Support » Fixing WordPress » Custom Search not Showing Results

  • Hello,
    I’m having a bit of an issue displaying the results from my search page.

    So far I have created:

    1. searchform.php (contains the search form)

    <form action="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/') ); ?>" id="search-form" method="get">
    	<label for="s"></label>
    	<input type="text" class="field" name="s" id="s" value="search" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value='search'" onfocus"if(this.value=='search')this.value=''" />
    	<input type="hidden" value="submit" />
    </form>

    2. content-search.php (contains a copy of the themes index.php files, which is responsible for displaying all post types)

    3. search.php

    <?php get_header();?>
    
    <div id="preloader-container">
    	<div id="container">
    
    		<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?> 
    
    			<div class="additional-content">
    				<h5 class="page-title"><?php printf( __( 'Search Results for: %s', 'adaptive-framework' ), get_search_query() ); ?></h5>
    			</div>
    
    		<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?> 
    
    			<?php get_template_part('content', 'search'); ?>
    
    		<?php endwhile; ?>
    
    		<?php else : ?>
    
    			<article>
    				<h1><?php _e('No results were found matching your criteria. Please try something else.', 'adaptive-framework'); ?></h1>
    			</article>
    
    		<?php endif; ?>
    
    	</div>
    </div>
    <?php paginate_links(); ?>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    When I search for something nothing is displayed. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?
