buddypress docs… Probably the culprit the entire time, except for buddyboss wall which the dev fixed. I noticed it is on your list of known problems so it can probably be removed and buddypress docs can be added for the time being. I’ll get in touch with the dev about it.
As of right now the searching seems to be working perfectly with docs inactive. Thanks for your help and for sticking with me. I should have gone through plugins earlier I suppose.
Still baffled as to how you guys weren’t observing the problem. Clicking search when not the admin pulled pages, posts and all kinds of things instead of what is defined.
In any case, it’s working!
Cheers, problem resolved and I can update you guys on buddypress docs when I get a response from the dev if you like?
