Search inventory module – Nothing found and multiple car istances

  • Hi there,

    I installed the Car Demon plugin in a local as well as an online server, with the latest WP version (4.2.2). I also tried the latest “compatible” WP version for this plugin (4.1.5). Nothing extra than WordPress and Car Demon.
    In all cases i couldn’t make the search inventory module return proper results. The cars are displayed inside the cars-for-sale listing, as well as in their own individual page. The wordpress default search module returns the posts as it should do. The plugin’s search module is behaving oddly.

    I wonder if there is a setting I should check to make things work. I tried several combinations of the plugin’s settings but nothing changed regarding the search module’s results.

    When Content Replacement is ON, the search goes to domain.name/index.php?s=&post_type=cars_for_sale&car=1, but when it is OFF (Default radio button), the search goes to domain.name/?s=cars&car=1.
    In the Content replacement = On case, the search results page is the WordPress default one (msg “Nothing found”). On the other side, in the Content replacement = Off case, the plugin’s search template is being used (msg “Sorry, but nothing matched your search criteria. Please try using a broader search selection.”) and it also brings back many instances of the two cars i’ve added for testing.

    Here is the online site (it’s a temporary url, have not redirected the actual domain yet), for anyone to check out https://2913380741.thesite.link/cars-for-sale/.
    It’s WordPress 4.1.5 and Car Demon 1.4.1. It also uses the Default (no content replacement setting) styling.

    Any help would be gratefull!

  • Hey, I saw this earlier today “The vehicle search widget requires you to use a Stock # and may not behave properly if this field is hidden.” This is located in the Edit Vehicle Option Tabs area of the Car Demon settings.

    Don’t know what all that means, but might try playing around with that setting if you haven’t already.

    Thanks for the comment intrepid32043. I ‘ve already checked that one, the two cars have a stock id of 0001 and 0002. I hope there isn’t any standard (eg. 8 characters long or something) about the format of stock #!
