WordPress search bug

  • Def a bug.

    I’m in the admin dashboard, then view Posts. On the right hand side there’s a search box. Type anything in there and click search.

    You’ll get your results – super.

    Now try viewing all your posts again – nothing. You get the same results as your first search. The search terms, rules, filters will not update no matter what you try.

    The only way around this bug is to re-upload your WordPress install.

    Not exactly ideal.

    Any admins/mods with any ideas?

  • Hey Simon,

    I’ll just let you know that is not a bug with WordPress itself, but perhaps just an issue you’re having on your site.

    I’d be happy to help you if you could post a little bit more information and some screenshots etc. showing the problem that’s happening.

    Please let me know! Thanks

    Ooh super. I didn’t think wp.org would allow screenshots?..

    Doh! Silly me I’ll just pop in a link to the image.

    Strangely it didn’t happen the first time having just tried it after re-uploading a fresh copy of WP. Basically I’m on this screen

    All my posts are visible. But then type something in the search box like this:

    And the search results are correctly displayed. But this is the kicker. Try it again with a different search term. Maybe try to change the filter to a different post category – and the search results stay the same!
