Hi!
The sorting is indeed a bug, just confirmed it on my test servers. Luckily there is a quick solution in your case. If you open up wp-content/plugins/ajax-search-pro/includes/search_content.class.php and go to lines 545-547, where you should see this:
[php]
if (count($all_pageposts)>0) {
usort($all_pageposts, array($this, ‘compare_by_rp’));
}
[/php]
Please remove of comment out these lines and the date sorting should work immediately. I’ve added this to the known bug list so the soon released next version will contain a bugfix.
I’ve also installed the recent qtranslate to another test server and the code is indeed not working for some reason. After more digging I’ve found that there is a compatibility issue with qtranslate after certain wordpress versions including the function I used. So I figured out another way, which is working on my end.
Try this code instead of the one I provided before:
[php]
add_filter( "asp_results", "asp_qt_correct_url", 1, 1 );
function asp_qt_correct_url( $results ) {
foreach ($results as $k=>$v) {
// Correct the url manually
$current_home = trailingslashit(home_url()) . qtrans_getLanguage();
$results[$k]->link = str_replace(home_url(), $current_home, $results[$k]->link);
}
return $results;
}
[/php]
I hope if will work on your side as well.
