Full release history of the Filter Everything plugin. The most recent version is at the top. 83 releases since 2021.
== Changelog ==
= 1.9.6 =
*Release Date - 24 August 2026*
* Dev - NEW: The «Disable filter links for crawlers» option is now available in the free version too: filter links are rendered as <span> instead of <a>, so search engine bots and AI crawlers no longer discover and hammer endless filter combinations. It is enabled by default on new installations; existing sites can switch it on in Settings → General → Crawlers and bots
* Dev - NEW: Added the «Block filter URLs in robots.txt» option: the plugin generates Disallow rules for its filter URLs and adds them to the site's robots.txt automatically, so well-behaved crawlers stop requesting filtering result pages they already know. In the free version the rules cover every filter parameter; in the PRO version with pretty permalinks they name only the URLs that are never indexable — several values of one filter, more filters than the Indexing Depth allows, numeric and date ranges — so the pages your SEO Rules index stay crawlable. The generated rules are also shown on the settings page for sites with a physical robots.txt file
* Tweak - Added the «Crawlers and bots» section to Settings → General and a one-time admin notice after the update pointing to the new protections
* Tweak - Added the «What's new» page under the Filters menu: release notes of the installed version with a badge on the menu item after an update, so you can see what changed whenever it suits you
* Tweak - The Import/Export link was removed from the Filters menu and the top toolbar to keep them short; the Import/Export tab in Settings stays where it was
* Tweak - The installed plugin version is now shown next to the plugin name in the top toolbar on every plugin page, in both the free and the PRO version (previously PRO printed it next to the license status and the free version only in the Help tab)
* Fix - Fixed filter counters on shops that list product variations as separate catalog items next to their still-visible parent products (e.g. YITH Color Label Variations with parents not hidden): the counters could be lower than the number of products actually shown on the filtered page
* Fix - Fixed filters not working for logged-out visitors on shops that use WooCommerce B2B (the plugin hides restricted products from guests and changed the identity of the page query the Filter Set was saved with)
* Fix - Fixed the PHP 8.2 «Creation of dynamic property» deprecation notice triggered by the Filters, Chips and Sorting modules for Divi
* Fix - Fixed «Create Filters Automatically» writing a broken entry into the list of global URL prefixes and overwriting the prefixes that had just been registered for the new filters
* Tweak - License activation on sites whose address carries a path (WPML/Polylang language directories, multisite sub-sites): the License tab now shows the exact address the plugin reports to the license server, and when a key was generated for a different address the error explains it instead of the generic «Invalid license key»
* Fix - Fixed the error log filling up with PHP warnings «strpos(): Empty needle» from the page-builder detector on PHP 7 sites (reported after the WordPress 7.1 update); markup-based builder detection now also reports the builder name correctly
= 1.9.5 =
*Release Date - 5 August 2026*
* Fix - Fixed the search box inside a filter returning no results when the filter's terms are shown as color swatches or when filter links are hidden from search engine crawlers
* Fix - Fixed numeric range filters (e.g. price) keeping outdated minimum and maximum values for several hours after a product was edited: the cached filter data is now reset correctly on every product save
* Fix - Fixed the range slider and its number inputs not appearing in the «Apply button» mode with instant recount when the Filter Set contains only one filter (on PHP 8 such a filter could be mistakenly treated as waiting for a parent filter selection and stayed hidden)
* Fix - Fixed filter terms requiring a double tap in Safari on iPhone when filter links are hidden from search engine crawlers or shown as color swatches and brand logos: a single tap now both selects the term and instantly recalculates the counters
* Fix - Fixed the mobile «Show» button occasionally displaying the found posts number with doubled parentheses, like ((60))
* Fix - Fixed the «Apply button» with a redirect to another page repeating the already applied URL segments when the button was pressed again on a filtered page: the new address is now always built from the clean location URL
* Tweak - Child filters are now reset when their parent filter selection changes in the «Apply button» mode with instant recount: switching the Brand no longer keeps a Model that belongs to the previous Brand selected
* Fix - Fixed filters with the «See more» option hiding all of their terms after a selection in another filter in the «Apply button» mode with instant recount, when another Filter Set on the same page configures the same attribute without «See more» (e.g. a dropdown in a search form and a checkbox list in the sidebar): the «See more» state is now read from the rendered filter itself, and the static filter-data file name now includes a fingerprint of the filter configuration so configuration changes always refresh it
* Fix - Fixed hierarchical filters with the «See more» option rendering with all terms hidden until the plugin's JavaScript runs: on sites where scripts are delayed or minified by page-speed plugins (e.g. WP Rocket) such filters could stay empty for logged-out visitors, while logged-in users saw them correctly
* Fix - Fixed the «Load More» button of the Elementor Loop Grid widget appending unfiltered products on a filtered page: the widget's next-page address (?e-page-…) now keeps the applied filters, and the second and further pages no longer get a malformed address with two «?» characters
* Fix - Fixed the «Empty terms → Always hide» option not being applied to filters displayed as color swatches or brand logos when the page loads in the «Apply button» mode with instant recount: empty terms were visible until the first click on any filter and only then disappeared
* Fix - Fixed all filters disappearing from the Shop page and other product archive pages after updating to WooCommerce 11.0: WooCommerce now reports the shop page itself instead of the products archive there, and the plugin no longer recognized the page as a filterable products list
= 1.9.4 =
*Release Date - 20 July 2026*
* Fix - Fixed a fatal error ("Cannot redeclare modify_specific_module()") that broke the site front end right after plugin activation on Divi websites that use a Theme Builder header layout
= 1.9.3.1 =
*Release Date - 14 July 2026*
* Fix - Fixed the fatal error "Call to a member function setExcludedTerms() on false" that could break pages with filters after the 1.9.3 update, when a filter referenced a parent filter that no longer exists in the Filter Set or does not apply to its post type
= 1.9.3 =
*Release Date - 14 July 2026*
* Dev - NEW: Instant filter counts — after every click, filter counters are recalculated instantly right in the browser, with no page reload and no server request. Available in the «Apply button» mode
* Dev - NEW: Added native Filters, Chips and Sorting widgets for Beaver Builder, Bricks, Breakdance, Divi and the block editor (Gutenberg)
* Dev - NEW: Added the new Range List filter type: numeric values (price, weight, etc.) can now be shown as a list of predefined ranges instead of a slider
* Dev - NEW: Added the Results container option with a visual picker: choose exactly which part of the page AJAX refreshes — enter a CSS selector manually or click «Select visually» and simply click the posts area right on your site
* Dev - NEW: Added the «Disable filter links for crawlers» option: filter links are rendered as <span> instead of <a>, so search engine bots no longer waste your crawl budget on endless filter combinations. Links to combinations that your SEO Rules make indexable keep the real <a> tag and stay discoverable
* Tweak - Filter Sets with a very large number of filters (100+) can now be saved reliably: the editing form submits only the fields that were actually changed, so the request no longer hits the server's post_max_size limit
* Tweak - Major performance boost on large catalogs: filter data is now delivered as a small static cacheable file instead of inline page markup, dramatically reducing HTML size
* Fix - XML sitemap generation no longer fails on hosts where MEMORY tables are unavailable or size-restricted (the temporary table now uses InnoDB)
* Fix - Buttons inside the filtering area keep working after an AJAX results update (previously they could lose their click handlers when the content was refreshed)
* Fix - On multilingual sites (Polylang/WPML), filtering by a taxonomy term whose slug is shared across languages no longer triggers a redirect to the wrong-language URL; the filter now resolves the term in the current language
* Fix - On Polylang sites, the Filter Set list table now shows the location preview link in the Filter Set's own language, matching the edit screen (previously the language prefix was dropped)
* Fix - Compatibility with Ultimate Membership Pro: filtering now works for logged-out/restricted visitors on pages where the membership plugin hides protected posts (its post exclusions no longer change the query hash used to match a Filter Set)
* Fix - Filter term counters now respect the Filter Set's post type. When the saved query lacked an explicit post type (e.g. an Avada fusion_blog element) and other post types shared the filtered taxonomy (e.g. Pages assigned to Categories), counters over-counted; they now match the displayed results
