<p>Adds an admin panel when editing edit pages, to let you rearrange this page’s child pages and switch their display on/off.</p>
<p>This will only affect parts of your theme that display a list of links to child pages, and only those which respect the <code>menu_order</code> setting. It has <em>no effect</em> on Menus. You need to edit those with the existing menu interface.</p>
<p>Actually displaying the list of child pages is outside the scope of this plugin – there are plenty of themes and plugins that do that.</p>
<h3>Developers</h3>
<p>For developers, there are a lot of hooks exposed by this plugin, which you can use to add fields and behaviours</p>
<p>When displaying the meta box:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>child_order_before_list</code> – Action called before writing the list of child pages in the admin area</li>
<li><code>child_order_before_item ($post)</code> – Action called at the start of each item</li>
<li><code>child_order_after_item ($post)</code> – Action called at the end of each item</li>
<li><code>child_order_after_list</code> – Action called after writing the whole list</li>
<li><code>child_order_item_title ($title, $post)</code> – Filter to control the title displayed for an item</li>
<li><code>child_order_message ($message)</code> – Filter to control the message displayed after the list</li>
</ul>
<p>When saving (in AJAX):</p>
<ul>
<li><code>child_order_children ($array, $parent_id)</code> – Filter to adjust the list of post IDs before saving</li>
<li><code>child_order_before_save ($array, $parent_id)</code> – Action called before saving the order of items</li>
<li><code>child_order_save_item ($id, $menu_order)</code> – Action called on saving each item</li>
<li><code>child_order_after_save ($array, $parent_id)</code> – Action called after saving the order of items</li>
</ul>
<p>If you wish to remove the “Edit” and “View” buttons from the output, call this on setup:</p>
<pre><code>remove_action('child_order_after_item', 'child_order_after_item_edit_link');
</code></pre>
<p>Be aware that the internal workings of the plugin are subject to change,<br />
so the names and details of these hooks may change in future version.</p>


Child Order

<p>This plugin adds to default WordPress search engine the ability to search by content from selected fields of Advanced Custom Fields plugin.</p>
<p>Everything works automatically, no need to add any additional code. The plugin does not create a search results page, but modifies the SQL database query to make your search engine work better.</p>
<p>Additionally you can search for whole phrases instead of each single word of phrase. As a result, search will be more accurate than before.</p>
<h4>New search core</h4>
<p>We modified the code of search engine. Content search is now faster by about 75% <em>(depending on the level of complexity of searched phrase)</em>!</p>
<h4>Support to the development of plugin</h4>
<p>We spend hours working on the development of this plugin. Technical support also requires a lot of time, but we do it because we want to offer you the best plugin. We enjoy every new plugin installation.</p>
<p>If you would like to appreciate it, you can <a href="https://ko-fi.com/gbiorczyk/?utm_source=acf-better-search&utm_medium=readme-content" rel="nofollow ugc">provide us a coffee</a>. <strong>If every user bought at least one, we could work on the plugin 24 hours a day!</strong></p>

ACF: Better Search


Not only was the plugin author responsive in a timely manner, they also actually updated their code to allow for filtering in new options to potentially search through. This opens the door for other plugin authors that work with ACF Field types to automatically extend ACF Better Search on their own.



Working together to make awesome interoperable plugins for the win.


Responsive and help support


In the past, I've used pre_get_posts() to filter in some ACF fields to my searches. And, you know what they said about pre_get_posts(), if that's the solution to your problem, now you have 2 problems. This plugin has been immensely helpful in simplifying the process of adding ACF fields to search queries. Huge thanks!


Makes the complex simple


Hi guys! First of all: thank you for this plugin. It's a must if you use ACF.



...I switched from GUI defined ACF fields to PHP defined fields (trough the ACF export to PHP utility) and the plugin stopped working.



Fortunately I seen this thread: "Problem with search from imported fields (acf-json)" (sorry, WP don't allow links in reviews) and I activated the "Lite Mode": all worked again fine.



...I think you should detect it and advice your users, or at least explain it in the settings pane, because if my first testing was with the PHP fields, maybe I was discarded your great plugin.



Anyway: Thanks guys! Great plugin!!!
