Search Results Blank

What has changed? Have you updated the theme, or added a plugin?

I’d ask you for the search results template, but that’s not helpful when you’re using Genesis.

I don’t know, very hard to say anything about this without taking a look under the hood.

Hi, just to let you know, I have the same problem, albeit in a completely different set up. I also tried going back to a previous version as well as disabling plugins. Will write you directly as well, just wanted to chime in to “_Entrepreneur”, you are not alone ??

Same problem here, realized today that the search results are empty. I am using Relevanssi version 3.4.2 and have not added plugins recently. My caching plugin is WP Rocket.

Here is a test-link to my site: Click here

If you need help for something like this, open a new support thread and show me your search results template.

I just sent a message via the support form on your website.

Mikko,
I just submitted a message through your site. I also included a paste of my search.php as well.

PS: I just saw in my site that V3.5 was released so you all may want to try upgrading to see if that resolves your issue. It didn’t make a difference for me.

I don’t do email support for non-paying customers. Lars is a paying customer.

_Entrepreneur, Genesis shouldn’t be a problem. Are you perhaps using custom field sorting? That’s something that can break the search, if there’s a meta_key parameter in the search. If that’s the problem, adding this to the theme functions.php should solve the problem:

add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'rlv_meta_fix', 99);
function rlv_meta_fix($q) {
	$q->set('orderby', 'relevancy');
	$q->set('meta_key', '');
	return $q;
}

iThemes Security and various cache plugins are not a problem.

Are you perhaps using Yoast’s Local SEO? If so, this might help:

add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'rlv_meta_fix', 99);
function rlv_meta_fix($q) {
	$q->set('meta_query', '');
	return $q;
}

Yes, I am using Yoast’s Local SEO plugin. I’ll try the suggested filter again and see if that makes a difference.

_Entrepreneur, do you use Yoasts Local SEO plugin? That was the problem for me, and the solution by Mikko for that conflict has worked on my site.

Adding the filter to my functions.php file did the trick!

add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'rlv_meta_fix', 99);
function rlv_meta_fix($q) {
	$q->set('meta_query', '');
	return $q;
}

Thanks so much Lars & Mikko for your help!

It was all Mikkos solution, I just mentioned that I use that plugin! ??

Actually, the fix would be better like this:

add_filter('relevanssi_modify_wp_query', 'rlv_meta_fix', 99);
function rlv_meta_fix($q) {
	$q->set('meta_query', '');
	return $q;
}

This way it’ll only apply to Relevanssi searches.

That worked perfectly! Thanks so much Mikko!
