"not found" & search bar on Homepage

Could you let me know how many published posts you have?

Is it more than four?

Could you try flushing your permalinks by going to Settings > Permalinks, and resaving your permalink structure without making any other changes?

p.s. congratulations on your upcoming marriage. ??

Hi Kathryn, thank you for your reply. I’m building my sister’s wedding website ??

I have published four posts. Does it need more than four?

I have flushed the permalinks however nothing have changed and I still have “Nothing Found Ready to publish your first post? Get started here.” text on the homepage.

Will greatly appreciate your suggestion ??

Thanks again.

PS – I’ve added another post but the text still appear…?

Hmm – I haven’t been able to replicate this problem on a fresh test site.

Could you post a screenshot of your front-page settings, under Settings > Reading.

Here’s a guide on how to make a screenshot:

You can upload the screenshot – in a graphic format like JPG, PNG, or PDF – in your Media Library, and provide a link so I can see it, or upload it with a service like Imgur or Snaggy.

Ah, well congrats to her, then. ??

Two more things:

– how many posts do you have set to display on the homepage? That number is also on Settings > Reading, next to “Blog pages show at most”

– you can temporarily hide the “no posts found” section with some custom CSS until we can find the source of the problem:

.no-results {
  display: none;
}

Hi there

Here is the page setting screen shot : https://www.ebersaki.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/setting-reading-ebersaki.jpg

It is set to display 6 posts on the homepage and thank you for providing me with the CSS. Where should I add that custom CSS to?

Thank you in advance,

Thanks for the screenshot! I was able to replicate your issue with 5 published posts, all set as featured, and 6 posts set to display on the blog page. I’ll let our developers know and we’ll keep you posted here.

Where should I add that custom CSS to?

Since you’re already using Jetpack, an easy way to add custom CSS is to activate the Custom CSS module. You’ll then add your custom CSS in the new stylesheet editor that’ll appear in your dashboard, under Appearance > Edit CSS.

Our developers investigated this and it looks like the “posts not found” message is the expected behaviour in this scenario, where all the published posts are featured posts, and the front page is set to display the latest posts. Because this is the case, the custom CSS I gave you is the best workaround – just let me know if you have any trouble adding it.

hello

It seems that custom css function is only applicable for Premium or business, neither i have.

If this is the standard behavior, will the text be removed once I set one post as non-featured?

Thank you and your team for investigating!

Those plans are only relevant to folks running their site on WordPress.com, but your site is self-hosted, not hosted on WordPress.com, right?

I explained how to add custom CSS to your self-hosted site, above:

It should go away once you add a non-featured post, yes.

Thank you so much for your patience with this enquiry.

Decided to add another post and made one none-featured so looking better now ??

thank you again

Looking good!
