Tell us what you are trying to do?
Use Toolset in Search - however using search on my site continues to show "no results" - I have already followed the toolset instructions and tried disabling my theme. Can you help?
Is there any documentation that you are following?
Toolset documentation
Is there a similar example that we can see?
What is the link to your site?
battstaging2.com
Hi, are you talking about the standard WordPress search like yoursite.com/?s=something or are you talking about a custom search View with a text input field?
- If it's the former, please tell me if you have created a WordPress Archive for search results?
- If it's the latter, can you show me screenshots of the custom search View in wp-admin?
- Can you tell me exactly what you're searching for?
- Can you tell me where that term should be found - post title, post content, custom field, etc?
Thank you Christin,
Yes, this is the default WP search. You can try by going to battstaging2.com, hitting the search icon, and searching for a term that is common, such as "computer," however it yields no results.
I have two custom post types: Adult Programs and also K-12 Programs. My understanding is that by turning these "on" in Relevanssi, WordPress search should not recognize my custom post types, however it is currently failing to do so.
Thanks!

You must also enable these two post types in your WordPress Archive for search. If you have already created this archive, check the Content Selection settings and confirm that the two custom post types are included here. If you have not yet created this WordPress Archive, you should create a WordPress Archive and set it to be used for search results. In the Content Selection area, make sure both the custom post types are included. If you already have these things set up and it's still not working as expected, I'll take a closer look.
Could you give me a bit more information on the steps here? I created a *new* archive, set it for "Search Results" but I don't see any section named "Content Selection" that would enable me to include my custom post types. Thanks!
There is usually a button under the Search Results Loop Selection. You can click that button to edit the different post types that will be displayed in the Search Results archive. See attached screenshots.
Got it,
I have followed these steps - the results are at least including pagination, however the actual results are empty. Can you help me troubleshoot it? I am happy to provide login credentials to our site - this has worked well in the past.
Thank you!

Can you copy + paste the contents of this archive's loop editor here for me to review? If a loop template is used, please copy + paste the contents of that template as well. I'll review those items and see if there's anything obviously wrong. If not, I'll ask for login credentials so I can take a closer look.
[wpv-layout-start]
[wpv-items-found]
<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
<wpv-loop wrap="1" pad="true">
[wpv-item index=1]
<div class="row ">
<div class="col-sm-12">[wpv-post-body view_template="loop-item-in-search-results"]</div>
</div>
[wpv-item index=other]
<div class="col-sm-12">[wpv-post-title]s</div>
[wpv-item index=pad]
<div class="col-sm-12"></div>
[wpv-item index=pad-last]
<div class="col-sm-12"></div>
</div>
</wpv-loop>
<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
[/wpv-items-found]
[wpv-no-items-found]
[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]
[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]
If you replace the contents of the Loop Editor with the following code, do you see post titles appear?
[wpv-layout-start]
[wpv-items-found]
<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
<wpv-loop>
[wpv-post-title] <br />
</wpv-loop>
<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
[/wpv-items-found]
[wpv-no-items-found]
[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]
[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]
That's strange - this actually works.
Okay so there could be something wrong in this template:
[wpv-post-body view_template="loop-item-in-search-results"]
Can you copy + paste the contents of that template here for me to review?
We only had one thing in there for now:
[wpv-post-title]
The template may have become corrupted somehow. Here's how I would try to fix this. Click "Loop Wizard" and recreate the loop using a simple structure like "Unformatted". Be sure you uncheck the Create a content template checkbox in the popup. This will recreate the loop without a Content Template. Then if you want to set up a complex loop structure, create the loop again using the Loop Wizard and you can try with a Content Template. If that still doesn't work, I'll have to take a closer look.
My issue is resolved now. Thank you! I Appreciate the help!
