Pro version is not working for me. the search is going forever. I used to have a free version downloaded from wordpress. It work pretty well.

Hi!

I cannot login to the back-end of the site, I’m getting this error:

[code]Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_home_path() in /home/racinne/public_html/wp-admin/includes/misc.php on line 16[/code]

Perhaps this is related to the search issue? The error is coming from a WordPress core file, you should definitely check, it might lead to other errors as well.

sorry. Server problem fixed now.

Hi!

There was an error generated because you are using an earlier wordpress version. I’ve made a correction in the plugin code to fix this, but I highly suggest updating to the latest wordpress version, as there was a critical bug discovered earlier this month in the WordPress core.

Thanks, It works now. But the speed is really my concern. It takes almost 8 seconds to load the result. Do you have any idea how does this happen?

Indeed, some requests were slower than expected.

I have modified the search algorithm file to a current test version, which should be faster. Currently I’m testing on the test page you provided, so far the results appear much fastear (in ~2 seconds)

However I can still see longer requests from time to time, which might indicate that your server needs more resources. I’ve tried for example the same search term several times, but the response times varied from 1 to 10 seconds. The request times went up drastically when I opened the back end of the site. If your traffic went up, you should definitely consider using a faster hosting plan. The search performance tracker also showed interesting values – the same requests took 0.09 seconds, then 5.3 seconds, then 2 seconds, then 0.09 seconds again.
This was also visible when refreshing some of the pages – sometimes it was quick, sometimes it took 10 or more seconds.

Anyways, the update I provided should make the responses faster, but I recommend checking if the hosting plan limits are enough.

Also, there are a few tips you can find in the documentation, which might be useful for performance tuning: http://wpdreams.gitbooks.io/ajax-search-pro-documentation/content/performance_tuning.html

Let me know if you have any questions.

Good to know, Thanks u very much. Just one question, every change you made is within that plugin? right?

Right now we have a big issue on our woocommerce. the add-to-cart button not working properly. Just want to be very clear its not caused by this so I can try to troubleshoot it.
