Built-in search widget search results issue

  • I am trying to use the built in search widget (https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/search-widget/) feature in wordpress and am encountering an issue with the results displayed. The results display raw shortcode text instead of the html it is supposed to return. I apologize for the severe lack of information, if you would like to know anything else please let me know and I will do my best to provide it.

  • What you’re seeing is an unfiltered post. Usually the content of the post is passed through the_content filter and those shortcodes are replaced.

    Maybe it’s a caching issue (you could try to disable the cache). It could also be that your search result template is using an echo $post->post_content; instead of calling the_content().

    Check with the developers of your theme.
