Impacts search?

    Hello,

    I have been having issues with the internal page search feature on my page. Most often, the search results only show a summary of the pages from my site that correspond to the search word, but do not show the page title of those pages and posts.

    I contacted WordPress about this and they saw the error, looked into it and said a bug in the EditorPlus plugin seemed to be causing it.

    Any thoughts on this? I like the plugin and have used it on my pages but I do need the search feature working properly.

    Thanks.

    Hi @jnikkila

    Could you provide more details on how I can replicate this on your site? I tried to search ‘about’ from your home page search box, and here’s the result:

    It seems to show the title here.

    Thanks

    Yes, that is one of the strange things. There are some words that work ok. But nearly any word associated with butterfly names, which is the primary use of the search function, does not.

    Try “Monarch,” “idalia,” “Dusted Skipper,” or “swallowtail”.

    Thanks for looking into it.

    I dug a little more based on the terms you mentioned. It seems you are hiding some ‘titles’ on some content, or I think, on pages? Thus, you end up with results that have pages with hidden titles, and for posts, the label shows up.

    Oh, interesting. I didn’t think that hiding the titles on the page would impact that. I hid the titles on pages because graphically it didn’t work for my layout. I wanted to be able to customize the header in more detail than the page title would allow for. Unless there is a fix/customization for that within your plugin, I guess I’ll just have to figure a way to work around that.

    thanks.

    Drop this CSS Global CSS box from EditorPlus.

    .search-results .entry-header {
    display: block !important;
}

    This would assure to show title on the search results page regardless they hide on the page itself.

    Let me know how this goes.
