How can i exclude search bar showing in some pages?
Hi is it possible to search by combination attributes, tags, etc
This is a great plugin and I have 3 licenses. But over the last few months my two production sites repeatedly forget their purchase code, so to update it I have to go and find the code and put it back in there, which is kind of annoying. Has something changed in the way it is administrated?
Hi,
Not really, but it’s going to be changed very soon to a more robust solution, which should very likely prevent these issues too. The system checks from time to time for the purchase code validity, and it has to go through multiple APIs, and if there is a considerable delay or a server is not responding then it fails. We are simplifying that so only a local database is checked.
There is also going to be possible to add your purchase codes to the support site and see where they are active, or where they were last activated on.
Hopefully we can make it easier to use as time goes by.
Before I buy, I am looking at this look, but I need to sort via latest or oldest. Can it be done?
https://ajaxsearchpro.com/multiple-search-sources/Hi there is an issue with the result page. 1. Its not show all the result. I have 2,000 products that the name start with the word “Chair”. when I’m trying to search it it shows me that there are 50 results and not 2,000. 2. in the results page when it should show my 5 results it show less. its show sometime under 40 and sometime under 30. (for different searches). 3. I wanted to know if there is an option to add a button “show all results” at the end of the result list
Hi,
The results count is likely a misconfiguration, I recommend opening a support ticket and we will take a look.
Show all results can be added onto the live results list via these settings.
Hi is it possible to search with local woocommerece attributes?
Only global attributes are showing
Oh, local ones – those are stored as custom fields. (post metadata)
Hello,
I hope you are doing well.
Is it possible to try before buying? I’m thinking of installing it on a site with 18,000 posts.
Best regards,
Hi!
I’m afraid we can’t provide trials, but there is a completely free version here to try first. The Pro version has a more sophisticated engine (index table) which works much better for large number of items.
When I press enter on the keyboard it displays products as post and not woocommerce products? any idea why
Hi,
The redirection might be set to the regular results page and not the WooCommerce results page: https://documentation.ajaxsearchpro.com/behavior/return-key-and-magnifier-icon-click-actions
Thanks for your reply. Can you add option to display message when searching “Searching Please Wait”
I’m afraid that is not possible, however you an set the loading icon location for the live results list.
Hey there,
Is there a possibility to create a filter by mime type (pdf, jpg, etc…)? I couldn’t find the answer in the documentation.
Thank you very much in advance for the answer.
Best, Gui
Hi Ernest,
Okay, that’s a pity. I’m looking forward to the update that includes that feature 
Fantastic plugin.
Best regards, Gui
Hi Ernest,
Do you think you could add a ‘Favorite / bookmark’ post option? Here is an example, see the ‘Hearts’ in the archive: https://wpmovies.dev/ Then if you click on a post the heart icon is there as well, and it’s showing at the top right in the menu.
Ideally it would work with the Query Loop Block.
And more technical details here: https://developer.wordpress.org/news/2024/02/20/introducing-block-bindings-part-1-connecting-custom-fields/
I thought it would make sense to add such a feature to your search plugin. If you want to talk in private please let me know, thank you.
Hi,
Thank you for the suggestion. I’m not exactly sure if this would be a good core addition though. It is a nice feature, but is basically out of the scope of what the plugin represents – searching and filtering items. It looks like more of a feature for archive page layouts, so for page builders or themes.
Thanks Ernest, I understand. On a different topic, is there a way to output the search with your plugin, but via the Query Loop Block? I am asking because I would like to keep the search results visually consistent with the archives, cat, tags etc…
With the free version of your plugin, I was definitely able to use the WordPress Search Template for the output results, which I built exactly like all the other templates; using the Query Block tools, fo visual consistency.
Although, I must admit that I didn’t get a chance to use the Pro version yet! As I won’t have many posts on my website when it goes live very soon, so I just assumed that bause the Pro version has much more advanced features it might not be behave like the free version, especially when doing searches with different criterias.
Anyway, thank you for considering it, will report back when I am able to test it properly.
Thanks again for the great tools Ernest.
_price_html- will display the original output of the price field, requested from WooCommerce, this includes the regular and sale price when available, like: 25.00$ 22.00$
This not working in latest version. it shows both price instead of cutting the regular price.
I want to show like this Price: $10.00 Or if on sale show something like this: Price: $10.00 (this price will be cut) and shows on Sale price: $6.00
my support ended. can you help me here? i use woodmart theme and latest woo version.
I just purchased this plugin and added the purchase code. I’m looking through the documentation and have noticed that my version does not have the same options available as the ones displayed in the docs. There is no layout options, no autocomplete & suggest, no relevance options, no theme options, no advanced options. Ajax Search Lite is not installed. What’s going on here?
Hi,
I suspect you might be looking at the wrong menu. Make sure to create a search instance first. After that opening the search instance options (gear icon), you will see all the options you mentioned.
The latest version (4.26.8) of the plugin gives an error. The search engine does not work. I need to download the previous version (4.26.7).
I have wordpress version 6.4.4
thank you
it works now. I deactivated and re-activated the plugin and it was solved. Thank you
Hi, I’m trying to get password protected products to display in the search results. I’ve tried manually adding the product ID, as well as unique product tags to be included in the results, but they’re still not being found. Any suggestion on this? Thanks!
hello i want to know if its possible to group results by post type, something like in this video
https://drive.google.com/file/d/12gMzAAg8K0znmohgUcZsy57K3dpYyo60/view?usp=sharingHi Sir i am buy only your plugin , see you home page , but folder not have any demo data, need your demo data your demo site
need a refund my payment . how to refund?
Hi,
The demo data is not included as for each import the object IDs generated by WordPress is different and therefore it’s not possible to generate the same configuration.
For each example there is a link to a documentation, where you can see a step-by-step guide on how to make the same layout.
Additionally, you can check out these tutorials in the knowledge base for even more details. If you have any questions specifically you can contact us via support.
For refunds you can follow this link.
Hello,
I have been using Ajax Search to search and filter attachments. I have noticed that when I use the ‘Vertical Results’ or ‘Horizontal Results’ layout type, I am able to click on a result and the attachment URL opens in a lightbox. However, when I use the ‘Isotopic Result’ layout, the attachment URL opens without a lightbox. Although I prefer the look of the ‘Isotopic Result’ layout, I am wondering why the lightbox is not opening with this layout. I have activated the lightbox function in Elementor and I am not using any other plugin for the lightbox.
Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
Best regards
There in an issue now starting with 4.26.6 and the menu-editor of wordpress. It’s not possible to edit the menus entries anymore.
With 4.26.5: https://prnt.sc/nbavI8IQIDTc (everything fine. Menu editable as usual.) With 4.26.6: https://prnt.sc/1SjPsmGGmXif (The whole menu editing block disapeared. Just gone.)Revert back to 4.26.5 to get everything working again. Just want to inform.
Hello, Can I customize “Search Results Page” ? I need to show 4 products by row instead of three. Please, let me know. Thanks.
Ok, thanks.
Sorry to bother you again. I understand that your plugin does not affect the layout of the results page, but it seems to me then, that there is something weird in my site. If I disable your plugin the layout is correct (four products per row), but if your plugin is enabled the layour is wrong. You can see it in this 30 seconds video: https://www.loom.com/share/3fd0a90c1e1544f48ed4878082ad4e62?sid=4d3f6f27-f2fa-4e53-b201-cac4e821b24c
Hi. On search sources if we select only products some variable products dont show on search. if we add also the variations from post types these products appear but appear many times due to size.
How we could fix it? Thanks
Hi,
Each variation is stored as a separate product “variation” in the database, so if product_variation is selected, then all the matching ones are going to be returned.
It might be possible to somehow filter them out via custom field values, but I may need to look into it directly. Please open a support ticket and I will check directly. Thanks!
