Search by keywords

Hi,
can you paste a link to your website here so i could take a look at it?

Hi,

yes, here is the link : https://caribfind.enterprise-esolutions.com/classifieds/

Thank you

Please try adding the code below in your theme functions.php file, then go to page with [adverts_list] shortcode and try searching again.

add_filter("adverts_form_load", "change_query_param_name");
add_filter("adverts_list_query", "change_query_search");
function change_query_param_name( $form ) {
    if( $form["name"] != 'search' ) {
        return $form;
    }

    foreach( $form["field"] as $i => $field ) {
        if($form["field"][$i]["name"] == "query") {
            $form["field"][$i]["name"] = "advert-query";
        }
    }

    return $form;
}
function change_query_search( $args ) {
    if( adverts_request( "advert-query" ) ) {
        $args["s"] = adverts_request( "advert-query" );
    }

    return $args;
}

Hi,
Thanks for your reply!
I added it, but unfortunately the issue persists.

Hi, hmm in this case, the only solution I can propose is to disable plugins one by one and see if the error goes away, it won’t, try switching a theme for a while and see if this helps.

Basically this looks like some conflict with one of plugins (or theme) you are using, which overwrites each WP_Query with some custom param which break the search query.

I have this same issue with my site (otherwise works brilliantly) – I have narrowed down the plugin to Beaver Builder Header Footer – which sadly I need to get the headers and footers showing on the site.

Is there a work around to this as I know which plugin is causing the conflict?

Thank you.

Just a follow up —

I realised I have a different issue it’s not the search that is not returning a result – in fact that works fine, it’s the category search that does not return a result.
