Super Speedy Filters 4.83 Beta 4 July 2023

Optimised main query
tested without variation stock check
tested with variation stock check
tested with show single variations, e.g. show colour when filtered
all working great
new CTE approach failed performance tests, used different technique to group products
Added new check for canonical URLs to avoid creating canonical link if canonical would be empty
Daniel had set max terms in canonical to 0 – he is using rankmath for canonicals but us for other SEO stuff
If you set max terms in canonical to 0 now or do a similar technique to break our canonicals, the canonical link will no longer appear on those pages

Super Speedy Filters 4.82 Beta 30 June 2023

Fixed tab JS problem which was causing other Woo tabs to be deselected
Fixed dropdown display type, I'd broken this a few versions ago – I've added now a dropdown to my test environments
Removed console output from JS
Fixed hidden products
exclude-from-catalog correctly read now for ultra-fast object_ancestors table
objects are removed from object_ancestors table if they are hidden from the catalog since the oa table is only used for archive and archive counts
full table build also handles hidden objects
Added new improved CTE approach to grabbing first product
e.g. if parent + 2 child variations match, it will fetch parent, if 2 children match, it will show the first child.
more config to come for this

Super Speedy Search 4.06 30 June 2023

Removed warnings and errors that were occurring on initial installations
Hardened the initial build
do not allow override of front-end forms until tables are built
ensure build does not encounter errors
Changed SET sql_mode='ALLOW_INVALID_DATES' to SET SESSION sql_mode='ALLOW_INVALID_DATES'
added checks for existing indexes to ensure no errors come back from wpdb
added checks all over for brand-new installs to ensure no errors reported to debug.log
added checks for new unsaved widgets to make sure these don't show errors
Fixed tab JS problem which was causing other Woo tabs to be deselected
Changed default for Ajax Date display to 'hide'
v4.06 uses a slightly updated table definition DB version 4.02

Super Speedy Search 4.06 in its changelog

Scalability Pro 5.11 22 June 2023

Fixed bug in reducing storage of action scheduler items
Added new Beta SPRO_CACHE_PMXE_META_KEYS option
to enable, add define(SPRO_CACHE_PMXE_META_KEYS, true); to your wp-config.php
when exports start with WP All Export, it counts the unique meta keys in your table
on large sites, this can be a pain

Scalability Pro 5.11 in its changelog

Super Speedy Search 4.05 22 June 2023

Fixed taxonomy ajax search
this unfortunately has to use SLOW ajax since it needs access to taxonomy definitions which mean Woo + a bunch of other stuff must be loaded
it may be possible yet to make a faster version of this however which only loads what's required, for now it uses the REST API
Fixed duplicate id for focusable element ssstext
Fixed hyphenated search strings
hyphenated searches will unfortunately be a little slower
fixed empty searches which were causing db errors

Super Speedy Search 4.05 in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 4.81 Beta 19 June 2023

Removed the permalink code for 'use SSF template' hierarchy – no longer required

Super Speedy Filters 4.81 Beta in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 4.80 Beta 19 June 2023

Merged Glyn's CSS edits

Super Speedy Filters 4.80 Beta in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 4.79 Beta 19 June 2023

Merged Glyns tooltip updates linking to fresh KB articles for the widgets and settings pages

Super Speedy Filters 4.79 Beta in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 4.78 Beta 19 June 2023

Changed default option for SSF_MAKE_FILTERS_BE_FILTERED_BY_SEARCH to true
means that searches will affect the filters now – you can switch this off if you wish for extra speed
Fixed bug in widget cache which was caching the search string incorrectly for the widgets
Changed defaults for all taxonomies other than product_cat to be max indexable 0 and max canonical 0
this means new stores will start by default with only product categories being indexable until/unless admins enable other taxonomies to be indexable
Fixed orderby JS so that if filters are selected and order by is chosen the filters still show as selected

Super Speedy Filters 4.78 Beta in its changelog

Super Speedy Search 4.04 19 June 2023

Fixed fast ajax so it discovers variation price ranges

Super Speedy Search 4.04 in its changelog

Super Speedy Search 4.03 19 June 2023

Fixed bug in edit-term action which was affecting those with non wp_ prefixes for the db name

Super Speedy Search 4.03 in its changelog

External Images 2.94 16 June 2023

Fixed warning about trying to get ID from int when WP thought it was a post object

External Images 2.94 in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 4.77 Beta 16 June 2023

Fixed warning about require_two_filters for people upgrading the existing filters widget (otherwise re-saving the widget would have fixed)

Super Speedy Filters 4.77 Beta in its changelog

External Images 2.93 15 June 2023

Fixed warning about missing option disable_variation_js
Fixed bug with detecting option disable_variation_js
this was always being considered disabled since 2.92 so it meant some themes were not showing variation images

External Images 2.93 in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 4.76 Beta 15 June 2023

Fixed bug with popover groups not respecting the group title

Super Speedy Filters 4.76 Beta in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 4.75 Beta 15 June 2023

URL Rewrite improvement for pretty permalinks
fixes issues with matching non-hierarchical multiselect items
new code provides 0.35s speed boost on localhost too from the simpler regex!
fixes 404 error for multiselect
Fixed issue with detecting multiselect items when a product category was active
this was related to some code related to permalink manager pro and the fact that that plugin leaves slug alterations behind in the database
this also fixes the show existing filters not listing all filters if you had used permalink manager pro previously (even if it wasn't active)

Super Speedy Filters 4.75 Beta in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 4.74 Beta 14 June 2023

Fixed bug with defines.php – I'd changed these to wrong defaults – this caused some issues related to stuff not being visible at archives
Improved table maintenance – a table rebuild is recommended from the advanced tab
found that variation edits were not being entered so anyone using the show-single-variations beta are affected
found that imported products were being entered into our tables prior to them having their terms
found that deletes and updates were not working as expected for similar reasons (running at the wrong action for WooCommerce)
there should be a slight speed boost for imports from this since previously the hooks to update our tables were running twice

Super Speedy Filters 4.74 Beta in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 4.73 Beta 13 June 2023

Fixed bug in Yoast detection at header

Super Speedy Filters 4.73 Beta in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 4.72 Beta 9 June 2023

Fixed rollup/show single variations beta option to be compatible with SSS show singles/rollup beta option

Super Speedy Filters 4.72 Beta in its changelog

Super Speedy Search 4.02 9 June 2023

Updated Woo Order search to fix Order Item search to use fulltext index
Added fix for variation rollup compatibility with SSF rollup/show single variations (beta feature)

Super Speedy Search 4.02 in its changelog

Scalability Pro 5.10 8 June 2023

Added action scheduler optimization option to the Imports tab
WooCommerce uses this heavily when updating products and when the _actions table gets heavily populated I've seen an extra 1 second per product for imports which is incredibly slow
Enabling this optimization option will cause the action scheduler to clear out completed items daily instead of every 30 days
Added a button to manually clear the action scheduler table
this safely deletes all actions with status of 'cancelled', 'completed' and 'failed'

Scalability Pro 5.10 in its changelog

External Images 2.92 6 June 2023

Removed option to disable external images for certain post types. Oddly, if any of these were enabled, it would cause the datafeedr import-bypass to fail. Some other issues too, presumably related to hook priorities. No harm in removing this so I just removed it to simplify the code.
Added new option to disable the External Images JS
with some themes with advanced JS for galleries, our JS was causing a conflict
this option was previously available in the defines.php file, so if you had added it to your wp-config.php then you should now visit settings and enable the option there
Cleaned up the code a little bit for easier reading

External Images 2.92 in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 4.71 Beta 6 June 2023

Added new option to Existing Filters to choose Clear All button goes to Category URL or to Shop URL. If no category selected, it will go to shop.

Super Speedy Filters 4.71 Beta in its changelog

Super Speedy Filters 4.70 Beta 6 June 2023

Fixed 'hide range boxes' to still show the APPLY button
Fixed click handler if range filter/price filter is inside a popover where changing the sliders would cause the popout/popover to hide
Fixed grouping with range filters/price filters and postmeta toggles where they were not being grouped properly if you chose display: popovergroup or popoutgroup
Fixed CSS for popover/popovergroup buttons in the 'above woo products' widget area so they correctly float left now rather than causing a newline
Upgraded the Remove Woo Baggage option in the Settings > Advanced tab to prevent WooCommerce filling the Action Scheduler tables with Product Lookup commands.
Fixed bug with Existing Filters widget appearing if a category had been selected, even if 'dont show current cat as filter' was configured – now the widget hides properly
Added option to Existing Filters widget to allow admins to decide to not show the Clear All button if only 1 filter is active
i.e. the Clear All button is redundant in that case since clicking that one remove filter link will remove all anyway

Super Speedy Filters 4.70 Beta in its changelog

Super Speedy Search 4.01 22 May 2023

Fixed exclude_terms option from widget
Standardised restful interface, full tested, added list view in new fast ajax
Added currency symbol, decimal symbol, thousands symbol & currency position to fast ajax technique
Added client-side performance measurement for debug mode – fast ajax on local is 20ms vs 380ms for normal REST API
Fixed bug in SSS_ROLLUP_VARIATIONS which was breaking search when used with SSF
Removed Ajax widget panel from JS
this may get added back in later, but it's stupidly slow to have this for search
SSS_FAST_VISIBILITY_CHECK default changed to TRUE
you can still override this if you wish and go back to checking against the join to term_taxonomies etc
the table maintenance is perfect now, so you should never need to
in addition, the new must-use fast ajax plugin runs prior to the 'product-visibility' taxonomy being registered in the code, so WP_Query returns 0 products if product-visibility taxonomy is checked
i.e. we cannot run fast ajax and do anything with WP_Query relating to taxonomies since they are not yet registered
Added new fallback code for variation images
if you enable individual variations to be SHOWN, if they have no image, they will use their parents image
Fixed a bug when updating variation info – the meta _variation_description was not being updated to our superspeedysearch table due to a different hook being used by Woo when saving these versus when importing
