Hi,

Search is not showing any result(s). I am using ‘tag’ on the website as well & this is working fine. I have got the following settings:

Search in the following post types: Journal entries (the correct post type)
Auto submit form: ticked
Field relationships: OR
Display results method: As an archive
Enter the file name of the custom template: archive-journal.php
Set a slug? : journal
Load results using Ajax? : ticked
Make searches bookmarkable?: ticked
Only use ajax on the results page?: ticked
scroll window to: none
Ajax container: .search-results
Ajax pagination type: normal
Pagination selector .pagination a
Search form UI : tag, search & submit button
Post status: published

This is on a live website, so I can show you over zoom or skype. Thanks for the help.

Hi,

OK, I now understand that I need to use the Relevanssi to search by author. I have:

1) enabled relevanssi on the advanced tab.
2) I have ticked ‘Use custom fields for excerpts’ on relevannsi’s ‘excerpts & highlights’ tab
3) On the indexing tab (in relevanssi’s settings) I have done the following:

– ticked post type as ‘journal’
– custom fields are set as ‘some’
– I have entered ‘Author display names’ as the custom field.

Is ‘Author display names’ incorrect for the custom field? As it still isn’t displaying any authors when searched. Thanks for your time!
