Search Results Page Title Is Random

Hi there,

Not sure if I fully understand.

Can you activate the navigation search on your site so I can test it?

By default, the search result page title should be Search Results for: [keyword]. So if I search "theme", then this is the result:

Hey Leo,

I'm afk right now so can't put search in the nav, but you can access the search bar easily by typing in any messed up URL. Like VolleyballVault.com/whatever ,

Then simply type whatever you like into the search bar and it'll take you to the SRP.

From there you'll see how the top header on the page isn't functioning as you mention.

Cheers!

Hi there,

try this:

1. In Appearance > Elements edit the element titled: Global
1.1 Select the Headline block that is displaying the title, and in Advanced > Additional CSS Class(es) add: hero-title
1.2 Save the changes.

2. Add this PHP Snippet to your site:

add_filter( 'generate_dynamic_element_text', function( $text, $block ) {
    if ( is_search() && ! empty( $block['attrs']['className'] ) && 'hero-title' === $block['attrs']['className'] ) {
        $text = get_search_query();
    }

    return $text;
}, 10, 2 );

Fantastic stuff, David!

That did almost exactly what I wanted.

I'm wondering if it's not going to be too difficult for you to put together, how difficult it would be to remove the second 'search results for:' part on the page, as that info is now in the first header.

I modified the code slightly to add some text before the output - but now it seems kind of redundant to have it there twice.

If it'll be too much of a pain in the ass, don't sweat it. You've been really helpful already!

Cheers,

Ah ok - add this snippet to remove that:

remove_action( 'generate_before_loop', 'generate_do_search_results_title', 25 );

That didn't seem to make any difference unfortunately.

It's all good though, I don't want to waste your time on something like this. I'm happy enough with how it's looking. :)

Thanks to the both of you for such awesome support!

Try changing it to:

add_action('wp', function(){
    remove_action( 'generate_before_loop', 'generate_do_search_results_title');
});

Absolutely nailed it!

Thanks so much David!!!

Glad to be of help!
