PDF Thumbnails aren’t generating / showing in the search results. I have verified imagemagick 6 is installed using phpinfo. No errors in php logs either!
I also turned it on in the ajax pro search settings.Hi,
Thank you for the details, it helps a lot!
I have logged in to check, and there is indeed something missing as WordPress itself should automatically generate covers for PDF documents during upload. The most likely cause is that ghostscript is not installed, it is not well documented, but WordPress needs that to generate thumbnails.
If those thumbnails are not present, Ajax Search Pro will try alternative methods via ImageMagick, but the extension has to have access to PDF documents. It can be enabled via the policy file. Without that the script has no access to the PDF files. Correcting the policy file will very likely resolve the issue.
Thanks! I forgot the thumbnails are supposed to work in the wordpress media manager by default now. I had to install ghostscript on the ubuntu server and now they work in the ajax Ajax Search Pro preview while typing in the search field.
To get them to show in the full search results page is that something I have to do in the wordpress php template file? (content-search.php)
You are welcome!
Correct – The results page design/layout is out of the scope of the search as it is controlled by the theme. Usually it is passed to the
search.phpand then whatever is required in that file, it varies for every theme. In your case it is very likely thecontent-search.phpas you pointed out.To get the thumbnail URL you may have to use something like:
wp_get_attachment_image_url( get_the_ID() );
