Search result page cant't work with Avada theme

Hi Rose

I use S&F pro plugin in Avada theme and use the portfolio type try to make the product filter.
You can see the categories & taxonomies works fine and display product count number normally.
http://jejetaxi.com/ymc/our-work/

I have tried the method in this page suggestion “http://www.designsandcode.com/wordpress-plugins/search-filter-pro/faqs/#h-bad-template”

In the S&F -[Display results] choose the [As an archive page] option, and make a copy of serach.php an rename it to search-filter.php and remove the code in line 71 “query_posts($query_string.’&posts_per_page=’.$smof_data[‘search_results_per_page’].’&paged=’.$page_num);”

In the [Advance] option page checked the [Force is_search to always be true?]

But when I use the three level filter try to find my product, the search result still show nothing(wrong).

I had try different methon a couple days and still can solve the problem.
Do I make something lose in the setting? or how should I do so I can get the right result?
Please help me.
Thanks

Hi again Ross,

I recently switched to Avada per your recommendation, and currently have the same exact issue as Diego.

After performing all of the steps outlined by Diego, I am in the same boat. No results are showing up. Error “Couldn’t find what you’re looking for”.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi both will have a look later on.

I’ve only tested this with the default search template, as per the instructions on the FAQs, however I’ll take a quick look this evening and see if I can get it working.

Can you confirm that you are trying to set it up with search.php?

Also, I may be using a slightly out of date version of Avada – can you both let me know which versions you are using?

Thanks

I can confirm that I am indeed using the standard search.php (duplicated and renamed to search-filter.php)

Also I am running Avada 3.7.1

Okkkkkk

So I downloaded the latest version of Avada and did a test with the Search template – all working! There may be another gotcha in those templates!

So the first thing I did was comment out line 71:

//query_posts($query_string.'&posts_per_page='.$smof_data['search_results_per_page'].'&paged='.$page_num);

I built a search form with a Search Field, and submit button – did a test, it worked great.

After I did a search again, with no search term entered (a blank search) – then I got no results, instead of the list of all results I was expecting from S&F…

What I realised was, Avada checks to see if there is a search term in the url (?s=search+term) before displaying the results.

So, if you are using S&F without a search field, or want to submit a blank search there is one more step to take.

Line 74 checks to see if there are posts AND a search term before displaying results, so:

<?php if ( have_posts() && strlen( trim(get_search_query()) ) != 0 ) : ?>

Should be changed to:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

I hope that it!!

Thanks

You are so great! YA~YA~ Thanks!
Finally I can show the website product filter result to the company PM.
I’m really happy now.Ha.
Thanks again.

Another question, how should I can display the search result layout look like the Avada search result?

The S&F serach result:

The Avada search result:

Should I make the search result redirecting or use another php program?
Thanks again

Diego
