WooCommerce search not working when TSF is active

    When I activate The SEO Framework, search queries with “&post_type=product” in the URL are 301 redirected to the homepage. If I remove the post type from the url, to use the regular WordPress search, it works. If I disable TSF, WooCommerce search works again.

    I’m using WooCommerce 3.4.4 and TSF 3.0.6.

    Do you have any idea of what may be causing this problem?

    Thank you!

    I just solved it. I remembered that I had configured it to redirect the “store” page to the homepage, the products, cart, checkout were working fine so I thought it was ok. But today I noticed that search bug. I removed the redirect and the search worked again. I will use another way to redirect the store page to the homepage.

    Thanks for reporting this issue!

    I’m afraid there’s no way around it in TSF because when we put in an exclusion (like search), users are able to bypass the redirect. I consider that a security issue.

    I suggest using a .htaccess redirect, instead.

    Redirect 301 ^shop-page/$ https://example.com/
Redirect 301 ^shop-page$ https://example.com/

    This snippet should redirect pages starting with shop-page/ or shop-page, and not its sub-pages (thanks to $, saying it’s the end of the URL), to https://example.com/.

    I listed two rules because WordPress might force a trailing slash depending on your permalink settings.

    I hope this helps 🙂 Cheers!
