I'm getting this error on a copy of our SharePoint 2013 site collection. I've tried unghosting searchresults.aspx, but it comes back with "Cannot revert to the site definition version of this file. It is a custom file and is not part of the site definition".

I am currently having the same issue with my 2013 search site. here is the article helped me.

I was still having the same error after following the article above. I have added the line below in the web.config

<PageParserPath VirtualPath="/*" CompilationMode="Always" AllowServerSideScript="true" IncludeSubFolders="true" />

After this, the error has disapeared. This is not a very good solution because it is allowing all pages to run server side scripts.

You can use this to limit the pages VirtualPath="~/_catalogs/masterpage/*"

  • In my case I was creating a new basic search center site from scratch. When I tried Enterprise Search Center I did not have this problem :)

  • In SharePoint 2016 the wildcard approach is all that worked, exactly as it is written in the solution. Make sure to include the "IncludeSubFolders" attribute

As soon as it is "customized" (formerly known as "unghosted"), the reference to [the master page] for that site is in the database, not the file system. Without a change to web.config, code blocks are not allowed.

SharePoint disables the ability to create server-side script by default, you have to turn it on. You do that in the web.config file, in the configuration/SharePoint/PageParserPaths configuration section:

<PageParserPaths>

  <PageParserPath VirtualPath="/pages/test.aspx" CompilationMode="Always" AllowServerSideScript="true" />

</PageParserPaths>

Code-blocks are not allowed in this file: Using Server-Side Code with SharePoint

  • The VirtualPath in this example should be the path to your custom master page that is giving the error. e.g. /_catalogs/masterpage/mycustom.master

If there is a blue mark before your SearchResults.aspx,right click on it and click'Reset to Site Definition'
