No results page

    Hi,

    I’ve been trying to figure out how to redirect no results onto:

    line 20 in wp-content\plugins\ldd-directory-lite\templates\search.php, between the else and endif, as shown below…

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

    <?php
    while (have_posts()) {
    the_post();
    ldl_get_template_part(‘listing’, ‘compact’);
    }
    ?>

    <?php else : ?>
    // tried to display some error message here, but not working…
    <?php endif; ?>

    It keeps going back and display the no results on my theme’s search.php. However, it’s working fine when there’s result i.e. the results showed up in the while loop in the above coding.

    Appreciate very much if you can help me with my limited knowledge on WP.

    Thanks & regards

  • Can you provide an URL where we can see this in action?

    Thanks for your quick response.

    Here’s the URL…

    https://mgjea.fidenet.sg/listings/all-members/

    Test scenarios…

    1) Search on the site (link at the top right-hand corner)
    – “flora” found
    – “gems” not found
    – both results and result page are correct

    2) Search on “MEMBERS” page (search bar below “OUR MEMBERS”)
    – “flora” not found
    – result is correct
    – result page is incorrect
    – “gems” found
    – both result and result page are correct

    Hope the above is clear and good for you to understand.

    I’m good if you can just point to me where I should look at: theme, wordpress or plugin. I will try to find out myself. As this my first time using WP, I’m not too sure where should I begin and the correct place to look at for this instance.

    Greatly appreciate your patience and time.

    By default when no search result is found, the plugin redirects to theme’s default search page.

    You can try changing the following code inside “ldd-directory-lite/includes/listings.php” on Line # 25

    Replace:
    if (LDDLITE_POST_TYPE == get_post_type()) {

    With:
    if (LDDLITE_POST_TYPE == get_post_type() or (isset($_GET["post_type"]) and $_GET["post_type"] == LDDLITE_POST_TYPE)) {

    After that the plugin will use “ldd-directory/templates/search.php” else condition.

    Awesome! Glad we could help. This will probably be implemented in our next update to the plugin. Thanks for using LDD Directory Lite.
