Issue with Product Search Not Displaying Results in WoodMart Theme

I am experiencing an issue with the product search functionality in the WoodMart theme. When I search for a product (e.g., “iPhone”), the dropdown search results display the correct products. However, when I press the search icon (submit button), I am redirected to a search results page that does not display any products.

Here’s what I have tested so far:

The issue only occurs with the WoodMart theme; other themes display search results correctly.

The search URL generated is: https://mywebsite.com/?s=iphone&post_type=product but it returns no results.

If I remove &post_type=product from the URL, the search works and displays products.

I tried adding the following function to functions.php to force WooCommerce product search:
function fix_woodmart_product_search($query) {
if ($query->is_search() && !is_admin()) {
$query->set(‘post_type’, array(‘product’));
$query->set(‘wc_query’, ‘product_query’);
}
}
add_action(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘fix_woodmart_product_search’, 10);

However, this did not solve the issue.

AJAX search is disabled in WoodMart settings.

There are no conflicting plugins.

The permalink structure is set to “Post name” (/%postname%/).

Could you please provide guidance on how to fix this issue? It seems like the theme is blocking or modifying the search query for products.

Thank you!

Best regards,
VP

Ok, thanks

Hi vpetrovic6,

Thanks for details.

I see an error on your site due to insufficient memory on the server https://ibb.co/CKH9tV6h because he has a lot of widgets on the shop page.

This problem also exists with the default Product Attribute widget when there are a lot of them and you have a lot of products on the site. In this case, we recommend increasing the server memory or reducing the number of widgets on the shop page.

Please make a custom search page without widgets through Woodmart Layout, and in this case, everything will work. Further, you can read more about the Layout Builder here: https://xtemos.com/docs-topic/woodmart-woocommerce-layout-builder/
