Search redirects to different page

Could you post a link to the misbehaving form? Thanks.

yeah I linked it above https://worldoceansday.org/2013events/event-search/

When you say you have it forwarding to the 2013events page how are you doing that?

I think there’s a setting wrong somewhere because your search form (generated by EM) is posting to this URL:

https://worldoceansday.org//events/

Two things wrong here – there shouldn’t be the extra / character after .org and if the settings are correct it should be going to

https://worldoceansday.org/2013events/

Is your Events page set up correctly in Events > Settings > Pages > Events page? If you switch back to the standard Events page does the search work then?

hy,

I’m facing exactly the same problem like atlyss. I’m using shortcodes on a custom page instead of the standard events page (generated by EM):

[event_search_form]
[events_list_grouped mode=”daily” date_format=”d.m. – D” limit=”50″ pagination=”1″] … some formatting here … [/events_list_grouped]

Nevertheless I kept the standard events page activated while not using it (of course it’s not the same as my custom page). But when using the search form on my custom page, instead of results, my event list generated by [events_list_grouped] is displayed.

I tried to deactivate the standard events page: after deactivation, search is poiting to https://blabla.org//events/ – with extra / character.

Until now, I didn’t modify any core file of EM.

weird… any help is appreciated! Thx

hi,

I see what you mean; maybe you can try to modify template file at wp-content/plugins/events-manager/templates/templates/events-search.php

to use templates: https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/

Thanks for your answer agelonwl. I checked events-search.php and found a minor bug: in line 144 it is:

echo get_option('dbem_serach_form_submit','Search');

but I think it should be:

echo get_option('dbem_search_form_submit','Search');

After putting the corrected file in my templates-directory (theme-folder > plugins > events-manager > templates) unfortunately there is no effect. So this doesn’t seem to be linked to the problem of this thread.

I don’t have enough coding skills to get this problem solved by myself, so perhaps I will skip [event_search_form]-shortcode and use the standard-EM-events-page with built-in search instead.

Or does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

dbem_serach_form_submit is a typo but it is ‘correct’ as it’s used as a typo everywhere else too. wouldn’t fix your problem either.
