Searc-bar doesn’t work.

  • The search-bar on my website doesn’t work, it doesn’t load anything, it just re-loads homepage. Here is the code that I use:

    <form role="search" method="get" class="homePageBanner__content__form" action="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>">
                        <div class="form-group">
                        <div class="row">
                            <div class="col-3 col-md-2">
                                <select class="selectStyle">
                                <?php
                                $categories = get_categories();
                                foreach ($categories as $category) {
                                    $option = '<option value="' . $category->slug . '">';
                                    $option .= $category->cat_name;
                                    $option .= '</option>';
                                    echo $option;
                                }
                                ?>
                            </select>
                        </div>

                            <div class="col-5 col-md-7 px-0">
                            <input type="text" name="s" id="search" placeholder="Search" class="searchBoxStyle ps-4 border-start border-1">
                        </div>
                            <div class="col-4 col-md-3">
                            <input type="submit" value="Search" placeholder="Search For WallPapers" class="searchButtonStyle">
                            </div>
                        </div><!-- row -->
                        </div><!-- Form Group -->

    Can you be more specific on what is your domain, if we can see live version or where have you inserted this code?

    is there a search.php file in your theme? Observe your action form. The url of the action attribute is the home page. At the same time, the select has no name attribute.

    I found the problem, the loop was missing this:
    ‘s’ => get_search_query()
