Spinning wheel but no live search results

  • Hello,

    I installed the latest version of the live search box. But when I try to search for anything in the box, the spinning wheel appears without any actual live searches. The search works when one hits enter, but there are no live results. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!

    Jared, do you have Dave’s WordPress Live Search configured to get its styles from “Theme-specific (theme’s own CSS file)”? Because I looked your site and none of the CSS for DWLS is being loaded. It’s not your theme, because I test with Twenty Twelve myself — in fact I just tested against the latest WordPress 3.9 code. If you’re not using the theme-specific styling, it might be a conflict with another plugin.

    Also, could you try going to the Live Search settings page, clicking on the option for “appearance” settings, and just saving without making any changes? I can’t see why this would have happened, but I guess it’s possible that a setting got lost somehow and it’s preventing DWLS from loading styles.

    Hi, Dave:

    Thanks so much for the reply. Here’s what I did in response to your post:

    – The appearance settings were set to “Theme-specific (theme’s own CSS file).”
    – I went to “appearance” settings and saved without changing anything. The problem was not resolved.
    – I then changed the appearance to “Default Gray,” and it works fine now. Search results are displayed.

    Do you know how to fix the problem while still using the theme-specific CSS file?

    Thanks again!

    Jared, I’m a little confused. I don’t see any styles for Dave’s WordPress Live Search in your theme’s CSS. That’s what the option’s for, so you can put your own custom styles in the theme and not have the plugin try to do any styling on its own.

    unfortunately I’m having the same issue as jaredole. I’m using a child of twenty elven. Maybe I did something wrong bei copying the theme.
    The live search only displays a spinning wheel.

    Hi iGeorg,

    The problem seems to be that underscores.js isn’t getting loaded on your site. That’s really interesting, because the actual file is there at https://blog.kunstgriff.net/wp-includes/js/underscore.min.js

    Please try disabling some of your plugins and maybe changing to the TwentyTwelve theme temporarily to see if something is possibly dequeueing that script.

    – Dave
