Hi guys,
I've been trying to find out the solution for this for a good few weeks now and can't seem to be able to work it out (or find anything on it).
The problem I am having is that my search feature on our site is not working, the preview post button doesn't work and the selecting different categories to view doesn't seem to work either.
I think the problem might have something to do with the URL settings.
I am using Arras theme and the website url in question is:
http://www.manaleak.com/mtguk/
I would truly truly appreciate any help, its driving me insane!
cheers.

You do have a fair amount of errors when validated, http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.manaleak.com%2Fmtguk%2F;No200=1 and the server is returning a 403 error when running a normal validation.
Have you tried:
- deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
- switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
i've just had a quick look at the source code for your site and it looks like your search bar is calling the homepage rather than the search script for your theme. you should be able to change this in your theme's header.php so that it reads action="link to your theme's search.php file"
look for this bit:
<div id="searchbar"><form method="get" class="searchform clearfix" action="http://www.manaleak.com/mtguk/">
other things to check are that you are using the most up to date versions of both wordpress and your theme.

Thank you so much for replying guys.
1. I've tried the usual "deactivate all plugins" approach however sadly can't seem to get it to work. Is there some internal/theme setting that I should look at? The theme I am using is Arras.
2. I've tried editing the Searchform.php and sadly this is not it.
3. I'm tempted to change the theme itself to Thesis, however I am concerned about potential issues. What normally happens when you swap themes over with a content filled site in this situation? ie. will I lose anything? what will I need to do? do I need to add and set up all the plugins again?
Thank you so much for the help in advance.
