Thanks for the quick and positive response.

With regards to the http – https issue:

When you setup a wordpress website without ssl, wordpress will save the first two entries in the options-table (siteurl and home) with a http address. When you later change the website to ssl, this option table is not automatically updated. So any plugin, which uses these siteurl or home values for addressing, will produce a http address. You should update the first two entries in your option table manually from http to https. This should solve your issue.

Hi,

sorry for the inconvenience, you are using redirection for your subdomain. In this latest update I changed imagefile and thumbfile to local names, which now are in conflict with redirection.

Please download a plugin correction v-3-3-3 from my website https://r-fotos.de/wordpress-plugins/nextgen-galleries-smart-image-search/ and install it manually. Let me know, whether it solved your problem so that I can distribute it on www.ads-software.com.

Hi MaraX,

of course it should be possible to include the two fancybox-files inside the plugin. I use the cdn in order to get the latest version of fancybox automatically. And I experienced a problem when including the two files in the plugin during the last update-test.

ngg uses a vary old version of fancybox. Therefor I do not like to use that version.

Of course you are free to modify the plugin in your installation. I do not issue rfequent updates for the plugin.

Best regards,

Harald

Hi Simon,

there are various reasons why a search result list might not be addressed correctly resulting in a 404-error, e.g. webserver redirection. Therefore V3 of the plugin introduced the target parameter (see https://r-fotos.de/wordpress-plugins/nextgen-galleries-smart-image-search/new-functionalities/) where you can explicitly set the target-url for a search. That should solve your problem.

Regards, Harald

On your website the search function is working fine if it finds results. It will also show a message if you enter an empty string.

You have a function active which will catch a critical error but does not show any information about that error. Can you switch off this function to show the critical error?

Can you deactivate other plugins which might cause a conflict? Can you test with a different standard wordpress theme to check that there is not a conflict with your theme. What were your last changes on your website that produced this error?

Hi Simon,

I fixed the issue. You can check it here: https://r-bienen.de/bildersuche-test/ .

You have to download a new plugin test version 3.1.4 from my website https://r-fotos.de/wordpress-plugins/nextgen-galleries-smart-image-search/ . You can install this version manually in wordpress. Before activating this plugin version, you have first to deactivate the previous plugin version.

Hi, as I already remarked, the plugin should work under php 8.1.

However, it is also possible that other plugins or wordpress functions will behave differently thereby causing problems.

If you have a problem, please describe your problem. What function does not work? How does it look like?

Regards, Harald

Hi Simon,

I just setup a wordpress test site with theme twenty twenty four and defined a test page with searchbox and resultlist shortcode. I got the same result as you described.

However, when I checked the source code of the page I could see that wordpress changed a quotation mark of my plugin source code. It replaced the closing normal quotation mark of a parameter list by a different character “ thereby crashing the following html code. It replaces this closing quotation mark even if I include my source code in a html block.

Finally I included a further search box as html code in a html box, but this time I omitted the parameter list where the closing quotation mark was changed before. Now the searchbox is working correctly.
You can check it here: https://r-bienen.de/bildersuche-test/

So do not try to change CSS adjustments. The html code is crashed by wordpress which destroys the input field of the searchbox.

At the moment I have no idea why this happens.

Regards, Harald

Hi Simon,

I briefly checked the plugin with the theme twenty twenty four. In principle, it should work. If you check the source code of the website you will see that the search field is correctly included by the shortcode. However, the CSS for this search field is not correct. Previously themes defined their own layout for searchfields and used standard classes for that. As the plugin uses that classes for its own searchfield, the design was adopted to the theme.

It seems that block themes (at least TT4) do not use these searchclasses. Therefore the current searchfield now misses format definitions and hence contains a text field of size 0. If you are familiar with CSS adjustments you can define the layout of the searchfield as you like. Then the plugin should hopefully work as designed.

Kind regards,
Harald

Hi Simon,
could you please describe what you are trying to do and what problems you encounter thereby?
I myself do not use block themes up to now. But normally you should be able to use this plugin with the block editor. Just use the shortcode block and insert the suitable plugin shortcode.
Kind regards,
Harald

display=bt calls original NextGen Gallery code to display the basic thumbnail gallery. You have to adjust thumbnail sizes directly with NextGen Gallery settings.

Hi, I run the plugin on my websites with PHP 8.1. The plugin is working fine on my websites.

Normally your listed PHP Warnings should have no impact on the way the plugin is functioning. I only have time next month to check the warnings. May be, in the meantime you can deactivate the PHP warnings.

You need to do some more debugging.

Your referenced test page still looks strange. You doubled your main menue, you still have Yoast SEO pugin active, you included various scripts, you have fancybox active, I do not know your php-version etc..

Try to set up a simple page which ONLY contains the searchbox shortcode and the display shortcode, nothing else. No NextGEN gallery, no doubled heading, switch off any code compression, deactivate All plugins beside NextGEN and smart image search. Check the result. If need be, you can modify the settings of NextGEN (e.g. no fancybox lightbox) and of smart image search (e.g. searchbox parameters).

It really looks strange. The code on your page is almost correct.

The searchbox contains two hidden input fields and the text input field for your search string. Something on your site changes a closing parenthesis of a parameter of the second hidden field to a special character. Therefore the text input field is interpreted as part of the parameter, which was not closed correctly. As a result your searchbox contains only two hidden fields and has height = 0. That is why you see the thick black line, which surrounds the searchbox with height 0.

I suppose that some function on your website (most likely your theme) is editing the generated webpage text output thereby accidentally changing that closing parenthesis.

I would recommend testing your webpage with a standard wordpress theme to see whether the searchbox works correctly.

Hi Paul,

you should first pay attention to the warning and correct the shortcode parameter. It is search_galleries and not searchgalleries.

Kind regards,
Harald
