 * My wp-admin, wp-login, xmlrpc urls is walled off by cloudflare, so nobody outside
   my typical ip range can even log in. I am pretty confused about how these attempts
   are even being made to begin with, and then why they are being sent as notifications
   but not being recorded by wordfence

 * Looking into it, the wordfence dashboard also is not recording these failed logins.
   I’ve just tried it out myself, got locked out on purpose, and THAT block appears
   in the block list.
 * Is there any way to debug this / find out whats happening?

   negative but they forgot to change the star rating.
 * Lucky for WP I guess

 * get_search_query() returns the search term – it’s not a function to make a search
   happen – Is the code you posted from your theme’s search.php template?
 * At the very simplest, a search.php template will look like this:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * Search Results Template
        */
       get_header();
   
       if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
       	<ul>
       	<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
       	?>
       		<li>
       			<a href="<?php echo get_the_permalink(); ?>">
       				<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>
       			</a>
       		</li>
       	<?php endwhile; ?>
       	</ul>
       <?php endif;
   
       get_footer();
       ```
   
 * Try replacing your search.php template with this and see if it works?

 * Flexible layout and Repeaters are “parent” fields and contain the other types
   of fields which are the ones shown in the options.
 * Like your flexible layout rows will contain text / wysiwyg / etc
 * The plugin works in my testing when searching content from flexible layout fields.

 * Do you have wp_debug enabled to see any errors?
 * I’m using this plugin on a few live sites and it works fine. It seems to be something
   particular to your environment or settings.
 * Also have you checked the plugin settings to see that the field types you want
   to search are enabled? Like [http://imgur.com/a/6V5yG](http://imgur.com/a/6V5yG)

 * Just a tip… You should include info like what version of PHP you are running 
   in this environment 🙂

 * Temporary patch: you can edit includes/search.php lines 60 – 61:
 *     ```
       $acfConditions       = $this->getACFConditions($query->query_vars['s']);
       $wordpressConditions = $this->getDefaultWordPressConditions($query->query_vars['s']);
   
       change to
   
       $acfConditions = $this->getACFConditions( addslashes($query->query_vars['s']) );
       $wordpressConditions = $this->getDefaultWordPressConditions( addslashes($query->query_vars['s']) );
       ```

 * the problem –– **LIKE ‘%test’%’) **
 * the search term was **test’** – this is not being escaped prior to insertion 
   to the SQL query?
