Search bar crashed

[niggo]

Hey!!

I crashed the earch bar somehow – it simply doesn’t work anymore. I’m not sure what I did nor what I should do to fix it. Has somebody got an idea?

Hey niggo! Welcome back and nice to see you again. 🙂

That is definitely strange. Was the search functionality working before, then stopped working for you? Or has it never worked for you?

This sort of thing doesn’t come up much, but when it does it seems to be the work of a conflict with the theme or another installed plugin. Do you notice any difference when activating a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Fourteen)? How about when activating a default WordPress theme and deactivating all other plugins? Here’s a guide that helps with these troubleshooting steps.

Let’s start there and see what we find. 🙂

Cheers!

I switched the theme an deactivated all plugins: the search bar searches but the there are no dropdowns. Or don’t they exist anymore?

When I activate the plugins, it’s the same result…

Thanks,

Sorry: The date-dropdown works, the search-dropdown doesnt’t…

[Geoff]

Thanks so much for activating a default theme–this helps a ton!

It does look like the datepicker and search text input are working in this setup. The search input is text, so there is no dropdown. If you have Location enabled as a search option, then that does in fact dropdown auto-suggestions based on what is typed if there are multiple possible matches.

Is there another type of dropdown you’re looking for instead?

Geoff

[niggo]

Ah, OK. I thought that there has been a dropdown for the search input as well…

But what could be the problem with my theme now? Do you have any ideas?

Thanks,

Oh good, I’m glad that helps!

You know, my best guess is that there is a javascript conflict that is introduced when the theme is activated. It’s honestly a little tough for me to diagnose on my own, but I bet the theme author would be able to help pinpoint where it is. Are you able to reach out to the theme author?

Cheers!
Geoff

[niggo]

No, unfortenately not. It’s the freeware theme “Gridly” that I customized…

[Geoff]

Shoot, there’s probably something in the customization there that’s causing the conflict.

Does the issue go away if you install a default copy of the theme with no modifications? Or does the issue pop up by default there as well?

Hey niggo! This thread has been quiet for a while, so I’m going to go ahead and close it. Please feel free to start a new thread if you still have questions here and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
