  • RE: WPFTS does not index files NOT uploaded with Media Library

    Hi @Graham

    Thanks for your question. Let me ask you one more clarifying question before I can offer a solution.

    You plan to use the widget for general site-wide search, right? If so, and in this case, if the information is found in one of these files that are listed in your example, then what exactly should be displayed on the search results page? And in this case, where should the user go when he clicks on the title of the search results element?

    @guarani23 Can you send me access to your website to the private messages? I can make a code, it's really simple.

  • RE: how to add buttons to the search engine

    Hi @guarani23

    So, you want these buttons to be an alternative way to enter respective letters into the search string, right?

    For example, if I want to enter the word “NIÑO”, but I have no such letters on the keyboard, I can enter “NI” and then press the “Ñ” button above and it appears in the search box. Is it correct?

    In this case you could add a very simple javascript to the page that will catch button clicks and copy letters to the input text.

    Do you need me to help you with this js code?

    Thanks.

    Hi @e-bouf

    Definitely something goes wrong. I feel like this is a conflict between 3rd party search-related plugin and WPFTS. Sometimes this happens. Could you please check if you have some other search-related plugins enabled and try to disable them temporarily?

    If it does not help I would like to ask you if we can contact with Anydesk to let me check your WP admin to solve this problem or you can send me wp admin access to private message please?

    Thanks!

    Hi @e-bouf

    It looks like there is a conflict with the theme settings or 3rd-party plugin. Which theme you are using? I think the theme uses it's own search-related code to order search results and create excerpts.

    I have tried different words and may be I found one that displays not only files, check please https://www.franceparkinson.fr/?s=parkinson

    Also could you try Sandbox search, does it search for titles/posts?

    Thanks!

    Hi @e-bouf

    It's pretty strange. Do you have your website online so I can make some checks please? You can answer me in private messages here in case you don't want to share website URL.

    Thanks!

  • RE: WPFTS does not index files NOT uploaded with Media Library

    Hi @Webwerkplaats

    The main problem is that WPFTS basically works with database entries in the wp_posts table, not with physical files. The files are the source of the search text only at the time of the indexing procedure, and thereafter the index only references the rows in the database table. It works this way because WPFTS is essentially an extension of the standard WordPress function, WP_Query, which searches wp_posts records.

    What I might suggest in your case?

    1. Since Simple File List Pro does not save information to WP Media Library, we need another plugin that will populate wp_posts with information about each file. In this case, with a small addon, the WPFTS plugin can index each file and display it in the search results (every file).

    2. Another option is to index files that are embedded in the page using the [eeFSL] shotcode. But in this case it will be impossible to highlight a single file in the search results - instead a link to the page itself, where the list of files is embedded, will be displayed.

    I need to understand exactly what you need in order to give further instructions or advice. Please let me know.

    Hi @e-bouf

    Some additional tests needs to be done. There are some reason why search does not search "page" or "post" posts. For example there is a conflict with 3rd party plugin or theme.

    Could you try to disable all plugins that can make search and try again?

    Also please try to make the same search in the WPFTS Settings / Search & Output / Sandbox, page 2.

    Let me know what happen, thanks!

  • RE: Blog post order changed by plugin

    @Qville I have tried with the Pen theme, tried to activate and deactivate WPFTS Pro on my dev machine, but unfortunately I can not repeat the issue that you faced with. The posts on the main page are always ordered by "Publication Date (descending order)" does not matter whether WPFTS active or not.

    Could you please try once more to activate WPFTS and deactivate it on your website and see if there any differences? Could you make a screenshot or give me a link to your website?

  • RE: Blog post order changed by plugin

    Hi @Qville

    Actually, WPFTS plugin should only affect post order on search results. And it's okay, you can change the search results post order in the WPFTS settings.

    In case you meant post order on the main page / blog page (not search) please let me know if you need it to be "revision date" or "publication date" and where you can set it?

    Also I would ask you to copy of the paid theme you're using (you can put it to the private message or to info@fulltextsearch.org) please.

    Thanks!
