Divi 5 Results Page Settings

EDIT: We were obviously typing at the same time and you were answering my question while I was typing more information, so you may have answered my question so I’ll check it out and come back if I still have the question on my issues I had just posted.
Thanks!

Hi Ernest – I’m not sure how much you can diagnose this without seeing the site but I had this all working splendidly.
I had everything dialed in just about and then the Divi glitch hit that blows up my page.

Basically, I was using the theme builder and every once in a while when I did a search and it went to the search page it would all of sudden throw huge gaps between every element, including the headers and footers and the search results just stopped working and output the raw post loop data. (So basically every single post from the loop as you would expect if you didn’t have the search results class attached to it.)

The only way I could get this to stop would be to unassign the template and the reassign it. (Even clearing site cache didn’t work). I finally just switched to a custom url search page in hopes that would help with the glitch.

But now, no matter what I try, my search results will not pass to that Divi Loop after that glitch happened. I can’t think of anything I changed in the ASP plugin from when it worked to when it stopped. I have my proper classes on the column and row just as I did before. It just stopped talking to Divi. (On both the theme builder and single page setup – same thing.)

I even set the results to be 1 result to test if there was some some search logic returning all of them and it still gives me the entire loop.

Do you have any ideas without seeing my setup? Is there some sort of reset? I even duplicated my search instance and changed all the ID numbers to match to see if that helped and I created a new instance with all the defaults except for the settings in your video that worked before and it didn’t work either – so it’s not something I can see I messed up in my settings, so I reverted back to my original.

Any ideas on what could be happening that would cause them not to talk all of a sudden?

Thanks for any help!

I just fixed it.
It was actually my search page url that was breaking the communication. I don’t know why it happened on the Divi Builder template, but since I’m not using it and my custom page is working now, I don’t care. Hopefully that crazy “broken layout” I described earlier doesn’t happen with the search page.

Now I have a problem that in my results, the link for my results header won’t go anywhere.
It is set correctly in Divi, so if I just load the page with no results (like /search without the /?asp stuff) the link works fine and goes to article. but if I load the actual results, you get the rollover icon in the browser, so it thinks it’s a link, it just does nothing. I tried messing with Z-index and that didn’t help.

Are there any settings or have you heard of this happening before? It is just an H1 title (like in your video tutorial), just for some reason when the dynamic ASP results load, the link won’t work even thought the browser knows it’s a link.

Thanks for any help!

Update/Edit:

Since Divi’s header module in the loop doesn’t actually output an <a> tag, it uses module javascript on the module itself, the link isn’t working. (I think – my theory)
I changed the Header to a Button instead and just got rid of all the button styling and set the same dynamic Loop Post Title and Loop Link and now that works.
I guess this is a workaround…
Any idea/way to get a Heading/Text module to work like in your example video though? Maybe I missed something.

Thanks, that update totally fixed the headings so I reverted.

When I updated though, all of a sudden my rows in the loop stopped flowing down. (Flexbox broke)
It was flowing nicely in three columns but now it just shoots off the page in one row of results, so it’s not wrapping.

It was working before, but I’ve been doing so much it’s possible I broke it…but I don’t remember changing anything, just updating. Now I’m using CSS to do it and that works, but would be nice to control via Divi. I attached my Row settings.

In the Divi editor it wraps in three nice columns but when ASP injects, it breaks.

Thanks for all your help so far, I’ve almost got it all setup!
