Hi, Hope you are keeping well.

on my site dev2025.dreambeds.co.za on our filters, there is a search box in the filters (alloiwing you to search a filter).

How do I remove this? We have the option for ‘search field’ greyed out and non selectred , so unsure why it is showing.

You have also helped us previously using a custromn version (as we purchased the pro version but was no workin g100% gor us).

I am not sure if this has to do with that.

If you look at the page below, you will see abn example https://dev2025.dreambeds.co.za/product-category/stock/home-furniture/

From my end, what I did was to make the dropdowns thinner (tyhey were too fat) and not sure if that affected anything.

Thank you very much

Hi Tarquin

That dropdown is using Select2, which is a default feature included by the library. This is why it is not configurable from the plugin side. You can simply use CSS like this to hide it:

.select2-search--dropdown {
    display: none !important;
}

Please check this link: https://staging.project-in-progress.com/prakash-chemical/

Screenshot: https://prnt.sc/2Xwv85j0b_iM

When you click the Product Finder button in the header, a popup opens. Inside the popup, under Product Finder, we have created multiple dropdown options.

However, when we click the last Product Finder option, it should redirect to the product listing page with the filters applied — but this is not happening. please check and guide me

Correct product listing page link: https://staging.project-in-progress.com/prakash-chemical/product/

Screenshot: https://prnt.sc/VAfPMOux1C4P

In this link, if you click the Product Finder button in the header, the popup opens and the filtering is working correctly. The dropdown options are also displaying properly.

Hi juhishah

Yes, that is absolutely correct, you need separate filter sets for all of them. If you need to make adjustments, you will need to modify them everywhere as well.

This is why it’s not the most efficient approach, but it is the only way to make it work right now. However, in future updates, there will be functionality that allows the redirection filter to be displayed on all pages using just one filter set.

So currently, as we mentioned, you can stick with the link in the header that directs straight to the product page with all the filters. After the update that allows using one redirection filter set on all pages is released, you can switch from the link to the redirection filter.

Best Regards,
Victor

Thanks, so may I know when can we expect this upgrade in plugin and we will able to make single filter for all pages?

FE_support Author Team

Hi juhishah

Probably from the 1.9.3 updates or higher. Currently, we want to finish and release 1.9.2 as it already includes many features, and it is the biggest update we have ever released in a single version.

two fields originally set up in ACF as radio buttons. When I went to display it shows no data .I deleted both from ACF and from Filter Everything. Went back and created fields again as check boxs and text. Either way it does not recognize the values when i add data to the pages and save. I am trying to use same field names b/c it makes sense but it seems maybe i cannot since this null data is stuck. Any ideas how to clean this out so i can use these field names

Hi resshaheen

You can send your licese key via PM: https://codecanyon.net/user/fe_support so we can deactivate it across all of the sites.

This way, you can activate the license only on the sites that you need.

Hello, I have just purchased the pro version. I have already been using the free version and about to install the pro version. My question is, once I install the pro version will it remove all my existing filters and settings or it will keep them?

FE_support Author Team

Hi believerfellow

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

You just need to install the PRO version of the plugin without deactivating or deleting the Free version. After installing and activating the PRO version, you will have access to all PRO features while keeping your existing filters intact.

After that, without deactivating the PRO version, you can remove the Free version if you want.

I’m wondering if I can use the plugin to create a filter for the search results page. I want people to be able to filter post type for example. Or sort by recency vs relevance. That kind of thing.

FE_support Author Team

Hi jpsquared

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

You can place a filter on the search page to filter the results. However, as you might have noticed, when creating a filter set, you must choose the exact CPT it will work with. This means you can filter only one specific post type at a time; you cannot filter multiple CPTs like posts, products, news, etc., simultaneously.

So if you place a filter set on the search page, it should display only the chosen post type.

To place a filter set on the search page, go to Where to filter and select Common WordPress pages + Search page.

It will work like on this demo page: https://demo.filtereverything.pro/?s=nam&post_type=post

Victor

Hello,

I’ve set up this filter, but it’s not working correctly. It does filter, but all products still appear — just in a different order.

FE_support Author Team

Hi Oliver

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Everything is filtering correctly. The only issue we noticed is that you specified the wrong container for AJAX filtering. Currently, it is using:
.products
try using:
.elementor-widget-wc-archive-products 

This should work fine. Also, just in case we attach the documentation on AJAX filtering: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/ajax-instructions-only/

Hello! I need help with Filter Everything PRO customization and Elementor integration

We are using Filter Everything PRO + Elementor PRO to build filters for a CPT (“Courses Certificates”). Filtering itself works, shortcode output works, but we face issues with styling and widget visibility.

Main problem: We must customize UI to look like dropdown-style filters (horizontal layout, item expands below on click/hover, shadow, padding, animation). However, custom CSS applied in: • WP → Appearance → Customizer → Additional CSS • Filter Everything settings → Custom CSS field • Elementor page → Custom CSS inside shortcode block

does not affect dropdown styling, or affects partially (only font-weight or icon position changes apply, layout/containers ignore styles).

Technical details: • Filters are inserted via shortcode: fe_widget horizontal=”1” columns=”4” (because widget was not appearing inside Elementor widget panel) • Fields used: ACF custom fields + taxonomy • Filters currently render correctly & filter posts, but UI layout is hard to override.

Issues that need clarification: 1. Why Elementor does not detect Filter Everything widget? Only shortcode works, widget list in Elementor is empty. Is there a missing integration step? 2. How to properly override container styles of filter dropdowns? We need to apply custom CSS to: • .wpc-filters-widget • .wpc-filter-content • .wpc-term • dropdown wrapper positioning (absolute/relative) • hover state + shadow + equal container width but CSS often gets overwritten by internal plugin styles or inline-flex wrappers. 3. Is there an official recommended way to fully restyle filter dropdowns? – via CSS override selector? – via template override? – via theme compatibility file? – via your plugin hook/filter?

We would greatly appreciate an example or documentation on how to safely override and control dropdown UI layout, including width inheritance and opened/closed states.

Goal result (visual reference included): • Horizontal filter bar with 4 buttons • Each opens dropdown panel below aligned to parent width • Smooth hover/active highlight, shadow, padding like on Figma reference mockup

If needed, I can provide page HTML, screenshots, or temporary access for debugging. Thank you — waiting for guidance on best practice method for full UI customization.

FE_support Author Team

Hi jacknormaann

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

Most likely, you are facing CSS specificity issues: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Guides/Cascade/Specificity

.btn { color: blue; }        /* lower specificity */
.btn.primary { color: red; } /* higher specificity → wins */

If you target some elements only with their own classes or without enough specificity in CSS, your styles will be overwritten by those that have higher specificity. Also, check if you have any caching for CSS.

The Elementor widget can be found in the WordPress section. When you edit the page with Elementor, the list of all widgets appears on the left side. Scroll down to the WordPress section, open it, and look for the Filter Everything – Filters widget. The search won’t find it yet, but it should be discoverable via search in the next update.

Also, for those dropdowns to look the same as in the demo, go to Filters > Settings > Experimental, turn on Improved Dropdown Styles, and hit the Save button.

Depending on whether you are using a shortcode or a widget, there are settings to make the layout horizontal and set the number of columns.

Hi,

I bought the pro version and all seems to work well except on mobile, i selected the appear as popup on mobile and have tried combinations of enable compatibility and sidebar on top with a HTML id or class of the Posts Container of .wpc-posts-found but on a mobile when i click on the filters button the popup opens with the title but nothing else, just a blank screen. Any ideas?

Thanks

I can only leave this live for a short while for you to see it as this breaks the filters on mobiles:

https://www.bennettsfishing.co.uk/shop/

Do you have a private ticket system for support?

FE_support Author Team

There is this piece of code added that hides it on mobile: https://prnt.sc/8JvrU3ofB7_a

If we switch it to block, everything appears correctly: https://prnt.sc/F3Okd96bJjjr

You can try adding the following code in Filters > Settings > Experimental > Custom CSS:

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
 .wpc-custom-selected-terms:not(.wpc-show-on-mobile), .wpc-edit-filter-set, .wpc_show_bottom_widget .widget_wpc_selected_filters_widget, .wpc_show_bottom_widget .wpc-filters-widget-content .wpc-filter-set-widget-title, .wpc_show_bottom_widget .wpc-filters-main-wrap .widget-title, .wpc_show_bottom_widget .wpc-filters-widget-wrapper .wpc-filter-layout-submit-button, .wpc_show_bottom_widget .wpc-posts-found, body.wpc_show_bottom_widget .wpc-open-close-filters-button, body.wpc_show_open_close_button .wpc-filters-widget-content:not(.wpc-opened) {
        display: block !important;
 }
}

Hello,

I am configuring a filter in your plugin and I need to use the Numeric Range display type. However, this option appears disabled in the dropdown list when selecting the filter view.

The fields I’m trying to filter come from a custom taxonomy. Even though the taxonomy terms contain numeric values, the plugin still does not allow me to select the Numeric Range option (as shown in the attached screenshots/HTML inspector).

It seems that the plugin detects the field type as taxonomy terms and therefore prevents the Numeric Range option from being enabled.

Could you please confirm whether Numeric Range filters are supported for taxonomy terms, and if not, whether there is any workaround or setting that would allow this?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards, Marcos

FE_support Author Team

Hi Marcos

To create a range slider filter from a taxonomy that contains only numbers, such as 10, 20, etc., without any additional symbols like 10$, 20%, and so on, all you have to do is: create a filter → choose “Taxonomy Numerical” (usually at the bottom of the list in the “Filter By” dropdown) → then select the required taxonomy.

Victor

Hi, your plugin is awesome, but can be better. I post some inspiration, would be cool if you take a look and maybe optimize your plugin. i like the filter of ikea: https://www.ikea.com/de/de/cat/badregale-hochschraenke-20804/

- also a right sidebar woudl be nice if you click on all filters. - also the styling of ikea is cleaner. you have a search field in the pulldown or the main topic has these ”-” on example “material” which is not editable…

- an all filter mobile friendly popup would be also great.

best regards

Hi rjaxx

Thank you for your suggestion. We really appreciate the link and the inspirational examples.

We’ll add it to the list so the development team can check it and find ways to improve the plugin based on those examples.

Hi there,

I’m experiencing an issue with Filter Everything Pro on a site using the Salient theme.

I’ve set up a custom post type “Courses” and created a filter set for it. I’m using the [fe_widget] shortcode on a custom page and have also tried using archive page to display the courses. However, the filters are not showing, and I see messages like “No one filter set is related to this page” or “No Courses lists found on this page.”

I have verified: The CPT is public and has an archive. The filter set points to the correct post type. The shortcode is added above the course listing on the page. It seems the plugin isn’t detecting the courses or the page properly when using Salient. Could you advise on how to get Filter Everything Pro to work correctly with this theme?

Thanks in advance.

FE_support Author Team

Hi simonpeyto

We have checked the site and added a filter set in the footer area: https://prnt.sc/MqcDoW_Oe1ND

That was the only place we could find to add a widget to display the filters on that page. You might want to add a widget on the left or at the top, depending on your preference.

However, this is the most unusual page views in the admin dashboard we have ever seen on any type of site, which is quite confusing.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi,

Thanks for helping me get the filtering working on the archive page.

I’ve run into one issue though. The Salient theme uses a single global template for all archive and post pages, which means my courses archive ends up sharing the same layout as my regular blog posts. I need the courses to have their own layout, without affecting the rest of the site, so using the archive template isn’t ideal for my setup.

Is using the archive page the only way to display Filter Everything Pro? Or is there any supported method to use FE Pro on a normal WordPress page, so I can build a separate layout just for the courses?

Any guidance would be really helpful.

Thanks again,

FE_support Author Team

Hi simonpeyto

You can apply it to any singular page. For example, you can create custom page templates in your child theme with WP_Query to display the required posts, then apply those templates to the desired pages. After that, create separate filter sets and apply it to the exact page in the “Where to filter” section. If it is a singular page, use “Pages + name of the page.”

Victor

Hello,

Some reason, the license key has stopped working. It was activated at the time of installation and suddenly I am getting this error.

Could you help look into this ?

Not sure why I am locked out.

Thanks.

FE_support Author Team

Hi nil2020

You don’t need active support time for license issues; we still provide support for such questions even if your support period has expired. In some cases (like yours), your hosting or provider is blocking the connection to the license servers, which causes the “unknown error” when you enter the license key and click the Activate button.

In such cases, we can activate it manually on your site with the required information. When you send all the data via PM to https://codecanyon.net/user/fe_support it is absolutely secure.

Can I separate these product attributes (that you see in the screenshot) from this Filter Set and display them elsewhere on the page? Ideally, I would like them to replace these panels. I tried creating a different Filter Set with only these attributes and displaying it elsewhere in the page but it gave me the same filters.

FE_support Author Team

Hi giannismilo

Actually, creating a separate filter set with only this filter is the correct way to do it. All you have to do is apply two filter sets on the same page, and then use two widgets or two shortcodes to display both filter sets on the page.

Victor

Thanks. It works fine now. I just have to stylise them to match my design.

Hello, I purchased Filter Everything PRO directly from CodeCanyon and I have 6 months of included support with my purchase.

However, the PRO features are not loading at all:

The plugin installs correctly

The license is activated

The pro/ folder is included

But none of the PRO functionality appears in the WordPress admin (no Shortcodes PRO, no PRO admin pages, no PRO filters, nothing)

It looks like the PRO loader is not being executed, or the package may be incomplete or corrupted.

Envato support told me that since I bought the plugin directly from CodeCanyon, the plugin author (you) is responsible for support and updates.

So please help me with:

Verifying whether my download package is complete

Providing the correct working PRO package if needed

Telling me how to properly enable/load the PRO functionalities

I just want the plugin to work as advertised under the purchased support.

Thank you.

Hello,

I need additional clarification regarding my issue with the PRO features not appearing in WordPress admin.

I have created everything correctly:

Filter Set is created

Custom Fields “lokacija” and “delatnost” are added as filters

The filter set is applied to the correct page

The post type “Usluge” is configured properly

However, the filters themselves (lokacija and delatnost) are NOT visible on the page at all, even though everything is set up exactly as in the documentation.

Additionally, it seems the PRO module is not fully loading, because the following features are missing:

Elementor Filter Widget (PRO)

The shortcode [fe_widget]

PRO admin panels and extra PRO settings

Additional PRO options inside the Filter Set editor

Because of this, I am unable to display the filters on the page in any way.

You previously confirmed that the installation is correct and that I have the PRO version, but:

✔ filter set works ✘ filters (lokacija / delatnost) do not appear on the front-end ✘ shortcode option is missing ✘ Elementor PRO widget is missing ✘ PRO settings are not visible

This means the PRO loader is not being executed, or the package might be incomplete.

Please confirm:

Whether my PRO package (v1.9.1) is complete and contains the Elementor widget + shortcode

Whether I need to download a fresh PRO ZIP from CodeCanyon

Why my custom field filters (lokacija / delatnost) do not render on the page even though they are configured correctly

I am unable to continue because without the widget or shortcode, the filters cannot be displayed at all.

Thank you!

FE_support Author Team

Hi officeclavisnet

Since you already have a page, this is much easier now. Could you please renew access to the site so we can set up a full example for you? Also, please attach the link to the exact page where you want the filters to appear.

Please send all data via PM as previously: https://codecanyon.net/user/fe_support

All set, but you need to add more posts to see the filtering results; having only one post won’t show much.

We edited the page via Elementor and added the Filters widget above the posts grid loop. (This widget can be found on the left side under the WordPress area in Elementor; it won’t appear in the Elementor search.)

Hello again, I also have another issue where the filter isn’t working correctly unless I’m logged into the WP dashboard

FE_support Author Team

Hi AmyEdwards

Basically, by modifying the code snippet that displays those posts, you can achieve this.

The easiest way is to feed your current code snippet to any AI like GPT or Grok and ask it to add such functionality. It will succeed in 90% of cases on the first try. This way, you can even extend it further to fit your requirements in a matter of seconds.

But please test code snippets on a staging site to avoid any fatal errors if the snippet is broken.

https://dcecpd.clyq.co.uk/online-cpd-events/

FE_support Author Team

Hi AmyEdwards

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

This issue with styles is caused by the custom CSS on the site, which is overriding the original filter styles. Unfortunately, custom styles and custom code are outside the scope of our support policy. If we disable some of the custom styling added to the filters, they will revert more or less to their original appearance: https://prnt.sc/PRo3lTCTU6Sl
