This one sends all queries of to 404:

function fb_filter_query( $query, $error = true ) {

    if ( is_search() ) {
        $query->is_search = false;
        $query->query_vars[‘s’] = false;
        $query->query[‘s’] = false;

        if ( $error == true )
            $query->is_404 = true;
    }
}

add_action( ‘parse_query’, ‘fb_filter_query’ );
add_filter( ‘get_search_form’, function() { return null;} );

Hopefully. The Google Search Results link above suggests Buddy. 🙂

Okay, bricked the search by inserting code into bp-custom.php, give it a green light and all systems go for a topic at BuddyPress?

Weird, just got this back:

We understand the confusion, but you’ve contacted the Plugin Review Team. We are not a support team.

This team exists for developers to receive help with the hosting we provide for their plugins, as well as for the community to report security and guideline violations. We cannot provide general WordPress help.

If you need general WordPress help, you should post in the support forms: https://wordpress.org …/support/

Yet from the link I posted above there is:

If you find a plugin with a security issue, please do not post about it publicly anywhere. Even if there’s a report filed on one of the official security tracking sites, bringing more awareness to the security issue tends to increase people being hacked, and rarely speeds up the fixing.

To report a plugin, please email pl*****@wo*******.org with the following:

a clear and concise description of the issue
a link to the specific plugin
whether or not you have validated the security issue yourself
optional – links to any public disclosures on 3rd party sites

Hmmm, there is confusion.

[DeVaultSetter]

Fired this off just now:

Dear Team,
This enquiry is regarding site https://stearnvault.com, primarily an issue for the attention of @johnjamesjacoby regarding forum/site hits. Excerpts from private posts are displayed in the search hit results.
A straight-forward way to (temporarily at least) suppress all private excerpts is to insert code like

if ( $post->post_status == ‘private’ )
{Hide excerpt}

Also see https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/357957/228005

Obviously, the correct way requires detection of the status of current logged in user, which requires a function like “current_user_can”, all this is above my php coding skills. Can BuddyPress provide support for it?

Boom! 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Oh, sorry, think it is a fault with the router/modem, though he’s yet to get back on it.

Sounds good, and do love the name, tends to convey a certain vibe like this. 😛
What helps for concentration, methlyphenidates or nootropics, or something else? Fun fact, this thalamus provides an auto-in-built rejection of anything that messes with the mind in that way. 😛
Got an old ghetto blaster in the kitchen currently used as a radio. 🙂
A few going rather slow, not much new, things will free up a little more once the winter passes. Anything of interest crop up in VR motors lately?

[DeVaultSetter]

Do you see this on the ribbon at the top of this very page?

Stearn Vault                   Forums Family Tree Old Site

Compare that to the one in forums. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

It is, thanks, the borders work really well, too.
The links, just the same as they are here might be best, at least for the time being. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

No worries, the only hitch is, bbPress and the like do not have an internal messaging system, so no messaging other users that way. Googling @johnjamesjacoby doesn’t help either, although it gets his BuddyPress profile, the idea from this old enquiry about Google search results brings Buddy out on the table.
Apart from HackerOne there’s Slack, sounds fun, and it can even be integrated over here at StearnVault. It doesn’t sport an official WP support channel, mind you.
The other option, given that JJJ from BuddyPress is the excerpt expert, is to send an email to pl*****@wo*******.org and mark the issue to the attention of John. Sound like a plan?

There was an incredible hype and promotional activity at the time of the original Star Wars film release. This brought the movie into the “crowd pleaser” category, so fun for everyone really, however the urge to personally explore it further never did come to fruition. The vollies from some critics rang clear and loud:

Star Wars is a junkyard of cinematic gimcracks not unlike the Jawas’ heap of purloined, discarded, barely functioning droids

Scalzi doesn’t hold back much either:

Star Wars is not entertainment. Star Wars is George Lucas masturbating to a picture of Joseph Campbell and conning billions of people into watching the money shot.

Now with AI, deep fake, and Whatever, it’s possible to illustrate the vision of Scalzi in such a way that Star Wars becomes entertainment for an even wider demographic. 😛
Fabled Lands is now a game, very nice writing over at the Blog. Just noticed still logged into Blogger with the Google account after years, forgot that logging out of Blogger also logs out of Google.
The state experienced a windstorm a couple of nights back, so busy clearing up the branches. A couple of less healthy trees lost their crowns. 🙁

Thanks for the heads up. 🙂
If ever you find yourself in that above-mentioned predicament of free fall flurry, feel free to holler and theme while you plummet and corkscrew, knowing full well there will not only be rapturous applause, but it will be accompanied by the keen realization it will be generated somewhere else, and for someone else most likely more deserving!

[DeVaultSetter]

Certainly, a choice of options might be Dark and Ultra Dark. 🙂
From memory, very much in mind, before, during, and after installing WP on the site, not sure if it’ll be at all possible using updated default Twenty-twenty themes though.

[DeVaultSetter]

It’s very odd indeed, has someone over there forgotten about scaling altogether?
If you edit the groups page,
https://stearnvault.com/wp-admin/site-editor.php?postType=page&postId=124
Then click groups on the right, it prompts for a pattern. Not game enough to try it here, would doing that make a difference, (other than louse it up even further)? 😛
And, hurrah hurrah, a big grey monolith has re-appeared behind the avatars in the group members pages.

Thanks, the navigation bar in forums hasn’t updated over here yet.
Sure, over to A.T.N.O.. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

The SDK is certainly something of interest in developing, there is also a slightly more recent fork:
https://github.com/JacobKnox/pokemon-tcg-sdk-php/commit/2b83a21235b89488124a1cb3aea0e357c63d9896
Definitely, some of the Discord conversations provide a “street theatre” angle on the subject matter, which can be a minor impediment to effective research and analysis appertaining to all things N.O. 😛
Oh, and mighty list of mime types:
https://cpanel-501-melb.hostingww.com:2083/cpsess7880388703/frontend/jupiter/mime/mime.html
As for extras to be added to the top navigation bar, ideas please.
A shop with selected items of interest, Emporia, or at least a Blog with reviews of other shops. For example, a Biz-Aaarrgh shop could focus on prog. novelty gags with a swashbuckling vibe – Sail the seven C’s and incur a blue screen of depth. yo-ho-ho and ROTL your BITS, Polly wanna code-cracker, that sort of thing. Sailable? Or simply re-vaulting. 😛

Unusual to see Liam Neeson in a comedy, does RT rate on casting, and could any of them be convinced to revise their score after a second viewing?
Only Lovers Left Alive didn’t work over here. The dull dialogue, empty characters and tawdry backdrops was all B-grade, the movie purported to be more than it was. It was one of those movies from which after 10-15 minutes, there’s a strong temptation to switch off, the only reason for continuing is that it must get better, to compensate for the wasted time on viewing the introductory sequences.
Conversely, the critics liked it, could it be that some of them decided to change their minds on the second time round?
Edit: Never knew any of the “laughing gas” movies discussed here, the Carry On team did it best in Carry on Nurse:

Vincent Price is classic as Egghead in Batman:

Saw this recently on FTA:

Thanks. 🙂
Same as it is here, as long as there is room for expansion, you know, the Blogs, the Game Emporia, the Bazaar … hey that’s an idea, we could give it a fun name like Biz-Arrgh, a name surely to attract a certain type of clientele. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Looking good, thanks.
Yeah, think we touched on the width back here or thereabouts:
https://stearnvault.com/groups/administrators/forum/topic/styles/page/3/
Just a couple of minor nigs, the piano on the group page is squinched still, sorry, gave the wrong link in the email.
https://stearnvault.com/wp-admin/customize.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstearnvault.com%2Fgroups%2Fadministrators%2Fforum%2Ftopic%2Fall-things-site-and-organizational%2Fpage%2F6%2F
On the forums pages, the arrangement of the jumplinks in the top ribbon are different, no big deal though.

[DeVaultSetter]

Really sorry about this, didn’t notice that this had to go in the wp-config:

define( ‘WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE’, false );

Yeah, email it is.

[DeVaultSetter]

Looked in file manager, changes in many files like version.php, option.php, widgets.php and theme.php, and dozens more in folders like blocks, bnlock-supports and html-api all have been changed at the same time, 11.51 am. today, (Wednesday). Not sure if it is your time.
Is WP supposed to do this, or is it something else?
The update core icon at top is there for some reason, was it an automatic update to 6.6? Hmmm, thought we turned it off. 🙁

[DeVaultSetter]

Okay, transferred them all manually to current, the interface won’t allow an edit of the poster’s IP, so Patrick’s has been replaced by mine for now. It was 38.165.133.68 which seems to have moved on, in any case it’s there if we wish to add it to the DB later. 🙂
Interestingly, the new comment to Test Post is actually older than the post itself, the system hasn’t complained yet.
Moved the old pages and posts to trash for your perusal if desired. 🙂

20 inches, and half expecting it to be 20 feet, thus lasagna for an entire army!
Quite a few mods for Doom 2 at Nexus, earliest 2015, quite a few from this year interestingly.
