The best !

I had tried many filter plugins, and even though I have the necessary skills to manually filter any data, I preferred to use a plugin, so my clients would be able to change the parameters of the filters without me having to change any custom code…

I had settled for the Pro version of the Search & Filter plugin, as the free version is pretty, no, very useless when it comes to custom fields. I used the Search & Filter Pro plugin along with the free Custom Layouts plugin, which they compliment each other very well.

Them I saw a YouTube video demoing this plugin, “Filter Everything”, and the guy was filtering ACF fields, among other things, and found myself asking, nah, this must be a mistake, he must be demoing the pro version. So I turned to another video and forgot all about it. About a week later, I found myself having 2-3 hours to spare and feeling adventurous, so I decided to humor myself and try this “click & bait” clown of a plugin “Filter Everything”.

Man was I wrong !!! I needed almost no documentation or help to get started, and with little CSS adjustments here and there, I was able to do everything that I was doing with 2 plugins before, and for free. If you did not get it by now, I love this plugin… it’s not “click & bait”, it’s not clownware, it’s real and it’s freaking awesome !

The only thing missing is importing and exporting your filters from one site to another, which in most cases you can recreate them within a few minutes anyway. That said, within 2-3 minutes, I figured out that I could use WP’s import/export feature, and edit the wp_posts table, and match the filters to the Filter sets (and was the real issue), and then simply edit the filter sets and just update them without needing to make any additional changes, and you are done, a quick 2-3 minute job. But really, a plugin this quality needs a built in import/export feature.

This plugin – Filter Everything is definitely a 5/5 stars plugin for me !!!
