Hi Ernest,
Another late reply on my part. Sorry about that!
Attachment Search / Filter for Default Post-Format
To answer your question, yes, it is a taxonomy, with an exception that the ‘default’ term does not exist. The conflict arises from the way how the query is constructed, and that it can’t hadnle this exception.
I’m glad the solution works as it should, I will keep it noted, in case someone else needs it in the future.
Thanks for answering this. WordPress really should make the default format into an actual post-format (instead of the lack thereof). This has caused us issues on more than one occasion with filter related functions.
In any case, you found an effective way to solve this without compromising functionality. Indeed, you should definitely keep this solution for the future. You may even want to make it an option in core, as without this the filtering for the default format can’t work properly (under a configuration like ours).
Intermittent Bug With Number of Search Result Columns (Cards)
Thank you. Well, at least I know a bit more, it may help. I will go though this code section before the next update, in case I find anything suspicious.
I can also help you to test this issue. While I can’t provide direct access to our site (as it is still a private venture), I can work with you jointly to test the problem. If you have any ideas please let me know. I know how to modify scripts using developer tools to test things quickly. I just need to know what to look for.
Listing what is left for reference:
– Date Filter Bug
– Linking Attachment Search Results to Parent (Linked) Posts (Core Integration)
– Customizable Header in Settings Screen Date Filters
– Featured Image Source Size Not Working in All Situations
A major update is coming soon, the date filter issue and the attachment link will be included with it. The date filter header will stay as it is for know, until I work out a better layout.
I look forward to the update! That date filter bug is a bad one, and it will be good to see it go away finally.
Having the attachment link functionality in core will also be great. Ironically we’re having some difficulty on this end automating the linking of media in the library to the parent posts. The developers keep getting it wrong (but we’re working on it). Once that is working it will work together properly with this function in search.
The date filter header is the least important of all the above remaining items. But we’ll get to it eventually.
If you’re wondering, we’re just a few months away from our launch. There’s still a lot on the table, but we’re making great progress. We’ll also be completing some major functionality after the initial launch. I’ll keep you posted for sure! 🙂
