[Support request] disable search?

[sdanbu]

When URLS are incorrect, a search option appears that lets the user search the whole site.
GP has very handy ways to disable and enable features.

I would like to disable search on some websites.

Is there a way to use simple css or something to simply toggle search function on or off?

Not sure what you mean? You can just disable search in the customizer?

Oh I don’t mean search in navigation.

When visitors go to an invalid url, they get a page (that looks like a biog post) that says “search the site…” and has a search field.

I’m talking about disabling that one

[Leo]

Like disabling that page? Then where would it link to when user enter invalid URL?

I think I need to change the 404.php page

I would probably delete the code:
<?php echo apply_filters( ‘generate_404_text’, __( ‘It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try searching?’, ‘generatepress’ ) ); ?>
</p>
<?php get_search_form(); ?>
<!– .entry-content –>
<?php do_action( ‘generate_after_content’); ?>
<!– .inside-article –>
<?php do_action(‘generate_after_main_content’); ?>
</main><!– #main –>
<!– #primary –>

But how else do I customize it? it shows a list of blog posts…
I think i would remove the code:
do_action(‘generate_sidebars’);

But then how would I add a picture to the header of it?

do I add code: <?php do_action( ‘generate_before_content’ ); ?>
<header class=”entry-header”>
<?php do_action( ‘generate_before_entry_title’ ); ?>
<?php the_title( sprintf( ‘<h2 class=”entry-title” itemprop=”headline”>‘, esc_url( get_permalink() ) ), ‘</h2>’ ); ?>
<?php do_action( ‘generate_after_entry_title’ ); ?>
</header><!– .entry-header –>
<?php do_action( ‘generate_after_entry_header’ ); ?>

I’m still not quite sure what you are looking to do?

[sdanbu]

I’m trying to customize the 404 error page

[Leo]

Can you link me to a page and list out everything you are hoping to do?

[Tom]

You can use a plugin like this to build your own 404 page: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/404page/

That’s probably the easiest method 🙂

Hi, I just bought this cool template and try to adapt it like the original one. Can you advise me how to turn off the search box on mobile, which I added to the top as a widget? Thank you Milosh

Hi there,

could you start a new topic where you can share a link to your site using the Site URL. So we can take a look.
