S&F does not work with my theme (LMS)

Hi there

The issue is likely your theme in this case, if switching theme enables or breaks functionality – then it the likely culprit is the theme.

S&F does not actually do anything with the search box, it simply adds a get param (s) – ie yoursite.com/?s=searchterm

WP as standard is able to search by appending this to almost any archive on your site.

If this does not work in your theme, then your theme is messing with WP standards – try adding the ?s=searchterm to your site on both the regular theme and the theme you are working with, does it work?

Hope that helps!

Hi! Thank you for your support.

I think understand the problem. The theme use two parameters: “?s=searchterm” and “search-type=(default or courses)”. And S&F use only standard “?s=searchterm”.

What do you think about it? If you agree with what I think, is it possible to add the second parameter in some way?

Thanks

I have the same problem, I used this code for this plugin to work

<?php
global $SearchAndFilter;
if (isset($SearchAndFilter) && method_exists($SearchAndFilter, ‘check_posts’)) {
$SearchAndFilter->check_posts();
}
?>

Thank you Deuns,

Just a question: where have I to use this code?

Thanks!
