Wont Show Pages – in search results

  • On my site pumpjunkies.com, I have relevanssi installed. I don’t know when this happened (maybe when I switched themes) but it will not return pages in the search results any more, just posts. I check the settings and pages is checked along with posts. We have exercises as “pages” and alot of them so we want these to show when a visitor searhces the site. For example, when you search for “squats”, only posts with that word will come up not the squats page. You can even type in classic pages like “about us” or “contact” and it will not return in the search results. Any ideas? Thanks – Charles

    Yes, your theme is probably restricting the search to just posts by $wp_query->query_vars[‘post_type’].

    Thank you for your response. Here is my Search.php code. Do you see something in here I can change? And if so to what? (Or should I look somewhere else? Thanks. 

    <?php get_header(); ?>
<div class="grid_12 blog-title">
	<h1> <?php _e('Search results for', 'unicorn'); ?> "<?php echo get_search_query(); ?>" </h1>
</div>
<?php $sidebar_position = get_option('reedwan_sidebar_position', 'true');?>
<?php if($sidebar_position=='left'):  ?>
<!-- Left Sidebar -->
<div class="grid_4 sidebar">
	<?php get_sidebar();?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php get_template_part('includes/blog-style-two');	?>

<?php if($sidebar_position=='right'):  ?>
<!-- Right Sidebar -->
<div class="grid_4 sidebar">
	<?php get_sidebar();?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Nothing particular in your search template, and looks like your search form is clean as well. It’s hard to say what’s wrong without taking a closer look. Could your theme settings constrict the search to just posts? If you force the search to just pages, it does find them. You can try it yourself: search for something, then add &post_types=page to the page URL.

    Also, I’ve noticed you’re quite impatient to get answers, but posting on my personal blog or emailing me repeatedly does not increase the time I have available – I have to prioritise and put my paying work first, then paying Relevanssi customers, then support for the users of free Relevanssi.

    Please forgive me for emailing so much. Thanks for the tips. It really is an awesome plugin. I left 5/5 and a really nice review at WordPress. Again, I’m sorry for my impatience.

    Sincerely,
    Charles
