I am designing a theme for a job aggregation website (currently I am using default one which is twenty fourteen).
I am facing a problem is that when I search from a category page with proper keywords I get the result. and from the search result page I again search using a term not in the data base it shows nothing found.
Till this everything properly happening. But if I search once more using a keyword which is not in the data base it shows nothing found and change the category to null. So if I search again with proper keyword the result shows from other categories.
Here is the link to the website
http://alltopjobs.net/country/india
And here is the search.php code
<?php
/**
* The template for displaying Search Results pages
*
* @package WordPress
* @subpackage Twenty_Fourteen
* @since Twenty Fourteen 1.0
*/
get_header(); ?>
<?php
if ($_GET['cat'] != '') {
$posts = query_posts($query_string . '&post_type=post'); // return only posts
} else {
$posts = query_posts($query_string . '&post_type=page'); // return only posts
}
?>
<?php $category = get_the_category(); ?>
<form method="get" id="jobsearch" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>">
<input type="text" placeholder="Search any jobs here..." required value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="hidden" name="cat" value="<?php echo $category[0]->cat_ID; ?>" />
<button type="submit" id="jobsubmit" value="Search Jobs" />FIND JOBS</button>
</form>
<section id="primary" class="content-area">
<div id="content" class="site-content" role="main">
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<header class="page-header">
<h1 class="page-title"><?php printf( __( 'Search Results for: %s', 'twentyfourteen' ), get_search_query() ); ?></h1>
</header><!-- .page-header -->
<?php
// Start the Loop.
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
/*
* Include the post format-specific template for the content. If you want to
* use this in a child theme, then include a file called called content-___.php
* (where ___ is the post format) and that will be used instead.
*/
get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
endwhile;
// Previous/next post navigation.
twentyfourteen_paging_nav();
else :
// If no content, include the "No posts found" template.
get_template_part( 'content', 'none' );
endif;
?>
</div><!-- #content -->
</section><!-- #primary -->No idea how to solve this issue.
Any solution for this problem highly appreciated.
Thank you
