Troubleshooting

  • Make sure the Post Widget class name and the Filter Widget target match.
  • Check for incompatible plugins or theme conflicts:
  • Temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme.
  • Deactivate all other plugins except Elementor and Better Post & Filter Widgets.
  • Test the filter. If it works, reactivate your plugins one by one to find the one causing the conflict.
  • Disable caching or optimization plugins while testing, as they can interfere with AJAX.
  • Check the browser console for JavaScript errors (press F12 and look under the Console tab) and resolve any errors that appear.
