinks or GET filter parameters. There is no option to keep it mixed.

You can turn off the filter URL permalinks with the following code:

define( 'FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED', false );

Then go to the filter set and hit the update button.

Also, there are some wildcard limitations in TranslatePress, which you can configure to prevent it from capturing everything for translation. This can help avoid issues with dynamic content.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi, When using the search bar, we get the message “x results found”, but all posts still show instead of being filtered. We’re using Avada Post Cards. Any idea how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance! WEBRAND

FE_support Author Team

Hi WEBRAND

We were trying to recreate it on our end, but we haven’t succeeded in recreating it on our end.

Could you please provide the exact settings you have under those options? (Perhaps we missed some important small detail.) That way, we can try using the same configuration on our end as well.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor, Can I give you access to a copy of the site or to the Sandbox website, so they can check it. Kind regards, WEBRAND

FE_support Author Team

Hi WEBRAND

Yes, if you could do that, it would be the best possible case.

Hey man,

Got an issue and a question :)

issue: Warning: Undefined array key “view” in /home/r116692empr/sitename.eu/wp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/Entities/EntityManager.php on line 937

question: how do you clear the cache for this plugin ?

FE_support Author Team

Hi JohnnyQ

If you know how to do it, you can go to filter-everything-pro/src/Entities/EntityManager.php on line 937 and instead of this (this fix will be included in the next plugin update as well):
$is_rating = ($filter['view'] === 'rating' && $filter['e_name'] === 'product_visibility' ) ? true : false;
Use this one:
$is_rating = (isset($filter['view']) && $filter['view'] === 'rating' && $filter['e_name'] === 'product_visibility' ) ? true : false;

Or you can send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can implement this fix.

Best Regards,
Victor

FE_support Author Team

You can clear them by going to the filter set and clicking the Update button.

Alternatively, you can reset the filter cache by visiting the shop page (or any other relevant page) and adding the following GET parameter to the URL: yoursite.com/shop/?reset_filters_cache=true

Best Regards,
Victor

Can you tell me how to fix the settings in the filter? It doesnt show products at the moment

Regards,

FE_support Author Team

Hi amandomm

The problem is not solved because the site keeps going down with an ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT error whenever we try to perform any action. If you’re experiencing the same issue, please contact your hosting support to find out why this keeps happening. As long as the site consistently goes down with this error, we are unable to test anything. We’ve never encountered another site behaving like this.

You can try recording a video to show how it’s working on your end. Also, please go to the Filter Set and check what type of query is displayed in the “And what to filter” section. This way, we can review the video and provide some guidance, as we simply can’t do anything on the site other than see the ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT error.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor,

I disabled the Web Application Firewall, can you retry it. Otherwise i will record video if still not work

Regards

FE_support Author Team

Hi amandomm

Yes, thank you! The site is finally working fine and no longer dropping the connection. We were able to identify the issue right away. The filter applied to the page is functioning correctly; the problem lies in how the attributes were assigned to your products.

The filter only uses global attributes created under Products > Attributes. As you can see, all the attributes there show a count of 0, meaning they haven’t been applied to any products. Instead of using those global attributes, custom attributes were used, as shown here: https://prnt.sc/LZMgC3MMrlhu

Now that we’ve applied one of the global attributes to the products, it appears in the filters as expected: https://prnt.sc/4Nm5slmw8Xvq

Price Range Not Working Properly

FE_support Author Team

It is either a conflict with a third-party plugin or custom code. Here’s what you can try to identify the issue:

1) Deactivate all plugins except for Elementor, Elementor Pro, WooCommerce (if you’re using it), and our plugin.

2) Switch to the default Twenty Twenty-Five theme.

3) Disable all custom code temporarily.

4) Check if everything is displayed and working as it should.

If it works correctly in this clean environment, start reactivating plugins and custom code one by one to find the source of the conflict.

Best Regards,
Victor

I already sent the credentials In Mail

FE_support Author Team

Hi familybuilder6

Settings image: https://prnt.sc/JjKqvaHZopxO

1) Choose a post type to filter

2) Add required filters

3) Choose the page where the filter set should be displayed

4) Choose the post type list that is displaying your posts on the page

And everything is working and displayed on the page: https://prnt.sc/pI-PvkVEQRk0

To display the filters on the right or left side, you need to modify your page template. This is not related to the plugin’s functionality or support; it strictly depends on how your page template is designed and structured. You can use either shortcodes or a widget at your own discretion.

To find the filters widget in Elementor, go to the WordPress section in the left widget panel. Open the WordPress area and look for “Filter Everything – Filters” that’s the filter widget.

Note: Using the search bar in Elementor won’t find it, so you need to browse manually through the WordPress widget section.

Best Regards,
Victor

FE_support Author Team

In the screenshot you sent, instead of using the search bar (which won’t find the widget), scroll down until you see the “WordPress” section. Open this folding menu, and it will display all available WordPress widgets. Then scroll through the list to find the “Filter Everything – Filters” widget.

Good afternoon, please can you confirm if there is a way to stop the URL structure from creating a child sub-category for each filter option?

ie. if i was to create a brand filter, and ‘Brand X’ is selected, the plugin automatically creates the following URL /brands-BRAND-X/, but this is impacting our overall SEO structure and strategy – is there a way to stop it?

it also causes a conflict with another plugin that’s visibility is determined/assigned by page allocation – so when something is filtered, it disappears.

Thanks in advance. Dan

FE_support Author Team

Hi Dan

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

The filter prefix is a core plugin functionality. It works as follows: when you create a filter from an attribute/taxonomy, you need to assign a filter prefix for it, for example, “fe_brand”.

When you choose a filter term, the filtering URL will have a [prefix]-[term-name], for example: /fe_brand-apple-or-samsung/fe_color-red-or-green/

It is required for filtering purposes, as without it, the URL structure could be interpreted as linking to physical pages or causing a 404 rather than applying filters on the current page. The prefix ensures the system recognizes the parameters as filters, not standard page paths, allowing filtering to work correctly.

If you want to return it to the GET parameters, so instead of the /fe_brand-apple/ it will be ?fe_brand=apple with the code below:

define( 'FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED', false );

And then go to the filter set and hit the update.

Best Regards,
Victor

I am using Filter Everything Pro and created a Filter Set for my Property listings (Region, Location, Price, and Sqft).

I want to display this filter widget in the left side panel/sidebar of my Property listing page, but currently the filters are not showing. Instead, I see this message:

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

Can you please guide me on:

How to assign my Filter Set correctly so that it works on the Property listing page.

How to insert the filter widget into the left sidebar panel (using widget area, shortcode, or Elementor).

My goal is to have the filters appear neatly in the left panel, while the property results are displayed on the right.
