    Thank you for highlighting the error – that was just some bad testing on that page. I have changed it to reflect the post archive and tried the simple search on modal and footer again and it had the same result.

    As a result, I have taken the search out of the footer and changed the menu item from the modal keyword search to simply directing to the /all-listings/ page.

    I think we now have something fully functioning. Happy to copy the live site to dev at any point for you to run your V3 on a ‘real world’ site, warts and all!

    Thanks again

    I did what you suggested above (using /all-listings/ rather than /listings/ and all the archive search forms decided to not work again.

    Seems the conflict is too great?

    This is why it was working on the dev site as I had the modal and footer searches turned off.

    My only alternative is to loose the modal search and point the menu straight to the /all/listings/ url and leave a search out of the footer. Not ideal but it appears the conflict is too great having more than one form on the same page?
    If you want to take a look, I am not working on it at the moment
    Thanks

    I started the All listings again 820369 and everything still OK with a new URL

    https://www.truckpages.co.uk/all-listings/

    I then activated the same ‘simple search’ and pointed it to the same url and template (changed from search.php to search-all.php in case this was a conflict) and the problem returns.

    I binned it and it was OK again, so I built a new simple search 829044 and it did the same thing.

    I need a single keyword search box to work from the menu using a modal and in the footer (was using the same one).

    Is there something else wrong?

    Am I able to have a generic search in the modal/footer as well as having one on the age itself? It seems this is the issue?

    820369 was a new one I set up yesterday to run some tests of my own – that can go
    The second one is a general search (one keyword field that needs to show a page with all the filters & content (I don’t have one of those – they al either filter trucks, vans, trailers etc.)

    That was what I was trying to put in place with the 820369 above….

    So I still think that I need a keyword search that presents a page with a filter on it for all taxaonomies. I am not precious about what the URL is as I haven’t had one before

    Thanks for looking at this

    This issue here looks similar to mine? https://support.searchandfilter.com/forums/topic/search-forms-arent-redirecting-when-placed-on-an-archive-page/

    Theirs are also called listings?

    Hi

    I have changed the setting to 2500

    Not sure I am making progress here. In trying to experiment in the dev site I have encountered different issues to those I experience on the live site.

    Perhaps I should try a new avenue?

    Two issues on live site:
    1. The search results will not be displayed on the archive page the form is on
    2. When redirecting it goes to /trucks-for-sale/ rather than a page I determine that does not have the taxonomy filters set in the results

    If I could either
    1. stop the redirect
    2. specify a page for the generic search to land on

    Then It would work OK

    Background to the above

    When the redirect happens on the live site and it goes to the /trucks-for-sale/ page, this is because this is the name of the ‘post type’ slug and therefore the default post archive page.

    I know this because I removed the redirect from ‘listings’ as the CPT slug on the dev site and the search form now redirects to /listings/ when it gets stuck.

    Thanks

    Jason
