Hi there,

Very sorry. You are 100% CORRECT!!! This theme restricts the front-end search feature to posts only so that you don't get pages showing in your search results. Turns out this affects the dashboard search, which I was not aware of. Since the media are considered attachments and not posts, they don't get accessed.

Here's the fix...

1. Open functions.php.
2. On line 54 locate the following...
   

   //EXCLUDE PAGES FROM SEARCH
   function SearchFilter($query) {
   if ($query->is_search) {
   $query->set('post_type', 'post');
   }
   return $query;
   }
   add_filter('pre_get_posts','SearchFilter');

3. ...change it to the following (notice the new if statement at the beginning and the extra bracket at the end)...
   

   //EXCLUDE PAGES FROM SEARCH
   if (!is_admin()){
   function SearchFilter($query) {
   if ($query->is_search) {
   $query->set('post_type', 'post');
   }
   return $query;
   }
   add_filter('pre_get_posts','SearchFilter');
   }

4. Save and you're done.

Sorry again for assuming this wasn't a theme thing. I've never heard of this issue before and didn't think that stuff impacted the back-end.

Thanks!

Chris

There are a lot of examples where custom themes cause problems to WP functions. To say no way, it is not the theme is simply not good enough. Where obviously it is the theme.

I offer you to log in into the dashboard and see it for yourself, switch from one theme to other and test the media search. Because we are really frustrated here, it is a very important function.

Thanks

The Molitor, with all due respect, it is 100% to do with the theme.

Just checked again and double checked. Reverted to previous theme and the library search works, then switched to The Daily Press and the search returns no results.

How else can it be explained?

Hi there,

Are you talking about searching the media library in the WordPress dashboard? If so, as Justin mentioned that is not theme territory. At least not this theme. I'm not aware of a single piece of code in the theme that would have anything to do with that... at all... never... no way :-)

If you're referring to searching on the front-end of the site with the input field, that too is a WordPress feature and not a theme-specific function (i.e. I'm using standard WordPress code to generate that ability).

Hope that explains things a bit.

Thanks!

Chris

Thank you Justin.

But the search function works perfectly on my previous custom theme and on wordpress original themes I tried, but not on this one.

This has to be a theme issue.

By 3D I mean when hovering on the image inserted into the post, the image lifts up and shadow appears below, giving it 3d look. It works on featured images, but not on inserted post images. Was wondering how to achieve this effect in posts.

Thanks again.

Hey There, I'm going to set this to pending so that Chris can take a look. The searching mechanism is 100% Wordpress, and not the theme, but he may have some ideas.

Also, when you say 3D, I'm not sure which portion of the theme you're referring to?

Thanks,
Justin

Update: Got the excerpt part working. Was unaware I need to tick the box in screen options.

Hello,

first let me thank you for a great theme, it is exactly what I've been looking for. Sadly, I am experiencing few problems:

1. There is no excerpt field displayed, when adding a new post. I have watched your introduction video and there is no such option on my WP.

2. After installing this theme I cannot search my media library for images anymore. Every search returns no results with a message "No media attachments found".

I have tried disabling all plugins, still nothing. I have installed Hotfix, nothing changed. After I switched to previous theme the problem disappeared, so I am convinced it is a theme problem. I have found this topic on wp forums where people experience the same problem with other themes http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-search-in-media-library

I would appreciate all the help. We have thousands of media files and having a functional search option is very important to us.

One more question: I cannot insert the image to the post with that 3d look like on your demo site. Any suggestions?
