As far as I know there’s no need for an update. The core functionality should still work even if the “tested up to” version isn’t up to date.

For your specific need you’d probably be better off asking on the WP stackoverflow. I also wouldn’t be surprised if your question has already been asked before.

I could set a priority for the filter that modifies the search query, but that would most likely cause issues with other plugins that manipulates the query. Since searching by id isn’t exactly a vital feature I decided to not set a priority, so that other plugins that may be more important have a way to override.

There’s a chance ACF Better Search would break if I did that. If you want to, you can test it yourself. All you need to do is open search-by-id.php and alter line 16

from

add_filter('posts_where', array(&$this, 'posts_where'));

to

add_filter('posts_where', array(&$this, 'posts_where'), 999, 1);

999 is the priority (higher = more priority).

No worries, I’m happy you came to the same conclusion ??

It still works, I just tested it. You probably have a conflicting plugin.

Well, yes, the error does not originate in the plugin but in the theme. So Astra is probably to blame. It looks like it’s a child theme to a modified version of Twenty Twentyone. Safe Mode only works with the original default themes.

So, this doesn’t help you, but this happens because Astra uses a modified version of Twenty Twentyone that can’t be activated without errors.

That’s not helpful. Why don’t you make a post in the support forum rather than jump straight to an unfair and misleading review?

I don’t think frontend users would have any benefit of searching for IDs they are not even aware of.

But thanks for the 5 stars.

From your screenshot I can’t see that a post with ID 327 actually exists.

Regardless, the plugin works and has been tested with 5.0.2. If it does not work in your installation, you have another plugin that interferes with the search query, and as stated in the FAQ, there’s nothing I can do about that.

There’s no need for an update, the plugin still works.

Also, I don’t know what “fairdinkum” means.

It works with 4.7.2 as well.

No, it works with 4.7.1 as long as other plugins aren’t interfering. This has been confimed on a clean install.

It definitely works with 4.7.1. It has been tested, although the plugin page needs updating to reflect that. So the issue for you must be another plugin that overrides the search query. Unfortunately there’s nothing I can do about that.

The front end will only work if you actually have one of the default twentyten to twentyfifteen themes installed. If one of those is present, it will work just fine in 4.6.1.

Yep, you have to use list mode. Also, make a new thread next time ??

Any update on this? The bug is still present in 1.7.7.
