Fantastic work, thanks! I’m sure someone will ask for the additional Description search to be one of the setting options for each Directory in the future, but working great for full search of both Name and Description now.

Cheers,

Hello,

I think just a simpler “full phrase” search would be fine almost all of the time, working just like the search works now but in the description also.

Adding options for And/Or searches, automatically ignoring some words like “a” and “the” that the user enters, and adding highlighting might be nice for some small number of users but is not really needed in my opinion since this plugin is really likely to be used for a simple directory listing (with short descriptions).

And if you just do the more intuitive full search string matching that any user will expect and understand, then there’s no need to filter out words like “a” and “the” since the user will assume it is full phrase matching like you are doing now with the listing Name.

My use case is a neighborhood resident directory, where the Description holds the street address and contact info of each resident. The search works fine if you want to search by name, but it currently doesn’t work if you want to search by address (e.g. “123 Main” returns nothing).

Thanks,
D.

I love using ThemeFrame but if you’re new to WordPress or not at all technical it might be a bit confusing to get started developing themes with it, even though it is partially drag and drop. You have to understand the elements that go into a theme as well as WP inheritance rules, such as how making some changes on the index template will impact other page templates you add to your theme if you don’t override the individual style settings there, etc.

If the above lost you, you may just want to stick with prebuilt themes even though ThemeFrame is a really great tool.

Regarding SEO, ThemeFrame does have some SEO smarts as part of its standard theme generation but I would just add a plugin like Yoast SEO or one of the others to your WP install to fully handle SEO.

Meant to add one enhancement suggestion…

Would be nice to have an option to set the alignment of the page icons to right instead of left (set .meteor-buttons {right: 0px;} instead of .meteor-buttons {left: 0px;}

Thanks!

I had the same problem with my theme and removing the function that auto-added links to thumbnails solved this for me too. This is a slick and easy to use plugin (I love the Slides menu to manage the slides — even my clients can handle that) — many thanks!

PS: I use a theme generator tool so I’ll have to keep removing this function from my generated functions.php file, which is not a big deal. But… if it would work if your plugin used !important when setting the href to take precedence on the slide images that would really be ideal in a future version. Then the nice theme auto-linking function could remain and wouldn’t be in conflict.

Thanks again.
