Title: Seacrh Does Not Work Last modified: July 13, 2023 --- # Seacrh Does Not Work * [ssander0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ssander0/) * (@ssander0) * [2 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seacrh-does-not-work/) * I am in the process of replacing my Time.ly calendar with MyCandar. Everything seems to work EXCEPT the “Search Events” box at the top. No matter what I put in, all events continue to be displayed. * Ant ideas? * Thanks. * Steve Sander * Below is what I copied to the clipboard from your Get Help settings section: * ```wp-block-code ================ Installation Data ======================My Calendar:==Version: 3.4.15DB Version: 3.4.15URI: https://ucwc.org/my-calendar/CSS: twentytwentyone.cssRequester Email: stephen@sanderhome.comAdmin Email: office@ucwc.org ==WordPress:==Version: 6.2.2URL: https://ucwc.orgInstall: https://ucwc.orgLanguage: en-USCharset: UTF-8 ==Extra info:==PHP Version: 7.4.33DB Version: 5.7.26DB UTC Offset: -07:00DB Type: InnoDBServer Software: ApacheUser Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/114.0.1823.67 ==Theme:==Name: UUA CongregationURI: https://www.uua.org/communications/websites/wordpress-themeParent:Version: 1.3.3 ==Active Plugins:==All-in-One Event Calendar by Time.ly: 3.0.0; https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-event-calendar/Classic Editor: 1.6.3; https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/Classic Widgets: 0.3; https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-widgets/CPT Bootstrap Carousel: 1.12; http://www.tallphil.co.uk/bootstrap-carousel/Custom Sidebars: 3.36; https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-sidebars/List category posts: 0.88.1; https://github.com/picandocodigo/List-Category-PostsMetaSlider: 3.33.0; https://www.metaslider.comMy Calendar: 3.4.16; http://www.joedolson.com/my-calendar/Ninja Tables: 5.0.2; https://wpmanageninja.com/downloads/ninja-tables-pro-add-on/PDF Embedder: 4.6.4; http://wp-pdf.com/Really Simple SSL: 7.0.6; https://really-simple-ssl.comRestore Classic Widgets: 2.2;Shortcodes Ultimate: 5.13.1; https://getshortcodes.com/SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle: 1.50.1; https://siteorigin.com/widgets-bundle/Staffer: 2.1.0; https://wordpress.org/plugins/staffer/TablePress: 2.1.5; https://tablepress.org/Testimonials: 1.5.4; http://woothemes.com/UUA Services: 1.1.1; https://www.uua.org/communications/websites/wordpress-theme/documentation/technical/services-pluginVFB Pro: 3.4.6; http://vfbpro.com ``` * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fseacrh-does-not-work%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Plugin Author [Joe Dolson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joedolson/) * (@joedolson) * [2 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seacrh-does-not-work/#post-16894080) * The search itself seems to be working (See [https://ucwc.org/my-calendar/?mcs=violence](https://ucwc.org/my-calendar/?mcs=violence), for example), but the button is triggering some totally different URL; you’re ending up with ?source=widget in the URL. That suggests to me that some other plugin might be interfering. * I’d start by disabling the other calendar plugin, and if that doesn’t address the issue, try disabling other plugins to identify whether and which one is interfering. * [lobes06](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lobes06/) * (@lobes06) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seacrh-does-not-work/#post-16935975) * I’m getting this exact same issue. The “?source=widget” is being added to the URL when searching. I have no other calendar plugins installed. I did have “Classic Widgets” plugin, but the problem persists with it both installed and uninstalled. * I’m not sure what else to check. * Plugin Author [Joe Dolson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joedolson/) * (@joedolson) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seacrh-does-not-work/#post-16948621) * [@lobes06](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lobes06/) Do you have any plugins or theme in common with [@ssander0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ssander0/)? * [lobes06](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lobes06/) * (@lobes06) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seacrh-does-not-work/#post-16948726) * [@joedolson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joedolson/) I wish I knew, I have no way to contact him/her. The normal WordPress out-of-the-box search works fine, but not the MyCalendar search box. * Plugin Author [Joe Dolson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joedolson/) * (@joedolson) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seacrh-does-not-work/#post-16948747) * The original poster included that information in their post – if you can look at that information and compare, that would be helpful. * [lobes06](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lobes06/) * (@lobes06) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seacrh-does-not-work/#post-16948820) * Right you are. We have the following plugins in common: * Classic Editor Classic WidgetsMy CalendarTablePress * I’ve disabled them all (except for My Calendar obviously) and still get the problem searching the calendar. I am not using the same theme (I’m using Hello Elementor– Child) * Plugin Author [Joe Dolson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joedolson/) * (@joedolson) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seacrh-does-not-work/#post-16966348) * As of yet, I’ve been unable to reproduce this or identify a cause of it. I can see that [@ssander0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ssander0/) has disabled the search on their calendar, which was the only place where I could inspect it. So, for the time being, I want you to know that I’m not actively pursuing this issue. If I manage to reproduce it, I certainly will – but I have nothing to go on or work with right now. * [lobes06](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lobes06/) * (@lobes06) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seacrh-does-not-work/#post-16966385) * Thanks Joe, I sent you a personal note via your website. * Thread Starter [ssander0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ssander0/) * (@ssander0) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seacrh-does-not-work/#post-16966440) * Do you want me to re-enable the search? * Plugin Author [Joe Dolson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joedolson/) * (@joedolson) * [2 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seacrh-does-not-work/#post-16975547) * I’ve got a fix for this; I’ll be releasing it soon. * Thread Starter [ssander0](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ssander0/) * (@ssander0) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/seacrh-does-not-work/#post-17039506) * I just today noticed that searching the list of events also does not work either… but there is an error message: * **Notice**: Function wpdb::prepare was called **incorrectly**.
