Blank Plugin Editor: search-filter.php file encoded as ANSI instead of UTF8

  • Hey there,

    I just tried to edit the search-filter.php file in the WordPress plugin editor to change the default category html select size and realized that the file was empty in the plugin editor.

    Solution: Converting the file encoding from “ANSI” to “UTF-8” in Notepadd++ solved the issue, so I could edit the file in the WordPress Plugin Editor again.
    Hope this helps anyone!

    Best regards,
    Matthias

    P.S.: It took me a while to realize that not all available options are listed in the plugin site in the WordPress Administrator Panel (e.g.:
    https://my-wordpress-site.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=searchandfilter-settings
    ) but more options are explained here:
    https://docs.designsandcode.com/search-filter/#options

    It is probably a good idea to update the list delivered in the plugin code or add a note in the “Arguments” section of the Settings page of the WordPress instance, stating that more options are available and explained on the designsandcode website.

    Thanks for flagging – I checked this in my dev setup but couldn’t see it – checking the repo version though and you are correct.

    So I guess during this last round of updates I’ve updated this back to UTF 8 anyway ??

    The update with this fix coming towards the end of this week.

    Thanks
