Hi, I’ve been using your plugin for a few years on https://dlwatersports.com/inventory/ and it’s been working great, however, recently for some reason the filters stopped showing up on the page. When logged in I see “No one Filter Set is related to this page. You can configure it in the Filter Set -> “Where to filter?” field.” but nothing has changed in the settings and it’s been working. There is only one filter set up so it’s not an overly complex site.

Here are my filter settings:

Apply filtering if the page is: PAGE | Sales (which has the /inventory/ slug)

And what to filter: Posts list <<products>> (Woocommerce products)

Priority 0 (but it’s the only filter on the site so not sure this matters much)

Any help would be greatly appreciated and I can provide administrator access if needed.

Credentials have been sent, thank you.

Hi alexwbrinkman

We have checked the site, and this is quite strange behavior. All we did was change the slug of this page and then revert it back to the original one, and now everything is displayed correctly. It is either some type of caching for product archive pages or specific functionality that is causing this issue. We are not sure yet, but most likely it is caching specifically for WooCommerce archive pages.

Changing the slug and then reverting it back could potentially clear the cache, which is why everything is appearing again.

Amazing, thank you so much for the quick turn around and fantastic support. Easily the best filtering plugin on the market! Thanks again!

Hi,

Thank you for your plugin, your help has been great so far to get our challenges sorted. Could you please let me know if it is possioble to exclude dropdown lists when they only have one entry? such as on the ‘bedroom furniture’ dropdown on the page below? It only has 1 x value ‘bunk beds’ which is the page we are on.

https://dev2025.dreambeds.co.za/product-category/stock/bedroom-furniture/bunk-beds/

We are finding that with the dropdowns , they only have one value which clicks back to the page you are on. Is this possible to be hidden such as with expty dropdowns?

The site owner has requested to see this, but we are uncertain how to achieve.

Please let me know if it is possble.

Thank you

Hi Victor,

Thank you for your reply. You can probably recall that you helped us with the challenge we were having with th pro version (we have both pro and standard installed, but have standard active).

I cannot recall doing any template override (this sounds above my skill level) and this could have happened during the help that you supplied to us.

I am not a programmer , so the solution is a bit strange. I have checked the documentation and will try to see how i can do it with the dropdowns on the site. I can see I have to edit the dropdowns.php , but honestly that is all greek to me and a bit much of a challenge in understanding.

Regards, Tarquin

Ah yes, we do remember that. So it makes sense now, it is using JS code to hide empty ones, as it is basically the PRO plugin’s default functionality.

Unfortunately, as a support team, creating the functionality you are looking for, or even providing an example, is beyond our skills. We can copy the original PRO plugin functionality, which is basically copy/paste, but creating something new that works in a completely different way is too technical. Usually, such custom features are handled by site developers, as they have much deeper programming skills.

Best Regards,
Victor

Thank you very much for th advice of the way forward.

Hi!

I am having a problem with filtereverything Pro:

I have a stock filter using _stock_status which does show the number of In Stock and Out of Stock items (when the counter is turned on)

However, when I select any of the options (In Stock or Out of Stock) it doesn’t filter the products.

Also the Price filter isn’t working but the urgent one is the Stock filter.

The other filters seem to be working correctly.

It says in here that my comment will be shown in the item’s comments page so I’m not sure how to send you the page’s URL and login info.

Hi svensanchez

Thank you for reaching out to our support team.

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 the stock status filter isn’t working, and the price filter as well.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi, I have sent you the credentials

Hi svensanchez

We’ve checked the site, and the issue was that the counter was not turned on to display the counters next to the filter terms.

The second issue was an incorrectly selected post list in the “And what to filter” area in a filter set.

Please check this screen, which shows that everything is working now: https://prnt.sc/xHi-ivgfgkWk

1. It is displaying the chosen filters.

2. There is an Edit button at the bottom of the filter widget. When you click it, it will send you to the exact filter set displayed on that page, so you can apply changes to the correct filter set. Sometimes it’s easy to apply changes to a different filter set, which means no changes will appear on the filter used on the required page.

Hello Stepasyuk, I changed the site and domain. I deactivated the license and Filter Everything PRO on the old sites. But, if I want to activate the license on the new site, I always get the message: This license key already used for two sites. How can I reset/remove the old sites from the license history? And activate it only on the new site. Thanks

Hi mirceacucos

Thank you for reaching out to our support team.

Please send the license key via PM: https://codecanyon.net/user/fe_support

So that we can deactivate it across all of the sites.

Best Regards,
Victor

The license has been deactivated across all of the sites.

Please try to activate it on the required ones.

Can the Apply and Reset buttons be set so that they are always visible when scrolling thru all the categories?

Hi krazykustomcribbagepegs

Thank you for choosing Filter Everything PRO.

If you are referring to whether there are any options to display the apply/reset buttons while scrolling the page, then at the moment this is not possible via the plugin functionality.

This will be added in a new update to make it more convenient.

Best Regards,
Victor

hello i cant acticate my licenze, can you help me?

Hi laurenakurt9

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.

Please let us know if this worked or not.

I have downloaded the Pro version, and am using Divi version 5. I have tried everything, and cannot get the filters to show up in my sidebar or via shortcode on a page. any help is appreciated.

Hello,

To prevent Search Console crawl errors on thousands of filter pages, I want to add  rel=”nofollow”  to all filter links.

I successfully added  rel=”nofollow”  to radio filter links by overriding the  radio.php  template. I added this line after  class=”wpc-filter-link” : $link_attributes .= ’ rel=”nofollow”’;

This works perfectly for radio buttons.

However, the same modification on  labels.php  for checkboxes doesn’t work. I added exactly the same line but checkboxes links still don’t have  rel=”nofollow” .

My main question is: how can I add nofollow to checkboxes links as well, and more broadly, how to apply it to ALL types of filter links (including any new ones I might create later)?

Thank you!

It has been tested many times since the release of template overriding, which was quite a long time ago, so it should work without any issues. We have even tested it ourselves again to be sure everything is working. So it can be only related to your exact setup on the site.

If you want us to check it directly on your site with your specific setup, you can extend the support time. Once that’s done, we will provide instructions on how to share the credentials so we can check this directly on the site.

Additionally, you can test it in an absolutely clean environment to see if it is working.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor,

Thanks for the confirmation!

I’ll test without checkboxes in a clean environment to isolate the issue.

If it still doesn’t work with my specific setup, I won’t hesitate to extend support so you can check directly on the site.

Have a great day!

Hi Six0onee

Thank you for the update.

Let us know the results from the clean environment.

Hi, we have the following case with the price filtering in your plugin. The price filter works correctly with the original prices set in the product price field in the admin, but since we use a tax class that adds 20% to the original price, in the frontend of the site, the product prices are with this 20%, and the filter shows products with different values. For example, we set a value of max 1000, but products with a value of 1200 are also displayed. Is there a possibility for the price filter to use the tax class that we have? If there is no such possibility, do you think it will be developed in one of the next versions of the plugin?

FE_support Author Team

Hi ruslanaangelova

Thank you for reaching out to our support team.

The tax solution proposed in this request: https://codecanyon.net/comments/31875528 should resolve this issue.

We just tested it on our end, and everything is working correctly with it.

Hi, filtering seems to have stopped working after latest wordpress update.

FE_support Author Team

Hi ckrumins

Thank you for reaching out to our support team.

We have just updated to the latest version of WordPress on the testing site, and all of the filtering is working: https://prnt.sc/NanF5PqFu5UG

Perhaps the issue is related to other updates on the site, such as caching, modifications of queries, templates, or similar changes. You can use the site backup with the last working setup and apply the other modifications from there to determine exactly what caused the issue.

If you want us to check the filtering setup directly on your site, we can do so with your credentials; however, this service is only available for users with active support.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi ckrumins

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 the filters are no longer working so that we can check it directly there.

We have checked the site. Could you please verify if the filters are working correctly now?

Technical Issue Summary for Support Topic: Filtering custom product loops on the Homepage (MODIFICACION SISTEMA PAMPA).

The Goal: We need to use Filter Everything to filter a specific selection of products (a custom set/particular products) displayed on the Homepage, while ensuring the filters still work correctly on the standard Shop/Archive pages.

The Problem:

Context Misalignment: When placing the filter widget on the Homepage, it doesn’t automatically “hook” into the custom product grid or shortcode we are using. It either does nothing or tries to redirect to the main Shop page.

Custom Query: On the Homepage, we aren’t using the “Main Query.” We are using a specific selection of products. We need the Filter Set to recognize this custom WP_Query or CSS ID.

AJAX Consistency: We need the filtering to happen via AJAX on the Homepage to avoid full page reloads that break the landing page experience.

Questions for the Support Team:

How can we manually associate a Filter Set with a specific product grid on the Homepage if it’s not the “Main Query”?

Should we use a specific Query ID in the filter settings? If so, how do we apply that ID to our product loop (shortcode or block)?

Is there a recommended PHP Hook or Filter to force the plugin to recognize the Homepage’s custom product container as the target for filtering?

How can we prevent the filter from redirecting to the /shop/ URL when applied from the Homepage?

Urgent: Critical Error when filtering “Particular Products” I need to emphasize a major issue: when we try to configure the filter to work with a specific selection of products (particular products) on the Homepage, the site triggers a Critical Error (PHP Fatal Error).

Observations:

The error occurs specifically when the Filter Set targets a page that doesn’t use the standard WooCommerce loop.

It seems like the plugin is trying to call a function on a null object or is causing a conflict with the WP_Query when it’s not the “Main Query”.

We need to know if there is a specific way to “initialize” the filter for custom product selections to avoid this crash.

Could you check if this is a known conflict with custom product IDs/shortcodes and how to debug the specific hook causing the crash?

FE_support Author Team

Please submit one request at a time, so we can fix it and move on to the next. The more questions included in a single request, the more confusing it becomes.

Lets start from the critical one, as it is the most imporatnt. Please include the error text.

Can you please send the credentials to the WP-admin dashboard following this document so we can check it?

Also, please include the link to the page where the fatal error occurs during filtering, so we can test it there.

Best Regards,
Victor

hey, we did elementor updates and it seemed to break our filter, select one filter and multiple apply according to the url, also some filter options showing 0 options

I have changed it from an accordion to a short code widget and it is still the exact same

nvm solved, thank you Victor

Hi kurtscholz

We are glad to hear that the issue was resolved.

Best Regards,

Please check the following: The headings above the filters are not working — they are not being displayed. Also, is it possible that when I select the upper filter on mobile (all except “Managing Director”), all Filter 1 options are hidden and only Filter 2 options are shown?

Please try this out, and if necessary, get in touch with me via email so that we can resolve it. I can also grant you access to the website if needed.

Thank you in advance.

Hi createdbygino

1) We have checked the site, and that helped a lot. You do have two filters in the filter set, but you are using a child/parent filtering system with the option to hide the second filter.

However, you also have the option enabled to hide empty filters. This means that if you select an option in the first filter that would display posts with no values in the second filter, the second filter does not appear at all, which is expected behavior.

We have changed the option to “always hide empty filter terms” and updated the logic for the first filter to “AND,” so you can only select one term from it. Since none of the terms contain the same posts in multiple terms, the rest remain hidden. This behavior cannot be limited to mobile devices only. It will work the same on the mobile and on the desktop.

2) Regarding the hidden titles, you simply have custom styles applied to hide them in Filters > Settings > Experimental > Custom CSS: https://prnt.sc/SMfGD32ZB06E

Best Regards,
Victor

Thank you so much for your good support! :)

I have one more little question for you, i send it just in a minute to the support DM as Video.

Thank you so much!

No, that is not a bug. This is just how the hover works: on desktop, when you move your mouse over the buttons, you might see them changing colors and other effects. On mobile, when you tap on a button, it stays active until you tap on another element. This is the only difference and the reason why it behaves this way.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi, Filter Everything (Acc. perry104) – Am trying to figure out why all product category filter sets counters zero’d out (Show counters Displays the number of posts in a term) – was working until I did a bulk edit on products within WooCommerce) – search results still working, just counters not showing) Am using multiple filter sets with shortcodes (Elegant Themes). Any help appreciated.

Thanks Victor… have tried those suggestions, problem persists. Have sent creds. Appreciate your help.

FE_support Author Team

We have checked the site, updated each filter set, and everything is working now.

The issue is that you chose the worst possible approach by placing everything under the product category taxonomy instead of creating separate attributes under Products > Attributes.

As a result, even though the filter sets are separate, they share the same filter, which causes changes to affect all filters when something is not working correctly in one filter set.

Best Regards,
Victor

ah, ok… appreciate it thank you!

Hi, is there a way to change from URL changing selected filters to query parameters? We are having a lot of issues with ai bots indexing thousands of “fake” pages due to available filter permutations.

FE_support Author Team

Hi jimward2

Thank you for reaching out to our support team.

You can use the next code snippet:

define( 'FLRT_PERMALINKS_ENABLED', false );

Then go to the filter set and click the Update button to turn off permalinks and use GET parameters for the filters.

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

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

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

Hi! I have a filter for a bikeshop. Everything works fine except for filter thru Woocommerce ProductTags. I can see the filter, but nothing happens when clicking the different tags.

FE_support Author Team

Hi CJG80

We have checked the site and deleted the tag filters across all filter sets. We also deleted all filter sets from the trash.

Then we created a new tag filter in the Advanced Filter Set, and it seems everything is working now. The previous filter was not registered, most likely because there were two product tag filters using different prefixes, which is not possible. We’re not sure how that happened.

Please check and confirm that the product tag filters are now working correctly.

Hi support

I have an FE Pro license and have a really weird problem(s).

I have a multi-lingual/ multi-currency site, using WooCommerce, Elementor Pro, and the Astra Pro Theme.

My issues are (I did try to search on the forum, but it is pretty useless to search for anything specific):

1. I have a filter set for the shop page, and I wanted to have a Product Category Hierarchy within it. However, the hierarchy only shows the parent category – there is a + to expand the tree, but it doesn’t work. There are no children categories.

In the console, I have the following error:

jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1:2 Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: . at I.error (jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1:2:11769) at Y (jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1:2:17234) at ne (jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1:2:19293) at re (jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1:2:20522) at I (jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1:2:7520) at Function.matchesSelector (jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1:2:11454) at Object.add (jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1:2:37797) at Object.<anonymous> (jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=3.4.1:2:9827) at Object.add (jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=3.4.1:2:1582) at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (jquery.min.js?ver=3.7.1:2:37118)

2. There is a WooCommerce Product Hierarchy always being displayed in the sidebar below the filter – it just won’t go away! Any idea of how to stop it from showing?

3. I have a price filter, which works well for the main site (GBP), but if I switch to one of the multilingual options, it stays in GBP rather than the new currency of the page/language – how to resolve this?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Chris

FE_support Author Team

Yes, absolutely. At the end of the day, the goal is to make the plugin compatible with as many other plugins as possible.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor

I have reviewed and checked out the two multicurrency plugins you propose, both have severe limitations in the free versions, plus they are not as nice to use as MCML in my opinion.

Can you give me a pointer as what I need to do to get filter everything price filter to work with MCML?

Many thanks

Chris

Hi Chris

You can check how it is configured with the other mentioned plugins in the following file: /wp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/wpc-third-party.php

To make it work, it will require writing custom compatibility code for WCML.

As an alternative, you can wait for the official compatibility. At the moment, we do not have exact dates for when this will be included.

Best Regards,
Victor

Hi Victor, sorry I haven’t gotten back to this topic until now. In my last request, you mentioned that it was possible to filter by range in a numeric field, and that I should select it in the filter type selector. I see the option, but it’s disabled, as are the date and rating options. The attribute I want to filter only has numeric values.

FE_support Author Team

The only change you need to make is in the 4th step: choose your own attribute.

Best Regards,
Victor

Thank you so much for your help. I wasn’t applying the first filter correctly.
