It’s not a core bug but a problem that is specific to your site. 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 Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
Yes, I have tried all those methods you have mentioned above. If you read the previous forum posts or google around you will see there are lots of people having this problem.
This is what the action part of my search form looks like
action=”<?php echo site_url(‘/’); ?>”
which lead me to the 404.php page instead of search.php
Seriously wordpress.org should look into this matter before releasing version 3.3.4
Thanks.
Which part of “this is not a core bug but an issue specific to your site” was a problem? Can we see your site using an unedited copy of Twenty Eleven and all plugins deactivated please?
Never mind, I will seek the solution by myself. Thanks anyway.
The problem has now been fully resolved (after me wake up from a small sleep, the light bulb in my brain suddenly ‘bling’ ‘bling’ and there we go…). Now the search form will lead us to the correct file (which is search.php). If any of you having the same problem please let me know and me will provide you with the solution, have a nice day!
