In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Comments Do Not DisplayThank you Takayuki – it turned out that a plugin upgrade I installed rewrote some code in the site, and it was this action that caused the problem. It’s now fixed, but I appreciate your help.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] Comments Do Not DisplayThe theme I use comes from Gabfire and Contact Form 7 worked with it perfectly until I updated to the latest 5.5.6 release.
At the same time I updated Contact Form 7, though, I also updated All-in-One WP Migration and Wordfence Security.
Other plugins I use on the site are AdRotate, Akismet, the Classic Editor (ie WordPress), Gabfire Widget Pack, Heartbeat Control by WP Rocket,
Relevanssi, Social Snap, SSL Insecure Content Fixer and Yoast SEO.Thank you for your thoughts on this, Takayuki

In reply to: Post_Date Search Results In WP 4.9.4Thank you very much Jacob!
I agree with you that editing a core file is inadvisable and something I’ve always tried to avoid (so far, successfully – which is probably why our recent big leap upgrade went so smoothly)
Anyway, I’ll locate the search box function in my theme, try this and let you know how I get on.
Much appreciated 🙂

In reply to: Post_Date Search Results In WP 4.9.4Thank you very much Jacob
Personally, this is a bit of a bummer – as a news site, we want to display stories in chronological order (ie by post date, backwards in time) because it gives our readers a better experience.
So I guess my only option will be to hack class-wp-query.php to make post_date the dominant search results driver, then repeat the exercise every time there’s a core update.
Still, maybe a future release will give site operators the ability to choose what search criteria they want to be dominant (eg: relevance, post_date etc).
This would be a snappy improvement to make, though I expect there’d be some complex coding required … and class-wp-query.php is already a very long and complex routine.
All the same, very much appreciated 🙂
