Hello, we are interested in getting our SEO rules dynamically added as part of the sitemap generated by Yoast; however, I see that the new update 1.9.2 is still not released and Yoast doesn’t pick up on those SEO rules we’ve created. I am wondering if there is a workaround with Yoast SEO or if there is a method to force these URLs to generate in our sitemap (generated by Yoast SEO). I would also like to know if there is an ETA on the next version? Look forward to the next update. Thank you.
Hi prostylewebdesign
Thank you for reaching out to our support team.
From the latest updates from the development team, they are planning it for January. We do not know if this information is 100% confirmed, but that is what they shared with us.
Hmm, there is no actual functionality that would be very helpful to pull this SEO data, as it was added only in version 1.9.2. This was quite a challenge, to be fair, since we were testing it as a support team as well. Therefore, there is no quick workaround to pull this type of data.
Please note that our support team is currently on holiday vacation until January 8, 2026. However, we will check in periodically (every 2–3 days) to provide responses where possible.

Hello, I’m testing the free version before upgrading to Pro, and I’m running into an issue.
When I’m using the Gutenberg editor, I don’t see an option to add the “Filter Everything” widget/block. However, I do see it available in the Widgets area.
I’m using the Blocksy Pro theme. In your video, you mention it should be accessible directly inside the Gutenberg editor the same way it is in Elementor, but that’s not what I’m seeing on my end.
Hi edgarlimon805
Thank you for your interest in the Filter Everything plugin.
Currently, in Gutenberg themes, you need to either use a shortcode: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/ or a custom widget area displayed on your page. Gutenberg widgets for filters will be added in future updates.

I am using Filter Everything PRO on a website running the Shoptimizer theme. I am trying to set up the Pop-up filter for mobile devices, but I’m encountering a major issue. The Problem: When I click the “Filters” button on mobile, the background becomes dimmed (the .wpc-filters-overlay div appears), but no filter content is displayed. It’s just an empty dark screen. What I have checked/done so far: I have enabled the “Pop-up Filter” option in the general settings. I have checked my Appearance > Widgets section, but the “Filter Everything Pop-up Sidebar” is missing (it was not registered automatically). I even tried to manually register the sidebar via functions.php using the ID wpc-popup-filters-sidebar, but the content still doesn’t inject into the pop-up. I checked the “Filter Set” settings, and the Pop-up option is enabled there as well. In the browser console, I can see the overlay div in the DOM, but the .wpc-filter-popup-content is missing or empty. Could you please check why the plugin is not registering the Pop-up sidebar and why the content isn’t appearing despite the PRO version being active? Environment: Plugin: Filter Everything PRO Theme: Shoptimizer WordPress Version: 6.9 Thank you for your help!

Hi marek145
We have checked the site, the issue is with mobile sidebar styles, if we change them, everything is displayed: https://prnt.sc/MyyDQYUyB8tq
We have added a small piece of CSS in the Filters > Settings > Experimental > Custom CSS section.
.wpc-overlay-visible .page-template-template-woocommerce-archives #secondary, .wpc-overlay-visible .wc-active.search-results #secondary, .wpc-overlay-visible .woocommerce.archive #secondary {
visibility: visible;
opacity: 1;
z-index: 999999;
}
In order to make it display well on mobile, you can follow that example for other cases if some pages are still not displaying it properly.

Hello, I am running WP 6.8.3 with WC 10.2.1 and FEP 1.9.1. When I activate filter everthing pro it dramatically slows my site speed on both the front and back end. It slows so much that the site is practically unusable. Site size is about 1000 parent products 2000 variations. Please advise- Josh
Hi Josh
Thank you for reaching out to our support team.
If you have a plugin called “Discount Rules PRO”, please try deactivating it and check whether the site works properly afterward. Let us know the results and whether the issue stops once the plugin is disabled (this is important infomation).
Also, please check whether there are crawlers or bots aggressively crawling your site, as this can cause high CPU spikes.

Hello Filter Everything support team,
I am using Filter Everything Pro together with WooCommerce and the Kadence theme (Pro).
On desktop everything works perfectly:
Filters are displayed in the normal sidebar (Widget Area “Sidebar 1”)
Filters work correctly on all product category archives
Each category has attributes and the correct filter set is assigned
Problem: On mobile, filters do not appear when using Kadence’s Catalog Off Canvas Sidebar.
What I see:
The off-canvas panel opens
Only plain text widgets are visible
The “Filter Everything — Filters” widget itself is not rendered
No filters are shown, even though the same widget works in the normal sidebar
What I already tried (step by step):
Enabled mobile popup mode in Filter Everything settings
Tested [fe_open_button] shortcode (it renders, but popup is empty)
Disabled Kadence Off Canvas Sidebar
Enabled / disabled “Hide opening widget buttons”
Placed Filter Everything widget in:
Sidebar 1 → works
Catalog Off Canvas Sidebar → does not work
Tested with and without AJAX
Tested on clean product category pages
Cleared all caches
So the conclusion so far: Filter Everything works in a normal sidebar, but not inside Kadence’s Off-Canvas Sidebar on mobile
This makes me think that:
The filter widget may not detect the WooCommerce loop/query when loaded inside a theme-controlled off-canvas container
Or the off-canvas sidebar is not compatible with how Filter Everything attaches to the posts container on mobile
My question:
Is Kadence Off-Canvas Sidebar officially supported?
Is there a required configuration for:
Posts container selector
Off-canvas compatibility
Mobile popup + third-party off-canvas themes
Do you have a recommended setup specifically for Kadence + mobile filters?
My goal is simple: Filters must be visible and usable on mobile — in any form (popup or sidebar), but preferably off-canvas.
If needed, I can provide:
Page URL
Screenshots
HTML structure
Posts container selector
Test access
Thank you in advance for your help.
Kind regards, Eric

I write to you yesterday, so waiting for response, about search. Question about search, because – filter search not good sorting by relevance, but when I turn WP search – it works good, but on search page – filters not showing.
Hi ars42
Thank you for reaching out to our support team.
The “srch” is used for the searching filter, for example, like on this page: https://demo.filtereverything.pro/search-and-filter/?srch=Apple
This is not a global search; it works the same way as a simple filter, for example, when you choose a filter term like “red” for a color on your page.
To display filters on the search page from the default WordPress search ( which for products is usually ?s=text_to_search&post_type=product ), you need to create a filter set and place it on Common WordPress pages + Search page.
Please note that our support team is currently on holiday vacation until January 8, 2026. However, we will check in periodically (every 2–3 days) to provide responses where possible.

Can you explain – how to do it?
“To display filters on the search page from the default WordPress search ( which for products is usually ?s=text_to_search&post_type=product ), you need to create a filter set and place it on Common WordPress pages + Search page.”
Because if we try to use standard WP search (not “srch”, but “s”), than searching working good – but filter widget not showing on searching page, only on catalog (shop) page.
we done it – “To display filters on the search page from the default WordPress search ( which for products is usually ?s=text_to_search&post_type=product ), you need to create a filter set and place it on Common WordPress pages + Search page.” neither filter widget not showing. But as I saw via code (dev tool) – widget exist, but not showing parameters.
Hi ars42
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 search page you are referring to where the filters do not display, so we can test it on that page.
Best Regards,
Victor
Sent you in DM
Already sent all information, waiting for your response, thanks!
Please, do not share our link to website – here in comments. Better to answer on my email, or answer here without links.
Hi ars42
We have checked the site, and the issue is with the search plugin, which uses its own search algorithms that may not be compatible with the filtering. Try disabling the Relevanssi search plugin, clearing the cache, and updating the filter set on the search page, then check if it is working.
Since you have a live site, we recommend testing everything on a staging site first, and only after you confirm it works, apply the changes to the live site. Your PM is closed to us, so we cannot send you a message via it.
You can send us your email via PM, and we will provide the answer there if that is more suitable.
Best Regards,
Victor
Yes, we did it, and filter showing on searching page.
But what we can do with relevance of searching? is it in your side? or how we can improve sorting?
our dev say that: “In fact, the search query displays posts that are rendered by the filter everything plugin
Although this may also be due to pagination”
Hi ars42
Since you already have a sorting widget on the search page where you can choose sorting options, selecting any of them (for example, ?orderby=relevance&paged=1&s=vtx&post_type=product ) seems to work correctly.
However, we cannot say for sure which exact parameters are used for relevance ordering. If relevance is based on a custom field (such as sales numbers or something similar), you can also use our own sorting widget: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/sorting-widget/ but after searching, you need to choose the sorting option.If you are referring to sorting products on the page in the pre-load state (before anything appears on the page) solely by modifying the query, this is not handled on the plugin side, as the plugin does not do that.
As an alternative, you can add the sorting widget to the page (you already have one), select the required sorting option, and use that GET parameter to apply the same sorting automatically during searching. This will result in a URL very similar to the one mentioned at the beginning of this message.
Best Regards,
Victor
We would appreciate your assistance or direction on how to proceed with this implementation. Please let us know if you need any additional details from our side
Hi juhishah
Thank you for reaching out to our support team.
By default, it uses WordPress search algorithms. To extend it, you need to apply custom code with specified custom fields. Please check this page for more information: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/search-filter-add-remove-restrict/
Best Regards,
Victor
We are using Filter Everything Pro on a WooCommerce website and followed your official documentation from this link:
https://filtereverything.pro/resources/search-filter-add-remove-restrict/Our requirement is to search products by custom fields:
HS Code (hs_code)
CAS No (cas_no)
These custom fields are created in the WordPress admin panel and saved as post meta for products (please see screenshots).
Issue Description
We created a Search filter in Filter Everything and tried to extend it using custom PHP code so that the search field also checks HS Code and CAS No.
However, filtering does not work when searching using HS Code or CAS No. Only product name / default search works. add_action(‘wpc_filtered_query_end’, ‘fe_custom_meta_search’, 10, 2); function fe_custom_meta_search( $wp_query, $filters ) { }
if ( isset($_GET['srch']) && $wp_query->is_main_query() ) {
}
$search_term = sanitize_text_field( $_GET['srch'] );
$meta_query = $wp_query->get('meta_query', []);
$meta_query[] = [
'relation' => 'OR',
[
'key' => 'hs_code',
'value' => $search_term,
'compare' => 'LIKE',
],
[
'key' => 'cas_no',
'value' => $search_term,
'compare' => 'LIKE',
],
];
$wp_query->set('meta_query', $meta_query);

Hello, we are waiting for your response.
Hi juhishah
We’d love to help, but unfortunately, we do not debug or provide custom code for extending the plugin beyond its current functionality, as this is outside the scope of the CodeCanyon support policy: https://prnt.sc/bBkDIrbjhPei
As a support team, we can provide general information, such as the availability of hooks to modify this functionality.
If you encounter difficulties implementing modifications to the search algorithm, please contact your site developer and share the relevant documentation page about the search functionality. This will allow them to write the required modified logic, either based on the examples provided in the documentation (which is highly recommended) or using their own approach.
The examples in the documentation are a crucial reference. It is important to carefully examine them and follow the same approach in your custom code, as missing even a small but essential part can lead to issues.
Especially parts like those ones:
if( $wp_query->get('flrt_query_hash') || $wp_query->get('flrt_query_clone') ){
if ( $wp_query->get('wc_query') === 'product_query' || $wp_query->get('post_type') === 'product' /* || $wp_query->get('post_type') === 'product_variation' */ ) {
global $wpdb;
The example already uses a hook to include product SKUs in the search, since SKU is a custom field and is not included by default.
You may also use AI tools by providing the full documentation and requirements to help generate custom code. This approach can be helpful, but you should still ensure you understand the code being implemented to avoid negatively affecting the site’s functionality.

Victor
We are using pro plugin and trying to put free input field to search on our custom post type using this setting:https://prnt.sc/dPhTjzPf5KP6
However, it is only getting result if search term match with post title. What we need it should get result from entire post data including post title, post taxonomy, post tags, post custom field as I have configured multiple fields on post detail.
Can you please help me how can I configure search this way?
Hi juhishah
Unfortunately, the instructions we provided earlier in this comment thread are still the same. To extend the search capabilities that are based on the default WordPress search algorithms, you need to write custom code to include the required entities in the required post types and count them during the search.
We can only recommend contacting the site developer or a freelance developer who can write this custom code for you in order to fit your needs.

Victor
FILTER CHIPS WITH TITLE
When placing widget for chips showing selected filters it shows only filter value. Is it possible to show for some filters also a title?
Because not all filters are self-explanatory. For instance, I have filter “Edition” that contains various numbers. Or for instance example from your demo page:
https://demo.filtereverything.pro/example/dropdowns/size-m/In url it is clear as selection is presented as key-value pair (size-m), but in selection chips it’s just a letter “M”. If you manage multiple filters that are not that self-explanatory – it becomes difficult.
Hi web-maverick
Thank you for reaching out to our support team.
You can modify the chips term name for an exact filter using custom code with the hook ‘wpc_chips_term_name’.
The hook:apply_filters( 'wpc_chips_term_name', $term->name, $term, $filter )

Hello,
I am using Filter Everything PRO with WooCommerce and I need clarification about using filters across two different pages.
My setup
The Shop page is the standard WooCommerce shop archive and already contains a Filter Everything filter set that works correctly.
I have a product attribute Brands (pa_marques).
I created Page A (a normal WordPress page, no product loop) that should display only a list of brands.
When a visitor clicks a brand on Page A, the visitor should be redirected to the Shop page, where the products are filtered by that brand.
Current behavior
Clicking a brand on Page A generates URLs like: /testmerk/brand-coca-cola/
The user stays on Page A.
The Shop page filter is not applied.
SEO Rules do not redirect to the Shop page.
Page A has no product loop, only brand links.
My questions
Is it officially supported to:
show filters (or brand terms) on Page A
but apply filtering on a different page (the Shop page)?
If yes:
Which feature should be used for this? (Alternative page, SEO Rules, or another setting?)
Does Page A need a product loop for this to work?
If no:
Can you confirm that filters must always be displayed on the same page where products are queried?
Thank you for your clarification.
Best regards, Hanne

I have the Filter Everything Pro version and have been successful in adding a filter to a few pages (one an Avada posts page and another custom post page). However, I went through the same process to add a filter to my site’s FAQs page created with the Avada FAQs page, and it is not showing up and is providing the message: “There are no filters in the Filter Set yet. Please add them to the Filter Set related to this page.”
I confirmed the filter is set to filter the FAQs.
Can I get some help?

We’re using filter everything PRO and trying to create some SEO rules. These rules are working and pulling through to the front end with an index, follow tag, but it looks like these pages aren’t internally linked to from the category page in a way Google can crawl, so aren’t being indexed. Is there a way we can either create a sitemap of these new SEO rules (we’re currently using RankMath) or another way we can tell Google these pages exist so they’re able to be indexed? I would be interested in knowing how others have set this up so these URLs can be properly indexed if you have that information.
Hi bofiracing
Thank you for reaching out to our support team.
In general, Google should pick up and index filtered pages with the created SEO rules without any issues. Usually, we receive more requests about how to disable the filtered pages from indexing.
Regarding the sitemap XML functionality, this will be introduced in version 1.9.2. Previously, it was mentioned that it should be released by the end of this month, but it will most likely be postponed. A lot of additional features were added, and many improvements are also planned for the free version. Since these are connected in one way or another, the development took much more time than initially expected. What was planned as a regular update gradually expanded with new features and core improvements, making the process longer.

Victor
Hi,
I am reporting a critical performance issue that is causing server crashes (OOM-Killer) on a WooCommerce store with approximately 20,000 variations.
After a detailed server audit, we identified that the filtering process generates massive transient records in the database. These records cause PHP-FPM processes to consume excessive memory (50MB–100MB+ per process), instantly exhausting our server’s 8GB RAM during traffic spikes.
Technical Diagnosis:
1. The “Cache Bloat” (Database & RAM bottleneck) We found specific transient keys in wp_options that are abnormally large (approx. 3MB each in serialized string format). When PHP unserializes these arrays, they expand significantly in memory.
Here are the specific keys identified as the root cause:
_transient_wpc_terms_post_meta_num__price (Size: ~3.01 MB)
_transient_wpc_terms_post_meta_num__price_product_variation (Size: ~3.01 MB)
_transient_wpc_posts_variations (Size: ~1.97 MB)
transient_wpc_variations_attribute_pa[attribute_name] (Size: ~1.76 MB)
2. Redis Failure We use Redis Object Cache. These keys are so large that they trigger connection failures (RedisException: read error on connection), forcing the server to fall back to SQL, which further increases the load (Load Average spiked to 107.0).
Is there a way to optimize how the plugin handles/indexes data for variable products? Storing such massive arrays in a single transient is not scalable for stores with this number of variations. Can we disable this specific caching mechanism or force the plugin to fetch data dynamically/in chunks?
We need a solution to prevent these 3MB+ transients from being generated, as they are effectively killing the server.
Hi wojtek45

We’ll pass it to the development team so they can check it.
Additionally, if something needs to be checked on the site as well, could you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document.

I’m not able to see the Filters in our WordPress instance with the Hello Theme and Elementor.
Request a refund of the purchase. Thanks
Hi SmithDasari_VDM
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
We are sorry to hear that you have encountered complications with the plugin setup. We have tested it with the Elementor theme and Elementor as well, so this is most likely just a configuration issue.
Can you please send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document. So that we can set up the example for you, please attach the exact page link where you are trying to display the files, and we will display it there.
In general, a refund is possible by submitting a form through the account where the plugin was purchased and waiting for a response. Please note that the support team does not handle refunds. Furthermore, we have no control over the refund team and cannot speed up the process or influence it in any way.

I have a website that I am trying to filter blog posts. I have the Filter Everything Pro and a filter setup on my category page for the posts. I see the filter with counts (i chose to use the dropdown), but when I select any of the filters, it isn’t filtering any of the posts. It still shows them all.
I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong with it. I am using the Avada theme and I added the shortcode to the top of the page. I see the posts and the filter, but the filter isn’t doing anything. I can provide a login to the site if that would help. Let me know.

Hi jhlarsen
We have checked the site, and the issue is related to WP Engine caching.
Please contact them to disable or properly configure the object cache so that it does not cache queries on the pages, or at least on the pages where you plan to use filters, in order to allow post filtering to work correctly.

Hello, filters urls like /en/news-events/_cat-corporate-news-or-corporate-successes-or-high-temperatures-or-self-lubricating/ are constantly requested by bots drowning our CPU. We need immediate fix for this!
Hi marxsvjetlana64
You can turn off the permalinks manager so the filters will use GET parameters with the following code snippet:
define( 'FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED', false );
After you add the code snippet, you can go to the filter set and click the Update button so the filters will use GET params.
Usually, bots do not crawl the GET parameters.
Best Regards,
Victor
where we need to add this?
You can use this plugin to add a PHP snippet: https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

Dear support team,
I have created a filter set using your plugin and it is working perfectly so far.
I do have a question regarding the product categories filter. At the moment, I am using a dropdown menu that displays all categories and subcategories, which makes the list very long and cluttered.
I noticed that it is possible to manually include or exclude specific categories. However, since our store contains hundreds of categories, configuring this manually would be very timeconsuming.
I was wondering if there is an alternative or more efficient way to:
limit the visible categories in the dropdown,
automatically group categories,
or include/exclude categories (for example based on parent categories).
Any advice or best practice for handling large category structures would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Kind regards, Michel
Hi Michel
If you want to hide category terms that have a count of 0, you can hide them all using this option: https://prnt.sc/rOJpOPj22eKC
Or you can use checkboxes, with a hierarchy option (it can be turned on from the “more options” menu when using checkboxes as a view for a category filter).
Also, you can use the hook “wpc_terms_before_display” with your own custom coding to remove the required terms from each page separately: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/hooks/
In the future, we are planning to add a hierarchy option to the dropdowns as well.
Best Regards,
Victor
Hello Victor,
I am not a developer, so please excuse me if my interpretation is not fully accurate, but I wanted to report something I noticed in case it helps.
On a WooCommerce site running Filter Everything Pro, I am seeing a recurring PHP warning in the logs every few seconds:
``` PHP Warning: Undefined array key “view” in /wp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/Entities/EntityManager.php on line 937 ```
This warning appears continuously while the site is running and may be contributing to increased PHP-FPM load on the server. I am not sure if this is expected behavior or a known issue, but since it is logged very frequently, I thought it would be safer to report it.
If you need any additional information (plugin version, WordPress version, WooCommerce version, or context to reproduce), I will be happy to provide it.
Thank you for your work and for taking a look.
Best regards,
Hi jbstnshopping
Thank you for reaching out to our support team.
This is a known warning, and there is a fix for this warning, which is included in the next update, 1.9.2.
If you know how to add changes to the plugin files, you can go to filter-everything-pro/src/Entities/EntityManager.php on line 937 and instead of this line:
$is_rating = ($filter['view'] === 'rating' && $filter['e_name'] === 'product_visibility' ) ? true : false;
Use this one:
$is_rating = (isset($filter['view']) && $filter['view'] === 'rating' && $filter['e_name'] === 'product_visibility' ) ? true : false;
Or you can send the credentials to the wp-admin dashboard following this document so we can add it.
In terms of functionality, it is not causing any issues as long as it is only a warning. The only impact it may have is that, if any logging functionality is enabled, the warning could be recorded in the log file. As a result, the log file may increase in size. However, in most cases, debug modes are disabled on production sites to avoid potential slowdowns, as the default WordPress debug log functionality can affect performance.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thank you very much for your reply. I just changed that line in the plugin.
I cannot figure out how to add a widget to display all search results. For example, on https://www.lookatlights.com/ when I check a box for a result that has more than 5 results, only 5 appear.
I know the directions say to go to Appearance > Click Widgets, but I do not have a Widget option when I go to Appearance in my WordPress dashboard.

If you are referring to the posts per page, this should be configured either in the general WordPress settings, or if it is displayed via a template or page builder, within that tool’s settings.
However, please note that none of these settings is related to the plugin itself; they are outside of the plugin’s functionality and are not handled on the plugin side.
Best Regards,
Victor
Thank you – I found the option for the posts per page. Do you have a suggestion for finding the Filter Everything Pro widget? When I press the + icon, then go to the widgets section, there is not a Filter Everything Pro widget, nor does anything show when I search using the search box within the blocks section.
As far as we can see, you are using a block-based theme (Gutenberg).
There are no Gutenberg widgets available yet, but they will be added in future updates.
In the meantime, you can use shortcodes instead: https://filtereverything.pro/resources/shortcodes/
If you need widgets in your theme to make certain functionality work (sorting widget), you can add a widget area to your theme either via custom code or by using a plugin that allows you to add one.
Here is a custom code snippet example, which adds to your theme a widget area if it doesn’t support it by default:
function custom_theme_widgets_init() {
register_sidebar( array(
'name' => __( 'Custom Sidebar', 'textdomain' ),
'id' => 'custom-sidebar',
'description' => __( 'Add widgets here.', 'textdomain' ),
'before_widget' => '<section id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</section>',
'before_title' => '<h2 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h2>',
) );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'custom_theme_widgets_init' );

Hello Filter Everything team,
I’m setting up filters on WooCommerce archive / collection pages and I’d like guidance on the best supported way to achieve the following layout and behavior using Filter Everything.
What I’m trying to achieve
Row 1: Category filter only – displayed as label-style “pills” – horizontal layout – always visible
Row 2: All other filters (Visual Style, Type, Size, Gallery Sets, etc.) – displayed horizontally – appear only after a Category is selected – update dynamically based on the selected Category
The filters themselves are working correctly in terms of logic and URLs — I’m specifically looking for the intended architectural approach to control layout and progressive disclosure.
My questions
Is there a recommended way in Filter Everything to display one filter on its own row, with the remaining filters on a second row?
Should this be done using:
one filter set, or
multiple filter sets placed separately?
Is there a built-in option or pattern for making a labels list render horizontally for taxonomy filters like product categories?
If progressive disclosure (Category first → other filters second) is desired, what is the best way to configure that using parent filters or filter sets?
I want to implement this in a way that aligns with how Filter Everything is designed to be used, rather than relying on workarounds.
Thank you for your guidance.
Best regards, Charlie
Hi Charlie
Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.
If you want to add styling where one filter spans the full width and another appears below it in a horizontally split column layout, custom CSS is required. You can place it in the Filters > Settings > Experimental > Custom CSS.
If you want to place one filter (for example, at the top of the page) and display all other filters vertically in the sidebar, you will need two filter sets on the same page. The filter widget has a horizontal layout option with the number of columns; in each column, there will be a separate filter, color, size, brand…
If you could send a link to an example of what you are trying to achieve, it would be easier for us to provide more accurate information.
Regarding filters appearing only after selecting certain filters: this is working as a global functionality for any filter term in a filter. If you have a category filter configured as the parent filter and all other filters set as its children, with the “hide until selected in parent” option enabled, the child filters will only be displayed after you select any term from the parent filter.
Best Regards,
Victor
