I even tried disabling all plugins just to be sure.

here is the error:

when searching for let’s see

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘s see%’ GROUP BY ID ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10′ at line 1]
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts LEFT JOIN wp_post2tag p2t on wp_posts.ID = p2t.post_id INNER JOIN wp_tags on p2t.tag_id = wp_tags.tag_id WHERE 1=1 AND (((post_title LIKE ‘%let\’s%’) OR (post_content LIKE ‘%let\’s%’)) AND ((post_title LIKE ‘%see%’) OR (post_content LIKE ‘%see%’)) OR (post_title LIKE ‘%let\’s see%’) OR (post_content LIKE ‘%let\’s see%’)) AND (post_type = ‘post’ AND (post_status = ‘publish’ OR post_status = ‘private’)) OR wp_tags.tag like ‘%let’s see%’ GROUP BY ID ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10

no search related plugins.

Is no one else having this problem but me? Everyone else’s pages search function in the admin cp works ok?

The custom pages I am referring to are the standard “pages” in wordpress as opposed to “posts”. I am sorry if I didn’t clarify that. I am trying to search “pages” but I am not getting any results. The results are for “posts” even though I am in the “pages” admin tab.

thanks

That did it, thanks. It’s a wonder my query wasn’t pulling drafts, but I guess that is because they don’t actually have a post date and I was only pulling posts that were dated in the last 5 days.

Thanks again for your help. It was pretty simple if I would have thought.

Wow, thanks for the quick responses. I didn’t follow that at first but now I understand. I just copied my archive to tag.php and edited it and that worked like a charm.

thank you very much!

hmmm. I don’t think that’s exactly what I am looking for. I don’t want to show excerpts for all the posts on the main page, just excerpts for all the posts when you click on a tag.

Like https://www.domain.com/index.php?tag=helpme

Does that make sense?

Richard, that is a very nice theme. I remember running across it and actually considering it. It’s a tad more of a classified look than I was looking for.

I started playing around with the foundations of making my own NYT theme. It’s far from polished but I have the basics down so far.

ah, so I’m not the only one huh? I guess that means I am going to have to try and create it myself.
