WP search is displaying sometimes!

[PreetParticipant]

Quite a lot of the time, logged-out pages show the WP search field instead of the ASP field, which has become quite a problem.

I have two ASP instances, which display conditionally on role and logged in status. The Woocommerce store has products that are protected by Woocommerce memberships, and this approach allows me to provide useful search in the context of what will be available to the user. So I have a product taxonomy for products that are hidden that is excluded from search too. The only visible difference in the instances is that the reduced set placeholder says: “Search here naturally” and the full set placeholder says “Search all our products naturally”.

The search field is in a Astra Pro Custom layout which inserts itself on all pages. Within that, Elementor formats the background and both instance shortcode widgets are loaded in the page, with the reduced set instance displayed by default, and hidden (by UAE Display Conditions) if the user has one of three roles. In that situation, the other instance is displayed.

We have Cloudflare Pro, and clearing caches seems to help. We also have redis object and page caching on server. But I’m struggling to understand what is stopping the ASP field from displaying in some pages sometimes, and why the native search is appearing. Can you help?

It’s a bit tricky to give access to the site as it is fill of customer data and we have GDPR.

Many thanks,

Hi,

Can you please check this option and make sure it is turned off: https://i.imgur.com/7Bau089.png
There might be a cache hit/miss for a specific browser agent and the plugin may display the default search bar instead of the shortcode. After turning that off and clearing the cache the issue should go away.

Hi Ernest,

Thank you! I do most of my logged out testing in Safari 14, and that is also our customers’ main browser.

Hopefully the problem will not come back.

Best wishes,
