AFC and Ajax Search Pro – Filter & Search Problems

[omkb78]

Hello,

we do have some problems with Ajax Search Pro and ACF. We using ACF a lot, and need Ajax Search Pro to work good with ACF.

1) Check omkb.de/videos – If you use the filter for “Unternehmen” for example, if you choose “AB Tasty” it will show you one result. But if you search the page for “AB Tasty”, you will get two results. We don’t get it. The ACF field does include “AB Tasty” in booth cases. We see this problem at some other points too, that the filter are just not working good enough. Even with Categories, which are not ACF fields, we get some errors.

2) If you use the search on the page. There is some case, when the picture is not shown right. Search is just showing another picture. I can’t say why.

Can you help me?

Best

Hi,

1. That means, that the word “AB” and “Tasty” are matched in either some other selected field (like title, content, excerpt, taxonomy terms etc..).
When I click the second result, I can already see multiple matches for both keywords: https://i.imgur.com/scbjjLu.png

2. I tried the search phrase “AB Tasty” and the second result is pointing to this image URL: https://omkb.de/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/reviews-logo-fallback.png
..this URL goes to a blank 404 page. Check if the featured image is set correctly, as it seems that this file does not exist. The plugin requests the image from WordPress core, and the first default source is the featured image, so I assume that is set incorrectly.
You can also change the image sources as you wish: https://documentation.ajaxsearchpro.com/general-settings/image-options

Hello, we use this Script:

function acf_set_featured_image( $value, $post_id, $field ){

if($value != ”){
//Add the value which is the image ID to the _thumbnail_id meta data for the current post
delete_post_thumbnail( $post_id);
add_post_meta($post_id, ‘_thumbnail_id’, $value);
}

return $value;
}

// acf/update_value/name={$field_name} – filter for a specific field based on it’s name
add_filter(‘acf/update_value/name=logo’, ‘acf_set_featured_image’, 10, 3);
add_filter(‘acf/update_value/name=speaker_bild’, ‘acf_set_featured_image’, 10, 3);
add_filter(‘acf/update_value/name=image’, ‘acf_set_featured_image’, 10, 3);
add_filter(‘acf/update_value/name=speaker_bild_in_video’, ‘acf_set_featured_image’, 10, 3);

Okay, so that I can imagine cause the issue, as the featured image is still set, but points to a non-existing file.

Try this configuration then: https://i.imgur.com/YlOYh3g.png

We have fixed the image (path was not set right in AJAX Pro) and setup the configuration as you described. Problem still is there.

– What search phrase should I test for to see missing images?
– Can you please link to a post where the image should be present?
– Can you please add temporary (s)FTP and back-end details, so we can debug the code if neccessary and check the configuration?
