    Hi,
    i just auto-updated to 4.20.7 and i can´t change anything within search instances because all the options are gone. (see screenshot)
    same issue with a new created instance. i already tried a manual update as well as deactivating other plugins. no error messages shown.

    search itself & main plugin settings seems to work fine as always.

    greets andreas

    Hi,

    Try clearing your site and browser cache. Looks like there is some sort of a script conflict there and it prevents the options from loading properly.

    You may have a corrupted file there. The error refers to a file that has not been changed in the most recent release. Try deactivating, deleting then re-uploading the plugin. That should resolve the file corruption issue.

    Hi,
    i also tried that. and tried to install an older version. didn´t work.
    you are right, it may not be update related.

    the only other cause i could imagine is: we changed from ngx to apache a couple of days ago.

    see php info attached.

    but i don´t know, if that caused something and how to fix it, since other plugins work.

    I’m afraid no. Did you install the plugin via the plugin manager or via uploading via FTP?
    If you did via FTP, make sure to do it via the plugin manager.

    I did via plugin-manager.

    If i export my search instance and then do a “wipe and deactivate” and import the search instance in a fresh install, will every option of my search instance be as before?
    As a last try i will go for that…

    It should be, yes. I was just about to recommend a plugin wipe, in case there is a data consinstency issue. If there is something with the data, then be prepared that the export file might be corrupted as well. Take a few screenshots of the options just in case.
    I think it’s highly unlikely, the error reported there looks completely different. I checked the reported file again for errors, but it looks perfectly fine.

    Wait, I may have found something. I just udpated all php8 modules, and was able to replicate the issue. I found that a specifier was not working properly with the sprintf() function with php8. I’m not sure why, but I replaced it with something different and now it is okay.

    Please:

    1. Open up the wp-content/plugins/ajax-search-pro/backend/tabs/instance/general/behaviour.php file on your server
    2. Replace it’s contents with this
    3. Save

    Then it should work all right.
