Page search results displays post title but NO post

    Hi,

    My site is learn.tacomacc.edu. I just found today that a handful of my posts are not accessible when I search for them through my site’s search function. This was true already when I was using version 3.9.2. I updated today to v4.0, and it remains the same.

    So, when I search for any of these titles: “Edready” “Duolingo” “Simple English Wikipedia” “Desmos Calculator” and “Youtube:TCC”, it finds the post title BUT it does not show the exerpt under it AND when I click on the result title, no post shows, just the title. However, all my other 80+ posts show up in search results just fine with excerpts and click-able titles that brings up the full actual post.

    I have no idea why just a few are not displaying properly when I search for them. I was able to access the actual post just fine if I go to it through my A-Z index page or if I type in the url for it directly, like http://learn.tacomacc.edu/edready.

    Any ideas of what is going on and how to fix this anyone?? Please help! Thanks 🙂

    Try saving your peramlink settings again.

    Okay, on my dashboard I went to Settings > Permalinks > Save Changes. Still had same issue with those few posts when searched for. I tried saving the permalink settings a 2nd time, still no change. Did I do it correctly? Any other ideas? Thank you.

    Still need help…Please someone help me solve my issue! I have no idea where to start. Trying to figure out what is in common between those several posts that are misbehaving, and haven’t got a clue yet. They were all created at different times, some are older and some very newly edited. I have tried updating several of them, which hasn’t made a difference in the search result. Needing more ideas to investigate 🙂 Thank you

    Also, fyi: I use Relevanssi Search plug-in and have a Responsive-child Theme

    This may sound stupid but do you have duplicate post ids?

    Example:

    slug = new-article = post-id?=99
    slug = new-article = post-id?=100

    so when you search, for “new article” you get post-id 100 instead of post-id 99.

    Just a thought.

    Can you switch themes and do a search to see if it’s the theme that is causing the issue and not WP or the database.

    Good thought on the possibility of duplicate posts, but not the case :/ I will try switching themes and see what happens….

    Nope 🙁 I tried another theme. Same issue! And its just with a handful of posts, the same ones I listed above. Hmmmmmm…… Who else can I ask about this stuff?

    At least we have eliminated a few possible causes 🙂

    Try doing a database repair.. Not sure who else you can ask.. People on the forum have to want to or know how to fix the problem.. I work with wordpress daily, but Im more of a hands on person.

    here is a link about database repair for wordpress.

    I see, well I very much appreciate your willingness to troubleshoot with me gabrielcastillo! K, i am going to try to do the database repair and see what happens 🙂

    Well, I repaired the database using the define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true); line in my wpconfig.php file, going to the url and selecting “repair & optimize”. The results showed all tables as ‘okay’. I checked the site and it didn’t change anything. I found another way to repair the database through cPanel phpMyAdmin. So, I’ll try that tomorrow and get back with you. Any other possibilities come to mind?? I’m sure we’ll figure out this mystery eventually. I am wondering if it has something to do with the Relevanssi search plugin I use? Thanks!!

    I tried repairing the database through phpMyAdmin. It did not fix the problem :/
