    Hi! I’m brand new to www.remarpro.com and someone recommended this plugin to me. Ive installed it and activated it, but now the search function doesn’t work at all on my site. I followed the instructions here https://www.relevanssi.com/knowledge-base/query_posts/ but I can’t see anything that says query_posts(). Can anyone help please?

    FYI – my theme is Oxygen

    <?php
    /**
    * The template for displaying Search Results pages.
    *
    * @package Oxygen
    * @since Oxygen 0.2.2
    */

    get_header(); ?>

    <section id=”primary” class=”site-content”>
    <div id=”content” role=”main”>

    <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

    <header class=”page-header”>
    <h1 class=”page-title”><?php printf( __( ‘Search Results for: %s’, ‘oxygen’ ), ‘<span>’ . get_search_query() . ‘</span>’ ); ?></h1>
    </header>

    <?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

    <?php get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘search’ ); ?>

    <?php endwhile; ?>

    <?php oxygen_content_nav( ‘nav-below’ ); ?>

    <?php else : ?>

    <?php get_template_part( ‘no-results’, ‘search’ ); ?>

    <?php endif; ?>

    </div><!– #content –>
    </section><!– #primary .site-content –>

    <?php get_sidebar( ‘primary’ ); ?>

    <?php get_sidebar( ‘secondary’ ); ?>

    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Nothing unusual in your search results template, so the problem is somewhere else.

    What do you mean the search doesn’t work at all? What other plugins are you using?

    Hi Mikko

    Thanks for the response. While the relevanssi widget was activated, any search I did on my site came up ‘no results found’, even when I searched for topics I’ve written about a lot. I’ve deactivated it now so that my users can still search, but can activate it again to show you what I mean.

    Relevanssi was the first plugin I installed after switching so while I was trying to get it to work, I was using no other plugin except the ones which came pre-installed like Jetpack. I’ve now installed a couple of extra ones like Smuch.it and some social media buttons.

    Will a full list help?

    It’s probably not a plugin conflict, then.

    If you modify search.php like this:

    <?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php global $wp_query; echo "<p>Relevanssi found $wp_query->post_count posts.</p>"; ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

    and run a search with Relevanssi enabled, what do you get?

    It still says ‘nothing found’ – I’m searching for topics that I’ve written about lots.

    Just double checking, I’m going to Appearance – Editor – Search.php and editing that file.

    I’ve left the app activated for the time being so that you can see the problem. My site is https://www.emilyluxton.co.uk

    Thanks

    Some searches returned results, for example “saigon” and “housesitting”. Though, “housesitting” only returned one result, and not all posts it should have.

    Have you tried rebuilding the index?

    Hi Mikko – how would I rebuild the index?

    I’m really new at this! Perhaps I should just revert back to the standard WordPress search.

    Thanks

    You rebuild the index by clicking the “Build index” button on the Relevanssi settings page – you’ve done that already once, right? (Because if you haven’t, that would explain a lot why Relevanssi is not working.)

    Oh my god, I’m so thick – I completely missed that in the installation instructions. Sorry for wasting your time!!

    Done it now and search is working fine!
