Relevanssi Search is broken in current version

Hi All!

This isn’t so much a question, but more of an answer. I’ve recently built a site that requires a more advanced search than the WordPress standard search, and I’ve used Relevanssi before and I’m a big fan. However, it didn’t work! Turns out that there’s some code in the ‘search.php’ template file that breaks it.

SOLUTION:
you need to remove line 25, which is this:

<?php //$posts = query_posts($query_string . '&posts_per_page=-1'); ?>

Once that’s done, it should work correctly. I would advise copying the file into your child theme and making the edit there, otherwise when you update your theme, it will break.

I hope this helps someone
