Thank you for the reply! Will give it a shot.

That seems to have done the trick.

I just deleted the WP cache bit in my .htaccess and it still does the same thing. So I don’t think that’s the problem.

I am beyond frustrated here. My search used to work just fine.

Bump?

Yup, that’s me. Easily disappointed. I also think there’s quite a few people here that are easily insulted if anything besides praise is posted here.

another contributing factor to this thread, for me at least is your usage of phrases like this,

Seems there is some time to respond after all.

what do you mean by that? I know how I take it, and its not in a good way.

Simple, because as I’ve said probably 10 times now, I haven’t gotten a reply in a over a year. Zero replies from anyone considered “support”. Now that I complained about it, you and a few others found some time to reply. It’s an easy to understand concept.

It doesn’t really matter to me if I posted a question per day for a year or posted 2-4 questions in the span of a year, that’s irrelevant. The fact is, in over a year of me being here, nobody’s responded to my questions regarding support. This is a support forum, I don’t have much reason to come here for anything else. A couple of people suggested that I join up and offer support to help, well, I have if you check my posting history. When I happen find a topic that helps me, I make sure to reply and let everyone know it worked or not. I suppose that doesn’t count as being helpful to you?

As as far as you saying this.

i dont think anyone that’ replied has gotten defensive. theres no reason to — we dont have an obligation, its not a job, threes no expectation, so there’s nothing to get defensive about.

I think that pretty much sums up my entire point. Maybe nobody feels an obligation to do anything, which is fine. But to me that breaks a commitment being this forum is called “support”.

As much as I enjoy a good debate, this is probably one of the more pointless so I’m not going to keep going back and forth to the same effect with you, sir. It’s accomplishing nothing. I’m not trying to make enemies here, but I’m also not just going to clam up and say nothing when I see something wrong.

I posted my feedback, and if you agree or disagree then that’s the nature of feedback. It’s my opinion, I don’t expect everyone to agree with it, especially the supporters of this forum as you obviously are.

If you don’t see anything broken here, then why fix it right?

Honestly, you guys can get defensive if you like, but the bottom line is I haven’t gotten a SINGLE response in over a
year until I did complain about it in this topic. Now all of a sudden I’m getting all kinds of replies. Isn’t that funny? Seems there is some time to respond after all.

There’s been a few people that agree with what I’m getting at. Like it’s been beat into the ground already, I get it, it’s free support, there’s not a ton of developers around, people can’t be bothered and so on. But I have a right to be disappointed too.

I take this forum as a commitment to support, whether it’s free or not. I run a free website too. Maybe it’s just me, but I stick to my commitments even if I cannot help my visitors. I don’t get all defensive and start going on about how my time is voluntary and I’m paying out of my pocket and not try to help.

I’m not upset because nobody can HELP me. I’m upset because I DON’T EVEN GET A RESPONSE AT ALL… period.

Like I said, and I’ll keep saying, I enjoy WordPress and greatly appreciate the time put into the development. But I have a right to voice my disappointment with the support forum. If you don’t like this or can’t understand it, then I’m sorry.

I’ve pretty much given up on getting actual help, now I’m just doing what this forum is for and giving my feedback.

Thanks for the reply. I may use it as a last resort. But I just really need to change the names .

This is feedback. What do you mean “what do I suggest?”
