Can’t add my own Apache Solr or use a different OpenSolr account

    Bonjour,
    I wish to purchase your WP plugin so I went to try your free version first but I’m deeply confused.
    I’m running my own Apache Solr on AWS and when I use your plugin, I went to connect to my self-host server and did the configuration as shown here -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zREe9eMza4oXCRNJj-X8Bfxe7CYarLDx/view

    But when I pressed “Check the index status…” button, the plugin did create a folder “xxx_index2” in my Solr server under /var/solr/data. So, I have /var/solr/data/xxx_index2 now.

    Then, I followed the red text that appears on the plugin and copied the config files to my server. I pressed the “Check the index status…” button again but nothing happened. And there’s no save button as well. I don’t know what I should do next. When I refreshed, the configuration I created disappeared.

    How can I resolve this?

    So, I went to create a new OpenSolr account. However as I was using your WPSolr plugin on my test server, I can’t seem to change the current free index config on the setting , as shown here -> https://share.nmblc.cloud/61e164ec

    How can I add a new OpenSolr account?

    And, lastly, the WPSolr plugin only supports PHP 8.1 and above so it doesn’t support our production site (PHP 7.4 with WordPress 6.3), as shown in the attachment. I can’t upgrade to PHP 8.1 because PHP 8.1 is NOT fully compatible with WordPress 6.3 that I’m using.

    Do you know another version of your plugin that supports PHP 7.4?

    Hello,

    WPSOLR does not work with PHP 7.4. It requires PHP 8.1.

    Would you like to continue investigating your issue?

    Yes, please.

    You should execute the red instructions first, as they will install the necessary Solr config files before WPSOLR creates the Solr index (aka “core”).

    I advise to:
    – Restart a new index setup in WPSOLR, with a new label and name
    – Execute the red instructions
    – Let WPSOLR create the index with the “Finish” button

    Let me know how it goes.

    Yes, I understood that. But that is the issue. I can’t seem to add not create an index for OpenSolr via your plugin. You see, I have another OpenSolr account and my index name and path is solr/57e0b0e7c5fd1185e41edfxxxxxxxxxx and my host is de9.solrcluster.com but when I added it under the “configure another index” tab I get an error saying “the index already exists.” This means I can’t create a new index via your plugin. So I went to enter the a non-existing index name on your plugin but I got “Forbidden” error as shown here.

    Sorry, hang on. I finally managed to connect to OpenSolr. But now it throws a new error.

    Solr HTTP error: Bad Request (400) { “responseHeader”:{ “status”:400, “QTime”:3}, “error”:{ “metadata”:[ “error-class”,”org.apache.solr.common.SolrException”, “root-error-class”,”org.apache.solr.common.SolrException”], “msg”:”ERROR: [doc=193] unknown field ‘index_model_version_str'”, “code”:400}}

    Nvm, I figured that I need to upload your configuration files (zip).

    With OpenSolr, the situation is different.

    WPSOLR will upload configuration files automatically, but also configure a great deal of things on your behalf: archives, search, facets and sort plugins, recommendation widget, and so on.

    Just follow the setup wizard, and you should be running in seconds.
