I’m finding the plugin is not always working

Hi,

I think this is a problem in your code. I have prepared an example showing that everythings works properly.

Please look: https://imgur.com/a/0AR6D

Hi, I’m not seeing a problem with me code. Was hoping for plug and play.

Your image shows a post populated with something like my example, but not that it is working properly.

When I search for the same it doesn’t work.

Thanks,

Kevin

With a simpler scenario I just put “1234” into an advanced custom field, disabled all plugins, and switched to a default WP. Same results.

I think this plugin is a great idea, but from what I’m trying, it doesn’t seem to be working.

Looking forward to your response and getting it going.

Have a good one!

Kevin

Hi again, to be clear all plugins were disabled except for ACF and your plugin. ??

Any help would be great!

Kevin

I gave you example that everything works. I can’t do anything more because I don’t have admin access to your site.

Hi again,

Let’s work together ?? Your plugin is a great idea!

For the example you mention, did you read above “your image shows a post populated with something like my example, but not that your plugin working properly for that post content”? So, I’m not sure how to interpret your example, it doesn’t seem to help me ??

Doing my best to help from my end …

I just upgraded your plugin to 2.0.3, I deactivated all plugins except for your’s and ACF and switched to the default WP. So, there is no custom code, and still same results as the original scenario.

What do you suggest? Or, where can I send admin access privately?

Thanks

Just a tip… You should include info like what version of PHP you are running in this environment ??

Hi @sbuntu, thanks for the tip and makes sense! Running PHP 5.4, on CentOS 6.9. My Version of WP is 4.8 and version of ACF: Better Search is 2.0.3. @mateuszgbiorczyk, looking forward to support on this. Regards

Hi @mateuszgbiorczyk, I’m not sure if you are getting the full text of my posts. Where can I send admin access privately? @sbuntu, another tip, am I still missing something here? How else can I get help?

Thanks

Do you have wp_debug enabled to see any errors?

I’m using this plugin on a few live sites and it works fine. It seems to be something particular to your environment or settings.

Also have you checked the plugin settings to see that the field types you want to search are enabled? Like https://imgur.com/a/6V5yG

Hi, thanks @sbuntu for the support of your plugin! It really helps!

I’m seeing the plugin does not support a major field type: Flexible Content. Can you confirm? If that is the case, I will post and ask anyone if there is a more comprehensive solution here:

https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/making-acf-data-available-to-wp_search/

I will troubleshoot with wp_debug enabled for another supported field type:Text, however it is likely that without support for the major field type ACF uses the functionality of this plugin might be too limited.

Thanks

Flexible layout and Repeaters are “parent” fields and contain the other types of fields which are the ones shown in the options.

Like your flexible layout rows will contain text / wysiwyg / etc

The plugin works in my testing when searching content from flexible layout fields.

and it is not my plugin i am just trying to be helpful for someone trying to learn to use wordpress ??

Thanks you ??

Hi, I deactivated all plugins except for 1) ACF: Better Search and 2) ACF and switched to the default WP. So, there is no custom code. Running latest / greatest WP, ACF and ACF: Better Search.

With wp_debug disabled I get no errors, however I still get the same results as above.
That is, if I save “test1234” into an ACF field and search for it in the Search Pages box I get “no pages found”. In ACF: Better Search settings, I have all the List of supported fields types selected.

I know the default WP Search Pages works, because if I deactivate ACF: Better Search and ACF and save”test4567″ into a the default WP page field and then search it works.

Any other ideas to get this plugin to work with a default WP install and no custom code, or other options to troubleshoot?

Thanks, ??

Kevin
