Search Box taking me to another site

The Navigation Search Box on my staging site seems to be broken.

Whenever I type anything in it, it takes me to another site.

How can I solve this?

P.S. Please don't disclose my site in forums.

Hi there,

Any chance you can disable all plugins except GP Premium to eliminate conflicts from other plugins first?

Let me know :)

I've disabled all of the plugins except for GP Premium and the problem is still there:

Whenever I search in the navigation search box, it takes me to other site.

This cannot be a theme issue. The search you are using is a WordPress search as well.

Have you added any custom functions at all?

I only added custom CSS in customize options.

Would you like for me to create you an account on the site?

This isn't something the theme support can help unfortunately.

Do you get the same issue if you activate a twenty series WP theme to test?

I would recommend checking with your hosting support to see if there are some redirect set up.

Negative.

Whenever I activate Twenty Series theme and use search function, it works perfectly.

The theme itself really has no way of redirecting the search (it has no idea what that other URL is) - our support forum would be flooded with this issue if that's the case.

Can you disable all plugins in the staging site and let me have a look?

Please also activate a parent theme if you are using a child theme.

I just checked your site and didn't see the previous search bar so I added a search widget inside the header widget area and searched for "rifle" and it functions correctly without redirection.

Can you give it a shot?

I tried it and it doesn't work. Could you check again?

Not sure if I understand.

Looks like all the plugins are enabled again.

When I tested it last time, all the plugins were disabled and there was no search bar visible so I added a search widget in the header widget area.

I then typed Rifle as keyword to search and everything worked correctly.

Did you test that out?

I think I found the problem, Leo.

Whenever I deactivate all plugins and use search box, it works.

However, when I activate only 1 plugin (GP Premium) and use search box, it takes me to the other site.

Could it be possible that the other site is using same license key or something?
