V i l l a i n M o r a i r a , � � � 4 8 5 0 0 0 However, if I then select a property to view all is displayed correctly and there are no errors when viewing a listing in the admin section. Any help with this would be gratefully appreciated. * Thanks in advance Regards Stuart * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-listings/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-listings/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Thread Starter [stuartsheppard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stuartsheppard/) * (@stuartsheppard) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-index-problem/#post-5416101) * I have resolved the Undefined index problem but the issue remains with the displaying of initial search results having no spaces and strange characters in: V i l l a i n M o r a i r a , � � � 4 8 5 0 0 0 In all other section of the site the data is displayed normally such as single listings. Any help gratefully received.

Interestingly, if I search the property database using a taxonomy search page which is activated from a link the results come up formatted correctly this output only occurs using a search from the search widget. So not sure why this is happening. * Stuart * Thread Starter [stuartsheppard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stuartsheppard/) * (@stuartsheppard) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-index-problem/#post-5416168) * You can see the site here. [http://176.32.230.2/spanish-property-sales.ru/](http://176.32.230.2/spanish-property-sales.ru/) Try clicking an image in the page to get the taxonomy search results and then use the search widget for the incorrect formatting results. Any help gratefully received as this is the last thing before going live with this site. * Many thanks * Stuart * Plugin Author [agentevolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agentevolution/) * (@agentevolution) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-index-problem/#post-5416210) * It looks like a problem with a plugin or your theme. With the search results page, something is adding extra markup to the titles, like `` which could be causing those characters. Deactivate all other plugins or change to another theme to find out what is causing it. * Thread Starter [stuartsheppard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stuartsheppard/) * (@stuartsheppard) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-index-problem/#post-5416222) * Hi, * It looks like the problem is generated within the wordpress version 4.0. I have isolated everything and compared it to the functioning site I have which is still running wordpress 3.9 and this is the only difference. Any suggestions on where to look to resolve this issue going forward?

Try a different theme. Look in the menu bar of the search results page, you have the same character problems there too. It’s not an issue with the WP Listings plugin. * Thread Starter [stuartsheppard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stuartsheppard/) * (@stuartsheppard) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/undefined-index-problem/#post-5416226) * Hi there, The issue was to do with highlighting of found search terms.
