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. Docs and Support Find support for this plugin in the documentation.
