Site is showing large "code blurb" when search changes

Hi there! First, thanks for the great plugin!

Unfortunately, I have an issue currently: when, on the live page, a search option is chosen and results in items found, I get a big “blurb” of code. To repro:

1) Go here: http://www.unitytoolbox.com/recommended-assets/
2) Click any of the “Game Styles” radio buttons
3) Click back to “All Styles” – blurb appears

Note: it doesn’t require “All Styles”, that is simply the easiest way to see the issue. Any search parameter that returns a result will give this…er…”blurb”. (better word for that? code vomit? 😛 )

The code shown seems directly related to my theme, “Divi”, though I’d hesitate to point blame there, since it’s never happened before. Seems the Search and Filter plugin is pulling that out and showing it, perhaps?

Thanks for your help!

Update: the issue was, I did not have any Excerpt defined.

Would be nice to have a “Show/Hide Excerpt” option in the “Display Results” area?

The output of results is dependent upon the Display method you choose. Most of them rely on the theme templates and as such we have no control over them. The only one that does not do this is the Shortcode method, and when using that you can edit a copy of the template that we provide to make your own content.

Is this thread effectively ready to be closed?

Hi- I actually was using the shortcode here. It seems the basic “results.php” is pulling more info than it should, and displaying it. I do understand that’s just meant to be a starter, so not sure if this would be considered a bug report or a feature request, but I do think it would be better for it to not do this. My “quick fix” was to include an if-then statement around the “excerpt” portion, so it would only show excerpt if available. This solved the issue for me…but might not work as well for others.

Anyway, yep, feel free to close this! 🙂
