major adjustments to search results page
3 replies · Started by Franz on July 16, 2022
Hi,
I'd like to do major adjustments to the search results page that can't be done through hooks, or elements, or CSS (as far as I can figure out). i.e. I'd like to insert advertizing after every third search result, show the results more in a listing style, add something like category color labels to the results etc.
The themes-function.php of GP refers to " get_template_part( 'content', 'search' ); " --> Can you tell me where I can find the code that's been used for the search template part? (I assume I can use and modify it then in my child theme ...)
Thanks and kind regards
Franz
Hi there,
if you want to use PHP templates, then make a copy of the content.php template in your child theme and rename it content-search.php. Then you can customize that template purely for your search results.
In addition to this, if you're using the GPP Blog module, for things like Columns then there is the option_generate_blog_settings filter you can use to modify those for specific cases:

Thanks, David!
I'm going to use PHP templates in my case then. Works perfectly well!

Glad to be of help!
