To rule out any plugin/theme conflict, try:
– deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
– switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Seventeen.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
Sorry @t-p.
This is the forum search that is the problem, like at the top of the page we are reading. When I come to the forums it is impossible to search through the different posts because the loader seems to get stuck.
But now that you mention it, I will test the search on my website too.
Again, sorry for any confusion.
Was there ever a resolution to this issue? I’m using Firefox Developer Edition 59.0b9, Safari 10.1.2, and Firefox 58.0.2 on OSX El Capitan (10.11.6) and cannot get the wordpress.org search function to work on any page. Just so it is clear, I am trying to search the wordpress.org forums and get nothing more than a “loading” message on a search page when looking for a word or phrase in the forums. I’ve been trying for days without success!
