Hi,

Nice module!

Hi!

Thank you for your kind words!

By default the plugin does not override the default wordpress core results, but you can enable that option on the General Options -> Logics & Behavior panel. For more info check these chapters in the documentaion:

– Results page override
– Search box behavior

Some themes might not support results override, but it’s worth a try for sure.

Hi,

Thanks for your answer, i followed the instructions but i still get the same empty results, the live search works very well.

We work with visual composer.

You cannot access this content.

Hi,

It probably means that either the theme (or another plugin) has a separate override method for the results page, which cannot be replaced.

If you can fill the ticket with temporary FTP and back-end access, I might be able to check.

Hi,

Thanks for the details, I see what the problem is now.

So looking at the search.php file in your theme directory, there is the problem. The override works, the results are passed to the results page, instead of printing the results there is a code looking for a specific template page (page id = 1751). I’ve looked up that page and that has a shortcode, which is then executed and its content is then printed. However that shortcode uses it’s own method (executed long after the override) to get the results, it does not get the ones that are already overridden, and that is later printed to the results page by your custom code.

Hi Ernest,

Thank you for your quick support and explanation!

But is there a way to fix this issue?

Thanks!

What if i replace the search.php file with the default one?

[Ernest Marcinko]

It depends, if it has some kind of custom query by default, it might still override the results passed by ajax search pro. If you find statements like ‘query_posts(…)’ or ‘get_posts(…)’ within that file, then they will most likely negate the override, and are very bad practice – as the results are already queried.

Oke, what do you advice to contact the theme makers?

I think i fixed the issue.

changed a row in blog.php file

‘post_type’ => ‘post’,

‘post_type’ => (is_search() ? array(‘post’,’page’) : ‘post’),
