Hi, I’ve a little problem with the free version.
I can’t show you the page involved because it’s an intranet wordpress installation.
I made a simple download page with the search bar on top.
The page worked perfectly until I changed the position of the website.
When moved it on the new position and updated databases and other stuff, Elementor did’nt load anymore so I changed the permalink structure to “plain” to have elementor working again.
Now, when I use the wpdm’s search bar it show me a Post page instead the page I created for the results. If I delete any post and build a new page for the search result with the shortcode [wpdm_search_result] and link it to the search bar on the main page, when I try to search something it shows me a blank page and I cant see the file I’m looking for.
All of this worked perfectly before the update of the permalink structure.
Do you have any suggestion?
I Just tried With a fresh installation. The issue is the same. Maybe because of ann elementor updates?
Hello
There is another type of search function like the first one using the shortcode below

Thank You Sagar, tomorrow in the morning I’ll try this solution and let you know It It works.
In the meantime today I tryed to use another widget that includes a filter option and It has the same issue of the search bar.
OK, just tried, the issue is still here. The “search bar” give me a blank page with only the header.
Ok, I thing I figured out the issue.
WPDM works only with the permalink’s structure setted to %postname%
In my first installation, unfortunately, elementore doesn’t work with that type of permalink structure.
I tryed some new installation, either offline or online with permalinks setted on plain and WPDM doesn’t work.
Now I done a fresh install of wordpress offline with permalinks setted on %postname” and WPD works correctly.
I don’t know if this issue can be solved.
I mark this thread as “Resolved” if I can.
