2 questions: Author info & Search module

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 13

Hello!

Again thanks a lot for the great theme! I have 2 questions related to the author information and the search module:

1. I have been able to make category and author name appear in module 6 display under the article images as well as in the article itself under the title. I would now like to add a small thumbnail of the author next to his name at these 2 location. One of my idea would be to have a secondary author box (author_box_2), simplified with just small picture thumbnail and author name, and replace “get_author_name” function by “get author_box_2”. Is it a good idea and if so what would be the code for it? Otherwise, could you please advise a solution?

2. It seems the search module doesn’t return any result when searching for an author name or a category name, but only when keywords appear in an article title or content. Would there be a solution to fix this? A plugin maybe?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Best,
Sam

Hi,

Regarding your first question, unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an option for that and you would have to do it yourself or get some to do it for you as we cannot offer custom work as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support. You can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself or you could also use search for a plugin.

The search is limited to posts but you could try a plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-everything/ or similar.
Hope this helps!

Thanks

Thank you very much Lucian.

I have installed the “Search Everything” plugin which works pretty fine. The only disfunction I see is that when I search an author name, search module in the header returns “Pas de résultats” (means “no results”) automatically before I click search and get the proper results displayed in a page. Would there be a way to display nothing in this module when there’s no results? Or make the result preview also rely on “Search Everything” plugin?

Another question relative to the Search function. The results are always displayed on a page with the mention “If you’re not happy with the results, please do another search”. Where can I change/translate this sentence please?

Thanks a lot again!
Sam

Hi,

To return noting when there are no search results you could go to translation panel in theme panel and set just an “space” for “no results”: http://screencast.com/t/CdceGXrTWc
The “If you’re not happy with the results, please do another search” can also be translated/changed from theme panel > translation panel: http://screencast.com/t/5PbpQDTEbIcM

Thanks
