Bug in WooCommerce Simple Auctions

Anonymous

#12597

Hello, I’m having a small problem with this plugin and WooCommerce Simple Auctions. I don’t want to start digging into the code until I go through the support system. If you visit https://www.thepiercestore.com/auctions/ and scroll down to the bottom of the page, for some reason it puts a blank search request there.

If I take the search bar off the header and place it in a widget or sidebar area, it still does the same thing. Any time the search bar is present with the auctions page this is what happens. At the bottom it shows an empty search result that links right back to the auctions page.

If I use a shortcode it solves this problem but creates a new problem with items and pagination. Is there anyway to fix this, what seems like a bug?

Hey Matthew

I can’t see the search form to find out whats going on – but it sounds like a template issue.

Search & Filter can only format results, depending on the templates your theme has.

Have you checked the settings under “display results” and ensured that a specific custom template is being loaded?

I won’t be able to help further unless you can also add the search form somewhere to the page (preferably sidebar).

Thanks

Yes, I’ll place the search form in the sidebar. The search form is at the top right of the page right now, and the same results show if it’s in the sidebar or anywhere else, or loaded at all on the auctions page, the plugin for auctions is woocommerce simple auctions, and I cannot replicate what is happening with any other plugin on any other page, for some reason it is as if the search form searched for the term “auction” and put the results below the footer of the auctions page.

That auction page is the base page selected in the auctions settings, I’ve found a workaround for this using shortcodes here : https://www.thepiercestore.com/all-auctions/ the same situation does not happen like this using shortcodes.

I could be wrong but I don’t think it is a template issue, if that were the case it would appear in other pages as well wouldent it?

Under display results, I have it set to use a shortcode so there is no custom template being loaded.

Hey Matthew could you supply login details so that I may look at the code of your templates?

Thanks
