I am trying to search various topics and get no results in all the 3 Affinity applications for both Pexels and Pixabay. When I do the same in Affinity V1 applications I get the desired results.

I can't check my desktop machine right now, but it's working on iPad for me.

What OS are you on?

I am on Windows 10. I uninstalled and reinstalled, I have reset and cleared all user data by holding Ctrl when opening Publisher but the issue persists.

maybe a dumb question but after entering the search term (dog or whatever) did you press Return to start the search?

Yes I did. I ticked the I understand box before I did a search but never got any window to confirm I have agreed to the terms, don't know if that is why it is not working. When I click my enter button I get an icon of dots turning in a circle but noting happens after.

Are you talking about tapping the Return or Enter key on your keyboard or something else?

I have recently upgraded to Affinity Photo v2. I, too, have the problem of searches in Stock from both Pexels & Pixabay (what happened to Unsplash from v1?) appearing to search but returning nothing and offering no explanation. I'm using Windows 11 and searching in Stock in v1 worked perfectly. I didn't even get the "I understand" dialog check box to confirm(?) in v2 that has appeared in some comments here. I have read through some of the comments and problems regarding this and it appears opinions are somewhat random as to whether it works or not and no definitive answers seem to be forthcoming, so is not really of any help. I feel we can only hope that the appropriate staff at Affinity are monitoring these comments and will come up with an answer. Guess I'll just have to go to the relevant sites to download the media.

It was removed in one of the later V1 versions due to some change in Unsplash that caused some kind of interoperability problem.

What happens when you click on the hyperlink in the upper-right corner of the panel?

Hi Ron,

On both Pixabay and Pexels both just send me straight to their respective websites. I don't have, and never did have, the view of the Stock Studio as shown in your comment. On both I get a truncated view that only contains down to where it says 'pixabay' or the 'P' logo of Pexels. I don't get shown the checkbox part which I means I can't agree to their T&Cs. It all worked perfectly in version 1. In fact, I'm wondering if the problem might lay in the PC registry, where data may have been left from where I installed V1 and wasn't cleared when V2 was installed. Probably clutching at straws with that one but I can remember having a problem once when trying to install Freemake File Converter and had to do a manual data delete with Freemake's help.

V1 and V2 are entirely separate.

Perhaps you could show us your Stock panel? Please include that entire Studio panel stack.

Clicking on the hyperlink should not have worked, taking you to their website. So the rest should work, I'm curious to learn what happens after you do what Old bruce suggests. You should see the T&C confirmation checkbox, and once that's checked it should work.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for your post. Well, who'd of thought that would be necessary or available? I can indeed see the whole panel now.

Unfortunately, although I have now been able to check the box agreeing to their terms, the search terms I enter still respond as before, a short 'busy' circle appears but STILL no access to any images. I also tried closing Affinity and restarting, to no avail. Thought we were on to something there but ,alas, no.
