Theme Conflict with searches

I’m having an odd problem with Events Organiser and a premium theme from MySite. The problem is that when I’m using this theme, I get “Nothing Found” when I try to view events at a particular venue or in a particular category or with a particular tag. All of these have associated events. When I change themes these queries work fine. I’ve tried flushing the rewrite rules, and
I’ve set WP_DEBUG to true. No change in behavior or any useful information.
I’m sure this is a conflict with the theme, but I don’t know what to try to isolate the problem and I don’t know how I’m going to describe the problem to the theme author.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Jamii,
I’ve just sent you an email. One way of testing rewrite errors is to see if accessing the content via non-pretty urls still results in a 404 ( e.g.
yoursite.com?event-category=foobar)All the best

The result isn’t a 404, it’s a “Nothing Found
Apologies, but no events were found for the requested category.”When I use the non-pretty URLs the result is the same. Also, the URL is converted into its
pretty format, so I’m not sure I’m bypassing the permalink issue.I’ll also reply to your email. Thanks!
For the benefit future readers this turned out to a bug specific to the theme (infocus theme). The bug was fixed, though I’m not sure if the problem has been addressed in a subsequent update of the theme.
The location of the bug is in
mysite_query_posts()which can be found inlib/functions/theme.php. This function essentially over-rides the “main query”. You may also need to flush permalinks (visit Settings > Permalinks and click save changes) after activation.
