I forgot to check back on this topic. It all seems to be working as expected now, thank you!

It’s now at least mostly solved, I deleted a few unused albums/photos, after doing that the cleanup removed “ake” from the index completely, and re-indexing after that correctly added “?ke” to the index, and it remains after cleanup now. I think the problem remains for some photos with other characters still though.

So it looks like the index entry “ake” was probably created for one of my unused photos which may have been incorrectly named, and then every “?ke” got assigned to “ake” instead. But now that “ake” got removed from the index it started working properly again.

I think it is UTF-8 yes.

If I search the index for “?ke” (after remaking the index and not running cleanup) it shows “ake” with all the photo id’s with ?ke in the name, but using the search function on the site with “?ke” works fine even though the index says “ake”.

And when the index is added the log says “?ke”, but when the cleanup removes it, the log says “ake”.

I did some testing and unfortunately the same thing happens, but I can now see a pattern in the logs, it seems to only happen to photos with more unusual characters, like “?, ?, ?, ü, ?”

A photo that I could previously find by searching for “?ke” (which is part of the photo name) no longer works, here’s the line in the log about that photo after the cleanup:

“Idx: on:20.01.2023 10:39:39: cron-job (53347):?wppa_cleanup_index?Removed 34 from photo index word?ake?because word no longer in photo”

Ok sounds good, thank you

I tried Remake and then Remake Index again, like before it works fine after the Remake Index, but Clean Index starts automatically afterwards (an hour later I think) and when I let it finish the search is broken again. I will pause the event over the weekend until I can look into it more.

Is it safe to pause the Clean Index cron event with a plugin until I can get it fixed?

Thank you! I just checked it out and it’s pretty much exactly what I wanted, the only thing that’s missing is some visual feedback when clicking the buttons, such as slightly shrinking and/or changing transparency on click. I assume this is possible with custom CSS so I will try it myself

You’re right, disabling lazy load makes the problem go away. I’ll probably keep it on anyway though because it’s nice to have and I don’t think the issue is very common or impactful. Thanks

Thanks. Is there any easy way to add buttons like that with CSS, instead of moving the existing buttons? It would be great if I could have that layout and still keep the original navigation bar intact too, if possible.

That setting is pretty close to what I want, but without icons or any other visual indication I think it’s not obvious enough (a large part of those who will use my website are older and not so good with technology so I want to make things clear and easy to use).

I also like using the setting that exits when clicking on background, so if I had buttons on the side it would basically be like having the functionality of both settings at once.

I also think that positioning the exit button in the top right and making it a little larger would also be better, at least for me.

I’ll see if I can find some good svg icons, thanks.

I no longer need help with the original topic but I have a couple of other questions, I don’t know if I should post them here or make new topics, but here they are.

Sub-search doesn’t seem to be working, tested on my site and on the example on wppa.nl with the same results. With sub-search ticked it looks like it just makes a new normal search with whatever you input in the text field, it doesn’t limit it to the current results.

Another thing, I want to show the album viewcount next to my albums, but it only shows the combined viewcount of the photos inside the albums. In album settings I have it set to “top album only” on the viewcount on cover setting.

Refresh after one back click does what I want, but I would like that to happen after one back click without needing to manually refresh, if that is possible. I currently have breadcrumbs off but I will look at that more tomorrow.

With that setting enabled it still doesn’t work as I want it to. If I open up my website, then go to the album page, then click an album, then click back twice (first time I click back it only changes the url back to the album page url but nothing on the page changes, the album stays open), it takes me back to my starting page instead of the album page.

Great, now it’s truly perfect! Thanks again.
