    Thanks for the reply.

    Unfortunately I DID use the latest version of the plugin. As it is years ago that I actually changed something in the settings (without any problems) I tried to roll back to the previous version I used at that time. I had to go back to version 3.0 to make it work. Made my changes and updated it immediately again to the latest version due to security concerns.

    Not the most elegant solution but it worked 😉

    I figured it more or less out: the settings are stored in the options table

    “from_width”;s:3:”767″;s:8:”how_wide”;s:3:”104″;s:14:”menu_max_width”;s:4:”4000″;s:15:

    But now I have another problem:

    I can change the from_width to ‘999’ without problems. However if I take something higher, in wp dashboard, the values will change into crazy things, and unfortunately, the plugin will also use these values.

    From width becomes 768 and menu_max width drops to only 400…

    Has anyone an idea?

    Make on your site an html sitemap – many plugins can do this.
    In your browser, install a plugin like Downthemall (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/) or similar.
    Open the html sitemap in your browser and let Downthemall download all the html files to your computer.
    Cached!

    (be aware that this can let your server bleed if you download too many files simultaneously)

    Yes, I deleted the plugin and did a fresh install.

    Here are the results of the health check: https://pasteboard.co/JEwHoGP.png

    I’m sorry, but I’m not very keen to deactivate all plugins on a working website – just too tricky 🙁

    Thanks for your reply.

    However, we are not able to see thumbnails on your site now. Have you deleted the thumbnails or made any other change to the thumbnails part from SearchIQ settings.
    https://monosnap.com/file/0oQwNMGTjcxZRG1L6ocpr4UEU3IPvr

    Yes, it might be that I did something wrong, so I indexed the posts again.

    As a last resort: is it possible to use already generated thumbnails instead of the featured image? I already have thumbs of 144x190px

    — Yes, we can use already generated thumbnails instead of Featured image if the thumbnail URL is stored in a custom field.

    I don’t see any custom fields which may contain the tumbnail’s url (but I’m a novice on this subject). But I did a test with an unexpected result: I indexed the posts again with a custom field selected from which I’m sure it has no pictures. I expected that all pics in the search result would have gone, but I still saw the featured images pop up. Is this normal?

    To solve the thumbnail problem once and forever: do you think it make sense to delete my search engine and start all over again?

    — Yes, you can change the size of pics using custom CSS. You can copy the rule from SearchIQ CSS and use the same rule with your changes in the “Custom CSS” section under the “Options” tab in SearchIQ wp-admin settings. SearchIQ will automatically append this to the custom CSS and that’ll override the existing SearchIQ rule.
    https://monosnap.com/file/HstucSQovEkjApJDHCKjiNYg9hNBQV

    That can not work: it will change the output from both the desktop and the mobile site – I only want to change the mobile one.

    As my mobile site is on a seperate subdomain, I thought to be smart to use a custom css plugin on that domain. Did not work: the original css uses !important everywhere, and to overwrite it, my custom css needs to load later as the original one (and the searchiq codes are literally the last ones to load on my site – which is a good thing of course)

    If I may give some suggestions for a future update of the plugin:

    – make an input field where the user can input his mobile domain (if any) and use this input.
    – check if these !important tags are really that important

    Right now, my mobile plugin just uses the api and uses the search engine which knows only the desktop version. I can change settings in the mobile plugin, but they will have absolutely no effect. So I will see desktop things (like css) on my mobile site.

    As a result, many things don’t work (for instance the ‘mobile function’ – even if enabled on the desktop plugin – will not show any results (if it worked I would not need custom css lol)

    In autocomplete, the right search results pop up, but they have the desktop links. If you click, my site will automatically redirect them to the mobile url’s but it is so sloooooooow! (6+ seconds – pls try by yourself). Don’t understand how this can be – but it looks that at the same time, the browser contacts searchiq through the api for the stats; maybe this causes some conflict as the search engine don’t know the mobile url’s? Just guessing, on the desktop it works fine.

    One thing works as a charm: the normal search page. If you input a search term + enter, it will show the results with the normal mobile links which load fast.

    I realize that all of this can probably be solved with a second search engine, which in my case would require a pro subscription, which is a bit costly for a hobby project without income from publicity.

    But I also feel that a search engine should support mobile domains. After all, the content on both domains is identical.

    Just some food for thought. Searchiq is the best on desktop browsers, on mobile there is room for improvement – especially for sites on mobile domains.

    Alex

    Thanks,

    This was the first things I did and did not solve the problem…. I counted the thumbs and the number I found is almost identical as what I expected.

    BTW: is it normal that my thumbs have such strange names: image.jpg will become something like 17d6f9f14e48296ac7a2f8d49f81c718_s?

    As a last resort: is it possible to use already generated thumbnails instead of the featured image? I already have thumbs of 144x190px

    And for my mobile site (on a subdomain which causes a serious problems with searchiq); is it possible to change the size of the pics with custom css? Now it loads all the css of the desktop site with !important marks, making it impossible for me to change.

    Best regards,
    Alex

    Thanks for the fast reply, but I’m afraid I was not very clear ;-(

    The thumbnails are generated and I see them in my media folder BUT they don’t show up in the autocomplete search results.

    Instead I see the full sized images (resized to the right format)

    I think that is not the intention…

    You can see it very well if you open developer tools –> network and search for something (i.e. ‘de’, ‘het’, ‘een’). You will see that the full sized featured images are loaded – not the thumbnails.

    Best regards,
    Alex

    Problem solved.

    It seems you need to use %term% instead of %tag%

    A bit confusing knowing that I just imported my settings from Yoast where %tag% was working fine.

    Seems like I solved the problem in the most unprofessional way 😉

    After the 999th attempt to get the above code to work, Rank Math suddenly stopped showing the canonical tab. It looks like I caused a serious error (completely unintentionally).

    Stupid of me, but with the existing tag gone, it suddenly made sense to put some code in the header

    <? php
    $ permalink = get_permalink ();
    $ find = array ('https: //m.mysite');
    $ replace = '<href = "https: //www.mysite';
    $ output = str_replace ($ find, $ replace, $ permalink);
    echo '<link rel = "canonical"'. $ output. '">';
    ?> 

    It’s working!

    If anyone comes up with something better, I’ll gladly implement it – I can’t think of what will happen if my grandchildren ever find out what their grandfather did with websites 😉

    Also did not work ;-(

    I also tried to modify ‘formatting.php’ but I’m clearly not good enough to mess with these things.
