SharePoint 2013 Content Search Web Part: One or more of the following resource files failed to load

4 Replies

When adding the Content Search Web Part to a site for the first time, the web part took a while to load, then displayed the error:

One or more of the following resource files failed to load: /_catalogs/masterpage/display templates/language files/en-GB/customstrings.js?ctag=322$$15.0.4569.1000

To look for the missing file I went to Site Settings, then Master page and page layouts, which is under the heading Web Designer Galleries.  On that page I navigated through Display Templates -> Language Files.  I could see that for some reason the en-GB folder was missing.

The fact that the folder was missing was odd because I’d used the Content Search Web Part before within the Site Collection.  Anyway, to resolve the error I created the en-gb folder and copied customstrings.js from the en-us folder and pasted it into en-gb.

    I had same problem when changed language in Finnish. WebPart worked correctly in English, but now in Finnish. Same trick worked for this as well. Thanks!
