Hi,

Thank you for the details!

The issue was caused by a node duplication in the header – it looks like the menu script creates duplicates of some of the elements. That should never be done as duplicating nodes lead to duplicated IDs, invalid HTML and possible issues within anything that uses javascript. Unfortunately some theme/menu developers still do this, despite the fact that it is a very bad practice.

While the issue is not caused or relates to our plugin, I was able to find a possible solution, I have added the following code snippet to the functions.php file:

add_action('wp_footer', function () {
	?>
	<script>
		window.addEventListener("load", () => {
			const instances = ASP.instances.get(1);
			if ( typeof instances[1] !== 'undefined' ) {
				instances[1].destroy();
			}
		});
	</script>
	<?php
});

This will remove the duplicated search and will resolve the issue. Still, I strongly recommend investigating why elements are being duplicated to a separate node in the header, and if it’s possible then stop it alltogether to avoid any issues.

Update

I have made a quick patch to this and included in the core plugin. I have installed this patched version on your website, this fix will be included within the next update.

I have also removed the code as it is no longer neccessary, the plugin detects the duplications now.

Also made a small change in the theme header php file so the simple shortcode is now used correctly.
