  • Hi,

    I’m having the same problem. I’m fairly certain it has something to do with the template, because the search works fine using other templates.

    Whether this is because something has changed in 2.8 about the search, which has caused some templates to break, or whether it is because I’ve done something to the template itself I’m not sure just yet.

    If I get to the bottom of it, I’ll let you know.

    Okay, sorry eazy187 I solved it on mine, but this may not help you because it was something I had done to the index.php file in the wp-content/themes/<mytheme> folder.

    Make sure that this file is correct and if you have a static homepage, WP uses home.php, which oddly it also seems to use for the search results.

    I had to add:

    <?php if (!is_search() ) { ?>
    … REST OF HOMEPAGE CONTENT …
    <?php }; ?>

    which fixed this.

    Try changing themes and see if this fixes it, to help you know if it is the theme or something with the WP code itself.

    thanks for the input thefraj. i will try to change themes and see which one works. you say I need to set a static page? I never use a static page ?? ill give it a try and hope this solves the problem.

    I am having the same trouble. I have plugin, WP-Cumulus installed, but when I click on a tag it loads a blank page. This also happens with other tag cloud plugins I have tried. Not sure what is going wrong or how to fix it??
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
