My search results show the name Steve (my WP login name) and not the name of the author associated with a post. For example is post titled Test 2 has author Bob Jones on http://www.jamestownspeaks.org/pages/jimflix/. A search on “short” lists Test 2 but the name Steve is displayed. Is there a way to have author name displayed?
Also, when I search on the title “Test 2” I get no results instead of the Test 2 result. Why would that be?
Thanks.
Hi Jim!
The “test 2” issue was related to the fact that the index table engine does not index words below the length of 3 by default. It most cases that is optimal, but in yours it might not be the best option. I’ve changed the minimal word length to 1 on the index table options panel and re-created the index table: http://i.imgur.com/SByLmvO.png
Now it should return the correct result.I’m guessing when a user submits a post, it’s still stored as if your account was the author, and the real author is stored within a custom field. When the search requests the author, wordpress returns your name.
Luckily there is a way to get around that. I’ve put together a quick code snippet for you to get the author name from the custom field.:You can put this code into the functions.php file in your active theme directory. I hope it will work.
That works. Thank you!!
In another response you invited me to summit a review which I would like to do. Should I do that on your WP plugin page or elsewhere. The reason I ask is that I would like to comment (positively) on the pro version but the WP page is for the free version.
You are welcome!
You can do that here on the codecanyon item page: https://codecanyon.net/item/ajax-search-pro-for-wordpress-live-search-plugin/3357410
By clicking on the stars on the sidebar (by the Rate the item text) I think it should bring up a dialog, where you can enter a text as well.Or on your codecanyon downloads page: https://codecanyon.net/downloads
Similarly, there should be a list there of your purchased products, and clicking on the stars should bring up the same dialog.The WP plugin page only stands for the free version, which is a different plugin 🙂
