Search Results Formatting Fix

Anonymous

#29242

I am trying to get my search results to display properly with my masonry theme. I attempt to fix it on my own. I unchecked “Use a custom template for results?” but only my taxonomies displayed any results after that – anything under categories came back with “No results found”. So I put the check mark back, but now the formatting is still wonky. http://couponingincanada.ca/

Hey Marsha

Really you should always specify a custom template – otherwise you will not be able to specifically control what template is being used.

That being said, it sounds like the template that is being used has a better layout for the masonry code, than the one being used when you specify it by file name.

What I would think to do is

1) Identify the template file being loaded, when you don’t tick “use custom template”
2) Identify the differences between this template, and the template being used when you do tick “use custom template”

I think this is the best approach to figure out where something is going wrong.

The only other thing I would say is, the page title on your search results, seems to be inside the masonry container, so maybe that is throwing things off? Maybe just remove the text “Search Results for:”

Thanks

Scratch that, I just removed the text “Search Results for:” (and its container) via firebug, resized the page and masonry seemed to work perfect 🙂

Thanks
