Bug Report

Describe the issue: It seems filters are not applying now, or possibly just not being respected. It may have to do with capitalization- it seems posts containing filtered words are allowed through if the first letter is capitalized.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Add “trump, Trump” to the filter list.
  2. Browse All.

    Hi, thank you for the report. I’m going to add a setting in the next release to control if keyword filters should be case insensitive or not. Cheers!

    Currently it’s filtering with case-sensitivity. So if you have “Trump” and a post title has “trump” then it won’t be filtered. There certain situations where case sensitivity is helpful but I think generally, it’s better to have it not be case sensitive.

      The issue is that the case sensitivity is not working either. As I mentioned in the report, adding “trump, Trump” will not filter posts containing “Trump”.

        When I was testing before, I only had one keyword and I didn’t run into I think the problem you’re having. The filter list is comma seperated but if you have a space after the commas then the word does not get filtered. It does get added to the list of keywords, which is confusing.

        Also, if you add a word with a comma and a space before it, it’s saved as a comma and two spaces in the filter text field; when you go back into the page.

        EDIT: Maybe I should clarify things. So to fix any keywords not working, remove any spaces before the keyword. New keywords need to be comma separated but without a space. The list will save and show with spaces but that’s the current formatting.
