Need a Wordpress Programmer to fix an issue with Search Results
Budget: $30 – $250 NZD
INTRODUCTION
We are a small music venue in New Zealand. We have a WordPress site near ready for release. The site has two issues with ‘search tag’ search results and two minor presentation issues with permalinks.
_________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
We have a WordPress site near ready for release, a staging site is to be worked on.
The site has one issue with a ‘search tag’ plugin where the search results from the tag search has issues. Note: our standard WP Search works perfectly (has Ajax Search Lite plugin installed)
The plugin used for the tag list search is Tag Groups . There is a developer page in the documentation (if that helps)
It uses ‘post type class’ from Events Schedule plugin (latest version and came with our theme Arte) for search results
Our Process for the Events and Pages the Tag List uses is:
1. We create an Event for a show
a. We enter the performer’s name Tag List uses ‘Artists (wcs-instructor) a post type: class’
b. The search results from the Tag List uses the Event information (and this is where we have issues)
2. We also create a Show Page for the show which is where the Tag List search results should link to when clicked
THE ISSUE
The Tag List search results has 2 issues:
1. The referred URL of (some) search result is the wrong URL (goes to nonsense Show Page)
2. There is no featured image in the Search Result though it is called
3. (Another 2 minor issues)
a. The referred URL all incorrectly includes ‘… /class/name-of-page…’ (I have a redirect to remove /class/ and that works) We want /class/ removed without need for a redirect if possible)
b. The permalink for search results shows:
“https://cellarstage.co.nz/wcs-instructor/oscar-ladell/”
We want this to show:
“https://cellarstage.co.nz/performer/oscar-ladell/”
VIEW THE ISSUE
You can see the issues on our live website https://cellarstage.co.nz (note all work will be done on our staging site for which access will be given to the successful contractor)
Main 2 issues:
In this example the Search Results link to the correct page
1. From Tag List search page (lower part of) https://cellarstage.co.nz/search-shows/
2. Select tag ‘Matt Joe Gow’ , goes to: https://cellarstage.co.nz/wcs-instructor/matt-joe-gow/
a. Note: There are no ‘featured images’ in any of the 3 search results
3. Select search result ‘Songwriters In The Round‘, goes to https://cellarstage.co.nz/songwriters-in-the-round/ (this is the correct link)
a. Note uses a redirect to remove /class/ from URL
In this example the Search Results link to the WRONG page
1. From Tag List search page (lower part of) https://cellarstage.co.nz/search-shows/
2. Select tag ‘Oscar Ladell’ , goes to: https://cellarstage.co.nz/wcs-instructor/oscar-ladell/
a. Note: still no ‘featured images’ in any of the 3 search results
3. Select search result ‘Midwinter Swing Festival‘, goes to https://cellarstage.co.nz/songwriters-in-the-round-2-2/ (this is the WRONG link)
a. Note also uses a redirect to remove /class/ from URL
Minor 2 issues:
a. Class in URL
1. From Tag List search page (lower part of) https://cellarstage.co.nz/search-shows/
2. Select tag ‘Matt Joe Gow’ , goes to: https://cellarstage.co.nz/wcs-instructor/matt-joe-gow/
3. Select search result ‘Songwriters In The Round‘, goes to https://cellarstage.co.nz/class/songwriters-in-the-round/ (I have a redirect to remove /class/ and that works)
We want /class/ removed without need for a redirect if possible
b. wcs-instructor in URL
1. From Tag List search page (lower part of) https://cellarstage.co.nz/search-shows/
2. Select tag ‘Oscar Ladell’ , goes to: https://cellarstage.co.nz/wcs-instructor/oscar-ladell/
We want this to show:
“https://cellarstage.co.nz/performer/oscar-ladell/”
(A COPY OF ABOVE IS ATTACHED WITH HYPERLINKS)
PLEASE NOTE
* Must be fixed in child theme
* We want to copy back changed files from staging to production (not push staging back)
