I'm having a problem with my Wordpress site when using search. This is probably due to qTranslate plugin.
So I have permalink turned on and when I use search field, I get URL with ?s= query string like this:
www.mydomain.com/en/?s=test
The above URL works just fine but if I have many search results that show pagination buttons, links on those buttons cause 404 errors. Link for second page has the following URL:
www.mydomain.com/en/page/2/?s=test
This throws 404 error but if I manually modify the URL like this:
www.mydomain.com/en/search/test/page/2/
then the pagination works.
So I would like to force Wordpress to use /search/ permalink instead of /?s= query string but not sure how to do that.
you can do it by the following function, paste this into your theme functions.php
then the search url will be like search/test instead of ?s=test,this function is quit simple
