Search is showing hundreds of the same article

[shannenroberts]

Hi! When I click the search icon on my site it is showing hundreds of the same article or page instead of just one. How do I fix this?

I already tried deactivating my plugins to see if any of them were causing the error, but it doesn’t seem to be any of the plugins. Here is my site: http://thestrangeisbeautiful.com/

That image shows when I searched “yoga” it showed more than 360 of just that one article or page.

Hello @shannenroberts,

Thanks for writing in!

The Cornerstone Search feature was recently added to make Cornerstone V2 elements content available for WordPress search. But since then it currently has a problem outputting the search results, you can temporarily disable it by adding this code in the child theme’s functions.php.

add_filter('cornerstone_enable_search', '__return_false');

That line or temporary solutions, in general, should be removed when an official fix is included in one of our releases. You can check the official solutions in our Changelog: https://theme.co/changelog

Hope that helps and we’re sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi, so I hear “child’s theme” a lot but I actually don’t think I ever made a child’s theme? Is there a way to add that code without a child’s theme? Or how can I switch to a child’s theme?

Hi @shannenroberts,

You need a child theme to add that line of code, and you might really need a child theme down the road of your site development. You can download child themes here, download the X Child theme since you’re using X.

Then follow this guide provided here. Its actually pretty easy its like installing a regular theme.

Then access your child theme’s functions.php file via FTP and add the line of code provided above.

Thanks,
