How to show short description for Pages in results

Hi,

If your pages have excertps or anything in their description fields, then those would show up. Make sure you have not changerd the primary and secondary description fields here: https://i.imgur.com/CEvO6RM.png
If the configuration is that, then there is no text within the page excerpts nor their content. If you are using some sort of a page builder, it may store the page contents somewhere else – like a custom field. Try maybe changing this option first: https://i.imgur.com/mtAiVTk.png
If the descriptions are printed via a shortcode it should help with that. Otherwise I assume it is stored in a meta field of some sort.

Can you add temporary FTP and back-end access to the site? If you want, I can check if there is anything I can do about it.

Oh, sorry, that actually works, I wanted to try the back-end first.

Unfortunately I can’t see any content when requesting the page contents from WordPress, it returns simply nothing at all, an empty string. If you want, I can try checking the back-end for custom fields as well.

Thanks!

I may have found a possible solution. I have added the following custom code to the functions.php file in your theme directory. Please keep it there:

add_filter('asp_results', 'asp_fg_results', 10, 1);
function asp_fg_results($results) {
	foreach ( $results as $k => &$r ) {
		if ( $r->content == '' ) {
			$groups = acf_get_field_groups(array('post_id' => $r->id));
			foreach ( $groups as $group ) {
				$fields = acf_get_fields($group['key']);
				foreach ( $fields as $field ) {
					$s = get_field($field['name'], $r->id);
					if ( !empty($s) ) {
						$r->content = wd_substr_at_word(strip_tags($s), 150) . '..';
						break 2;
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
	return $results;
}

The page contents were indeed empty. Everything was build via ACF, which is unfortunately not searchable and is not returned when requesting the post content. The function above should take care of it to some extent.
