Problem with GridBuilder WP Text Search after Migration

    Hi everyone. I have a weird scenario, maybe someone can help.

    I have a site where I list the events from the events calendar in a grid and with facets from gridbuilder WP. All worked fine, until I migrated the events to the new database format. After that, the TEXT SEARCH facet in Gridbuilder did not work any more. I had a long exchange with their support who tried to help and we got to a partial solution (text search worked fine after this) but the ordering of the events was broken after that.

    This is the code, I was given by support:

    add_filter(
    	'wp_grid_builder/grid/query_args',
    	function( $query_args ) {

    		$query_args['tec_events_ignore'] = true;
    		$query_args['tribe_suppress_query_filters'] = true;
    		return $query_args;

    	}
    );

    And in the Gridbuilder settings, I was ordering by (numeric) _EventStartDate . THAT Order is broken, when I use the code above. If I don’t, the order is fine but the Text search does not work any more.

    So it seems this is a fatal combination of Gridbuilder WP and the events calendar.

    Any info/insight/tipps on this?

    Thank so much

    Hi @netzmaedchen

    Thanks for reaching out. Let me help you with this one.

    I don’t have a Gridbuilder that I can test, but you could try adding the query args below $query_args['tribe_suppress_query_filters'] = true;

    $query_args['orderby'] = [
                 'tec_event_start_date' => 'ASC',
                 'post_date' => 'DESC',
            ];

    As always, please test it first on a staging version of your live site before applying to your live site.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Thank you very much! It didn’t help. But right now, I’m convinced it is more of a gridbuilder Problem as the regular WordPress search ( /?s=searchme ) works fine, only the text search of gridbuilder doesn’t. But as I can’t really get any help, I will remove the text search and get on with my life. Thanks for your effort and time!
