Hi Michael,
Sorry, I think the previous thread got closed automatically – when a support period is over, the thread remains open for a few weeks, then it is closed automatically. I am not sure however, why I didn’t get notified of your responses, I might have to check the code, I might have messed up something with the notification of ‘about to expire’ threads.
Date Filter Bug
I am not sure why, as it works now on my end. I have re-tested it just now, and it works: https://i.imgur.com/KTAGSXE.png
(don’t mind the debug data on the screenshot) Basically it is a post, that I just made, then used this filter only, and it appears to work. You can see the filters there as well.
The only possibility I can think of, is that pershaps there might be a time-zone difference between the server/browser time, hower that should be corrected by WordPress automatically, as there is a separate field, that stores the publish date by GMT time zone. I honestly don’t think I can tell without actually seeing the code.
Featured Image Source Size Not Working in All Situations
That is correct, the featured image size only affects the post type results. However, since attachments are actually post types as well (there is a sublte difference, but basically same database table), I think I can correct this, or at least I hope so.
Attachment (Media) Images are Not Being Automatically Added to Index Table on Post Creation
I noticed this as well during testing, this is going to be fixed by enabling temporary WP Cron jobs. It is for safety reasons, mainly to prevent server overload, in case the user has PDF/File content indexing activated.
To resolve it, on the Index Table submenu, under the Advanced Options, try enabling the cron job: https://i.imgur.com/HodaCF3.png
That should solve it for now.
Intermittent Bug With Number of Search Result Columns (Cards)
I will try to trigger this somehow, this information might actually help, as I know where exactly to look. I cannot replicate it though.
The “See More Search Results” Button is Not Using Correct Font-Color Style on Mobile Devices When First Loaded
The button content does change after the loading process, but the structure does not (should not). Can you paste that custom CSS here? I would like to test it.
Linking Attachment Search Results to Parent (Linked) Posts (Core Integration)
This feature is implemented, this week I am planning to release the update. It is a major release, many new features and major improvements. I had to postpone it from last week, it is too much to test properly in a short time.
Spelling Error for Synonyms Button
Thanks!
QUESTIONS
A (synonyms) – I am not sure if you read the synonyms documentation, but it may clear up a few things. In short: during the indexing, each of the defined synonyms are checked against the keyword to be indexed from the original source. If matched, then the defined synonyms (for that keyword) are included for indexing as well. Currently only the original keywords are checked – meaning that if you have synonyms defined for word ‘a’ -> ‘b’, ‘c’, then ‘a’ is not commutatively synonym for ‘b’ and ‘c’, only ‘b’ and ‘c’ are synonyms for ‘a’. This is intentional, mostly because of performance reasons, but I am hoping to resolve it later.
B (lazy loader) – It is not enabled by default, you will find it under the compatibily options, here: https://i.imgur.com/VAOTiMh.png
This took ages to test, and it works with the ajax results. Really hard to test, if you have a high speed internet. If the images were already cached by your browser, then it is virtually unnoticable. If you sometimes notice a very short flash of loading of the images during pagination/scrolling of long result lists, then it definitely works.
