Hello and thanks for your reply. Editing didn’t allow me to do much, since there was no category textarea do edit, but deleted all the items under the Category Page – which I didn’t need anyway.

So, my problem is solved, but I think you should further investigate why the text of each category isn’t visible there. In fact, even when creating a new category, you can only add Name, Slug, Default State, Head and Body scripts – there is no option about the category description.

Hello and I also apologize for not replying any sooner.

I can’t really understand what the suggestion is. Is it possible that you can elaborate with an example?

Hello,

Marko, thank you for your answer. While testing yesterday, everything seems to be working fine now – you just validated what I was doing, which is still a great help!

Hello @cornelraiu-1 !

Sorry it took me so long to respond, awesome work!

Here is a link with how it ended up looking:

Only thing – I really think you should document the filter and how to use it, I found my way through but it would be a waste if people didn’t know how to use it!

Really, I am looking forward for your future posts and updates! And (fingers crossed) if you find a way to extend it using the similar searches would be awesome!

Hello again @cornelraiu-1.

Yes, it surely makes sense, I will try to test it sometime later today or tomorrow and report back. So, since this is already implemented, then clean the debugging outcome and head on for release! ??

I can appreciate the enjoyment of having something you made used by a lot of people! Keep it up!

Hello @cornelraiu-1 and sorry for my late response, a lot of things going on these days.

So, I got to try the shortcode… works awesome!

Excluding the debugging code, I to go forward I would expect the plugin to do the following – gracefully going from the most important to the least important:

– Have the output somehow templatized – meaning, I could specify the markup for each item – an optional wrapper would be also nice, for example I would like to have the output like:

<ul>
   <li><a href="<?php echo $item_search_link; ?>" class="someclass"><?php echo $search_term; ?></a></li>
   ...
</ul>

– The above would be ideal, but I am sure it would be already good enough if you could provide the option to have links (true/false) and a link class (string), eg

<a href="<?php echo $item_search_link; ?>" class="<?php echo $search_link_class"><?php echo $search_term; ?></a>

From then onwards, the most awesome thing to do would be to somehow show ‘relevant’ results, eg, if you looked for a term, look for terms that look like the one you searched for.

Thank you in advance for putting all this effort not only for the plugin, but also for fulfilling my personal requests.

Hello @cornelraiu-1 !

I will try to follow up with you in the next couple of days to help you test. I only had a quick view of the repo, but seems like you nailed it for a first version ??

Will get back to you after I installed and tested. Thanks!

Hello @cornelraiu-1 !

Thanks for keeping me up to date, looking forward to your updates! ??

Have a nice day yourself!

Hello again,

Regarding your tests:
– Custom theme
– Latest WordPress version (5.5.1)
– PHP version: 7.4.10

Development mode or not, it makes no difference, and I guess it’s due to the reason mentioned below:

…I did some further testing and from what I can see the problem is that when you reset your assets cache the produced hummingbird filename is exactly the same. How would you expect it to be realoded from browsers since it is cached with the exact same filename every time you clear your cache?

For example, hummingbird produces the following automated asset filename:
.../wp-content/uploads/hummingbird-assets/76caf9511861473790287bcc41d0fadd.css

If you clear your asset cache, then a ‘new file’ is produced, but with the same filename, which is already browser-cached.

If the filename or the version of the filename (eg filename?v=2) was different every time you clear your assets, I guess the problem would be solved.

Hello again and I apologize for taking too long to respond!

I really appreciate your efforts into pleasing me! Looking forward to your next update!

Regarding the ‘similar terms’ it would really be awesome if you could implement at some point in the future!

Have a nice day!

Thank you for the swift reply!

So, what I would be currently looking for the front-end is something like the following:

– Show ‘similar searches’ (obviously that PRODUCE results) – This would be priceless, however, I am not really sure if and how it could be done.
– Show most common X number of searches
– Show current user’s last X number of searches

Regarding the ‘similar searches feature, since the plugin already reports if there are results or not, it would be great if it could look up for ‘similar search terms’ – getting ‘similar search terms based on posts’ would be an overkill I guess -let alone I am not really sure if this depends on WordPress since I am using a different search engine (ElasticSearch through the ElasticPress plugin). The usecase scenario is to populate empty ‘search result’ pages.

So for example -using my specific context – if someone searched for ‘Opel Corsa’ and got no results, it would be great if they could be proposed something like ‘Opel Astra’ that was previously reported to produce results. This could bring more new problems to the surface like, another proposed term that USED to produce results, now, no longer does, etc

This is more or less, what eBay is using for suggestions if there are no results.

Looking forward to your reply!

I apologize for not replying, for some reason I couldn’t see the second-to-last-reply.

The button that has been suggested in the dashboard reads:
‘This will clear your Page, Cloudflare & Asset optimization caches’

…so essentially, it can’t be the same as the ‘Clear page cache’ at the top of the screen.

No matter what I do, it doesn’t seem to reset mobile browser cache – let me clarify on this though. What I am expecting to see is any change on the website reflect on any browser. When on mobile, I keep refreshing but nothing changes, however, going private browsing, I can see the new changes. This means, though, that whoever visited the site up to this point can’t see the new changes.

As a temporary solution I have added a short expiration time of 8 hours for the assets, so user can take the changes within the day.

What you have described above raises new questions. Yes, I am using Cloudflare cache as well. Shouldn’t I? I am not really sure how the two co-operate with each other. Is it advised to remove Cloudflare caching? Then… what’s the purpose of the integration?

Hello again and thanks for the reply!

Before commenting, I would like to say that this button to clear ‘everything’ was what I was expecting for the plugin to have. Unfortunately, it’s not very well placed up there – this is the first time I see it! I would suggest that you should have it as a clearer option – either on it’s own page in the plugin and/or add it on the admin navigation as a separate button with clear wording, like ‘Clear everything’ or ‘Clear cache, assets & cloudflare’. It will make a huge difference to users, trust me.

Yes, I have cloudflare connected indeed. Clicking on the button makes absolutely no difference to my mobile browser – unless of course I use private browsing.

Same applies for desktop as well, I need to ctrl-refresh to receive the new static files. The problem is that if I don’t see the changes immediately, then users don’t see the changes either.

Then again, the expected behavior for me would be the following:

– Make changes to my static files – and nothing else, eg change versions etc
– Click on this magic ‘Clear everything’ button
– View changes after a couple of mins

Is there anything more expected from a developer’s end? Is versioning necessary after all?

Hello and thanks for your reply!

– No I am not hosted on Siteground.
– Thanks for clarifying about the cloudflare plugin use
– Regarding the save of settings, for some reason it seems to be working now!

..when you mention about clearing browser cache, you mean on the device itself? This works here as well, but this beats the purpose of using browser cache – you can’t force users to reset their browser cache whenever you do a change on the static elements (css, js, fonts, whatever). The whole caching procedure should be completely transparent to users.

Thank you so much for your thorough explanations. More or less I ended up in the same conclusion regarding recaptcha v3 – that you can’t test is very easily – since I couldn’t find a way to get a lower score by faking it using a different user agent, incognito tabs, etc.

I understand the logic behind enqueuing all the scripts/styles in the acf_form_head, but I don’t totally agree with its logic. The acf_form_head could be loaded with a handler per different form (or even fields), so that it knows what fields are required – maybe there are more efficient ways to do it, but this is what I just came up with. But it’s totally inefficient to load all this additional code for nothing.

Once again thank you for providing the files where the recaptcha plugin lies in. I will definitely give it a try. You have provided me with enough assistance already!

Keep up the good work!
