Pro plugin version not able to search within other folders


  • Hello,

    I have purchased the premium version of your plugin and I cant seem to be able to search for files in directories that are not part of the media library.

    https://snipboard.io/DR5Ljd.jpg this is a screenshot of my uploads folder

    Is there a way to enable search within all the directories and subdirectories of the uploads folder?
    https://fulltextsearch.org/documentation/
    Could we use this function wpfts_index_post to include all possible directories and files under the /upload folder and not just the media library folders and files?

    Thank you very much in advance,
    Vasiliki


  • Hi, Vasiliki

    Thank you for the question!

    Yes, initially WPFTS Pro was only able to search within files that are included in WP Media Library. We are developing an addon currently which will enable search by any file or file directory.

    ETA of the test version is 25 Apr 2020.

    Hi @stark

    Unfortunately, WPFTS does not work with PODS custom fields "from the box", so custom code exists somewhere. I think your developer used another way to add data to the search index.

    We need to ask him or alternatively, I could check your code myself, it should not be too long. In this case please send me admin access to your resource using a private message.

    Thanks.

    Hi @davide-merlitti

    It happens because you have problems with wp-cron tasks or DNS configuration.

    If you have your website hosted locally, often the domain name is just recorded in /etc/hosts file. This is normally okay for browser access (and this is why indexing is coming well but slow when your WP admin is open). But PHP can not read /etc/hosts by some reason and thus indexing procedure can not go internally.

    Please read this solution and try it.

    Please let me know if it helps or not.

    Thanks!

    Hi @Nick

    Yes, the algorithm thinks the number of words here is more important than the exact phrase... Ideally, if we could justify the relative weight for the phrase matches. Currently, it's too low for your case, but I think if we can double it, this could solve the issue.

    I think to put this parameter to settings in the near future. Thanks!

    ah. Looks to be my mistake. Did not realize I had to uninstall the free version first.

    Disabled free version and now it's happy.

    thx
