  Any link I have to a PDF gives me a broken image link in my search results in Chrome or Firefox. Safari gives a thumbnail of the first page. I believe they used to just give a document icon like the ones shown here: http://dante.swiftideas.com/?s=test

  Any ideas? This is driving me crazy!

  Thanks.

  Hi,

  Can you activate the parent to see if isn’t something in the child theme?
  Thanks

  Thanks for the response. I tried that, same results when the parent theme is active.

  It seems you have some errors in the javascript console that can be causing that.
  

  Can you disable all plugins and check if it still happens so we can discard a plugin issue?

  I disabled all and there were still broken images.

  I also turned them off one at a time to see if there was some other conflict – same results when shift-refreshing the page after each deactivation.

  Thank you very much. Unfortunately, this did not solve the problem. I updated to the version you supplied, purged all caches, and searched, still the same results. I also tried activating the parent theme and checked, same results.

  Hi,

  They would only show a document icon if the search is returning a “Post” post type.

  As you are using a plugin SearchWP to search for different posts types, the search results now return attachments(media post type) which is what the PDF’s are saved as.

  You would need to hire a developer to integrate the custom search result layout for media type post types such as PDFs as unfortunate this customisation is beyond the scope of support.

  You could simply insert your PDF links into your Posts, these would then display as expected in the results.

  Thanks.

  Thanks again for responding. That makes sense to me, but in all the testing I am doing, why is it that in Chrome, I get these broken image links, as shown above, but in Safari, I seem to get thumbnails?

  Hi,

  The HTML output is for an image, however, the URL for the image is the PDF link.

  Chrome cannot render a PDF in the same way as Safari can within an image tag – I am surprised myself Safari can render what it is as strictly speaking the markup is wrong.

  Thanks.
