One of the search instances is not working

[yair07]

I have several shortcodes with the Ajax Search Plugin.
They all work perfectly well, except for one which has worked fine in the past but seems to have been broken for a while.
I have not changed any settings in the plugin since it has been working so I don’t know why it suddenly broke.

You could see the functionality on this page:
https://digitalnomads.world/benefits/#search
The instance is called “Member Benefits” (ID 3)

Thank you

Hi,

Thank you for the details!

It is because of a recently added feature, which fixes a previously known issue, but in your case it had a “reverse” effect.
You have a few exclusions set, as you can see here. The category Member Benefits is excluded, which by default should suggest that everything within that category should be also excluded.
Previously this wasn’t the case, unless the subcategory items were also marked with the Member Benefits parent category.

In the newest release however this is fixed, and everything is excluded by default, but I have added a fallback option, in case something like your issue comes up. I have switched this option off, so it behaves now as it did before and everything should be okay.

Thanks for the explanation and quick reply.
That did the trick.

Once again thanks for your efficient and helpful service!
