After migrating our page to a new vps server we can no longer get search and filter pro to work. Only the firdt pge of posts are displayed. If older posts are pressed the site just hangs. Applying a filter doesn’t work either.
We tried updating to the newest version but this didn’t help either.
Please notice the new sever takes advantage of Nginx and KeyCDN. Hosting provider is wphostingspot.Trevor(Private) October 10, 2017 at 9:30 am #135664Migrations can go wrong in so many ways. Quite often the form gets broken, and then escalates to the cache. To making the form from new (do not duplicate it), carefully copying the settings manually from one to the other. Replace the form in the templates/pages/widgets. Make sure the form has a different name, BTW.
Then delete the old form, and then rebuild the cache. You WILL need to clear any caches and let your CDN re-cache the site. Caching search pages is a bad idea, so be careful how you set things up on your core site, and with the CDN.
PLEASE TAKE A BACKUP first.

Nginx and CDN in and of themselves do not cause this issue. They may not be setup so well, but I cannot see that in this case. The host is a good host.
Are you able to send me a live link/URL to your search page so I can take a look?

The search page should be the one that I have send a link to. On this page we have added the shortcode for the S&F I created for this. -
