Filter Everything - WooCommerce Product Filter

Version 1.9.7 — 22 September 2026

• Security A security fix related to the Elementor Pro «Load More» / infinite scroll pagination on filtered pages
• New Optional «Plugin notifications» (off unless you allow them) — see «External services» for details
• New The «Block filter URLs in robots.txt» option now also works on sites with a physical robots.txt file — the plugin keeps its rules in a marked block inside that file and updates it automatically; nothing else in the file is touched
• Improved Reworked the License tab: it now asks where you bought the plugin and shows the three steps for that case (CodeCanyon → «Get your License Key» with the Envato account that made the purchase; filtereverything.pro → «My licenses» with the exact site address this site reports), so customers no longer paste the Envato purchase code into the key field
• Improved Activation errors now explain what actually happened instead of a generic «Invalid license key»: a pasted Envato purchase code, a key generated for another address, a key already active on two sites, a filtereverything.pro key for a site that is not registered yet, or a license server that could not be reached
• Fixed Fixed the Apply button building a broken GET link (e.g. ?yes=on) instead of the pretty filter URL when two filters share the same custom field with different filter types — such as a numeric «Sale Price» filter and an «On Sale» checkbox both based on _sale_price
• Fixed Fixed a fatal error «Call to undefined function is_plugin_active()» when the plugin was loaded outside wp-admin (WP-CLI, cron) — the Breakdance compatibility check now falls back to the active-plugins option
• Fixed Fixed a PHP warning «Undefined array key "post_type"» shown to administrators when a Filters widget or block with no Filter Set selected was displayed on a page that has no relevant Filter Set
• Fixed Fixed a label or swatch term in Apply-button mode with instant counts getting unselected again right after the click when the instant recount of a large Filter Set took longer than half a second (many terms, slower phones) — the click was processed twice
• Fixed Fixed the rating stars filter keeping the count of a rating next to the stars after that rating was clicked again to deselect it, when «Disable filter links for crawlers» is on
• Fixed Fixed SEO Rules with a specific category (e.g. «Women's Perfumes + Hugo Boss») generating no URLs for the XML sitemap — only «Any»-category rules made it into the sitemap, although the specific pages were correctly indexable on the frontend
• Fixed Fixed the XML sitemap including filtered URLs whose pages are empty and noindex on the frontend: products hidden from the catalog (out of stock with «Hide out of stock items from the catalog» enabled, or excluded from the catalog) no longer count when the sitemap decides whether a filtered page has products
• Fixed Fixed the XML sitemap listing filtered URLs without the trailing slash on sites whose permalink structure ends with one, so every entry went through a 301 redirect before reaching the canonical page; the sitemap now follows the site's permalink settings exactly
• Fixed Fixed filtering doing nothing on sites with the WP User Manager plugin (and other plugins built on the Brain Cortex router): the router re-ran the main query after Filter Everything had filtered it, so shop and category pages always showed all products
• Fixed Fixed the Filters and Chips blocks showing «This content is available to members only» instead of the filters when WP User Manager is active — the blocks passed its content-restriction attributes on to the widget as if they were widget settings
