I had seen that suggested as a fix to the breadcrumbs issue that we’d experienced before. I’m aware that the fix that I implemented for that is probably more of a workaround than anything else.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the FTP login/password combo to our site, and I’m not entirely sure who has that (if anyone), so that will require some legwork to hunt down. If there’s a workaround where I can avoid FTP’ing files to copy them, that would be preferable.

Here’s a screenshot of the gibberish.

Note that this is exactly what was happening with our forum breadcrumbs/landing page when I first joined this team, and we didn’t have our forums page (in our “Pages”) configured correctly.

What I’m guessing is happening here is that there’s some setting in the bbpress forums search widget that we need to re-configure, but I don’t know what setting that is.

Bumping this back up.

I hadn’t realized it before because I hadn’t tested it, but we’re still having the same problem as previously described with our forum search functionality. i.e. When a user searches a term in the bbpress forum, the results show a line of gibberish, not search results.

Is there a setting somewhere that I can tweak so that it shows our “forums” page search results?

Thanks,
Michelle

Thanks Rob! I was able to fix it via plugin.

I managed to fix it using the solution described in this post:

Change the default Forums page

It might be more of a workaround than anything else, but it’s transparent to our readers, so that works for me.

Thanks for following up and getting back to me!

Thanks Maya! I was having the same problem, and this fix/workaround worked for me as well.

Hi, I’m new to WordPress and a new member of a collective blog who is trying to troubleshoot the same issue described here. Being new to WP, I’ll need a little bit of handholding.

We’re using a Genesis/Lifestyle Pro theme for our site. This was all set up before I was asked to join the blog.

I’m trying to follow the instructions that Auriel followed, but I can’t figure out how to add an “archive”(.php) page to my template. I also can’t figure out how or where I should make a copy of my page.php file (which I can find) to start mucking around with that.

Thanks!
Michelle
