As a long-time user of Perch (since v1) and Runway, I have to agree that it's very hard to recommend to my clients right now. Certain things have been promised repeatedly over the years, with no forward movement (I'm looking at you, Events add-on!) In addition, documentation has frequently been poor or infrequently updated.

I absolutely love Perch and really want it to succeed. Almost any pricing change would be acceptable if it were accompanied by better communication, more frequent updates, and more thorough documentation. I'd be very sad if Perch went away, but right now it sort of feels like it has.

Still haven't solved this problem. It appears that for some reason the search results page is not getting the postURL for the URL, but I haven't been able to figure out how to rectify it.

Well, I thought I'd resolved it, but that was premature. Tried the above and that didn't work.

My blog settings are:

With perch:showall, the URL of the blog post that displays in search results is missing the full address, which is present in the blog post itself. So, for a post with a URL of:

http://testserver.com/blog/2019-04-22-new-adoption

That same URL in the search results is:

//2019-04-22-new-adoption

Anyone?

I discovered that this:

Specifically the 'apps'=>'PerchBlog' was what was causing the problem. Changing it to 'result_source'=>'PerchBlog' fixed the problem.

Hello,

Revisiting this problem from a year ago. I have built a search page from the blog section of a site and the search is functioning except for one thing: the URL for for the found pages doesn't include the blog slug. For example, the result_url for the found page will be "//2019-04-22-new-adoption" rather than "/blog/2019-04-22-new-adoption".

The search results page uses this code:

Debug shows this:

I'm at a complete loss.
