Hi there, i made the switch from dev to live and now it says i have a invalid license.
Hi theme-builders
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.
Best Regards,
Victor
Okay, i’ve done that but there’s no active license under this account
Never mind, now it works. Strange, whole weekend nothing and now it works.
Usually, using incognito mode helps, as you are 100% guaranteed to have only one account currently logged in. Without incognito mode, it can use a different account depending on how many you have logged in during the current session, which may result in a message like “no active license under this account.”

Thanks for helping me out! It works well. Could you please tell me how you added this widget “the Filter Everything – Filters widget” in Elementor Pro in case I need it again? It gives me no results when I type there ‘Filter Everything’ into the widget search.
Hi garmatiuk1996
You can find it manually in the WordPress area of Elementor widgets (when editing the page via Elementor, scroll to the bottom of the Elementor widgets; there will be a WordPress section, open it, and it will have the Filter Everything widgets).
In the next updates, you can find it via the Elementor search bar as well.

Hello, When editing items, the cache of the filter pages is not cleared and remains outdated. Do you have a solution to this problem? The caching plugin is WP Rocket.
Hi EasySolutions2016
Can you please provide information on what you are doing to make the prices appear correctly again?
Are you updating the filter set, clearing the cache in WP Rocket, or using another method? Or are you unable to make the updated prices appear in the filter?
Also, please provide information on how exactly you are changing the prices on your products, as this is an important detail, for example, whether you are importing them, editing directly in the database, or using another method.
This information will help us understand exactly where the issue is occurring.
Best Regards,
Victor
The problem is solved by clearing the cache of the specific page or the entire site. I do not edit the filter sets. The price is changed by editing the product in the admin panel. Import is not used.
When you update the price of your products via the Admin panel, it also clears the transients to display updated data in the filters.
However, if the prices are not updating and the issue is only resolved by clearing the page or site cache, it means that the problem is strictly related to the caching plugin settings.
We recommend reviewing the settings and configuring the plugin to avoid caching certain elements on pages with filters to prevent such issues.
Best Regards,
Victor
When I change the price, it is reflected in categories, products, search. This means that the cache is cleared correctly. Only in the filter ones it is not.
Here’s what you can try to do: turn off the caching plugin completely on the site, then update a product’s price and click the Update button. After that, check whether the price filter updates correctly (reload the page with the filters). If it does update correctly without the caching plugin, then you will need to configure the caching plugin to prevent this behavior.
Additionally, you can send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it in the same way.

Victor
Hi, I sent you the credentials. Could you please have a look? Thank you!
Best regards, Tetiana
Hi Tetiana
We have checked the site, and it looks like the shortcodes were somehow either removed or modified during page rendering. However, we simply placed the Filter Everything – Filters widget instead of a shortcode, and everything is now appearing correctly and working. We also slightly configured the filter set and checked the mobile button to ensure everything is functioning as it should. All changes were applied on the /all-lessons-hub/ page, please check it.

Filter Everything – the Cause of a Potential DoS Threat
I’ve written about this problem more than once. The issue is that the filter on the page generates a huge number of links to pages with selected criteria. It’s easy to calculate: with multi-select enabled, a simple 10-item filter produces 1,000 such combination pages with URLs like “...or...or...or...”. With 20 items, that already becomes 1 million pages! 
I don’t think I need to explain what kind of load this creates on the server, or how enormous the cache becomes when this entire pool of links gets crawled by bots and scanners from all over the world. A single day of such crawling can completely exhaust the hosting storage, and when bots from different regions hit simultaneously, you can easily end up with a DoS attack. If several online stores using “Filter Everything” are hosted on the same server — and these attacks always come in parallel — a DoS is practically guaranteed.
Yes, all these pages have “noindex, nofollow”… Seriously??? Is that meant for Google Search Console? How is that supposed to stop anyone from opening a page and throwing it into cache? Even Google often couldn’t care less about these directives, not to mention the rest of the online riff-raff. And even if every link had “nofollow” (which it doesn’t), bots don’t care about this “politeness” at all.
So why do I have to sit at night with ChanGPT, inventing workarounds to protect an online store running FE? For several days now, there has been a massive wave of worldwide requests hitting exactly these “...or...” pages. And yes — I’ve managed to put together something fairly decent. In most cases, bots now get the middle finger and a 403. But it’s still just a workaround, not a real solution. The server still has to process these parasitic requests, even if much lighter than before.
A huge request to finally pay attention to this issue and come up with a real solution. Why not simply remove clickable links from filter criteria altogether, just like Premmerce Product Filter did back in the day?
Hi akaEnot
Thank you for the detailed report. We really appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Currently, we are actively studying this problem and working on possible solutions in collaboration with SEO experts. This includes considering the possibility of completely removing clickable links for filter combinations and other options.
Best Regards,
Victor
Removing links from the page + adding SEO rules to the site map should solve the problem with bots and improve SEO factors for filters.
Waiting for the new release… Thanks
The XML feature should be released in the upcoming 1.9.2 update. As for the links and other related features in the filter terms, we do not have the dates yet, as they require significant changes to the core functionality, and the best approach is still under consideration. Most likely, it will be in the 1.9.3 update.
Best Regards,
Victor
If you’re interested, I can share my method for dealing with dirty bots… It’s a crutch, of course, but it works to some extent.
Yes, you can share it via PM: https://codecanyon.net/user/fe_support
Since these improvements are still in the planning stages, additional input may provide new ideas. The end goal is to make the product as solid as possible. Any ideas, technical information, or feedback are always welcome.

Hi. Love your plugin 
I have the PRO Version. Can’t add a filter for text search. Item is missing in the dropdown. No matter what configuration. Should be product and shop site. Thanks.
Hi vinothekreneschmidliadmin
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Can you please provide a bit more detailed information on this: “Can’t add a filter for text search. Item is missing in the dropdown”, along with links to the screenshots showing what exactly you are trying to add?
There is a search filter, and there are search term inputs. For a dropdown to include a search input field, you can go to Filters > Settings > Experimental and enable Use improved styles for dropdowns.
Best Regards,
Victor
Sorry for not being absolutely precise. I would love to add a text search, where users can enter text and it searches/filters the products in the shop. I thought there is such an option with your plugin. In the setup of the filter I thought there would be an option like search in the add filter section to build such a search field und add it to the shop’s side bar. Regards Remo
There is a search filter, which can be enabled from the filter set settings: https://prnt.sc/vkjK-hyHAYY5

Hello,
Thank you for the plugin.
I’m trying to add the FIlter Set to multiple Product Categories but i can only choose one. How can i assign it to multiple categories ?
Thank you
Hi manolisklp
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
You can either apply it to the “any category” option, which will apply the filters to all category pages, or use separate filter sets on each required taxonomy page.
Unfortunately, selecting multiple category pages simultaneously is currently not supported, as it would add another layer to loop through the chosen category pages. This could cause other filter sets to overlap and be applied to the same ones, resulting in a slowdown. However, this may be introduced in future updates if there is a way to almost nullify the performance impact. We are currently working on the core plugin functionality, and after that, we will move on to more specific features like this.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hey Victor,
That’s totally a bummer, with 150 categories it’s going to be a huge work and really heavy.
If i choose the Parent product category, is it going to apply to the sub categories ?
How about adding a Price and a Sorting filter ?
Thank you!
You can simply apply one filter set with all possible filters to all of your category pages and enable the options to hide empty filter terms and empty filters (all available in the filter set settings). This way, each category page will display only the filters relevant to the products shown on that specific page.
If you want a more unique setup, then yes, it would require creating separate filter sets for each category page, potentially 150 filter sets in your case.
The price filter can be added in the same filter set by using a Custom Numerical Filter and the default WooCommerce meta key _price
The sorting widget needs to be created in the widget area, as it is a separate widget and not part of the filter functionality. For more details, please check this page about the sorting widget: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/sorting-widget/

Victor
Hello.
I have 1 filter set with 3 filters (search) (entertainment) (theme). I cannot seem to find the option to make the 3 filters independant from eachother, meaning, at this moment, when i choose an option from (entertainment) the filer (theme) then changes his amount of posts inside, according to the chosen option.
Thx in advance.
Hi bertg5
That is absolutely correct behavior. If you choose the red color filter, it will display only products with the red color. Logically, the other filters will then work only with the products that are already shown, the ones with the red attribute applied. If the filters worked independently, they would not filter anything properly. For example, if a client wants to find a red dress + size L + a certain material, instead of showing the exact products that meet all those filter options, it would display all products that have the red color, all products that have size L, and all products with the chosen material, instead of displaying only the products that match all the chosen filters at once.
However, if you want to create such a filter, you can set up a custom taxonomy or attribute where you place all of your attributes, like color, size, etc. Then, when you choose the filter terms, it will show products with color red or size XXL, without any connection between the attributes.

Victor
On my website, www.accesscomputacion.com, I have installed and configured the plugin. Everything works fine except that the category filter is not active and displays the message “This filter is inactive because it is not related to the selected post type.” I have several categories within the products. The post type for filtering is set to Products. The page where I am conducting the tests is the following: https://www.accesscomputacion.com/index.php/inicio_11/

Somehow the price range cannot be drag and it is not working well. You can try to filter a range but it is on display the product within the price ranges
Hi jackohjin
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Please make sure that the range filter is created from the correct price meta key. In WordPress, the default key is: _price
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi jackohjin
Basically, when you create a filter from the required taxonomy, the only way to have predefined filters is to select them and use a link to the page with that predefined filter already chosen. As you may have noticed, when you choose filters, they are added to the URL, so you can use that URL on your page to have the filter already selected.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi, I just installed your plugin and I’m very happy! After a little set-up I found an issue at category page. It shows all the filters with counters but doesn’t filter nothing. I set one more filter at Shop page and this works fine. The page Catalogs is under test site: https://dev.rosabakehouse.com/en/shop/products/. You can see Filter Set screnshot at: https://mega.nz/file/3cEVEAYA#WnH3EH-zD-TJ3rEtdCp334Ajyj9HIrCXk0yJfTx10Y0 Then the page with no filters applied at: https://mega.nz/file/bZlTzIDK#arZ9-_SbczxUkFuAYS7UK3o4YYkIyFBtZbIMi7_HnCA And then screenshot with filters applied: https://mega.nz/file/iQFCwaSB#JLnXVyocw05s9xXnVpXC7nyICpb1y6NZrMPSME0NtWw
Please, help me to solve the issue and let me know how can do it. Thank you for your support. Kind Regards, Sal
Hi Sal
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
When you configure the settings to display only categories on that page, the filter itself will not display any products. You need to display products as well in order to filter products. Only categories being displayed will not switch to products, at least not yet. Maybe such functionality will be added with future updates.

Victor
I seem to have a Divi-related problem: I want to use the Pro Version in my Divi 4 theme (ver 4.27.4). I work with the theme builder to influence the product category pages as I have custom content. In the builder I use the regular Woo Products element to show the category-specific products which I want to filter with Filter Everything. When I implement the filter, the filter items are shown correctly and also limited to options, that exists in the products of the category (correct price range, correct brands, etc.) When i try to filter the options however, it won’t work and won’t filter the products. I gave the container for the products its own ID which I also implemented in my filter settings (the container does not include the filter). Still no fitlering possible. The output of the products is the regular WooCommerce list with its class “products” and each li with its class “product”, so I don’t think the template has any special differences to the regular output for products on category pages. Any idea why its still not filtering anything?

Hello Victor, I sent you the credentials data. I tried out different kind of settings for the filter, but the only thing I managed to get working was a filter for one specific product category. I was not able to set the filter as a standard for every product category as the filterset would always have the same options. Ideally, I can have one standard filter to better organize myself and save time working with them. Is that maybe still possible?
Hi sbrinkmann1
We have checked the site and reviewed your setup. Each of your category pages uses a unique query, which is why a single filter set will not work in your case. This is typical behavior with many page builders.
Therefore, you need to duplicate the filter set and place it on each category page separately in order for it to work with the unique query on each page.

Victor

why i cant add a custom prefix for individual filters? its using the global prefix i cant disable it. when i tried adding custom prefix to the filters it is greyed out.
Hi leetwiz
We are not sure what you mean by the global and custom prefixes. If you have a filter created, you define which prefix it will use, and this prefix will remain for that filter. It will not change. In other words, you cannot create 10 filters from the same meta key or taxonomy and use a different prefix for each of them.
If you need multiple different filters, you need to add multiple separate taxonomies or custom fields in order to create a separate filter from each of them, each with its own unique prefix.

Victor
Hello, I’m trying to activate my license but I’m having trouble. It says I’m blocked. Please provide a solution. The license has disconnected itself twice already.

Do you mean that you have used the license by following the information from above, and it keeps deleting itself?
It can be connected to two things: either something is “cleaning” the database and deleting the key, or there is some type of conflict.
Could you please also send the license key that you obtained from the guide, so we can check it on your site and on the license server as well? Please send it via PM: https://codecanyon.net/user/fe_support

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).

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.

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.
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/
