I am trying to display a search result page with filter but the result don't work, the customs fields are hidden.

What's the problem ? thx

I get a 404 on the Login URL that you shared.

Can you send a link to the issue as well, so I can see it?
Eventually, a screenshot of where you expect to show Fields would help to immediately see what you miss on the output.

I can see that even if the fields exist and hold values against the French Products, the Search seems to not find those values and shows the Search handle empty.

This is unusual as it does not happen on a clean install, but there are several things that could have provoked this problem:
- switching default language in WPML
- a problem with WPML WooCommerce Multilingual, since that plugin is now outdated on your install
- another plugin or Theme interfering.

Does this not work properly since the begin, or did it start to break after an update or change of settings?

I think the fastest would be if I can deploy this locally and skin the site down to a minimal setup, which will use WooCommerce, the Multilingual add-ons and Toolset.

Would it be possible to send me that using these instructions?

On the current live site, you shared I would consider it safer not to make major changes - which we do not know the outcome of, yet.

I already tried to recreate the search on your site, this did not help.
It must be something deeper, which is possible to narrow down by skinning the site and analyse the query with a debug tool.

I am sorry, but this cannot be the copy of your site.

There are 30 outdated plugins, WordPress inclusive, and the front end is completely different than what we analysed here.

Please, can you provide me with a copy of the site where the problem is visible?

Please also make sure your plugins are updated first (I see that now WooCommerce Multilingual - which is involved here, is outdated)

Thank you

I still get an error on deploying the package using the native Duplicator Interface.

So I proceeded manually, however with wp-admin I get a 404 and with your custom login URL I get a The requested URL /your-custom-url was not found on this server.

So, I cannot duplicate this site.

Please provide me with an unaltered copy, where the native paths of WordPress are not hidden, or eventually, there are instructions to install the site that I miss.

[Beda]

No, that is the URL to your live site, and locally your Custom WP-Admin rewrite does not work.

The duplicator you shared, is this a copy of a site where WordPress has not been modified?
I suspect it is the same site.
I cannot use this to replicate it, as it fails.

Maybe you can point me to the customizations on WordPress you made so I can try to solve them so to replicate it.

[ThierryR232]

if you delete a security plugin (wp cerber) i think that's work.

OK, finally I managed to log in and deploy this site.
On the Front End (Log In) it seems some PHP Script is echoed instead of executed, I thought you want to know.
You see it on the WordPress Admin Log In Page:

'Widget Social', 'id' => 'new-widget-area', 'before_widget' => '
', 'after_widget' => '
', ) ); } add_action( 'widgets_init', 'social_widgets_init' );

Then there are several PHP errors on the front end if WP Debug is enabled:

( ! ) Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in .../wp-content/plugins/easy-social-icons/easy-social-icons.php on line 1455

The list goes on.

Please report the WPML errors to the WPML forum here:
https://wpml.org/forums/

Due to this errors, I disabled all Plugins but Toolset on the local duplication.

Then, I reactivated also the WPML Plugins.
The only remaining error now is:

( ! ) Deprecated: The each() function is deprecated. This message will be suppressed on further calls in .../wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/lib/dqml2tree.php on line 475

Not really a biggy, but if possible please report that to WPML.
I already updated the supporters there.

Now, please share with me the exact URL of the:
- page where I see the issue
- the Archive I need to edit
- The Layout that is showing all this

I need this details as it clearly seems that on the duplicator the things are very differnt to your live install.
Locally, none of the exyisting Layouts actually applies to any archive at all, and on the live site, the issue is in an archive as far I recall, but nowl the Login URL you shared is again a 404.

With this limited instructions on the issue, and no clear path to replicate it, it's not possible to solve this.

Can you submit the exact information as required?

Thank you.
