 * I managed to get the whole 80k records synced on Sunday, it took about 15 hours
   so im pretty keen to not touch this again. I created a backup in Algolia as well
   just incase something goes wrong. I didn’t get any error messages.
   Happy to test
   on a staging server if you still need me to look into something

 * We don’t have CLI access on this install, we may have to check with the host 
   for SSH access.
 * So for now, i’ve made that change, we haven’t updated the plugin yet but ive 
   manually made the change and run the sync again. We did have up to 30k records
   in there so hopefully, this runs smoothly overnight and doesn’t get rid of the
   30k already in there.
 * Will check back in the morning, thanks!

 * We havent found any significant errors in the logs, its essentually returning
   a browser alert with “undefined” which doesn’t tell us much.
 * Its a multi-language site so we’re not sure if its a bad character in one of 
   the records or really where to go from here

 * Ocasioanlly we got a 503 error as well, but its usually the “undefined”

 * We have added this code as well
 *     ```wp-block-code
       function my_algolia_timeout_increase( $args ) {	// Increase timeout to 3 minutes.	$args['CURLOPT_TIMEOUT'] = 180;	return $args;}add_filter( 'algolia_http_client_options', 'my_algolia_timeout_increase' );function wds_algolia_custom_searchclient_config( $config ) {	$config['connectTimeout'] = 5;  // default: 2	$config['readTimeout']    = 120; // default: 30	$config['writeTimeout']   = 120; // default: 30	return $config;}add_filter( 'algolia_custom_search_config', 'wds_algolia_custom_searchclient_config' );add_filter( 'algolia_indexing_batch_size', function () { return 25; } );

   in and resetting them, but this is a huge pain

 * Yeah I’ve also seen this come up and it’s caused a few issues where the sidebar
   will load in the ‘header-right’ widget area.
 * Is there way we can filter this or any other sidebars out from being an option?

 * Yes, it works for me,
 * You will need to check that the ID is getting pulled through, you might not want
   the author meta

 * Add it wherever you want you link to appear in your HTML
 * if you want to add it in php then you will need
 *     ```
       ?>
       <a class="btn aligncenter orange" href="/messages/?fepaction=newmessage&to=<? echo get_the_author_meta('login') ;?>&message_title=Hi <? the_title(); ?>&message_content=">Message <? the_title(); ?></a>
       <?php

 * Also interested in this.
 * I found a solution
 * `<a class="btn aligncenter orange" href="/messages/?fepaction=newmessage&to=<?
   echo get_the_author_meta('login') ;?>&message_title=Hi <? the_title(); ?>&message_content
   =">Message <? the_title(); ?></a>`
