Listdom Search Results Not Displaying

Answer

If you are using the Listdom plugin on WordPress and your search form is not displaying results when searching by location or category, but instead redirects you to the homepage, follow these steps to resolve the issue.

Step 1: Set the Search Results Page

1. Navigate to Listdom > Search and Filter Builder in your WordPress dashboard.
2. Select the search form you created.
3. In the Search Results section, choose the page where you want the search results to appear.
   • The default value is “Current Page”, which means the results will be displayed on the same page as the search form.
   • If you prefer, select another page where the results should be shown.

Step 2: Ensure a Skin Shortcode is Added

Regardless of the page you select for displaying results, you need to ensure that a Listdom skin shortcode is present on that page. Without a shortcode, the search results will not be displayed.

To add a skin shortcode:

1. Go to Listdom > Shortcodes.
2. Create a skin shortcode that fits your desired layout.
3. Add the generated shortcode to the page where the search results should appear.

Conclusion

By selecting a valid search results page and ensuring that a skin shortcode is placed on that page, your Listdom search form should function correctly. If the issue persists, verify that your Listdom settings are properly configured and that your theme or other plugins are not interfering with Listdom’s functionality.
