[Resolved] Search results page is blank for some results

[eastwood501]

Hi,

I am thinking this might be a theme issue.

On the header search bar, If i type in certain terms the search results are showing up as blank.

For example on my site from the home page > header, if you search these terms you will get these results.

“food” shows results page
“tents” shows a blank page
“pluto” nothing found page

The issue i am facing is with the “tent” resulting in a blank page as my website has hundreds of terms and articles containing the word “tent”.
This blank page issue for the search results is happening on a lot of keywords as well.

Can you please advise how i can fix this within generate press? I am using Generatepress pro and generateblocks pro.
Ideally if there is no search results I would like it to show the ‘nothing found’ page. But to have just a blank page on actual results is confusing to me.
To add. I am not using any other header or woocommerce or random plugin. I use 12-14 plugins at most

Thanks in advance and kind regards.

Hi there,

that doesn’t look theme related, the empty pages being returned has literally nothing in the body.

I do see a Javascript warning and error in the Developers Console ( Right Click > Inspect the site ):

Warning: jquery.min.js?ver=3.6.0:2 jQuery.Deferred exception: UAGBForms is not defined ReferenceError: UAGBForms is not defined
Error: Uncaught ReferenceError: UAGBForms is not defined

Script errors particularly form related ones can cause issues especially with other forms ( like the search ).

Error looks related to a jQuery and maybe the UAGB scripts being deferred.
I would suggest disabling any script optimizations to see if you can remove the errors in the console – then retest the search.
