    Hey.

    I’m trying to embed the WordPress search box on a page, I found that I needed to use PHP so I installed the “Allow PHP on Pages and Post” plugin and added the code, however the search box doesn’t display!

    I if i don’t use the plugin the search box appears however “<?php bloginfo(‘home’)’?>/”>” appears in the search box!
    itself

    Code I am using is below

    <form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/">
<div><input type="text" size="18" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" class="btn" />
</div>
</form>

    Does anyone have an idea on what I can do to embed the search box into the page?

  • Try:

    <form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url(); ?>">
<div><input type="text" size="18" value="<?php echo esc_html($s); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" class="btn" />
</div>
</form>

    wp_specialchars is deprecated.

    Appears to be a issue with the Plugin. I disabled the plugin previously mentioned above and used “Exec-PHP” and the code works ??
