[Resolved] Customize Search Page

[Samuel]

Hi,

I looked around the forum but didn’t found what i needed, except maybe the idea that it couldn’t be possible but I’m asking to be sure.

I’m using a grid plugin to display all my archives pages, to do so i used your PHP function to use page instead of category and tag archives. The design is simple, items are displaying with a square image and title inside the image with overlay effect.

The only page i can’t customize like this is the search result page… is there a way to hook it like my category and tag archives ? Or any possibility to use my grid plugin inside Search page ? Or any other idea ?

Thanks a lot,
Samuel

Hi there,

Any chance you can link us to the site in question?

You can edit the original topic and use the private URL field.

Let me know 🙂

As I’m working local it’s not as simple as that but I can run a test website if you need it ? The plugin I’m using is WP Grid Builder by Themeone : https://wpgridbuilder.com

[Leo]

Hmm I believe you’d need to ask the plugin support to see if it can be used in the search result page.

Ok, so I resolved this with

<?php echo do_shortcode( '[wpgb_grid id="1" is_main_query="true"]' );

To replace the main loop in search.php :

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

					get_template_part( 'content', 'search' );

				endwhile;

By the way I have other problem regarding header of the search page. Using element I’m not able to do anything, nothing is changing in the header… display rules is on “search result”… do I miss something ?

Even this https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/page-header-on-search-page/#post-1056795 is not working.

Thanks for your help !

Hi there,

So when you create a new Element and set the Display Rules to your search results, nothing shows up at all?

Let me know 🙂

Hi,

This is exactly it

[Tom]

Can you show me a screenshot of your hook content and your Display Rules, and then link me to the search results page?

Thanks!

[Samuel]

I’m working on local server so I can’t send you the search result page, and I don’t know how to upload image here… but my Display Rule is “Location : Search Result”, and my hook content is adding <h1>[search-title]</h1> shortcode to display title in header (for now it’s displaying under header), also I tried to put a “section image : custom image”, etc. etc.

If you need access, I think I’ll publish my website soon and I’ll hide header with css. When online I’ll send you a link.

A link would definitely be helpful. Which hook is the Element added to?
