[Gelöst] How to modify view’s query on fly

I am trying to: build a cpt custom search.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: versteckter Link
If radio Blend is checked at Yes (Ναι, second choice) and you press the search button (ΑΝΑΖΗΤΗΣΗ), then mysql server goes to 100% and the query after a while times out.

I expected to see: something like when the search is made with radio Blend set at default No (Όχι, first choice)

Instead, I got: an empty page.

Please note that when the search is made with Blend set at Yes (Ναι, second choice), the query is constructed using wpv_filter_query filter (in functions.php), as per this ticket:

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - I need to understand here why there are too many query filter argument is added:

array(
                        'relation' => 'OR',
                        array(
                            'key'     => 'wpcf-variety-member1',
                            'value'   => $_GET['wpv-wpcf-variety'],
                            'type'    => 'CHAR',
                            'compare' => 'LIKE',
                        ),
                        array(
                            'key'     => 'wpcf-variety-member2',
                            'value'   => $_GET['wpv-wpcf-variety'],
                            'type'    => 'CHAR',
                            'compare' => 'LIKE',
                        ),
                        array(
                            'key'     => 'wpcf-variety-member3',
                            'value'   => $_GET['wpv-wpcf-variety'],
                            'type'    => 'CHAR',
                            'compare' => 'LIKE',
                        ),
                        array(
                            'key'     => 'wpcf-variety-member4',
                            'value'   => $_GET['wpv-wpcf-variety'],
                            'type'    => 'CHAR',
                            'compare' => 'LIKE',
                        ),
                        array(
                            'key'     => 'wpcf-variety-member5',
                            'value'   => $_GET['wpv-wpcf-variety'],
                            'type'    => 'CHAR',
                            'compare' => 'LIKE',
                        ),
                        array(
                            'key'     => 'wpcf-variety-member6',
                            'value'   => $_GET['wpv-wpcf-variety'],
                            'type'    => 'CHAR',
                            'compare' => 'LIKE',
                        ),
                        array(
                            'key'     => 'wpcf-variety-member7',
                            'value'   => $_GET['wpv-wpcf-variety'],
                            'type'    => 'CHAR',
                            'compare' => 'LIKE',
						),
                    )

Could you please check the server logs what is the cause behind the times out error.

I see there are a number of fields added but it needs to check further. What if you try to remove field arguments one by one and check what field argument is causing the issue?

Hi Minesh,

Thank you for responding.

The problem started as soon as I added the last filter:

                    array(
                        'key'     => 'wpcf-pungent',
                        'value'   => $_GET['wpv-wpcf-pungent_min'],
                        'type'    => 'NUMERIC',
                        'compare' => '>=',
                    ),
	            array(
                        'key'     => 'wpcf-pungent',
                        'value'   => $_GET['wpv-wpcf-pungent_max'],
                        'type'    => 'NUMERIC',
                        'compare' => '<=',
                    ),

Before that addition it was running fine, although Query Monitor plugin was reporting a slow query (as I found out later).

What if you try, as I think it needs "AND" clause condition:

array(
   'relation' => 'AND',
array(
        'key'     => 'wpcf-pungent',
        'value'   => $_GET['wpv-wpcf-pungent_min'],
        'type'    => 'NUMERIC',
        'compare' => '>=',
    ),
array(
        'key'     => 'wpcf-pungent',
        'value'   => $_GET['wpv-wpcf-pungent_max'],
        'type'    => 'NUMERIC',
        'compare' => '<=',
    ),
)

[Kostas]

I tried it, no difference.

Also please note, Apache logs show this (for my dev machine having an exact site copy):

[Mon Dec 17 12:00:15 2018] [error] [client ::1] FastCGI: comm with server "/Applications/MAMP/fcgi-bin/php7.2.8.fcgi" aborted: idle timeout (30 sec), referer: versteckter Link
[Mon Dec 17 12:00:15 2018] [error] [client ::1] Handler for fastcgi-script returned invalid result code 1, referer: versteckter Link

[Minesh]

Well - following query method should work - as it needs "AND" relation with all the greater than and less than query argument which you applied to the same field.:

Could you please try following

$query_args['meta_query'] = array(
                    'relation' => 'AND',
					array('relation' => 'AND',
							array(
								'key'     => 'wpcf-quantity',
								'value'   => $_GET['wpv-wpcf-quantity_min'],
								'type'    => 'NUMERIC',
								'compare' => '>=',
							),
							array(
								'key'     => 'wpcf-quantity',
								'value'   => $_GET['wpv-wpcf-quantity_max'],
								'type'    => 'NUMERIC',
								'compare' => '<=',
							),
					),
                    array(
                        'key'     => 'wpcf-oo-category',
                        'value'   => $_GET['wpv-wpcf-oo-category'],  //
                        'type'    => 'CHAR',
                        'compare' => 'LIKE',
                    ),
					array('relation' => 'AND',
						array(
							'key'     => 'wpcf-oleicacid',
							'value'   => $_GET['wpv-wpcf-oleicacid_min'],

					),

                    ),	
            );

Does above query makes any difference?

[Kostas]

I 'm afraid not, no difference.

[Minesh]

Sorry hear that there is no difference. I need access details to see whats causing the issue especially FTP access.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. If you agree to this, please use the form fields I have enabled below to provide temporary access details (wp-admin and FTP).

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

[Minesh]

Well - I know you shared admin access but that will not be helpful as I need to add/remove things from the functions.php file where you added the code. Please share FTP access details so I can work on it.

[Minesh]

Unfortunately, FTP access details you shared is not working at this end. Could you please send me working FTP/SFTP access details.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

[Minesh]

Still - the shared FTP access details not working. I also checked with my colleague for him as well the shared FTP access details not working.

Could you please send me working FTP/SFTP access details.
