In the meantime i realized that the zero search result shows up on the 404.php (http://www.my-site.com/undefined) page and not on a page what search.php generates… so, i guesse there is a problem with an url somewhen in my codes ?

I read also in the codex but for me it is ununderstandable, where should i paste these two codes exactly ? :

Preserving Search Page Results and Pagination

Search results and Pagination may stop working when applying customization to the search template. To avoid these issues the first thing any developer needs to do is add the following code to the start of their Search template to ensure that the original WordPress query is preserved. To customize the query append additional arguments to (array) $search_query. Execute the $search_query through a new $wp_query object, more information on the WP_Query object can be found at https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

<?php
global $query_string;

$query_args = explode("&", $query_string);
$search_query = array();

foreach($query_args as $key => $string) {
	$query_split = explode("=", $string);
	$search_query[$query_split[0]] = urldecode($query_split[1]);
} // foreach

$search = new WP_Query($search_query);
?>

Additional customization arguments can be found on the Codex at https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
Display Total Results

To access the total number of search results from a search, you should retrieve the total number of posts found using the wp_query object.

<?php
global $wp_query;
$total_results = $wp_query->found_posts;
?>

I am sorry, i was too fast, i found it by myself (i was just affraid to change php codes as i do not know a lot about it).

I changed it to (i deleted the if condition and changed the entry-content to entry-summary) :

<div class="entry-summary">
<?php the_content( __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'ilwebdesign' ) ); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link"><span>' . __( 'Pages:', 'ilwebdesign' ) . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-content -->

Wauh, i am getting confused, it is not your fault, it is the complexity of the thing i want and the complexity of the plugin ! 🙂

Thanks alot, i will re-read everything, re-think what i want and i will see 🙂

What i really want, Easy Digital Downloads WP plugin does, BUT :

EDD plugin does not generate encrypted Paypal buttons. I can do only two things :
1) my PayPal account accepts payments by non-encrypted buttons which is not possible because i use s2Member plugin in another website and it requires that my PP account accepts only payments with encrypted buttons.
2) get SSL certification but it is too complicated because my other website and this one are on the same server account, so they should be separated with dirrefent website IP and DNS, etc. etc…

So that is why i try to stay at s2Member, it is more save and it works fine on the other website… but it seems i am in an impossible situation 🙂
