Search field not working #47

Closed OaSiis closed 7 years ago

OaSiis commented 7 years ago

Hello,

I downloaded the caffeine-theme, installed it, added jQuery and other libraries. Everything works fine except that the search field and popular tag are not working! I get one error in the console: "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)" for the file /rss.

Can you help me please ?

HI @OaSiis,

The search field uses an older version of a library called ghostHunter to search within your blog. It performs searches against the RSS feed. If you are getting a 404 (Not Found) for the endpoint /rss of your blog. Can you confirm whether this endpoint returns an RSS feed (http://support.ghost.org/faq/find-rss-feed/)?

Hi @kelyvin ,

Thanks for your answer : myblog.com/rss returns a 404 page.

After looking around, it appears this is legit behavior because my blog is password protected.

Is there any way around it that you think of ?

Thanks

Since your blog is password protected, unfortunately I don't see any way around it given that this theme is currently using an older version of ghostHunter.

The latest version of ghostHunter uses ghost's beta API instead for querying, which may not be constrained by password protection. However, I do not have plans on upgrading ghostHunter until the API until it is out of BETA (you have to opt into this feature within your settings at this moment).
