Thank you too

Go to Smart search configuration->index->Indexer Batch Size
This parameter is probably set to "50"

Thank you, Federica!

I have 468 books, but only 50 were indexed.
What could explain this limitation?

A new error: when I disable "written by" for the books, on the frontend book page I get
Warning: Undefined variable $description in /components/com_abook/views/book/tmpl/default.php on line 413 and no description is displayed.
When I enable it, There are no more errors, but the description is preceded by 'Written by Robert Gastaud' (the author of the description), which I don't want to display. How can I hide this text?

What?
I deleted books, author, category and publisher from the Abook management and tried to import my old datas. Error.
I checked the database, but the Abook tables were no longer there ! :(
I needed to uninstall the component, since reinstalling it only added #__ablend and no other tables.
I reinstalled the component and the tables were created successfully.

On the import page
Deprecated: AbookTableCategory::_getAssetParentId(): Implicitly marking parameter $table as nullable is deprecated, the explicit nullable type must be used instead in D:\wamp64\www\livres6\administrator\components\com_abook\tables\category.php on line 47
The sql was well imported.
Still the same error with the menu link showing the authors

New tests on local sites.

Same error for the click on a category in books categories listing.

2/ blank site
Joomla 6.1.2 PHP 8.4

Installation of my own french translation
I create a menu link to authors and another one for categories

Click on authors: same error 0There is no "chosen" asset of a "preset" type in the registry
I begin to add data in the backend

Creating the category OK
Adding a book OK.
Frontend:
List of category OK
Click on the category OK, the book is displayed, but 2 warnings
Warning: Undefined property: AbookViewCategory::$path in D:\wamp64\www\livres6\components\com_abook\views\category\view.html.php on line 184
Warning: foreach() argument must be of type array|object, null given in D:\wamp64\www\livres6\components\com_abook\views\category\view.html.php on line 184
On the book's display

Warning: Undefined property: AbookViewAuthor::$path in D:\wamp64\www\livres6\components\com_abook\views\author\tmpl\default.php on line 37
no error
Menu link to a category: no error

I'm going to run some more tests after importing my data from the J5 website.

A question: why "edited by" displays the author, not the publisher?

Now on a blank website 6.1.2 (french)
I installed AB 4.0.8 and the other packs 4.0.7
I didn't change any settings and I imported the SQL export from the J5 site.

The 'Authors' menu link leads to "There is no "chosen" asset of a "preset" type in the registry."
Indexing fails with the same error.
The footer information is correct
"Modified date: 8 Août 2026"

A link to an author works fine

From the books list and the book page, a click on an author name displays an error
count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, false given

In the all in one module, although I asked for the image not to be displayed, and only the title to appear, the default image is still shown.

In a book page or in the author list, when I click on the author name
ERROR 0 - count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, false given
file JROOT/components/com_abook/models/author.php:41

And at the bottom of the page, I have that text I didn't have on h=the J5 website:  COM_ABOOK_DATE_MODIFIED: 30 Novembre -0001
