Hi lara309

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Yes, there can be quite different patterns and solutions in each case. Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

Hello! I have sent the credentials via PM.

We have checked the filter set and found a broken filter: https://prnt.sc/0G80Xx8biRV_ This attribute was most likely created in Products > Attributes and then deleted from the attributes, which is why the filter set cannot be saved.

Additionally, we checked your products and noticed an author attribute on your product. However, instead of using global attributes created in Products > Attributes, custom attributes are being used: https://prnt.sc/T1SZxnSA1-kp These custom attributes cannot be used for filtering, and we are not sure if any filtering plugin is using them for filtering.

To save a filter set, you can delete the broken filter from the filter set. And convert custom attributes into the global ones in order to create filters from those attributes.

And now I have come across new issue : I have styled my filter. I Have put a new container above the filter with some text field. Now when I want to filter, it shows the text instead of products..

Ok regarding to my 3rd issue I noticed it appears only if I check Try to use AJAX option. without it the filtering options work normally. I would like to use AJAX option. And both 1 and 2 issues still remains

Issue 2 sorterd : I needed to manually insert shortcode [fe_open_button] to display the button

Hi viktormadaj

1) It does the searching correctly, as it is looking for the word “Samsung” in the description and title of the product. Each of your products contains the word “Samsung” in the description. Please check this page regardless of the search filter capabilities and its ability to be modified to better fit your case: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/search-filter-add-remove-restrict/

3) If the products use some type of JS functionality to load them with animation, lazy load, etc., and this JS is not AJAX-compatible by default, it will simply not initialize after AJAX filtering, causing the results to appear as they would without that JS code. Please check this page for instructions on how these issues can be fixed: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-instructions-only/#ajax_related_problems

Hi Victor, thank you for answer. Issue one also sorted.

No I have come across one more problem. On my shop page ( https://www.madaja.sk/obchod/ ), the filtering works ok.

But as I choose a product category f.e. ( https://www.madaja.sk/product-category/klimatizacie-a/ ), I get following message instead of filter:

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

But I have filter set correctly since it is working on Shop page. I am using elementor, and I have created template for all product archives and shop page, that contains the Filter Everything widget.

Many thanks for help

We need access to the site to investigate this issue, as we do not know how the filter set is configured, how it is displayed on the category page, or what type of category page it is.

Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

Best Regards,
Victor

Thank you credentials sent

We created a separate filter set named “FE Support Category Page Filter” and placed the filter on this exact category page: https://www.madaja.sk/product-category/klimatizacie-a/

In general, you can place it on any category page instead of a specific page if the archive pages use the same main query to display products.

Hi eraysimsek

This is absolutely expected behavior. You can create an SEO rule only for one term in a filter. You cannot create an SEO rule for multiple chosen filter terms in the same filter.

For example, for a filter Color: Blue + Red, this will not work for SEO rules. If you have two separate filters, like Color and Size, and the chosen filter terms are Blue + XXL, this will work because they belong to separate filters. But if you choose Blue + Red + XXL, it will not work because the Color filter already has two chosen terms.

This behavior was designed according to SEO best practices. In other cases, links with filters like red-or-green-or-blue-… could be considered spammy and potentially lower your site’s SEO rankings.

You need to separate those things into different entities, such as product attributes or taxonomies: one for Brand and a second one for Model. Both can be dropdowns so that only one term can be selected in each filter.

1) In the Brand filter, display general brands like Apple, Samsung, etc.

2) In the Model filter, display specific models only, such as 12, 24 Pro, S6, etc.

In the filter set settings, you have to choose to always hide empty filter terms. This way, when you select Apple, only products with the Apple brand will be displayed, and the Model filter will show only the models available for those Apple products (the rest of the terms will be hidden).

You can then create an SEO rule by selecting a combination of Any Brand + Any Model.

Best Regards,
Victor

I understand the rule and behavior you mentioned. I have the following issue:

A product is compatible with many brands, and each brand has its own models. When I select a brand filter, all the attributes (models) contained within the product appear in the filter, which causes confusion for the user. To solve this problem, I tried creating parent and child groups with custom post types. It was going well at first, but it didn’t work out because there was no detail to trigger for the children.

Brand taxonomies and model attributes are unrelated lists. Even if there is no hierarchy, do you have any suggestions on how I can list only the models belonging to a selected brand? As I mentioned above, the problem starts here because a product is compatible with many brands and models. I thought about entering a separate product for each brand and model, but the product’s stock code is fixed.

P.S. I have disabled all plugins except of Filter Everything and WooCommerce. The theme is based of TwentyTwentyFive

Hi web-maverick

Please check this documentation page about JS functionality (in your case, it is a cart button with JS) that is not compatible with the AJAX by default, and how it can be fixed: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-instructions-only/#ajax_related_problems

Best Regards,
Victor

I am trying to debug it but so far to no avail. Although this is standard add to cart block that comes with WooCommerce by default.

Maybe someone else has already encountered this issue and general solution was found?

For instance I found this code snippet in FacetWP filtering plugin that indicates how to fix a conflict with WooCommerce:

<?php

/* * Product quantity <input> fields for add to cart forms, * generated with the woocommerce_quantity_input() function, * need re-initializing their minimum value (set in the ‘min’ attribute) after a FacetWP refresh: */

add_action( ‘facetwp_scripts’, function() { ?> <script> document.addEventListener(‘facetwp-loaded’, function() { jQuery(function($) { $(‘input.qty’).each(function() { var min = parseFloat($(this).attr(‘min’)); if (min >= 0 && parseFloat($(this).val()) < min) { $(this).val(min); } }); }); }); </script> <?php }, 100 );

?

Hi web-maverick

If this is a standard WooCommerce block and functionality, please send us the link to the exact page with the issue so we can check it. And define the roots of this functionality.

Hi, it’s local development. But you can easily re-create the issue by:

1) Installing WordPress + WooCommerce + TwentyTwentyFive (Block theme). No other installation is required

2) Enabling WooCommerce AJAX for Add to Cart in “WooCommerce -> Settings -> Products: Enable AJAX add to cart buttons on archives

3) Place your Filters shortcode in Product Archive and enable AJAX in your plugins settings too.

This default setup follows the following structure of a webpage (simplified):

<main class=”wp-block-group” id=”wp-skip-link-target”> some other stuff inserted by woocommerce or 3rd party plugins/themes

product collection block from woocommerce

If in FIlter Everything General settings for “HTML id or class of the Posts Container ” you put:

.wp-block-woocommerce-product-collection CSS class – then AJAX filtering for your plugin works, along with dynamic URL updates. However, woocommerce add to cart buttons stop to work.

if you try to use <main> as the container (#wp-skip-link-target), although against your recommendations in docs, then AJAX filtering for your plugin works, along with woocommerce add to cart buttons. But of course what stops to work is dynamic url updates.

A) WooCommerce Product Collection Block as container for filtering:

Webpage <main> tag as container for filtering:

It’s a local development but you can easily recreate the issue by:

1) Fresh install of WordPress + WooCommerce + TwentyTwentyFive Block theme.

2) Enabling AJAX add to cart button functionality in WooCommerce Products Settings

3) Enabling AJAX in Filter Everything settings

4) Placing Filter Everything shortcode in Product Archive template

P.S. By default web pages follow this structure:

product collection block from woocommerce

A ) If you define WooCommerce Product Collection block as filtering container (”.wp-block-woocommerce-product-collection”) then AJAX filtering works from your plugin, along with dynamic URL updates. However, WooCommerce add to cart block button doesn’t work.

B ) If you define webpage <main> element as filtering container (”#wp-skip-link-target”) then AJAX filtering works from your plugin, along with WooCommerce add to cart block button. However, dynamic URL updates stop working as, of courcse, this setup is against what you suggest in your docs.

P.S. Code commenting here is broken. See screenshot attached:

Trying to post this reply for the 3rd time as commenting system here is…..

Hi web-maverick

We have managed to recreate this behavior by following your instructions and have passed it on to the development team. Once we receive updates from them, we will let you know immediately.

Best Regards,
Victor

Thank you for your reply.

So it means there is no ETA?

There are no exact dates, as a list of tasks is in progress with a queue, so the timeline depends on how quickly the items ahead of this one are completed.

Maybe it will be included in the next update.

Victor

Any updates on this breaking feature with WooCommerce – #1 plugin that is used with Filter Everything plugin?

Hi web-maverick

The development team has checked this issue, and it is not related to WooCommerce itself; it is related to the Gutenberg/FSE theme functionality. They are using Preact with React, etc., on the front for those elements, so the development team is currently checking how this can be addressed, either on the plugin side or in general, as it is quite complicated to find the exact source where those specific events are applied and how to reinitialize them to make it work without any issues.

Best Regards,
Victor

Thank you for your clarification. I understand the depth of issue and hopefully it can be resolved soon. As disabling AJAX leads to more server load

Hi Ryan

You can create filters from the category taxonomy or place filters on the category pages. Both options work fine. The main key here is the filter prefix, which keeps the filters unique.

To reset filters, please use the Chips widget or a chips shortcode. Please check this page: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/chips-widget/ and the page with shortcodes: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor, thanks for your reply. Yes, I did think that it could cause problems if I tried to mirror the filter prefixes with the exact ones WooCommerce uses, they obviously need to be unique. I was just wondering what links I could use if I had menu structure with all my categories in?

The chips Elementor widget works fine but I can’t find an option for making the lozenge buttons display horizontally?

Perhaps you don’t even need a category filter on category pages. If you have physical category pages with the links to them on your site, you can use the Woo Product Categories widget to display all the links. This way, users can simply navigate across the categories by clicking on those category pages from the widget and have all of the other filters on the category pages. Perhaps only on the main shop page you can add a separate filter set with the product categories. In order to filter everything on the same page, as you need.

Could you please clarify what exactly you mean by “lozenge buttons”? Could you send the link to the page with those buttons so we can check them?

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor, thanks for getting back to me. By lozenges, I mean the ‘Chips widget’ and the rounded buttons it adds when you add filters (Here: https://postimg.cc/mPLpspPp). I’d like them horizontal rather than vertical. Thanks, Ryan

Hello! With the free version of the Filter Everything plugin, filters were displayed correctly on the site and filtered the products as expected. After activating the PRO version, the filters have disappeared – there is just empty space where they should be (although in Elementor editor they are still present). Could you please advise what might be the issue and how to fix it?

Thank you!

Hi helenbriggs

Hmm, this is something new we haven’t seen before. Could you please send the credentials to the WP-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

Also, please share the link to the page where this error is appearing so we can test it there.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor

I’ve sent the details you’ve requested and a screenprint of the error message.

Let me know if there is anything else you need.

Best regards Helen

We have added it to the development list so the team can review it and potentially provide a fix. When we get any information related to this, we’ll let you know right away in this comment thread.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi helenbriggs

We have received information from the development team with a potential fix for this issue.

If you know how to do it, you can go to content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/RequestParser.php, approximately line 133 (the exact line may differ), and change only this part:

$queriedValues  = explode( FLRT_QUERY_TERMS_SEPARATOR, $values );

To this code:

if ( is_array( $values ) ) {
            $queriedValues = $values;
        } elseif ( is_string( $values ) ) {
            $queriedValues = explode( FLRT_QUERY_TERMS_SEPARATOR, $values );
        } else {
            $queriedValues = [];
        }

If you do not know how to do it, we can try to add it ourselves, but in case of any issues, such as a fatal error, we do not have access to the files (FTP) to fix it. It would be better if you could make the change in a controlled way and, if something goes wrong, restore it to the previous value.

Victor
