Yesterday I pushed Better Search 4.2.1 which fixes some bugs and improves handling of the post_type parameter when passed as a query variable.

Upgrade it from within your WordPress Admin area.

I don't do this enough when I get reviews. I struggled to get Better Search to work with Mega Menu Pro.

I have to thank Tom and the Mega Menu Pro team for giving me the pro version to test and fix the conflict.

You can see it working live on @pixelrefresh.bsky.social
