Yesterday, I purchased the Filter Everything Pro version. I downloaded the zip file, and it gave me an older version, the 1.9.1, and not the 1.9.4. My AI is telling me I need the latest version to get everything set up properly in WordPress. Can you please help me out?
Hi nateprice
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Yes, you can update your AI information to reflect that the latest plugin version is 1.9.1 (as of now), so it won’t provide false information. Overall, the AI’s accuracy is about 50/50 when it comes to the quality of information provided.
If you’re facing any issues with setting up the filters or anything else, please let us know the specific problems. Don’t rely solely on the AI, as we have the real, up-to-date information on the plugin. What it can and cannot do at this time. We can also help set up a working example on the required page instead of trying to fix issues based on incorrect AI suggestions.

Hello, good afternoon.
I created a Filter Set with 12 filters, using the shortcode in header.php and styling it to open as a popup. I’m using the “apply filter” button system, and the filter is configured to open on the blog page. Everything works as expected.
However, I assumed that purchasing the plugin would allow the same filter to work automatically across all pages. I didn’t anticipate having to create a separate set for each page type. My site has a front_page, regular pages, the blog, and single posts.
Creating a set for each page type would result in multiple sets with the same filters, generating a complex URL structure and making maintenance more difficult. Any change in one set would also need to be replicated across the others.
The goal is for the filter to behave consistently across all page types. Since the filter uses the “apply filter” button, I expected this would be possible. I understand that this use case is unusual for the plugin, but I wanted to ask if there’s any workaround.
Is there a way to use a single Filter Set for multiple pages or page types? For example, using a function in functions.php or a hook to make the set reusable across different pages without duplicating it.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi FernandoVG
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
You can use a single filter set on all archive pages (of a filtered CPT), such as post type archive pages and taxonomy archive pages. For that, you need to place a filter set on a “common WordPress pages + any archive page with a common query.”
This is possible with the archive pages for a CPT because, by default, they share the main query, as long as you’re not using custom approaches like page builders or other custom templates that can replace the main query with unique custom queries on each page.
If queries are unique on different pages in order to make it work on all of those pages, you need a separate filter set to work with these unique queries across the pages.
As you mentioned, it can be a bit tedious to apply some changes if you have multiple filter sets, but it’s also important to align the initial idea with best practices. If your site is spread across different page types that use different queries instead of the main query, your filter setup needs to follow that structure as well.
In general, everything depends on the initial approach and how it was implemented, especially in terms of how many filter sets you need to place across all your pages.
If you create a few more taxonomies that use the same main query across all of them, you can apply a single filter set to all of them. Separating pages that require filters from singular pages or those displaying data that doesn’t need filtering is the best approach, as it eliminates the need to create multiple different filter sets.

Hi! I want to integrate a filter on a category that has subcategories (children). The proposed filter only allows you to add terms that are displayed in alphabetical order, but I would like these categories and children to be displayed as a tree structure, possibly with indentation. Does the plugin allow this? If so, how? Thank you for your help.
Hi ericbourges
The hierarchy view is available only for filters created from a taxonomy and using the checkboxes view for a filter. The hierarchical structure will appear the same as it does on the category filter on this page: https://demo.filtereverything.pro/category/health/
You can find the hierarchy view in the “More Options” section of the required taxonomy filter: https://prnt.sc/9qeehr_79rLj

Perfect, thanks for the quick response.
Hi, i bought a new license and why i want to add the licence key plugin says “Invalid license key. Please enter correct license key.”
Hi mrijnwal
Please use incognito mode in your browser during this process!
In order to get 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.
Let us know if it helped. The incognito mode is quite important in this case.

Victor
Hi there,
Is it possible to have a page that contains a filter load with a pre-set/pre determined filter in place, and showing options based on said filter?
The user would then need to manually change the filter accordingly to view other items.
If so, how do we do this?
Hi websiteguyjh
You can achieve this by selecting the required filters and using the resulting URL with those filters applied. Then, update your site’s links, such as replacing the default /shop/ link in the main menu, with the filtered URL (e.g., /shop/+chosen_filters). This way, when users click the “Shop” link, they’ll be taken directly to a page with the selected filters already applied.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thanks heaps Victor. This is something we did think of, but we’re dynamically linking to a Product Category page, so wanted the Filter within that page to be preset, perhaps by editing the shortcode where we insert the filter?
Hi websiteguyjh
Hmm, unfortunately, this isn’t quite possible with the plugin’s built-in functionality.
However, you can implement a custom redirection that directs users to a page with the chosen filter terms. This is a tricky feature because it shouldn’t interfere with filtering once the user arrives on that page. So, this redirection should only happen during the initial navigation from any source and then be disabled afterward.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thanks Victor!
Hi there,
I understand you can have Brands represented with images, and Colours represented with colour swatches, but we’re wanting to have our filterable options (which are custom taxonomies) represented with images if possible.
These are our current filter controls: https://tinyurl.com/22hsfozf
We’d like to have each represented as an image we design/upload. E.g: https://tinyurl.com/29rmz5br
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
Hi websiteguyjh
If they are custom taxonomies (not custom fields), then yes, you can apply images to them. Please check this page for instructions: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/brands-and-color-swatches/
You need to enable color swatches and select your custom taxonomies. After that, go to the taxonomy terms and assign images to each term.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor – that’s fantastic, and working for us. What we were actually after thought is the image we upload to act as the ‘button’ entirely, rather than an icon associated with a radio button and label..Similarly to the way your documentation shows Brands.
Our buttons now with icons: https://tinyurl.com/2d33xdup
Desired button as an image: https://tinyurl.com/2ct37uas
Hi websiteguyjh
For that, you can probably use the labels: https://prnt.sc/RlbjJBqSc5Dz in the filter views with additional custom CSS.
You can add your custom CSS under Filters > Settings > Experimental > Custom CSS. The labels will function like a single button, but custom CSS is essential here. The final result doesn’t look too complicated, so it can definitely be achieved.

Victor

Hello, The filters shows correctly in “Archive” but does not show in “Tags”
How I can fix this please?
Thank you Kuz.
Hi Kuz
Please provide more detailed information, including links to the affected pages and screenshots if necessary. This will help us better understand the issue.
What can be checked:
1) If there is a filter set placed on the “Tags + Any Tags” pages in the “Where to filter.
2) Check if the tag archive pages include the shortcode or filters widget to display the filters.
3) Check if the tag page has a sidebar, or if it is hidden by the theme template.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hello, Just send you an email with all details.
Thank you Kuz.
The issue was number 1 from the “what can be checked” in the previous answer:
1) If there is a filter set placed on the “Tags + Any Tags” pages in the “Where to filter.
We simply duplicated the filter set that was used on all category pages and applied it to all tag pages.
Best Regards,
Victor
Worked fine. Thank you.
Hi! Our website uses Elementor and ACF. We created a custom post type for products with a business field. When using the search field to search for products, the filter doesn’t find anything if the searched text is in the Business ACF field. But if the text is in the description, the filter shows results.
Is there a way to make Filter Everything also look in the ACF fields when searching/filtering with the search box? Thanks!
Hi expomangersantebh

Hello There,

Hi fulfillment8
We have checked the site and found the following issues:
1) The plugin files have been modified – please note that we do not provide support for modified plugin files.
2) Redirection rules are in place, which are redirecting filtered URLs back to the category pages. This prevents filter parameters from being passed correctly in the URL.
Please restore the plugin to its original state without any modifications to the plugin code. Remove the redirection rules that interfere with the filtered URLs. After making these changes, check the filtering functionality again.
Currently, on this page: https://dev.wilcoxnursery.com/store/Native-Plants-c51293352/ you can see checkboxes (possibly also modified), but the redirection issue is still active. Here is a screenshot showing the redirection in action: https://prnt.sc/WEEjmNXn9Hz1
Best Regards,
Victor
1: I did not changed anything in plugin file. It’s original plugin. Btw may I know which file you found it’s changed.
2 : it’s only redirecting issue or?
Thank you
The changes we noticed right away were in the plugin folder: /views/frontend/dropdown.php
If you were following the template overriding instructions, you should have created a folder named “filters” in your theme directory, copied the template files there, and applied your modifications within the theme, not directly in the plugin files: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/templates-overriding/
The screen of changes: https://prnt.sc/8OYaULOObLzg
Most likely, you (or a site developer) were trying to remove the filtering prefix from the filters. However, this approach does not work, as these prefixes are core-related data essential for the filtering functionality. Removing them will break the filtering system.
As for the redirections, yes, this is related to the site settings, they are forcing all additional URL parameters (filter particles) added after category pages to redirect back to the original category page. This could be caused by parameters in the .htaccess file or configurations in another plugin. It’s recommended to check both for any rules or settings that may be enforcing these redirections.

Victor
I am developer.. and I want tell you I did not modified any plugin files. As I know If I modified then it will be not work. So, No changes in any files. I don’t understand why it’s not working even I purchase subscription.
Can you please help here what do exactly for that tp be working?
Thank you
Hi fulfillment8
We do not know who modified the files or when; this is not something we can help you with to find who did it.
This is what is used in your plugin code dropdowns.php:
<?php echo trailingslashit( home_url( '/store/' ) ).$term_object->slug; ?>
And this is what is used in the original plugin code that you can download from CodeCanyon:
<?php echo esc_attr( $url_manager->getTermUrl( $term_object->slug, $filter['e_name'], $filter['entity'] ) ); ?>
You can check that yourself here: https://prnt.sc/I_LuKPatMzYS as you can see, the modification dates are the same for all files with clean download from CodeCanyon. We’ve checked plugin versions up to 1.8, and the code currently in your dropdowns.php file was never part of any official release.
What you can do is create a clean staging environment, install the default 2025 theme and WooCommerce with default products, then install a clean version of the FE plugin downloaded from CodeCanyon and activate it.
Create a filter set, place it on the shop page or any category pages, and test its functionality. Then, one by one, add your customizations, plugins, and other elements to the clean staging environment to identify what exactly is causing the redirection issue. The modifications to the plugin files would be resolved once a clean version from CodeCanyon is installed in the staging environment.

We are experiencing issues on our site – front end display of a different plugin. As part of our troubleshooting, we tried to update the Filter Everything plugin within a development instance of the site. The active license did not work there. We deactivated the license from the live site to try to ‘free’ it up for use on the dev site. That also did not work. And now, that license won’t even work on the live site. Could you please help?
Hi brettmwillis
Please send us your license key that you are using for activation via PM: https://codecanyon.net/user/fe_support
So we can deactivate it across all of the sites.
Regarding the first issue, “We are experiencing issues on our site – the front-end displays a different plugin.” Please provide a more detailed description of the issue, along with a link to the page with this issue.

Hi! We have purchased filter everything pro and are super happy with the functionality of it. The only issue we have run into (which i have see comments on here about – but have not been able to resolve on my own) is the elementor pagination not updating when selecting filters. The products filter as they should but there are still multiple pages within the pagination that are displaying empty when selected since there are not enough products for those pages. Pagination and products are within the container while filter sets are not. https://houseofgains.com/product-category/supplements/productsize-25lb/

Hello,
By using the option “Hide until the parent is selected” shouldn’t it automatically deselect and hide all children if a parent is deselected by the user?
Example: parent > child > grandchild > teddybear
If a user deselects the child filter, the filters grandchild and teddybear are still active and not hidden. I was thinking that it would deselect them and hide them in such cases.
I know my support expired but I’m thinking this is more of a bug? We can extend the support if you can help us.
Thank you,
Hi sergiue2
This is not a bug, it is the expected behavior. There is no functionality that automatically resets all child filters when a selected filter term is changed or removed from the parent filter. This is intentional, especially in cases with a long chain of selected filters, so users don’t have to reselect the same options repeatedly.
In some cases, users may want to deselect the parent filter while keeping the child filter selected. As long as the child filter is still selected, it will continue to be displayed.
However, with future updates, it can be extended to include multiple behavior options to cover a wider range of use cases.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi FE_Support,
Have been using the plugin successfully on our site for a little while for a Product Filter page. We are having some issues with the SEO rules not working for multiple categories (parent and child list). Even though we have the SEO Rules set to allow for up to 3, it seems it will only work for multiple category types possibly?
Would there be any workaround for this to allow for multiple categories in the same list being added to the Title and have the index, follow tag on?
Thanks
Hi petercrane1
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Unfortunately, only one filter term from each filter can be used for SEO Rules. Multiple filter terms from the same filters are not allowed, as this is considered bad SEO practice. Using two or more filter terms from the same filter in SEO rules can be flagged as spam by search engines and may negatively impact your rankings.
However, as a workaround, you can create custom taxonomies instead of using the same one. For example, one can be taxonomy_1, and the second can be taxonomy_2, and you can create separate filters from them.
You can use this plugin to add as many custom taxonomies to your post types as needed: https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/Best Regards,

When I click on the widget to set filters, the filtered products are recalculated correctly within the widget. However, when I apply the filters later on the e-commerce page, it always shows all the products, as if they hadn’t actually been filtered. What’s the problem? I use WP Rocket to manage the cache.
Thanks
Hi newctaitalia
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Most likely, the wrong post list is chosen in the “And what to filter” dropdown in the filter set.

Hi olegbycar
In that case, the connection to the license server is blocked by your provider, hosting service, or other settings.
You can send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can activate it manually on the site. Also, you need to attach the license that you are using for activation.

Can I place the filter button and sort button side by side on mobile devices? I want a box like a filter box. I tried to make a drawing as an example. Is this possible?
You can see it in the image I uploaded.
The first area here is the sorting feature, and the second is the filter button.
My goal is to make the sorting button the same size as the filter button and have both buttons appear side by side.
This is the look I want.
https://ibb.co/QFT15XjY https://ibb.co/6JPFc4qnHi aga2442
Yes, you can do it with custom CSS by placing both elements in the same container and applying the styles under Filters > Settings > Experimental > Custom CSS.
For general information on how to find CSS classes for any element on a page, you can check this page: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/colour-change-to-filter-title/

Hi,
I use Elementor Pro with ACF and filter everything. I have made a loop grid in elementor on a Elementor Page (named Wandlampen). On this page I have a loopgrid. The loopgrid is connected with css class =filter-wandlampen-buiten to the filter everything class =.filter-wandlampen-buiten . When I select a filter optie (checkbox) the products in the loopgrid are not showing, but the URL is changed.
I hope you can help me with this problem?

Hi suzeentjes1
We have checked the site, and the issue is with the modified custom fields. At some point, their type (which may have previously been text) was changed to a checkbox, allowing multiple predefined values to be selected. As a result, there is now mixed data in the database.
Please check this page about ACF: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/acf-and-fe/#important
