    Hello,

    I am building a new site with the Geocraft theme located at wp.menucoups.com. I have tried the Geocraft "Search Listing" under the page header and I get a 404 page not found error every time. I am not using any plugins and the Search page is not trashed as I have read about in other threads. My permalinks are set to default. I am using Geocraft version 1.8.1. Can you please respond? I have posted another thread in the past and even posted it in the unanswered questions section after 48 hours over 2 weeks ago and never got a response. Let me know if you need more details such as my dashboard login info.

    Thanks

    Hello Gourav,

    This thread in stackoverflow.com that you pointed me to has absolutely no relevance to my issue. This thread talks about the 404 page not found issue happening when using the IE6 browser and trying to access .NET aspx files which have nothing to do with my issue. If you read my post, you'll see that I am getting a page not found error when I attempt to use the Geocraft "Search Listings" function in my website at wp.menucoups.com. I get this error in Firefox, IE8, etc. - the browser isn't the issue. The problem is with the Geocraft "Search Listing" function. The regular Wordpress search widget located in the footer area does work.

    Here's some more info on the issue that may be helpful. When I do a Geocraft Search on keyword "Lunch" and Location "01824", here is the URL that is generated:

    http://wp.menucoups.com/search/?sfrom=Lunch&location=01824

    This results in a 404 Page Not Found error. When I click on the Search navigation menu item (located right after Contact Us), an empty Search page with the following URL is displayed:

    http://wp.menucoups.com/?page_id=12

    When I manually enter the following URL into my browser address field, the search works correctly:

    http://wp.menucoups.com/?page_id=12/?sfrom=Lunch&location=01824

    There appears to be a problem with the Geocraft search URL format! I have my permalinks set to default, but the Geocraft search is using a different URL format that is causing a page not found error. This is the problem. Please tell me how to fix this problem.

    Let me know if you need additional information such as my dashboard login.

    Thanks,
    Steve at nexteon

    Hello Gourav,

    We have decided not to use the Geocraft Search Listing function because even if we could get it to work, it is too simple for our needs. We need a more advanced search that allows filtering by multiple categories and location, so I've been experimenting with a Wordpress advanced search plugin that supports multiple category search. I removed the Geocraft Search Listing function from view with the following CSS code added to custom.css:

    .main_search {
    display: none;
    }

    So, this support ticket can be closed.

    Thank you,
    Steve
