    Hey Henrik

    If you use the default WP search box, and submit a blank search, you get a URL like this:

    www.yoursite.com/?s=

    Depending on your theme & setup, this will load the blog page or your homepage, or a search results page.

    What happens if you go to:

    https://www.domain.com/?post_types=post,page&s=

    ?

    If this loads your search page then you can force the plugin to also add a “?s=” to the url just like WP does – check the changelog, the latest update added a new attribute:

    add_search_param

    so in your shortcode add add_search_param="1" and this should hopefully help you? ??

    What happens if you go to:https://www.domain.com/?post_types=post,page&s=

    It does load the blog page. ??

    I’ve switched theme to Twenty Twelve and Twenty Thirteen and here again it’s the blog page coming up.

    For me, on the 2013 and 2014 theme, if I goto:

    https://www.domain.com/?s=

    Then I get a search results page

    Is this not what happens for you?

    Do you have a link I could look at? ??

    Marking as resolved, let me know if it is not!
