    HI,
    I am using SEO WP theme with all the latest versions of wordpress, Table Press and the theme. However, the search function does not work in my theme unless I deactivate Tablepress. It will tell you there are no results found no matter what you search for. There seems to be a conflict. I tried adding
    add_filter( 'tablepress_wp_search_integration', '__return_false' ); to functions.php
    to see if it was the search in Tablepress causing the issue but that didn’t work either. Any suggestions?

    thanks

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Did you really add that

    add_filter( 'tablepress_wp_search_integration', '__return_false' );

    line to the theme’s “functions.php” (and not WordPress’s “functions.php”)? If so, TablePress does not integrate or affect the WordPress search at all, so that this must have a different reason.

    Regards,

    thanks,
    yes I added to the child themes functions.php. It didn’t actually turn off the search anyway but is there any reason the search for the theme would not work with your plug-in? I have never had issues with your plug-in like this before. I checked with the developer of the theme and they said it’s only an issue when TablePress is activated. Is there anything else I can do to help troubleshoot? Thanks for your quick response, I really appreciate it.

    Hi,

    that’s really strange then. When that line is added, TablePress does not care about the search at all…

    If possible, I’d like to take a direct look at this on your site. Could you therefore please create a temporary admin account for me and send me the details via email (the address is in the main plugin file “tablepress.php”)? That way, I can investigate this directly. Thanks!

    Hi Kristin,

    thanks for the email! I was able to log in and could reproduce the issue. It indeed looks like there’s a conflict with the TablePress search integration.

    To turn that off, I then checked your child theme’s “functions.php” and noticed that there were PHP comment tags (/** and */) around the mentioned add_filter() line. I removed those and saved, and from what I can see, the regular search works fine with that (it will however not search tables). Can you confirm that observation?

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi,

    no problem, you are very welcome! 🙂 Good to hear that this helped!

    Best wishes,

    P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
