    When an word used in the search area cannot be found it redirects to my homepage rather than saying not found etc.

    Shouldnt it be coming up with a result eg. 0 found etc and staying within the Geodirectory element of my website.

    Thankyou

    Please share WP Admin and FTP credentials so the developers can look into it.

    It looks like any search redirects to the home page.

    Hi Carl,

    you have “All 404 Redirect to Homepage” plugin that redirecting it to homepage.

    please use following code snippet.

    
    add_action('wp', 'gd_patch_p404_redirect', 1);
    function gd_patch_p404_redirect(){
    	remove_action( 'wp', 'p404_redirect' );
    
    	if ( is_404() && !is_search() && empty( $_REQUEST['geodir_search'] ) )
    	{
    
    		$options= P404REDIRECT_get_my_options();
    		$link=P404REDIRECT_get_current_URL();
    		if($link == $options['p404_redirect_to'])
    		{
    			echo "<b>All 404 Redirect to Homepage</b> has detected that the target URL is invalid, this will cause an infinite loop redirection, please go to the plugin settings and correct the traget link! ";
    			exit();
    		}
    
    		if($options['p404_status']=='1' & $options['p404_redirect_to']!=''){
    			$links = P404REDIRECT_read_option_value('links',0);
    			P404REDIRECT_save_option_value('links', $links + 1);
    			P404REDIRECT_add_redirected_link(P404REDIRECT_get_current_URL());
    			header ('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
    			header ("Location: " . $options['p404_redirect_to']);
    			exit();
    		}
    	}
    }

    Thanks
