Hi David,
Thanks for the response. I got rid of the 1 result out of… thing but still no luck on getting the post’s content to appear. This is what I put in the template editor:

<div style="float:left;">
	<a href="#the_permalink#">#thumbnail#</a>
</div>
<?php the_content(); ?>

I fear the problem may be in the Taxonomies and PostMetas. I say that because I don’t know what either of those words are. I have simply selected Tags and article_details in that column. Should I be selecting something else?

I’m quite a novice wordpress developer but I have experience in HTML and CSS coding so I understand the mechanics of web development. Just not the mechanics of wordpress so please do bear with me. Thanks for your support.

It must be something extraordinary that is preventing me from doing this. Would you be open to taking a look at my site and seeing what’s wrong? I can provide you access to the testing environment so there would be no harm in doing so. This really is turning out to be a bit of a pain.

Thanks again for your continued support. It means a lot.

Thanks for the response TC.K

Tried your solutions and neither of them worked. Are you sure the first part should be put in footer.php and not functions.php? As for the second part, I changed the echo get_the_content(); to echo $post->post_content; and there’s still no progress. I didn’t want to add the filter and apply the filter because I don’t quite know where to put it as I’m still a beginner with php code. Any further help appreciated! This is really bothering me. Everything else about the plugin is absolutely fantastic.

For the second part of the question, I have tried the following code and still no luck. I have noticed that this works for other posts and I can see the results when I do the default search without selecting any of the options but when I select either of the options, it only provides me the link and still no content.

add_filter('uwpqsf_result_tempt', 'customize_output', '', 4);
function customize_output($results , $arg, $id, $getdata ){
	 // The Query
            $apiclass = new uwpqsfprocess();
             $query = new WP_Query( $arg );
		ob_start();	$result = '';
			// The Loop

		if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
			while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
				$query->the_post();global $post;
                                echo  '<li><a href="'.get_permalink().'" >'.get_the_title().'</a></li>';
                                echo get_the_content();
			}
                        echo  $apiclass->ajax_pagination($arg['paged'],$query->max_num_pages, 4, $id, $getdata);
		 } else {
					 echo  'no post found';
				}
				/* Restore original Post Data */
				wp_reset_postdata();

		$results = ob_get_clean();
			return $results;
}

Ok. Will look into both those options.
Thanks a lot for your prompt help.

Never mind. I looked at your solution for inserting the shortcode in a text widget. That was the problem.

It is, in a sense. I’m still worried I might have messed up something else somewhere in the process. Had to delete a few plugins and play around with the theme settings. I’d still like to know how to restore my site to an earlier point if issues like this occur in the future. Now it can be a more general question about restoring to a past version of the site rather than this specific issue.

Thanks.

I did. I kinda fixed the issue by deleting the logo that was appearing in the navigation bar. But I’d really like my logo to be there. Everytime I upload it however, it reverts back to being that humongous picture.

Ok. I now have access to all the hosting account details and a ftp. Should I go ahead and copy-paste the code you have provided into the editor? As you have warned, if something goes wrong I’ll lose access to wp-admin. Will the ftp details allow me to go into the root directory and reset these changes? I have never really done editing before so I don’t know what to do if something went wrong.

Edit: Can I not do the edits from the plugin editor? I understand I can access the plugin’s functions.php file? Can the code you provided be entered there to give me the desired results?

@ipstenu. It unfortunately didn’t. Disabled all of my plugins still no sign of the editor.

Terrific. Thanks for the prompt support yet again.

Is that the only way to do this? As I mentioned, I don’t really have access to all the hosting provider details as I’m not the owner or creator of the website. Just a contributor. And I’m implementing a plugin that requires me to play around with functions.php a bit. Is there any way to re-enable theme/plugins editor without accessing the root directory?

Thanks

Sweet. That’s perfect. Only one question: Do you know how to access the functions.php from the wp dashboard? I have always accessed it using FileZilla but I can’t in this case because I’m not the owner of the website. I’m running WordPress 4.2.2

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. I got the results to display exactly where I want it to per your suggestion. I’m still having trouble displaying the actual post. It’s still spitting out the link to the post rather than displaying the post itself. I referred to the link you posted but I can’t make sense of how I can use it to fix my issue. I assume its under the result setting and others but I haven’t touched that at all in my form. I don’t see how any of that applied.

Thanks again for your continued support.

To still stay on topic about your plugin, however, is there any way to pick and choose the posts that I want archived? I don’t want all the posts archived. Simply the old course catalog posts
