Search not working… How to fix?

  • I’ve been customising the Twenty Twenty Three theme on a staging site and on doing some checks, I noticed the search is displaying all all the posts no matter what search word is put in.
    Try it here: https://karavadra.net/staging/newhome/

    Any suggestions on how to fix this would really be appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Hi @bharatk,

    There’s a couple of things I can think of to check which might help with that. The first is to check if you have any plugins active while you’re testing this? A good thing to try is to deactivate all plugins and see if the problem is still there.

    One other thing that might be impacting it is if you made customizations or edits to the Search template in the Site Editor. Is that something you’ve done?

    If you go to the Site Editor (Appearance > Editor) and then go to Templates > Search you’ll be able to select the Query Loop block which handles the search results.

    In the settings sidebar on the right – could you please check the ‘Inherit Query from template’ option and make sure it is turned on?

    @jordesign thank you for your advice. I didn’t think it was plugins because when I switched to another theme, the search results worked OK.

    I hadn’t made any changes to the search templates yet, but on checking ‘Inherit Query from template’, it was switched off by default and setting it to on worked.

    Thank you for your help. It’s really appreciated.

    Best regards,
    Bharat
