Search Plugin box does not work

Could you try logging into your site with another browser or device, and see if the search box works there? I’m wondering if there might be a browser or network issue.

Also, did this start happening after you changed themes or installed a new plugin?

Hi Benjamin,

Thank you for your reply.

I tried in both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, both show the same issues. It was very first time I noticed when I wanted to upload plugins called Advanced Customs Field (ACF). Since, it was not searching so I manually found it and uploaded the plugins.

I have similar issues.. such as I created customs field called, Related Program(s), giving relation to another post called Events. But it is not relating to the Events post.

Btw, I am using local server called Local by Flywheel. Not sure if this causes the issues.

Thanks! That information helps.

Do you have a live site (something on a server, not in Local) that you can login and test? Are you able to search for plugins there? If you are, then the issue is most likely in Local, or the local WordPress installation within Local.

If searching for plugins in your live site works, then Local has a troubleshooting guide I suggest you walk through. Try walking through these steps: https://localwp.com/help-docs/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-local/

Hi Benjamin,

I got the issues resolved by correcting one file called university-post-types.php under folder….\wp-content\mu-plugins. This file was having comments …

// creating new post type called Event. This Event post will be listed in admin pannel.
<?php
function university_post_types() {

I moved the comments after <?php as follow..

<?php
// creating new post type called Event. This Event post will be listed in admin pannel.
function university_post_types() {

Now it is working well..

Thanks a lot.
