Thanks Franky.

I had it inside the php-tag and that didn’t work either, now looks like this and still doesn’t work – can’t see what I’m missing/done wrong.

$events = eme_wordpress_search_events();
get_header();

if ( have_posts() || !empty($events) ) {
?>

Hi Franky,

Just checked again and it turns out it’s a plugin conflict with the BuddyBoss platform which we use – thought I’d best let you know in case it comes up again. The search code you supplied works fine when that plugin isn’t activated.

I’ve logged a support call with BuddyBoss to investigate.

Thanks,
David.

Cheers Franky – just waiting to hear back from them. I’ll let you know.
