This is the page where I’ve added the filters, but they aren’t working. It shows the following PHP warning: ‘Undefined array key “cols_count” in /nas/content/live/sunvalleyhike/wp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/Admin/Widgets/FiltersWidget.php on line 544.’ How can I fix this?
Hi Seakitten
If you are using the PRO version of the plugin, please make a request from the account where the plugin was purchased.

This plugin was purchased by our recent developer and now we are not in connection with him.
Unfortunately, in this case, you need to send a support request directly to your developer, as they are the sole legal owners of the license and can obtain support.
If you only have an activated copy of the plugin on your site without the actual account where the plugin was purchased, unfortunately, you do not have PRO support. Only users with an actual account where the plugin was purchased and active support time have access to the PRO support.

Victor
Hello support, please check my comment and help, I have purchased the plugin, so now I have PRO support too.
Hi Seakitten
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

Hi Victor,
I have shared the credentials via personal message. Please check.

We have checked the site, and this is a typical WP Engine caching. Please contact their support and ask them to either turn off the Object Cache or configure it so that it does not cache queries on the pages. This way, you will be able to filter your posts without any issues.
Currently, if you go to a filtered page and click on a filter that displays, for example, 3 posts, and then refresh the page, nothing will change.
However, if you go to the WP Engine cache cleaning window without closing the filtered page and simply click to clear the cache and perform a hard reload on the filtered page, you will see the correct 3 posts: https://prnt.sc/ye1YV9N0t5XB
After that, even if you remove the filtering, you will still see those 3 posts ( as it is right now: https://prnt.sc/ye1YV9N0t5XB ) because the query has already been cached and only the cached version is being served until you clear the cache again.
Best Regards,
Victor
We have connected with the WP Engine support team too, they have asked us to confirm the issue from the plugin support as this is the issue from the plugin’s side. I am getting no solution from both the end. and as per your screenshot, it displays 3 posts, but I have shared the link with displaying all posts and only the filters were not woking!
Please ask WP Engine support to fully turn off the Object Cache and then test the filtering. You will see that after they turn it off, everything will work correctly without any issues.
If they say that this is not possible on the staging site, which can happen, as we have encountered such responses before, you do have the ability to turn it off on the live site.
There is nothing that can be done on the plugin side to disable caching provided by the hosting itself.

Hi,
Thank you for your help so far, filter dropdowns are looking good. I have one question about a reset button for the filters. How can I place one or achieve one? Thank you.
Regards, Tarquin
Hi Tarquin
Can you please specify which reset button you mean? Usually, we are using the chips widget for that: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/chips-widget/
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi, On the exmple page there is a ‘reset all’ button. I can see how they are doing it with the wordpress builder, however we are using divi and their builder. I am using code below in Divi to generate the filters. [fe_widget show_count=”yes” horizontal=”1” columns=”6” /]
What fe_widget option would I place here to show the reset all button which I saw on the example page? Currently I am not seeing any reset button.
If you can send the link to the exact demo page where you saw it, we can tell for sure.
Chips are a separate shortcode [fe_chips]: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/
The Apply/Reset button is a setting in the filter set. This mode works as follows: when you select filter terms and hit the Apply button, the filter is activated.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thank you
Yes, so the shortcode [fe_chips] or a widget “filter everything – chips” is not working on your site? Or what is the exact issue?
Best Regards,
Victor
Thank you very much for pointing that out, I was under the impression they were part of the code piece I added, thank you for pointing that out. I added your code and got it working.

Hello, I’m trying to filter by custom taxonomy for a custom post type. On the page I have the filters on the top and two Elementor Loop Grids: The first grid is showing posts from category X and the second grid is showing posts from category Y, when I try to filter it doesn’t actually filter the posts and the url changes to https://nerlazadik.co.il/kuntress_audio/breslev_kuntres_cat-%d7%96%d7%99%d7%95%d7%95%d7%92/
The selector is ”.elementor-widget-loop-grid .elementor-loop-container” because I want to filter both grids.
My category taxonomy is hierarchical and but all terms are on the same level, there are no child terms.
The filter query for the first grid essentially needs to be: Get posts from Catagory X and Filtered_Term
The filter query for the second grid essentially needs to be: Get posts from Catagory Y and Filtered_Term
What should I do to get this to work? Thanks
Hi ner51672
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
When you create a filter set, there is an option called “And what to filter.” In that dropdown, you choose which post list (query) will be filtered.
Since you have two separate queries on the page, you select which one will be filtered. It only works with one query at a time and cannot filter multiple queries simultaneously.
As a workaround, you can duplicate the filter set, apply it on the same page, and choose a different query. The filters will work and filter the queries together; however, the counters will not display the combined totals from both queries.

Victor
I can’t get pagination working correctly. I am using Elementor Essential Addons (Woo Product Grid) and the Filter Everything Plugin. When I enable pagination on my product grid, it seems to work correctly, but when you navigate to the second page of products through pagination, the filters no longer are applied. Can I please get some help on this – thank you

I just purchased Filter Everything but am having trouble. I have a Wordpress site using WooCommerce and the products are classes and events through the FooEvents Plugin. I believe I installed the plugin correctly but have not be able to get the filters to work.
The filters are based on attributes. They are reading the attributes and counting the classes correctly. I click on a filter or two and click apply… it seems like the site is doing something but the classes do not change. Please advise.

Hi austinwaldo87
We have checked the site and updated the post lists here: https://prnt.sc/g7vgQfhmxkTN and everything now seems to be filtering correctly.
Additionally, we deleted the price filter and created a new one. The correct meta key for the WooCommerce price field is _price not price
Please check if everything is working correctly.

FilterEverythingPro seems to be crushing my web host’s server (SiteGround), blowing CPU demand through the roof – so much so that SG temporarily tuned my site off – an e-Commerce site, and it happened on Black Friday. 
With the plugin disabled, SiteGround reports CPU demand at between 1,000 and 2,000 CPU seconds per hour. With the plugin enabled, CPU demand jumps to almost 20,000 CPU seconds per hour. Disabling the plugin again drops the demand back to normal levels.
The site is a WooCommerce on WordPress site with about 19.5K products (so a lot) – which is why we want to add filters.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
On my website page https://dev2025.dreambeds.co.za/product-category/stock/home-furniture/How do I remove the search box at the top of the filter dropdown?
The search is unchecked in the options, yet it is showing.
Thank you, Tarquin
Hi Tarquin
Just in case we duplicated the previous answer here about that search field in the dropdowns.
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;
}
To sum this up, the search field in the dropdown is not a feature from our plugin; it is a feature of the Select2 library. It is not connected to the plugin settings.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor, Thank you very much, that helped and I managed to eliminate the search box.

Hi arnaldoanez
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?
Also, please attach the link to the exact page where these grayed-out terms are appearing so we can check it.
Best Regards,
Victor
OK I already sent the credentials, thanks.
We have checked the site, and if you go to Products > Attributes and look at the attribute terms, you will notice that they all show 0 counters.
This means that none of the attributes are actually applied to any of your products: https://prnt.sc/t4TFor-xkeZU
You need to apply them to your products first, in order to have them as filter terms.
Best Regards,
Victor
But I need another Brands filter set, which is already in place. I can’t even make a new one? My products will not use attributes. I just need to filter by Brands and Categories
Also, there are 5 “Tags” options. why so many? how come there is no “Brands” option anymore?
Hi arnaldoanez
We have created one category filter and one brand filter. Inside the same filter set, you can create only one filter from the same entity. What does that mean? It means that if you create a filter from the brand taxonomy, you cannot create another one in the same filter set, at least not yet.
You can create another filter set and place it on the same page using one more filters widget or a shortcode to display both filter sets on the page. However, could you please explain the idea behind multiple filters from the same brand taxonomy?
Regarding the number of tags and categories, this is likely coming from other custom CPTs on the site that are not specifically assigned to a particular post type or are somehow different, not as it would be done by default in WP, which is why you can see multiple tags and categories that aren’t connected to the product post type.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hello. I have a problem with the filter logic “OR” when I select two values of the product attribute in the filter on the shop page. For exampIe I have the attribute color and two values white or black and I can see only black products. I use the Elementor widget “Loop Grid”. I have no problems on product category pages.

Ok. I found the solution. I used one Elementor template for the shop page and for product categories archive. And I used a Query Source “Current Query”. But I need to use the Query Source “Products” for the shop page and the filter logic “OR” will work correctly.

Hi, sorry to put another note here while I already sent one, but to add to the previous request
It appears that the ‘select bed length’ or title of the dropdown is duplicating on the dropdown, so you see 2 x headers ‘select bed length’ and the one seems to have a rollover of sorts (white) , not too sure why that duplicated.
Thank you for assistance. Regards, Tarquin
Hi Tarquin
That can happen when the wrong AJAX container is used. Basically, if the container class or ID is not unique on the page and is repeated multiple times, it can cause this behavior. We recommend checking without using AJAX filtering to see if everything works correctly. If it does, then you need to use a unique container class or ID.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi Victor, We previously spent time with the container name which you helped us with to make it unique and reference correct. It was working great.
We added some css to make the dropdowns thinner.
We have not added any or changes the containers and have only been working on the filters css, so I do not think container names would be at play.
Ajax filtering works but the dropdown issue still appears the same, however the challenge was not with filtering , it was with ther behviour of the dropdown
So we have not changes any container settings or reference and I am quite lost with the solution or the correct challenge
Can you please send the link to the exact page with this issue, along with full step-by-step instructions on what we should do to reproduce it?
On the page with the previous search input, we didn’t notice any issues during filtering. However, we might have missed something, so detailed instructions will help us reproduce the issue accurately.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hi, Thank you, I understand. Please do the following:
Go to: https://dev2025.dreambeds.co.za/product-category/stock/bedroom-furniture/Elect the ‘Bed type’ dropdown and scroll through the options. You should see the ‘select bed type’ header gets highlighted with a white box (and white text). the other options are highlighted in light orange so the white is not as per the rest of the buttons).
I am not sure where the challenge is comign in.
Thank you very much for your help. Please let me know if you still cannot replicate, thank you,
Regards, Tarquin
Also – the search box on the dropdown ,the option to show it is turned off in the pro plugin, however it is showing the search box in the dropdown for some reason (sorry to put in in a 2nd reply))
If you are referring to the light gray background color in the dropdown: https://prnt.sc/Z3ElIPoc_jeZ
It comes from the default CSS styles. Since you applied your own styles, you need to adjust them as well to remove that color.
The dropdown search field for filter terms is not connected to our plugin’s functionality. It is a default Select2 library feature. You can see it on the Select2 site: https://select2.org/getting-started/basic-usage
Here is an image showing the same field: https://prnt.sc/JV-ZSEJ3FMPD from the Select2 library page. This search field cannot be turned on or off by our plugin, so as mentioned, you can hide it with custom CSS.
Best Regards,
Victor
thank you, I will try that

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.

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
On the products page, filters appear and work correctly because they are placed on this page in the Filter Set “Where to filter” settings.
You should place filters only on the required page, not globally across all pages, to avoid potentially slowing down your site. This is why filters appear in the Product Finder when you are on this page: https://staging.project-in-progress.com/prakash-chemical/product/
The second page, without filters applied to it, is: https://staging.project-in-progress.com/prakash-chemical/ this is why there is an empty space.
We recommend placing in the Product Finder only a link to the page with all products, so filters are applied only on that page and correctly filter your products.
Alternatively, you can create multiple copies of the Filter Set to place it across different page types to make it always appear in the header, but we do not recommend this approach for site speed optimization.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hello, We currently have a working product filter on our product listing page. However, we would like to implement a global “Product Filter” button in the site header that opens a popup (as shown in the attached screenshot).
ss: https://prnt.sc/chxmOZryIzpi
The requirement is:
When users apply filters through this popup from any page other than the product page, clicking the “Process” button should redirect them to the product page with the selected filters applied.
Could you please provide guidance or the recommended approach to implement this functionality?
Hi juhishah
In that case, you need to create a redirection filter set: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/typical-problems/#redirection_filter_instruction
The alternative location determines where this redirection filter will be displayed, so you need to duplicate this filter set multiple times to cover all possible page types (in order to make it visible on all of the pages). Currently, there is no global option to display it across all pages, but it is planned for future updates.
Best Regards,
Victor
We have set the popup filter globally as per your instructions from the provided link, and it is working as expected. However, we are facing an issue: the header popup design appears differently on the Home page compared to the Product page. Home page popup design: https://prnt.sc/Cn7yTwRWf0Sp (Shown as per our design) Product page popup design: https://prnt.sc/kh1IVJZesQK1 Additionally, the product sidebar design has changed after applying the popup logic. Previously, we had checkboxes, but now a dropdown is appearing. Our original design: https://prnt.sc/gyRAyvpS7PWN Design after applying popup filter: https://prnt.sc/W8-NHPUVACU- Note: Product sidebar widget number: 3810 Global filter on header widget number: 7533
Could you please guide us on what might be causing this issue?
There is a Priority setting at the bottom of the filter set settings. It defines which filter will be displayed first. We set one of the filter sets to 1, so it appears in the header immediately, as it is first in order (on product page). You can modify the others as well to fit your needs.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hello Team, We have set the priorities as per your guidance: Search Filter Global Popup – Priority 1 Product Data – Priority 2 Product Data for Search – Priority 3 However, we are still not getting the expected results. Issues Observed: Product Page Popup: Screenshot: https://prnt.sc/t1F0q5BJdyVT The search option near the “Sort By” block on the product page is no longer visible. On the Home page, the popup filter is not visible: Screenshot: https://prnt.sc/2-kyV_0TgCKB On other pages, the header popup is visible. ( https://prnt.sc/tQt84o-bDZ-i ) Staging Details were shared with you earlier Could you please guide us further or help us in fixing this issue?
Filter sets with the highest priority are displayed first. According to the logical exclusion, the filter set in the header, which is the redirection filter set, should have the highest priority to always be displayed in the header.
The second should be the one with the filters that are displayed on the product pages. As for the third one, we are not sure what type it is, it seems related to the search field, but we do not know where it is displayed.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hello Team, We have set the priorities as per your guidance: Search Filter Global Popup – Priority 1
(This filter displays the header popup) Product Data – Priority 2
(This filter should appear in the sidebar) Product Data for Search – Priority 3
(This block should display near the “Sort By” section on the right side, above the product list) Issues: On other pages, the header popup is displaying correctly. However, it is not showing on the Home page, and it appears differently on the Product page. Additionally, the search block is not visible on the Product page. We have already provided the staging details. Please review and help us resolve this issue. Could you please guide us further or help us in fixing this? Thanks.
Hi juhishah
The issue is that you would need to create a filter set for the home page, the search page, the product page, the posts page, any singular pages, and so on. This is why the best option is simply to add a link in the header that directs users to the product page, where they can filter everything, rather than trying to display a redirection filter on every page in the header.
However, this functionality will be added in future updates to allow the redirection filter to appear on any page; currently, there are only workarounds.
Best Regards,
Victor
I want to apply this filter site-wide in the header on every page, post, custom post type, and the home page.
The single filter I am creating should load on all pages. Currently, I have tried setting it up, but it’s not working as expected. I created two filters: one for posts, which only appears on individual post pages, and another set to “Pages – any,” which appears on all pages except the home page. When selecting the location, I tried to find an option that would allow the filter to appear across the entire website, whether it’s a post type, archive, or any page but I don’t see any such option. Please refer to the screenshot in this link: https://prnt.sc/mQs_I6i2_jEd
Could you please guide me on how I can create a global filter for the header?
Hi juhishah
Create as many filter sets as required, and place them on all pages you can see in the “Where to filter”. This will cover every page type on your site.
Pages + any pages, posts + any posts, products + any products, and so on utill you have a filter set for them all, including taxonomies, etc.
Best Regards,
Victor
So just to confirm, does this mean I need to create 8–10 separate filter sets for each page or post type?
I am not sure this is the ideal approach. If I ever need to make a small adjustment to a filter, I would have to update all 8 versions individually, which could be inefficient. Ideally, I would like to set up a single filter that can be applied everywhere.
Could you please help me with this, or guide me on how to achieve it?
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?
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

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?
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.
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
Best Regards,
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.

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:.productstry 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.
We need something like this https://demo.filtereverything.pro/step-by-step-filtering/
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.
