Hey,

thanks for reaching out and sorry for the unintentional silent treatment!
I have checked out your site but couldn’t find the search box anywhere on the page. Have you removed the search completely or am I missing something out?

Looking forward to your reply,
Petra

Hey,

thanks for reaching out and for the heads up! Yes, we need to fix that issue ASAP.

Once again, appreciate the feedback, take care and have an amazing day,
Petra

Hey,

thanks for reaching out – unfortunately our Search Everything plugin only improves WordPress default search functionality without modifying any of the template pages. In other words, the default WP search box is used by our plugin. And the position of that search bar is controlled via your theme.

If you have any other questions let me know. Take care and have a nice day,
Petra

Hey,

thanks for reaching out – unfortunately our Search Everything plugin only improves WordPress default search functionality without modifying any of the template pages. In other words, the searchbox is a part of your theme and not our plugin, sorry. Please check if you can update your theme or try using a different theme. You can also read this article on how to insert the default WP shortcode, maybe it will help you out.

Let me know how it goes, take care and have a nice day,
Petra

Hey,

thanks for reaching out and sorry for the late reply!
Unfortunately I can’t replicate the issue on my side.
The thing is that at the very basic level, default WP search looks for your queries in the published posts and pages — literal matches primarily.
Search Everything improves that WordPress default search functionality. In other words, you do not need to set anything special in the plugin settings in order to search the pages. Have you tried disabling the plugin, search for pages and it works?
Would it be possible to give me a link to your blog, so that I can take a closer look?

Looking forward to your reply,
Petra

Hey Nancy,

thanks for reaching out – sure you can choose a different thumbnail but it is a bit tricky because we need to override the featured image. Here it goes:
First, go to your create-new-post page or — even better — in one of your previous already-published-posts. On the right top corner you should see the ‘Screen Options’ button; click on it for the drop-down menu to open. After that, tick the box next to ‘Custom Fields’.

Now you should be able to see a new box below the editor called ‘Custom Fields’. Create new custom field, name your image that you would later like to use it as a thumbnail for this specific post (something like “My thumbnail”), enter the URL of the image you would like to use and finish with the click on the button “Add Custom Field”. Of course, don’t forget to save this draft, or publish the post when you’re ready.

After that, visit the settings of (y)our plugin and scroll down to the bottom. The option called “Use custom field for thumbnails” should now be available, tick the box next to it, and select the value you’ve set up before (if you used “My thumbnail”, select that one).

Now, the important thing is this: the value of the Custom Field stays the same for every new post, while the URL of the image (obviously) changes. In other words: the name of the Custom Field stays the same, images change. That’s because once you set up your settings in the plugin settings (when you choose which value our the Custom Field our plugin should use for the thumbnails), you won’t have to change it again in the future. This way you save yourself a lot of time.

Once you have set this up, you just add a Custom Field with every new post, set the image you want to use for the thumbnail, while the name stays the same. Also worth noting is that you should keep the images you want to use for thumbnails as square as possible and that they’re not too big. The perfect size would be 151×151 pixels (or bigger), but that is not that crucial.

Sorry for this long reply, let me know how it goes,
Petra

Hmmm…weird. I will try to replicate the issue on my side. In the meantime would you be so kind and give me a link to your blog? Also, a list of your other plugins would be really appreciated.

Looking forward to your reply and sorry for the inconvenience,
Petra

Hey,

thanks for reaching out and sorry for the late reply!
You can change those by going to plugin settings-> “Advanced settings” and in the “Custom CSS” box add:

ul.related_post li a {
    color: black !important;
    font-size: 15px !important;
}

Don’t forget to save the changes and let me know how it goes,
Petra
