• Hi David,

    I encountered a similar problem to the one that your only one-star reviewer left, where I could not get search results at all. The problem seems to be pretty simple, but I’m not sure of the best way to fix it.

    I am using the plugin on a single page where my downloads are displayed using EDD’s built-in [downloads] shortcode, meaning that the URL for this page looks like mydomain.com/mystore. The problem seems to be that when I submit my query, the plugin attempts to search that subdirectory for posts, and yields no results every time, since no posts are stored in that location.

    The URL the plugin generates looks like this: mydomain.com/mystore/?post_type=download&s=my+search+terms

    When pointed at the directory where posts are stored, it works properly: mydomain.com/?post_type=download&s=my+search+terms

    How can I resolve this? It seems like it would make more sense if the plugin pointed to the original WordPress install location by default, since that’s where it will find posts. Perhaps if you’re still updating this plugin, you could include this in the next update?

    Thanks!
