Hello!

I’ve bought Filter Everything PRO and I have a problem configuring it for my website on WordPress + Elementor PRO. It seems that the [fe_widget] Shortcode is not rendering filters on Elementor Loop Grid Page.

Problem Description The filter set is configured, the shortcode is on the page, the Loop Grid is displaying the posts, but the filter boxes do not render.

I have performed a triple-layer cache purge multiple times, including: Hostinger/LiteSpeed Cache (Purged All). Elementor Cache (Regenerated Files & Data). Browser Cache (Safari Empty Caches + Private Window testing).

Best regards, Tetiana

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

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.

This is the license key that is used for activation of the plugin.

Hi I have a problem with the ” the color filter does not filter ”.

I chose to display the filter on the product category page. I created a separate color attribute, and within it, in the taxonomy, I included every color available in the store. Then, I specified that color searches would appear in variant versions. After creating this filter and placing it on the category page (Elementor builder), nothing appears.

Hi tomaszkrzemien49

If you are using the PRO version of the plugin, please submit a request from the account where the plugin was purchased and has an active support time.

Hello! I have one issue with the plugin.

I want to display the actual category and not use any prefixes i.e. displaying full category data including seo data, description, category image.

Is it possible to display all categories in the sidebar and not rewrite the urls and just redirect to a specific category? I always want to see ALL categories in the sidebar and be able to click any category and be redirected to the real category page

- real category page – /category/drinks - filter plugin category page – /category/category-drinks (with the prefix…)

The seo rules doens’t work as I don’t get the real category description and image. Only the title is being changed which is not what the client wants. Please help me.

FE_support Author Team

Hi gvelchev12

The SEO rules work only for the filtered pages. The filters use their own prefix to avoid any conflicts with actual slugs on the site and to prevent 404 errors. This makes it clear to WordPress whether the request is for a filtered page or an actual physical page.

So, if you want to create category navigation, you can use the product category widget. It is the default WooCommerce widget that provides a list of categories and redirects you to the selected category.

Also, please check the following pages to gain a better understanding of the SEO rules:

https://filtereverything.pro/resources/seo-rules/
https://filtereverything.pro/resources/all-about-seo/
https://filtereverything.pro/resources/brands-and-color-swatches/

Please note that generally, there is no support for accounts whose support period has expired following the support policy.

If you have any further requests, we can help you once we have addressed all requests from accounts with valid support periods. Please note that this process may take some time, possibly days or weeks.

If you want to receive it faster, please extend the support period. We will prioritize processing the request for supported accounts.

Thank you so much for reply! Best regards!

Hi,

I’m having an issue with Filter Everything PRO where clicking any filter does not update the URL, so AJAX filtering never triggers. The only filter that still updates the URL is the price filter.

What changed before the issue started

I did the following recently:

- Rebuilt all WooCommerce attributes (deleted the old ones, created new ones) - My old filters were based on ACF custom fields - In the existing Filter Set, I deleted all old filters and created new filters based on the new product attributes - Changed the site language from EN → NL - Then installed Filter Everything PRO on the live site

After this, the filters appear correctly on the frontend, but the URL no longer changes when clicking any attribute filter.

Comparison with staging (FREE version)

On my staging site, using Filter Everything FREE with the same attributes and the same selector (.filter-container):

- URL updates correctly (e.g. ?brand=grainplastics) - AJAX filtering works - Manually entering FE-style URLs works

On live (PRO):

- Clicking a filter does nothing (no URL parameter added) - Manually entering FE-style URLs (e.g. ?brand=grainplastics) also does nothing - Only WooCommerce’s native format (e.g. ?filter_keurmerk=kiwa) works manually, but this is not Filter Everything

Conclusion

Filter Everything PRO is not generating or recognizing its own URL parameters at all, even though the same setup works on staging using the FREE version.

Could you help me determine why the PRO version is not updating or processing filter URLs on the live site?

Thanks!

That’s how WPCode works (most likely firing too late). You can use this code snippet plugin instead: https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

And yes, it is stable and will not cause any issues. As long as you have the code on your side, it will use GET parameters, no matter how many products you add or anything else.

Best Regards,
Victor

Thanks Victor, good to know!

I can confirm everything is working now. After moving the FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED definition into an mu-plugin, Filter Everything switches to GET mode reliably and the filters work on all category pages.

Thanks for the clarification, good to hear this method is stable long-term.

Best, Joost

FE_support Author Team

Hi Joost

Glad to hear that everything is working, and a mu-plugin is the best choice. We usually do not mention it, as it is the most technical approach, and not many users can create it. You did an amazing job!

Hi!

We have been using your pro version of the plugin for a while and we have been quite happy with it. Now we just realised that the search result page is not showing the filters correctly. Can you maybe help us make it work how it is intended to?

Here is link for the search result page where its not working as it should: https://www.hi5bikes.fi/?s=chester+&post_type=product&lang=fi It is displaying all the possible filters, but those are general filter results from all the available attributes what we have in the page.

In category page it works fine, and only shows the attributes that are valid for the displayed products: https://www.hi5bikes.fi/kategoriat/osat/ohjaustangot/

Is there some setting that I’m missing or something we have to figure out from the backend?

Thanks, Peetu

FE_support Author Team

Hi Peetu

If the search algorithms on the site are altered by third-party search plugins that use incompatible algorithms, the search template may not be compatible with filtering.

Best Regards,
Victor

Alright, thanks for the quick reply!

Is there a good way to test this other than deactivating plugins one by one and seeing if that does the trick? I tried deactivating Relevanssi plugin that we are using for the results, but that did not do it. That is the only search related plugin that we use. Any other things we should search for?

Thanks, Peetu

FE_support Author Team

Deactivate Relevanssi, go to the filter set for the search page and update it by choosing the correct query, then click the Update button and test it. Link to the search page should be clean: https://www.hi5bikes.fi/?s=chester&post_type=product

HI, I’ve installed and uninstalled the plugin on multiple staging sites while testing things. The license key on my live site now shows as locked but as far as I can tell, I only have the plugin installed on that 1 live site. It’s frustrating there is no customer login that shows which sites on which it is active. Can you help?

Hi mrChristo

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.

Hi,

I’m wondering if the pro version of the plugin will work on Elementor in such a way that I will be able to display a set of AND filters on the home page and they will refer to the product card. Do you think this will be possible?

If the pro version of the plugin doesn’t work, can I return it? $44 is a bit too much for me.

FE_support Author Team

Hi piotrtomczyk21

Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.

The PRO version has a redirection feature that lets you place a filter on the home page or any other page and choose which page you will be redirected to after applying filters. This allows you to redirect users, for example, from the homepage to the shop page. The homepage has redirection filters that, when used, send users to the shop page, which is predefined in the settings.

As for the refund, we are following the CodeCanyon refund policies.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hello,

Currently, I am using Polylang on my WooCommerce webshop. The store is available in 9 languages, with each language representing a different country. In total, there are around 90,000 products, with approximately 10,000 products per language.

My main issue is with the price filter: at the moment, the filter fetches the prices of all 90,000 products, not just those relevant to the current query. As a result, a huge number of transients are generated in the options table, which significantly slows down any page where the filter appears.

Do you have any solution for this?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Hello, is there a way to have a reset filters WITHOUT the apply option? Basically a person can make selections and the products change without an apply button, yet there is a reset option?

Hi chris80808

You can use a chips widget for filter reset. Please check the next pages:

Out of nowhere, the filtering on my site (https://www.blackoutarmsandtraining.com/product-category/guns-firearms/handguns/semi-auto-handguns/) has stopped working. I have tried going back into the plugin and making sure the Where to filter and what to filter settings were correct and updated, but the filtering on the page just no longer works.

Hi rguyden

We tried a couple more times today, and the site opened after a long loading time. We noticed that you are using the LiteSpeed caching plugin. Try fully turning off the caching and clearing it on the site, then update the filter set. Pay special attention to the object cache, which can potentially cache queries across all pages, causing the filtering to stop working with cached queries.

Victor

Hi marketingEF

We have installed the plugin on the site, but we haven’t turned it on yet since we do not have FTP access to restore the site if it goes down with a fatal error.

Before activating the plugin, please make changes to the wp-config file to enable the debug log, so it will record any errors that occur during activation, and we can check those logs afterward to see the root of this issue.

Hi,

we need help debugging a major filter problem on a big WooCommerce site.

Everything was working properly on setup, but today it was discovered that something broke and filtering actually doesn’t modify the query. No matter what we selected, the products were not filtered. The URL, chips and selected terms changed properly, also the amount of items for specific filter item was correct, but the items remained unfiltered. The problem magically fixed itself when filter sets were resaved. As we use WPML, the translations of sets have also been broken and had to be resaved separately.

We saved the database before modifications, but need some guidance what to look for in it to find the root cause of the problem. Is there some kind of cache?

Best regards

Hi,

ok, if I understand correctly, the filter tries to match the current query params and if works, it applies the filtering?

The thing did change between resaves is md5 value of wp_filter_query and copying the value from fixed to broken site immediately fixes the problem. But what changes could cause this? Modification of posts per page? Installing/removing plugins? Adding/removing taxonomies (attributes)? Bulk editing products? I was under impression that the plugin doesn’t need maintenance …

Best regards

FE_support Author Team

Hi ideaz_agency

Any global modifications to the queries that can be caused by custom code applied via hooks, language plugins like WPML/Polylang, or user membership plugins, which often alter the queries to remove or add something, resulting in a completely different query hash.

Usually, if you have a page with products and use, for example, a translation plugin that modifies the query, you can update the filter set once, and it will continue working. Since it is a one-time change.

But if the query is constantly being altered based on some type of dynamic changes, you will need to adjust the filters to match those changes, as the query hashes will be different.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi, thank you very much for the clarifications. Best regards

Hi EstudioIII

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Either object caching or the wrong query is selected to be used for filtering in the “What to filter” section.

Hello,

I am using WooCommerce with the WoodMart theme, Elementor, and your filter plugin.

I have a problem with the mobile filter popup. Initially, I was not able to create the popup button itself, so I did it manually. Also, the filter only shows with compatibility mode enabled.

The problem is that when I click the popup button, the filter popup shows, but it has a dark overlay. When I click anywhere on the filter popup, it just closes the filter.

It looks like this is a problem with a wpc-overlay maybe.

I look forward to your response.

Hello! Very pleased with your plugin! Amazing work!

One question though, I have realised that when I open the main Shop page and click a certain category, the title and description doesn’t change. So for example I have “Shop” title and I click “T-Shirts” category, it doesn’t swap the title with corresponding category one. Is that expected or is it something I can achieve in addition?

I’ve purchased PRO version of the plugin but filters are still not working.

Can you please help me fix that?

Thanks a lot

FE_support Author Team

Thank you. We have checked the site and selected the correct category page with the required post list in the “Where to filter” section, and everything appears to be filtering correctly now. Please verify it on your side.

However, using a horizontal layout in the sidebar is not the best approach, as the filters will be squeezed.

Victor

You used the wrong meta key; it is not docenti, it is docente. We created a correct one in the same filter set so you can check it now.

Hi,

I have some trouble with setting up a filter. I already do have filters based on a custom field, like _filter_m_theme or something. That works for over a year.

Now I added a new custom fielld (meta value) named _filter_m_stock. When adding this filter just like all others, it shows the three values (low on stock, in stock, almost out of stock) on the frontend. However, clicking on these values makes the page load and a short while later nothing has been filtered. It also stands out that these specific filters on the page (origineelpakket.nl/winkel, click on “Open filters”, scroll down to Voorraadfilter) do not have a href on their tag, while all other filters do.

What makes it even stranger that if I try to add another filter based on a category (so not an a custom field), it also does not work.

This makes me feel that something in the slug/url-generation process is off.

Could you take a look? Cheers and thanks in advance!

Hi Victor

I already did :) Thanks!

FE_support Author Team

We have checked the site. The filter named “Voorraad” was completely deleted as it was broken, possibly due to being cached by a caching plugin. However, there were no URL prefixes set for it in Filters > Settings > URL Prefixes. After deleting it, we cleared the cache on your site via the Rocket plugin and created a new filter with a different prefix; it now seems to be working. We also enabled the counters during testing to ensure everything is displaying correctly, and it appears to be functioning properly. Please check it.

Additionally, we checked the prefix for another filter in a different filter set. If you go to Filters > Settings > URL Prefixes, you will see two filters with the fe_ prefix. These are the ones we modified, as they were conflicting with existing slugs on your site.

Best Regards,
Victor
