SearchWP not returning results since BetTheme upgrade

llassiter

Since upgrading to BeTheme version 10, SearchWP has stopped returning any results. When I switch my theme back to BeTheme v 9, search results show as expected. Do you have any idea what could be causing this problem?

Hello,
Please turn off all plugins, refresh your cache, and check if the issue still exists.

hi Phil, 

I also tried and it doesn't work with SearchWP.

Here is related ticket:
https://forum.muffingroup.com/betheme/discussion/35729/issue-on-the-search-page

I tried everything but couldn't make it work. It works if I active any other themes. I contacted the SearchWP support them they confirmed that the Betheme has some issue with it as it just doesnt work for it.

Even your above example doesnt work anymore:

Will you please fix it? OR let us know the solutions to fix it, thanks

But, we do not support the "SearchWP" plugin.

We did not test this script/plugin with the theme. Our policy states that we do not support third party plugins or custom code so unfortunately, we cannot be of any help to you.
Also, we cannot recommend any plugins other than the ones we support. You can find the list on this page, in the sidebar:

Well then BeTheme doesn't support any of the search plugins like SearchWP, Relevanssi etc because your developers have overwritten the search filter in the theme functions. That's a bad news because these are some of the most popular plugins and your developers couldn't find the way around to exclude the search from it and now we had to depend on wordpress default search.

I found the fix:

- Open /betheme/functions/theme-functions.php in code editor

- Search for line: add_action('pre_get_posts', 'mfn_search');

- Replace with this code:

if(!isset($_GET['s']))

{

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'mfn_search');

}

If you dont want to edit the parent theme then just copy theme-functions.php in the child theme and follow the same steps:

/betheme-child/functions/theme-functions.php

Hope this will be helpful for anyone else who is searching for the solution to fix it.
