1.9.7 Release Date - 22 September 2026

• Security - A security fix related to the Elementor Pro «Load More» / infinite scroll pagination on filtered pages
• Dev - NEW: optional «Plugin notifications» (off unless you allow them) — see «External services» for details
• Fix - 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
• Fix - 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
• Fix - 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
• Fix - 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

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 every filter URL parameter and adds them to the site's robots.txt automatically, so well-behaved crawlers (Google, Bing, most AI bots) stop requesting filtering result pages they already know. The generated rules are also shown on the settings page, so they can be copied into a physical robots.txt file or reused in a firewall rule
• 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 (previously it was visible only in the Help tab)
• 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
• 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 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 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 Release Date - 14 July 2026

• Dev - NEW: Added native Filters, Chips and Sorting widgets for Beaver Builder, Bricks, Breakdance, Divi and the block editor (Gutenberg)
• 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 - The minimum required PHP version is now 7.4
• 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
• 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 - Fixed a fatal error "Call to a member function setExcludedTerms() on false" that could break pages with filters when a filter referenced a parent filter that no longer exists in the Filter Set or does not apply to its post type
