Thanks, it is solved now. For some reason (out of the past I guess) there were a bunch of core.number (like core.71564) files from 65Mb in wp-content dir and after removal it works.

Thanks very much for your help Ovidiu! With your help it solved the problem and it works perfect ??

Thank you David for reply and also for pointing the HTML error. I changed it.

For testing I created a page called test and placed the search form and the mla short-code to see what is happening. So the code I place is:

<form id="mla-search-form" method="post" action="https://test.albuswebdesign.nl/wordpresstest14/test/">
	<input type="text" id="mla-search-box" name="search-string" value="">
	<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="GO">
</form>

[mla_gallery post_mime_type=all post_parent=all s="{+request:search-string+}"]

Here is the page: test page

When it is easier to trouble-shoot I can give you log-in details (send me a mail info[at]albuswebdesign[dot]nl).

Thank you!

Hi David,
Thanks for quick reply!
Sorry, I did not pay attention enough. I placed the search form and the mla short code both in a mla text widget or on a page, that’s why I got all the media files visible.

Now I placed the search form code in a mla widget and the mla short code on a page called search-form and with one website it works but another website what I type I get no results, strange enough. Can I troubleshoot this on a way? The websites are different, plug-ins, themes.

working site

mla text widget

<form id="mla-search-form" method="post" action="https://test.albuswebdesign.nl/wordpresstest/search-form/">
	<input type="text" id="mla-search-box" name="search-string" value="">
	<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="GO">
</form>

not working site

mla text widget

<form id="mla-search-form" method="post" action="https://test.albuswebdesign.nl/wordpresstest14/support/manuals/search-form/">
	<input type="text" id="mla-search-box" name="search-string" value="">
	<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="GO">
</form>

And thank you for your help and patience!

Hi David, it works! Thank you very much for help.
I have a question about it, of course in a widget in a sidebar it is not workable on this way because with the command all the files are displayed in the sidebar.
Is there a way to have a search form and not displaying the whole list of files (PDF’s in my case)?

Yes, that was the solution for this slider!

Sounds promising! I will try that. Thank you @maggieymae

Hi Ovidiu, I tried retry link but same message.
Also tried to exclude different directories (for test wp-content or wp-includes) and I tried to exclude different tables (like nextgen or others) but still same error.
So now I don’t know what to do.

Could there be a problem at the hosting provider site?

And the message “unexpected character” I think it has to do with indeed a strange character?

Thank you.

Thank you for the quick reply Ovidiu! I will try the retry link and also try to exclude folders. And than I try later manually copy/paste the folders.
I will respond later what happened.

Exact @datiswous! That is what I mean ?? I have found a plug-in what almost does what I need but the zoom window is on another position than the original image. And… I am not sure how the support will be.

Good afternoon David,
I will try this weekend the cloud shortcode together with the text widget.

Indeed I meant a text box where a user could enter one or more keywords for searching the right PDF file in the media library. Better, a search text box in the sidebar (e.g. as a widget or else I will program it into the sidebar.php file).

So when you have a simple text search example, I would be thankful!

And… have a nice weekend and thanks again for the reply ??

Thank you Jorge for your answer and support. It is clear to me.
I will find another solution and definitely can use your plug-in at another occasion.
Thanks!

Hi David, thanks for quick reply.
Because English is not my native language I think I had a blunt way of expressing something.
I meant, I need a WordPress search form (e.g. in the sidebar) for a user finding a specific manual (pdf) file. With the MLA plug-in I am able to display a list of all PDF files (manuals) on a specific page, but better would be having this integrated into search. Hope this is clear.

Oh, the correct link to the topic is: look here

Thanks Silvo for your very quick reply. I thought it would be quit easy to filter only PDF documents in the search on some way. But, I am not a plug-in creator ??
Indeed maybe in de near future.
You too have a nice day.
