Is this plugin still developed?

It still works, I just tested it. You probably have a conflicting plugin.

Ok, I tested it on an empty WordPress installation, and yes, it works, you are right, it must be a conflict. I have to test and deactivate each plugin to find the culprit. Thank you for replying!

No worries, I’m happy you came to the same conclusion ??

Ok, it conflicts with “ACF: Better Search” plugin, that I am using to search in custom fields. Is there any way to make them both work? Thanks!

I could set a priority for the filter that modifies the search query, but that would most likely cause issues with other plugins that manipulates the query. Since searching by id isn’t exactly a vital feature I decided to not set a priority, so that other plugins that may be more important have a way to override.

There’s a chance ACF Better Search would break if I did that. If you want to, you can test it yourself. All you need to do is open search-by-id.php and alter line 16

from

add_filter('posts_where', array(&$this, 'posts_where'));

to

add_filter('posts_where', array(&$this, 'posts_where'), 999, 1);

999 is the priority (higher = more priority).

Hi!

Thanks for your reply!

Unfortunately, it does not work. I still have to deactivate “ACF Better Search” to make it work, even after having replaced the php line.
