Tubepress youtube search is no longer showing up on my client's site. It was working for at least 2 years and I tried dumping the cache last week and now no more search field. So I went in and upgraded the plugin to the latest version, but that didn't fix the situation.

 

Here is the shortcode I am using: [tubepress output="searchInput"][tubepress output="searchResults" searchProvider="youtube" mode="user" userValue="smallfactorynj" searchResultsOnly="false" searchResultsRestrictedToUser="smallfactorynj"]

 

website: http://mysmallfactor...ry-kids/movies/

 

Any help is massively appreciated!

Hi DJ Zero,

 

As a test/verification, please disable all plugins and see if TubePress search functions as expected.  If so, slowly turn on one plugin at a time (testing TubePress after enabling each one) until it stops working.

 

Let us know the results.

Thanks!

Hi Brandon,

 

Thanks for the reply. No luck on the search function working. It is very weird that the search worked for so long and then it stop working after I tried to clear the cache. I have debugging enabled.

Hi djzero,

 

In looking at the source code of your website, I'm not seeing where the search bar is actually coded into the page.  Have you verified that it is still there?

 

Thanks!

Hi Brandon,

 

The search bar isn't in the source code, but I don't understand why it isn't there. Shouldn't this shortcode output a search bar?
[tubepress output="searchInput"][tubepress output="searchResults" searchProvider="youtube" mode="user" userValue="smallfactorynj" searchResultsOnly="false" searchResultsRestrictedToUser="smallfactorynj"]

DJ Zero,

 

Try the following:

<form accept-charset="utf-8">
<fieldset class="tubepress_search">
<input id="tubepress_search_777" name="tubepress_search_777" class="tubepress_text_input" type="text">
<button class="tubepress_button" title="Submit Search">Search</button>
</fieldset>
</form>
[tubepress output="searchOutput" searchProvider="youtube" mode="user" userValue="smallfactorynj" searchResultsOnly="false" searchResultsRestrictedToUser="smallfactorynj" searchResultsDomID="#resultsDiv" galleryID="777"]
<div id="resultsDiv">

Thanks!

Hi Brandon,

 

I do get the search bar when I add that code in. However, when I search, it doesn't pull in the search results, it only repopulates the page with the same videos. It is passing the search string in the url though. I pulled the code out of the page because I didn't want people to get confused when the search didn't work. I did have a pro account before, but we don't have pro right now. If I upgrade the license will the search work? Thanks for everything!

I think the solution here might be very simple: split the two shortcodes onto two lines. i.e. change

[tubepress output="searchInput"][tubepress output="searchResults" searchProvider="youtube" mode="user" userValue="smallfactorynj" searchResultsOnly="false" searchResultsRestrictedToUser="smallfactorynj"] 

to

[tubepress output="searchInput"]
[tubepress output="searchResults" searchProvider="youtube" mode="user" userValue="smallfactorynj" searchResultsOnly="false" searchResultsRestrictedToUser="smallfactorynj"] 

This won't affect your HTML at all, and TubePress doesn't really like it when multiple shortcodes are on a single line. I think this will solve the issue for you. Give it a try? Thanks!

Yes, this worked. I can't believe that is all that it was. Thanks Eric & Brandon!
