Search results produce nothing!

Ross my friend, can you help me out?

I paid for your Pro product and I think getting support to get your product at least up and working is part of the deal.

Thanks! I appreciate any help you can sneak in.

Hey Charley of course 😉 You just caught me at the busy period up to the weekend and I don’t officially provide support over the weekend… I am however working on S&F today so I hope to get on to this later on and give you some pointers at least 🙂

Hey Charley had a quick look and you’re right seems not be working (obviously)…

The only thing I would check that:

1) you have the correct post types selected in your settings…
2) you are using a custom template to load results – this search results page is telling me that a custom template has not been loaded, which means either you did not set it up correctly, or the plugin had trouble finding the template filename you specified – please ensure “custom template” is checked, and that the template is called search.php, and that you have a search.php in the root of your themes folder.

If this still does not work, then it looks like your template might run its own query, which S&F cannot modify, have a look for things like query_posts in search.php and let me know?

Thanks

Hi Ross!

I got it working now…

Thanks for the help. I uninstalled the plugin and started from scratch. I do have a search.php in the root. If I don’t set a slug the search works.

Great plugin. Big props to you!

*I would love to learn how to use Ajax. Any tips where I can learn that so I can use your Ajax functionality?

Thanks.

Hey Charley

If you’re not in too much of a hurry I’m hoping to do an update this week which will completely change the way AJAX is done (and make it much easier!)

Too many users find this part complicated so I will try to make it simpler!

Let me know

Thanks
