Search results do not appear on a specific page

Hallo, I would like to use the filter & search pro plugin with the colormag theme but the results do not appear using search.php nor archive.php. I guess the problem lies in the php-code of the theme since erverything works fine with the standard wordpress themes. Unfortunately I have no clue which parts of the code should be deleted or modified. Perhaps you can help me out with this issue. Here is the code of the archive.php

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying Archive page.
 *
 * @package ThemeGrill
 * @subpackage ColorMag
 * @since ColorMag 1.0
 */
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

	<?php do_action( 'colormag_before_body_content' ); ?>

<div class="main-content-section clearfix">
	<div id="primary">
		<div id="content" class="clearfix">

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

				<header class="page-header">
               <?php if ( is_category() ) {
                  do_action('colormag_category_title');
                  single_cat_title();
                  } else { ?>
					<h1 class="page-title">
               <span>
						<?php
							if ( is_tag() ) :
								single_tag_title();

							elseif ( is_author() ) :
								/* Queue the first post, that way we know
								 * what author we're dealing with (if that is the case).
								*/
								the_post();
								printf( __( 'Author: %s', 'colormag' ), '<span class="vcard">' . get_the_author() . '</span>' );
								/* Since we called the_post() above, we need to
								 * rewind the loop back to the beginning that way
								 * we can run the loop properly, in full.
								 */
								rewind_posts();

							elseif ( is_day() ) :
								printf( __( 'Day: %s', 'colormag' ), '<span>' . get_the_date() . '</span>' );

							elseif ( is_month() ) :
								printf( __( 'Month: %s', 'colormag' ), '<span>' . get_the_date( 'F Y' ) . '</span>' );

							elseif ( is_year() ) :
								printf( __( 'Year: %s', 'colormag' ), '<span>' . get_the_date( 'Y' ) . '</span>' );

							elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-aside' ) ) :
								_e( 'Asides', 'colormag' );

							elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-image' ) ) :
								_e( 'Images', 'colormag');

							elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-video' ) ) :
								_e( 'Videos', 'colormag' );

							elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-quote' ) ) :
								_e( 'Quotes', 'colormag' );

							elseif ( is_tax( 'post_format', 'post-format-link' ) ) :
								_e( 'Links', 'colormag' );

							elseif ( is_plugin_active( 'woocommerce/woocommerce.php' ) ) :
									woocommerce_page_title( false );

							else :
								_e( 'Archives', 'colormag' );

							endif;
						?>
					</span></h1>
                  <?php } ?>
					<?php
						// Show an optional term description.
						$term_description = term_description();
						if ( ! empty( $term_description ) ) :
							printf( '<div class="taxonomy-description">%s</div>', $term_description );
						endif;
					?>
				</header><!-- .page-header -->

            <div class="article-container">

   				<?php global $post_i; $post_i = 1; ?>

   				<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

   					<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'archive' ); ?>

   				<?php endwhile; ?>

            </div>

				<?php get_template_part( 'navigation', 'archive' ); ?>

			<?php else : ?>

				<?php get_template_part( 'no-results', 'archive' ); ?>

			<?php endif; ?>

		</div><!-- #content -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->

	<?php colormag_sidebar_select(); ?>
</div>

	<?php do_action( 'colormag_after_body_content' ); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Are you trying it with ‘As an Archive’?

That page code you show does not actually show the wp_query, but just contains the loop. To me, that suggests using the Shortcode method would at least tell if results can be found, then it is just a matter of styling and additional/different content fields.

Thank you very much for your quick response.

Yes, I was trying it as “an archive” and this way the results do not appear and I´ve forgot to mention that using the “shortcode” works fine within the colormag theme, I`ve already tried it.

So what is your suggestion? – To apply the “shortcode” method and then to adapt the search-form and result-output to the theme? Or what do you mean with “[…]then it is just a matter of styling and additional/different content fields.”?

My thought was, that if I use the the “as an archive” mehtod i can get the results in the same style like the archive.

If you are up for it (or have a code editor with a recursive search), you need to find the theme file with the wp_query in it. We might be able to address the problem that way. But using Shortcode removes that issue. I have usually found a way to help users clone the site appearance with the shortcode method.
