Ajax Search Lite – Live Search & Filter

4.14.4

Fixed: the search block now uses the current Gutenberg block API (v3), resolving the WordPress 6.9 deprecation notice and rendering correctly inside the new iframe block editor

Fixed: optimized taxonomy filtering in search queries (EXISTS / NOT EXISTS instead of nested IN/NOT IN sub-queries) to prevent oversized queries being killed on some managed hosts

Fixed: a possible fatal error during plugin updates caused by a stale class reference held in memory

Fixed: prevented theme-bundled jscolor scripts from hijacking the admin colour pickers and resetting values after save

Fixed: the admin menu icon is now a crisp vector (SVG) instead of a blurry raster image

Changed: upgraded the back-end colour picker (spectrum) from v1.1.1 to v2.0.10, fixing a Safari white-swatch bug

4.14.3

Fix: Taxonomy term exclusions incorrectly excluded posts not assigned to the filtered category

Fix: Admin font (Inter) not loading due to misplaced @import; body font-family no longer overrides the WordPress admin globally

4.14.2

New: Compatibility, Maintenance, and Help & Support settings submenus redesigned with a modern interface

New: Statistics page now includes area charts

New: Bulk delete option for recent search entries in the Statistics submenu

Improvement: Compatibility and Performance settings merged into a single submenu

Fix: Results pages are no longer limited to 50 items

Fix: A fatal error which was related to excluding hidden search/catalog WooCommerce products fr
