Hi there,

I’m not sure that function is what you’re after.

Are you wanting your search results not to have a sidebar?

If so, you can:

1. Create a Layout Element: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/layout-element-overview/
2. Set the sidebar layout
3. Set the Display Rules to “Search Results”

Let me know 🙂

[Michael]

That is what i need, thank you tom.
i have get rid of sidebar and all elements that i dont need. but the search result layout is not very nice
is there a way to display search result like plugin wp_show_posts

thank you

[Tom]

It depends on how you’re using WP Show Posts. You can set up columns etc.. using the Blog module in Customize > Layout > Blog.

Let me know 🙂

[Michael]

im trying to modify search result,
in Blog module in Customize > Layout > Blog.
theres only option for archive and single, no option for search result page?

[Leo]

Not in the customizer, but you can use a filter:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/using-columns-in-the-blog/#changing-the-number-of-columns

Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

[Michael]

i have tried to use the code and put it in code snippet or function.php but it doesnt work

this code:
add_filter( ‘generate_blog_get_column_count’,’tu_search_column_count’ );
function tu_search_column_count( $count ) {
if ( is_search() ) {
return 33;
}

return $count;
}

[Leo]

That code should work.

Have you tried clearing the caching plugin and disable it as we suggested in the start a new topic checklist?

What can I search to see the search result page? The site isn’t in English.

Let me know 🙂

[Michael]

i have cleared the caching and disable it in plugin section
this is the link to the search result page
https://agenkutus.com/?s=si

[Leo]

Hmm the code should definitely work.

Are you currently adding it using Code Snippets?

Can you make sure the snippet is actually activated?

[Michael]

im using code snipet and its activated.

[Tom]

Is the columns option turned on in the Customizer?

If not, you may need to add this as well:

add_filter( 'generate_blog_columns', function( $columns ) {
    if ( is_search() ) {
        return true;
    }

    return $columns;
} );

[Michael]

it works now tom, thank you
