General Filtering Not Working: Not by Search, Category, Tag, or Archive

    I should open by saying this is not a redirect problem. The permalink structure is intact. (I’ve read of similar problems with a redirect).

    When I click on a category, all results are returned. When I click on a tag, all results are returned. When I click on an archive by month, all results are returned. When I search, all results are returned.

    Search.php is invoked by the search. No problem there.

    The only JS I’ve used has been image replacement.

    Any plugins? Tried deactivating them all?

    I tried deactivating my plug-ins — Cumulous and The Attached Image — and I still have the problem.

    Do you have any other suggestions?

    Thanks esmi.

    Try switching to the default theme temporarily to see if the issue is theme-specific.

    It is theme-specific. The problem now becomes, where do I start troubleshooting? I copied the search function from Rockstar WordPress Designer… but I’m not sure if it’s a problem with the search function specifically because I have the same problem with tags, categories, and archives.

    I do have a search.php page based on the default theme, too. The results are displayed correctly, but the correct results aren’t returned.

    What information will help you pinpoint the problem?

    but the correct results aren’t returned

    What wrong with the results?

    Do you have tag.php, category.php and archive.php files in your theme?

    I placed those files in my theme, yes, but the default theme doesn’t use them.

    Is it a problem with conditional statements?

    I’m going to be looking at some third-party themes today to see if I can work this out.

    D’oh! I had a query in there overriding the filtered results. I notice my search function doesn’t return results when I search by a tag. Can this be changed?
