Hi Scott,

It seems to have the default site set, and yes, the drafts were previously published. Any clues?

Also having issues with Facebook. The connect process never finishes. Twitter works like a charm, though.

Hi folks –

Thanks for the quick response, both of you. Clayton – the answer is Yes, and as I look at my live site vs. the DB export (which I just performed earlier today), it appears that this does occur on export, rather than existing on the site.

I’ll submit a support ticket to my host.

Thanks!

Looks like that’s outputting false, which matches your explanation. Which is tied to an earlier question about this line:

define(‘SEARCH_ENGINE_CUSTOM_CSS’,true);

When I comment out this line in my wp-config file, the search works correctly (and the $wp_styles bool is true.

Next question: any thoughts besides editing the plugin (which we’d rather not do, of course)?

That did the trick, Thanks!

I didn’t because the activated plugin rendered the front and back-end of the site unloadable…so the only way to disable SE was to move the folder out of the plugins folder.

I don’t expect this is a standard problem…I was tinkering with search-engine.php trying to set the custom CSS constant and even backing out of that change (using undo in Textmate) didn’t solve the problem.

Looking for better solutions to overriding the CSS…especially since a great number of CSS rules are set to !important, which makes styling this puppy slightly tricky (and time consuming).

I haven’t mentioned, but thanks for this plugin — looking forward its support of PODS content!

Thank you, sir! Just to be safe, I also removed the two setting entries in the wp_options table, then reinstalled via the WP Add Plugin feature. Fixed my problem.

As a note for those who are in development mode — you have to have the site set to be searchable by Google (i.e., public) for this plugin to work. I didn’t & it wouldn’t index (total amateur move). Haven’t tried the advanced SE option of ignoring robots.txt settings, which might have gotten around my particular issue.

Cheers – H

Hi Scott(s):

Running into the same problem — no search results in either regular or Pods content. For me, it seems to be related to my dev environment, which is MAMP for Mac OS X. When I try to index, it runs very quickly, and clicking the Show Detailed Progress button, it shows the error.

It appears that Search Engine is not respecting a port designation in the URL, and since MAMP uses port 8888, SE is reporting a 404 error.

Any suggestions, short term? I might be able to solve this by purchasing MAMP Pro, which *I think* allows me to customize the port (or even use the default of 80). Or possibly tweak my hosts file, but that is a bit beyond my knowledge level at this point.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Ah! Problem solved. Under Gallery -> Options -> Gallery Settings , Show First should be set to Thumbnails, NOT Slideshow.

BTW, I’m using this for an architecture firm which requires text descriptions for the body and excerpt, so I wanted to make it easier for the user to embed the gallery without having to know HTML. Solution was to tweak the single post template using the do_shortcode function, pulling the gallery ID from a custom field attached to the post.

Makes it easy for the user to create a gallery and then attach it to a post.

Thanks for the elegant solution to the mini-thumbs under a big image!

hi Lok –

Thanks for the response…unfortunately I’m doing dev locally at the moment. The embed code I’m using is simple: [nggallery id=1] . I will look into it further, and post a result if it works.

Hi Lok –

Thanks for that link, and I would post to that thread but it is closed. All is working quite well, but when I go to this post where the gallery sits, the images are not loading, the link [Show picture list] still appears.

I was thinking the last bit of JS would solve this, but no luck. Am I reading it incorrectly?

Thanks – Holling

Hi NativePaul –

I know this comment is late, but, better late than never.

We got around this issue by putting the template into the Thematic directory instead of the child theme dir. Quite defeats the purpose of a child theme, of course, but it got the job done.

ps. site in question (my design has been destroyed since the site launch) : https://www.meatlessmonday.com/

pps. post template is most easily seen on their recipes.

Thanks Michael! – was not aware of this. Will give it a try.
