Q :: Why cannot see the templates while add/edit pages?
A :: The plugin copy the template files first time while plugin activated to the current active root folder.
In case you may have changed the theme after plugin activation OR
your theme folder don’t have permission to create new template file and copy the content, It may be possible.
Q :: What I should do if no template while add/edit pages?
A :: You should add the template files manually.
— Open the folder “wp-content/plugins/quick_search_vantage/templates/”
— get php template files inside the folder.
— qs_listing_page_template.php
— qs_event_page_template.php
— Copy both files and paste to wp-content/themes/CURRENT ACTIVE THEME ROOT FOLDER(eg. “vantage”)
— Go to wp-admin > Add/Edit pages > see the template added in “template” selection box.
Q :: How the plugin settings can I should check?
A :: Go to wp-admin > Listings (left menu) > Quick Search > Check the settings.
— Please find the file “qs_listing_data.json” for listings and “qs_events_data.json” for events and related notes.
— Check current “qs_listing_data.json” for listings and “qs_events_data.json” for events file permission.
— Please make sure to set “qs_listing_data.json” and “qs_events_data.json” permission “766” or “777” or give the file write permission
— Get the “qs_listing_data.json” and “qs_events_data.json” file folder location & open it.
— If this is first time plugin activation then you should press “Refresh Listings Data Right Now” and “Refresh Events Data Right Now” buttons.
— You may change maximum data limit as per your server capacity.
— Because many server have memory limitation so cannot collect much data to write in data.json.
Q :: All settings are ok, “qs_listing_data.json” and/or “qs_events_data.json” not empty then also why cannot see listing & search ??
A :: Other plugin or your child theme javascript may conflick with the jquery we are using.
— You can see the demo and it is working good with classipress.
— So you should deactive plugins and check the theme / child theme may create javascript error.
Q :: What is plugin limitation?
A :: Normally there is not limitation for the plugin but if your server memory is limited.
— If you increase records maximum limit for search, the server limit may create problem for some shared hosting company.
— If you may have bought the plugin and the memory limit is the problem, of cause the refund if your right.
Q :: What to do if our website records is larger?
A :: The plugin is for small site jQuery Quick Search only. If number of recored either listings/events are more than 1500 or 2000, it may now work properly. We don’t gaurantee for lare website to work this plugin.
— Small records like 1000 listings
— Small records like 1000 events
— For both above condition (no records larege than 1000) website will work ok.

Hi yea747 ,
Thanks for using our plugin and sorry for the problem in setup.
For now as per your last question — address not display mean it may be affected by any css and would you like to share your site url so I can see and solve your problem?
OR
please check the plugin settings once because if you have disabled the address from plugin settings of wp-admin, it will never display address.
Thanks
HI Vipul,
I have sent you an email with the URL link. !
BR,!
HI Vipul, would you be so kind to reply to my mail so that i can move ahead ? Many thanks!
Your plugin is really interesting, but changes the style a lot. Did you mind to create a similar plugin as a left sidebar widget? So, the style won’t change so much and a left sidebar with filters will be available.
hI André,
For left side widget, similar plugin may not work and for left side there are other plugins like recent listing and all.
This plugin mainly working on jquery search so every time load data for the page and it may slower the speed of page which is main reason why not adding for sidebar and only for special page.
Hi there,
I just purchased your plugin and when activating it I get this error:
” he plugin generated 221 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.”
Any advice?
Kind regards,
Ronald
