    Hello! We are using the “Hivepress” directory plugin to build a directory of law firms. The website itself is built with Enfold.

    The problem:
    When using the built-in search functions or filtering functions on the Hivepress generated webpages, i.e. for searching Law firms by custom fields such as location, speciality, or category, the website redirects to a generic (Enfold) “Nothing found” result page, instead of using the Hivepress result page with listings. So each user search on the Hivepress directory for listings will result in an Enfold standard page that says “Nothing found – Would you like to try a new search?” Obviously because the standard WordPress search only searches for keywords in titles and texts, but has no clue about the Hivepress custom fields for listings.

    I do not know why this happens – when I debug the website by switching to a generic theme, such as “Twenty Twentyfive”, the Hivepress search works fine. Only when activating the Enfold theme it does not.

    So my question is: Does Enfold actively grab search requests and redirects them to its own result page? This would explain why Hivepress never kicks in with its own result page. And if this is true, is there any way to keep Enfold from doing that? Deactivate some code?

    If we don’t find a solution, we will have to re-create the whole website with another theme, just to become compatible with Hivepress. I would hate to do that, as it has taken us almost 2 months to build the site with Enfold.

    Any ideas highly appreciated! I can also upload screenshots or offer admin access to the dev website, if needed!
    Cheers, Sebastian
