That’s what I’m using tho; my hack function is just to add a css class to the links. It still shows up with “next” even if there aren’t posts on the next page. Any other ideas what could be wrong here?

Moshu, that’s perfect, thank you.

Hi Denis, thanks for following up. I’m not sure what you need to know, but here’s the outline.

If I turn off search reloaded, and search, then I get fwd/back paging.

If I use the “simplesearch” plugin and search, I also get fwd/back paging (although, frankly, the results are not as good)

Finally, if I turn on search reloaded, the paging links disappear.

I looked at the php function which is being called from the search page (posts_nav_link) and it seems like it requires some variables to be set up previously to tell it whether to generate the links or not; on a brief reading of the search reloaded code (and I’m not a php coder per se, so I may have missed the relevant section) I didn’t see it.

Let me know if you’d like me to add any echoes etc to debug this further.

After making the change you have to make a static page to “flush the rewrite rules”, whatever that means.

Yeah, it’s a plugin. It enhances the search by adding a couple of filters to bypass some of wordpress’ internal search functions (and turns up much more relevant results). The author is here: https://www.semiologic.com/software/search-reloaded/, but he doesn’t accept direct support queries…he wants them to be posted here.

I’m using the simplesearch plugin in the meantime, but as soon as there’s a fix I’d like to revert to search reloaded.

AHA. My host is using mysql 4, which doesn’t support subqueries. Here is the fix for the search_reloaded plugin:

Just before $search_query is defined, add the following:

$where = ” WHERE “;
$cat = get_query_var(‘cat’);
if (isset($cat) && !empty($cat)) {
$where = “, $wpdb->post2cat AS cat WHERE cat.category_id = ” . $cat . ” AND cat.post_id = posts.ID AND “;
}

Now, replace the line a little further down:

WHERE

with:

” . $where . “

This will only search one category. WordPress’ internal search has teh ability to search multiple, but I don’t need that, so …

(BTW it’s commented out because it’s throwing an SQL syntax error)

I’m almost there on this one; I do:

$category_branch = “”;
$cat = get_query_var(‘cat’);
if (isset($cat) && !empty($cat)) {
// $category_branch = ” AND posts.ID = ANY (SELECT post_id FROM $wpdb->post2cat WHERE category_id=” . $cat . “) “;
}

and then just append $category_branch into the query.

However, I can’t get it working. What am I doing wrong?

Great,thanks!

I figured this out — instructions here:

Ah, thanks

mo’ bumpy. I think this is a WP bug

The mozilla folks suspect a funky mime type. Can anyone confirm??

I’ve found out a little more on this — wordpress is somehow serving moderation.php as a file to be downloaded. Why?
