Hide any

You have just to rewrite the filter options, leaving blank the rewrite:

I have the same problem. I tried all these solutions, one by one, and still it shows up.

-Any-|
- Any -|
- Any -| (with an extra space after |)

I'm using 8.x-3.0-alpha1, I wouldn't like to hijack this issue, though and re-assign from 7.x

The problem is that "- Any -" doesn't match the "All" , in the logic of rewriting , file BetterExposedFilters.php

 foreach ($options as $index => $option) {
      if (isset($rewrites[$option])) {
        if ('' == $rewrites[$option]) {
          unset($return[$index]);
        }
        else {
          $return[$index] = $rewrites[$option];
        }
      }
    }

I'm using this form_alter in the meanwhile (based on https://www.drupal.org/node/1537074 (comment 3))

/**
 * Implements hook_form_alter().
 */
function YOURMODULE_form_alter(&$form, FormStateInterface $form_state, $form_id) {
  // Rewrite first item for exposed filters
  if ($form_id == 'views_exposed_form' && $form['#id'] === 'views-exposed-form-events-block-1') {
    foreach ($form['#info'] as $filtername => $filterdefs) {
      $fieldname = substr ($filtername, strlen('filter-'));
      if($form[$fieldname]['#type'] == 'radios') {
        // Unset the - Any - option
        unset($form[$fieldname]['#options']['All']);
      }
    }
  }
}

Can someone try the patch in #2756693: Cannot rewrite filter options with non-alphanumeric characters and let me know if it solves your problem?

(Also, you can make the filter required to remove the "any" option.)

re: @corbacho in #5:

I think you're using an older version of BEF. That should have been fixed in this commit from Aug 2016. However, there is still an outstanding issue: #2666540: Rewrites do not work for taxonomy filters (D8-only).

I should also point out that removing the any/all option may give you the dreaded "illegal choice" error. It might be good to special case that situation in BEF.

Thanks Mike. Problem solved after updating the module to alpha-2. The only issue is an annoying PHP warning but I fixed it with patch #4 from #2822916: Set selected variable before rewriting filter option 'Undefined variable: selected'

Issue queue cleanup. Based on #8 it sounds like this has been resolved.
