Hello,

We are experiencing severe performance issues on a WooCommerce website using Filter Everything Pro.

The website became extremely slow and repeatedly returned 504 Gateway Timeout errors, including when accessing /wp-admin/.

The Apache and nginx logs contain repeated errors such as:

AH01075: Error dispatching request to : (polling)

and:

upstream timed out while reading response header from upstream

The access logs also show many crawler and bot requests to filtered URLs containing multiple filter values, for example URLs using parameters such as:

?behoeften-allergieen=... &zwangerschap-babys=...

As a test, I disabled Filter Everything Pro by renaming the plugin directory through FTP. Immediately afterwards, the 504 errors stopped occurring. The website is still slower than expected, so we are also asking the hosting provider to investigate PHP-FPM and slow MySQL queries.

Environment:

WordPress 7.0 WooCommerce 10.8.1 Filter Everything Pro 1.9.1 Botiga theme with a child theme

Could you please advise:

- whether there are known performance issues with this version;

- whether large numbers of crawled filter combinations can cause expensive queries;

- which plugin settings could reduce the database load;

- whether filter URLs can be restricted or prevented from generating expensive queries for bots;

- what logs or debug information you need to investigate this further?

We currently need to keep the plugin disabled because enabling it causes the website to become unavailable.

Hi,

I tried creating a price filter with our current setup but it doesn’t seem to work. We have the apply filters checkbox checked.

I added a filter for custom field: numeric – _price Slider checked. Ranges added.

It works when we adjust the slider; the apply filters button recognizes the changed filter selection and recalculates the count.

Same goes for when we change the value in the two regular input boxes.

But when we select one of the ranges we defined, nothing gets recalculated. Manually scrolling down to click on the apply button also just reloads the page, but not with the products for that range.

Is this a known bug or did we do something wrong in the configuration of our filter? PRO version 1.9.4

I have a problem: when I filter by one of the main categories in my store, it doesn’t show all the products in that category. For example, if I filter by “Industrial,” it shows 10 products, but there are actually 37. Here is the link to my store: https://todoagua.com.uy/tienda/categoria-industrial/

Bug: After upgrading from version 1.9.2 to 1.9.4, a Filter button appears at the top of all mobile pages where the page type is “page”. This button is not displayed on the desktop version.

Hi, since version 1.9.3 it seems to have broken filters that are displayed on a different page. it now says no terms found.

I have a filter which is applied to the post type vehicle archive and displayed on homepage. But not the homepage filter which is displayed by shortcode says no terms found.

Any ideas? Cheers Adam

Hi,

I’m trying to add the filter everything button to both the desktop and the mobile. Currently I am using code

// Hook directly into the WooCommerce shop loop add_action( ‘woocommerce_before_shop_loop’, ‘simplay_add_mobile_filter_button’, 15 );

function simplay_add_mobile_filter_button() { // 1. Safety check: Never show on the Homepage if ( is_front_page() || is_home() ) { return; } } So it appears everywhere except the homepage template>

// 2. Render official filter button shortcode on all shop loops
echo do_shortcode( '[fe_open_button]' );

But now I want it to also appear on the desktop

Desktop has a side bar but I want to remove that to make more room for the images and make the images bigger to look like this

I can remove the sidebar but then I get the error

There is no filter widget with ID 60139 on this page

Kind Regards,

Matthew Simplay

I have created filtersets and SEO rules and but when I try to generate XML sitemap it says the following:

“Fout: Er zijn geen URL’s gevonden voor de XML-sitemap. Maak filtersets en SEO-regels aan voordat je opnieuw de XML-sitemap genereert.”

(I have read all other comments and don’t see a solution there, I have checked the Indexing settings and those are enabled).

Also, it seems my SEO rules don’t even work… when I check the page source the SEO title doesn’t show when I search for the tag <title>.

Filter with multiple category selection works on a normal page but not on the Home.

Hello,

The filter with multiple category selection works on a regular page but not on the homepage.

It works on this page: https://limousin.eus/soluciones-packaging/ It doesn’t work on the homepage, which is built with the Enfold theme: https://limousin.eus/ I have AJAX enabled.

What could be the problem?

Thanks.

Hello, I am using Filter Everything Pro to filter vehicles with Divi 5. When Filter Everything is enabled, I encounter an issue with the Divi 5 cache that breaks the layout of the cards in my vehicle listing grid. The problem disappears if I disable Filter Everything. I am using ACF Pro fields and the Divi Loop function. It works for a few hours, but it seems the Divi cache isn’t clearing when Filter Everything is active. Can you help me?

Sorry for the double message. When I log into staging, with Version 1.9.4, the same issue occurs. Cant add categories to the latest post widget in widgets.

Showing these errors on the production page: (Version 1.9.4)

“wpc_chips_widget” block was affected by errors and may not function properly. Check the developer tools for more details.

Error notice The “wpc_chips_widget” block was affected by errors and may not function properly. Check the developer tools for more details.

Hello. We are using Version 1.9.4 on production with the same result. We only have one license so, the update was not available on staging.

To be specific this is occurring on production using Version 1.9.4 So I can’t update it and relieve the issue as you recommend.

Please Advise.

Hello. Login credentials have been sent including link to image showing exact issue. Thank you.

Hello. I am noticing that when Filter Everything Pro is activated, I can no longer add categories to widgets >> latest posts. “The “recent-posts” block was affected by errors and may not function properly. Check the developer tools for more details.”

Please let me know if you have a solution to this.

I am wanting to know about a setting in Filter Pro under Ajax settings, i enabled it but it says i need something in the results container. what is that?

Hello team,

I have the same issue as other users. I already sent the login credentials via DM.

After updating Filter Everything Pro to 7.0.2, our entire site went down with a critical error on every front-end request. Deactivating the plugin restored our site too. Error (from debug.log):

HTML PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function is_plugin_active() in wp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/wpc-third-party.php:1062 Stack trace: #0 wpc-third-party.php(1072): flrt_check_breakdance() #1 wpc-helpers.php(64): include_once(’...’) #2 filter-everything.php(79): flrt_include() #3 filter-everything.php(298): FlrtFilter->init() #4 filter-everything.php(305): flrt_filter() #5 wp-settings.php(520): include_once(’...’)

Hi team, After updating Filter Everything Pro to 7.0.2, our entire site went down with a critical error on every front-end request. Deactivating the plugin restored the site. Error (from debug.log):

HTML PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function is_plugin_active() in wp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/wpc-third-party.php:1062 Stack trace: #0 wpc-third-party.php(1072): flrt_check_breakdance() #1 wpc-helpers.php(64): include_once(’...’) #2 filter-everything.php(79): flrt_include() #3 filter-everything.php(298): FlrtFilter->init() #4 filter-everything.php(305): flrt_filter() #5 wp-settings.php(520): include_once(’...’)

Root cause: The new flrt_check_breakdance() function calls is_plugin_active() at line 1062. That function is defined in wp-admin/includes/plugin.php, which is not loaded on front-end requests during plugin bootstrap (wp-settings.php → plugin load). So on the front-end is_plugin_active() is undefined and throws a fatal error, taking the whole site down. It only works in admin context, which is likely why it passed testing. Suggested fix -> guard the call by loading the plugin API first:

HTML function flrt_check_breakdance() { if (!function_exists(‘is_plugin_active’)) { require_once ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/plugin.php’; } if (!is_plugin_active(‘breakdance/plugin.php’)) { return false; } ... } (We’ve applied this patch locally to get the site running, but would prefer an official release so we’re not re-patching on every update.) Environment: WordPress on PHP 8.x (RunCloud/Nginx). We do not have Breakdance installed, if that’s relevant. Could you confirm and ship a patched release? Thanks.

Hi there, Since we updated WordPress V7.0.2 today, we have recieved a critical error on our site

Hello Filter Everything Support,

I’m having an issue getting the Sorting Widget to work with Filter Everything PRO 1.9.3.1.

My setup WordPress (latest) WooCommerce Elementor (free) Filter Everything PRO 1.9.3.1 Custom WooCommerce shop page built with Elementor Using the Products widget (not the WooCommerce Archive Products widget)

I already have Filter Everything working correctly for product filters using:

[fe_widget]

The filters display and function properly.

The problem

I’m trying to add a Sort By dropdown using:

[fe_sort]

However, the shortcode always displays:

There are no Sorting widgets on this site yet. Please, create it first.

and

Wrong Sorting widget id. Please, specify the correct.

What I’ve already tried Updated Filter Everything PRO to version 1.9.3.1 Added the Sorting block under Appearance → Widgets → Main Sidebar Saved/updated the widget area Confirmed the Sorting block exists in the Widgets editor Cleared my cache Refreshed Elementor The filtering functionality continues to work normally

Unfortunately, the Sorting widget does not appear to register, and the [fe_sort] shortcode still reports that no Sorting widget exists.

Additionally, after saving the Sorting block, the Widgets editor sometimes displays:

This block has encountered an error and cannot be previewed.

My question

Is there an additional setup step required when using the Sorting Widget with an Elementor Products widget?

Does the Sorting widget require a specific widget ID or shortcode parameter that isn’t mentioned in the documentation?

Could this be a compatibility issue with the WordPress Block Widgets editor or Elementor integration?

If this is a known issue, is there a recommended workaround?

Thank you for your help. I’m happy to provide additional information, screenshots, or access details if needed.

Kind regards,

I want to give you a heads up on an issue. We just updated to 1.9.3.1 from (1.7.x) and we got this error. We are using Divi theme (version: 5.8.1): PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare modify_specific_module() (previously declared in /.../wp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/wpc-third-party.php:1044) in /.../wp-content/plugins/filter-everything-pro/src/wpc-third-party.php on line 1044

It bricks the whole site. I fixed it by setting up a `function_exists()` check and it solved it for me, however I don’t know what’s the underlying issue.
