 * We’re having an odd problem with the search function. I don’t know if it’s an
   issue with the last update of WP or the plugin. When we run a search in the Posts
   section (from the admin dashboard), we’re redirected to the Events section.
 * How can we fix this?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hey Sadie,
 * Thanks for using The Events Calendar, I’m happy to help. In order to help, I 
   need a couple things from you:
 * -Please test for conflicts by following [this documentation](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/)&
   let me know what you find
    -Can you send me a link so I can see this firsthand?
 * Thanks!
    Shelby 🙂

 * Thank you!
 * I’ll check out the documentation.
 * The issue is happening in the dashboard though. I would need to give you admin
   access for you to see it. I can arrange that, if necessary.

 * Hey Sadie,
 * As a rule, we don’t access client’s sites on the back end, so screenshots would
   be good as a substitute. Have you tried the conflict testing?
 * Thanks,

 * Apologies for the delay. I’ve been swamped. I’ll check out the conflict testing
   after the holiday. Thanks for the quick reply!
