Filter Everything Pro, from FlyWheels (Filter Everything), filters any WordPress post type by any parameter – taxonomies, custom fields, prices, attributes – with filter widgets that build real URL query strings. Where shop-filter plugins only work inside WooCommerce loops, Filter Everything filters posts, pages, custom post types, and WooCommerce products alike, and the URL-driven design means every filtered view is a real, shareable, indexable URL. Related reading: our shop filtering suite overview covers the Elementor-first alternative, and our faceted search engine overview covers the faceted-search layer.
The plugin’s identity is URL discipline. Filter widgets render as checkboxes, dropdowns, radio lists, or sliders; every filter combination builds a real query-string URL that visitors can share and search engines can crawl; and SEO settings control indexing, noindex rules, and canonical URLs for filtered pages. For catalogs, listings, and stores where filtered views should be real pages – not AJAX-only states – this is the URL-first filtering option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can it filter posts and custom post types, not just products?
Yes – any WordPress post type filters by taxonomies, custom fields, prices, and attributes. This is the universal scope shop-only filter plugins lack.
Are filtered views real URLs?
Yes – every filter combination builds a real query-string URL that visitors can share and search engines can crawl. This is the URL-first design the plugin is built around.
Can I control indexing of filtered pages?
Yes – indexing, noindex rules, and canonical URLs configure per filter, which is the discipline filtered pages need to stay search-safe.
Which widget types are available?
Checkboxes, dropdowns, radio lists, and sliders render per filter, with result counts per option – the widget surface every parameter needs.
Where can filter widgets appear?
Sidebars, above loops, or inside page builders via shortcode and widgets – placement follows the catalog, not the plugin.
