Problem with search page navigation

Hi!

That’s just a weird result, now isn’t it? lol

Have you tried deactivating all your plugins to see if that resolves the issue? Try resaving your permalink settings just in case.

Hello!

I deactivated all plugins and resaved the permalinks, but the issue is still there. I suspect some theme-files are causing the issue, but I don’t quite know where to look.

Have a nice day!

Does your theme have a search.php file?
Can you post the content of that file here.

It does not. It has a “searchform.php” file with these contents:

<?php $search_terms = htmlspecialchars( $_GET["s"] ); ?>

<form role="form" action="<?php bloginfo('siteurl'); ?>/" id="searchform" method="get">
    <label for="s" class="sr-only">S?k</label>
    <div class="input-group">
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="s" name="s" placeholder="S?k"<?php if ( $search_terms !== '' ) { echo ' value="' . $search_terms . '"'; } ?> />
        <span class="input-group-btn">
            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></i></button>
        </span>
    </div> <!-- .input-group -->
</form>

It also has a loop-nav.php file that might be the culprit:

<?php

if ( !is_singular() ) {

    global $wp_query;
    $total = $wp_query->max_num_pages;

    if ( $total > 1 )  {
        echo '<nav class="pagination-centered">';

        $current_page = max(1, get_query_var('paged'));

        $mid_size = 7 - $current_page;
        if ($mid_size < 4) $mid_size = 4;

        $page_links = paginate_links(array(
            'base' => get_pagenum_link(1) . '%_%',
            'format' => 'page/%#%/',
            'current' => $current_page,
            'total' => $total,
            'mid_size' => $mid_size,
            'type' => 'array',
            'prev_text' => '?',
            'next_text' => 'Neste side ?'
            ));

        if (count($page_links) > 0) {
            echo '<ul class="pagination">';
            // echo '<li><span class="page-numbers pages">Side ' . $current_page . ' av ' . $total . '</span></li>';
            foreach ($page_links as $link) {
                echo '<li>' . $link . '</li>';
            }

        }
        echo '</nav>';
    }

}

?>

Thanks!

Try replacing this:

'base' => get_pagenum_link(1) . '%_%',

with this

'base' => preg_replace('/\?.*/', '/', get_pagenum_link(1)) . '%_%',

Thank you!

That works perfectly. I just wanted to add that I now get https://domain.com//page/2/?s=a in the search, with a double /. This does not matter for me as it works, but do you know if that is incompatible with some browsers? ??

Try it with this:

'base' => preg_replace('/\?.*/', '', get_pagenum_link(1)) . '%_%',

Perfect!

Thank you very much indeed!

You’re welcome ??
