About WordPress AJAX Search And AutoSuggest Plugin 1.9.9

This plugin adds live search to WordPress. As a visitor types, it queries your content in real time and shows results in a drop-down list with featured images. Visitors can click a result directly or open the full search results page.

You can exclude post types or limit search to chosen ones, for example only pages. It handles built-in and custom post types such as posts, pages, products, FAQs and portfolios, and works with WooCommerce products. The file is version 1.9.9 from May 2018, so test it on a staging site first.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

  • Content sites with many posts, pages or custom post types
  • WooCommerce stores that want product search suggestions

Look elsewhere if

  • Sites that need filtering by price, attributes or categories, which the listing doesn't mention
  • Very large catalogues that need an external search service

Setup: using WordPress AJAX Search And AutoSuggest Plugin 1.9.9

  4. Place the search box. Add it as the documentation directs, for example through a widget or shortcode, and test typing.

Common problems and fixes

The drop-down does not appear, or results never load
Why it happens
A JavaScript error from another plugin or a minification and caching plugin is blocking the script.
How to fix it
Open the browser console for errors, exclude the plugin's scripts from minification, and clear caches.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
Why it happens
The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
How to fix it
Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
Why it happens
The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
How to fix it
Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
Why it happens
Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
How to fix it
Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
Why it happens
The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
How to fix it
Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
