Tell us what you are trying to do?

I had a working page with views and it just stopped working without changing anything. The only change i made was to have a search on the front page and redirect to the result page. I suppose that this is not a problem.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

See screenshot

What is the link to your site?

It is local installed

Hi, can you try the following troubleshooting steps?
- Check the browser console for any JavaScript errors that may appear when you submit the search form. Copy and paste those in your next reply.
- Test the View as a logged-in User and again as a Guest to see if the behavior changes.
- Temporarily deactivate all plugins except Types and Views, and activate a default theme like Twenty Seventeen.
- Clear your browser cache, then test again. If the problem is resolved, reactivate your theme and other plugins, one by one, until the problem returns.
- If the problem was not resolved, continue with the next two steps:
- Please take screenshots of the View editor screen so I can see your View configurations.
- Turn on server logs and check to see if any backend errors are thrown. If you're not familiar with logs I can show you how to activate them temporarily. Go in your wp-config.php file and look for

define('WP_DEBUG', false);

Change it to:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

Then add these lines, just before it says 'stop editing here':

ini_set('log_errors',TRUE);
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
ini_set('error_log', dirname(__FILE__) . '/error_log.txt');

Try to use this View again. If any backend errors are generated, this will create an error_log.txt file in your site's root directory. Please send me its contents. Once that is done, you can revert the changes you made to wp-config.php.

>No errors

Test the View as a logged-in User and again as a Guest to see if the behavior changes.

>Same results

Temporarily deactivate all plugins except Types and Views, and activate a default theme like Twenty Seventeen.

>Done same result

I made a copy of the view (when i finished it) I just test that one and that works fine. And has the exact same configuration. See attached images. On the not working view the spinner just continue spins even without a search.

But i wonder how it just stopped working so like to understand what happend. Also my previous "problem" was just changed without any changes made as far i know.

Thanks for your help let me know if you need more info to find the problem or what happend.

I don't see anything obviously wrong here. I would need to see this in a browser. Can you place this site online at a test URL? If not, can you send me a clone of the site? You can use the Duplicator plugin to create a clone, or you can backup your theme and plugins folders and create a database dump file. Then zip up those 3 items and post a download link in the private reply fields here. Let me know where to find this View on the front-end of the site.
