[Support request] Weird character inside navigation

[An Nguyen]

Hi,

I saw a weird character in generatepress html mark-up (value=””). How can we fix it?

`<form method=”get” class=”search-form navigation-search” action=”https:/…”>
<input placeholder=”Search …” type=”search” class=”search-field” value=”” name=”s” title=”Search”>
<input type=”submit” class=”search-button” value=””>
</form>`

Thanks

Hi there,

Are you using any custom function to create that navigation search popup effect?

It shouldn’t be like that by default.

Hi Leo,

I used Tom’s php code as below only for using popup-search. Even though I turn this function off, this character is still there.

add_filter( 'generate_navigation_search_output', function() {
    printf(  
        '<form method="get" class="search-form navigation-search" action="%1$s">
            <input placeholder="Search ..." type="search" class="search-field" value="%2$s" name="s" title="%3$s" />
            <input type="submit" class="search-button" value="">
        </form>', 
        esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ), 
        esc_attr( get_search_query() ),   
        esc_attr_x( 'Search', 'label', 'generatepress' ) 
    ); 
} );

I can see the value symbol in the code above.

Can you try clearing any caching plugins or server cache?

There must be a custom function that’s adding it.

[An Nguyen]

I did clear caching.

[Leo]

Hmm can’t think of any other reason so we’d need to go through some debugging steps.

Can you first disable all your custom functions? If you are using a child, then you can try enabling the parent theme to test.

[An Nguyen]

I did deactivate all functions on snippet. I didn’t use a child.

Yea, that symbol should be something else – the forums convert the actual character to the square.

Try replacing the square with the value here: https://gist.github.com/generatepress/565683b10cca65050d7fb3a006efbc29

I did but it’s still the same.

Thanks Tom.
