Display Search Results on a Specific Page

The plugin using your theme search.php template by default. So you can customize your search.php in order to fit your need.

Here is how have to do:
in the search.php while loop

if(wp_verify_nonce($query->query_vars['s'], 'awqsfsearch') ) //this will verify that the search is from the plugin
{
//here you can add your own style of your result.
}
else{
goto your default search result style.
}

Thanks! How do I use this if I have 2 different search forms based on 2 different CPTs that have different results templates for each?

Might it be possible to choose which template we want to use for the serch results in your next update? Thanks!

Hi,

How do I use this if I have 2 different search forms based on 2 different CPTs that have different results templates for each?

Well, it can. By just editing the code above:

if(wp_verify_nonce($query->query_vars['s'], 'awqsfsearch') ) //this will verify that the search is from the plugin
{
 if($_GET['formid'] == '111'){
    //template for your form with id = 111
  }
   if($_GET['formid'] == '222'){
    //template for your form with id = 222
  }

}
else{
goto your default search result style.
}

Might it be possible to choose which template we want to use for the serch results in your next update?

It is possible, but will be not included in near future. Depends on my workload and times.

Hi,
Thank you for helping me on my last problem, I have a new question.

I’m using Portfolio plus as theme, which is an elaborated version of Portfilio press (https://www.ads-software.com/themes/portfolio-press).

The main page of this theme contains all the pictures of my projects, each picture is also a link to a page.

My current “search result page” shows a list of the project’s name.

Is it possible to show results on the main page by keeping just the result pictures and hiding the rest?
Or, is it possible to show results on a page which looks like the main page and contains the picture of all the projects filtered by “Advance WP Query Search Filter”?

I appreciate it if you can help me with this problem.

You can refer to your theme’s index.php (or home.php) to see how the theme developer create the template. And you can use it in your customized search result page.

Hi,
I tried hard to fix it but I’m not good in coding and I don’t know how to proceed.
Could you please tell me if you can help me with this?
I’m using Portfolio plus theme and the search.php contains:

<?php

get_header(); ?>

	<div id="primary">
		<div id="content" role="main">

			<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

				<header class="page-header">
					<h1 class="page-title"><?php printf( __( 'Résultat de recherche', 'portfolioplus' ), '<span>' . get_search_query() . '</span>' ); ?></h1>
				</header>

				<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
				<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

					<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'search' ); ?>

				<?php endwhile; ?>

				<?php portfolioplus_content_nav(); ?>

			<?php else : ?>

				<article id="post-0" class="post no-results not-found">
					<header class="entry-header">
						<h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Aucun résultat', 'portfolioplus' ); ?></h1>
					</header><!-- .entry-header -->

					<div class="entry-content">
						<p><?php _e( 'Effectuez une nouvelle recherche en cliquant sur l\'onglet "Projets"', 'toolbox' ); ?></p>

					</div><!-- .entry-content -->
				</article><!-- #post-0 -->

			<?php endif; ?>

			</div><!-- #content -->
		</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

The index.php contains:

<?php

get_header(); ?>

	<div id="primary">
		<div id="content" role="main">

			<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

				<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
				<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

					<?php
						/* Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content.
						 * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
						 * called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead.
						 */
						get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );
					?>

				<?php endwhile; ?>

				<?php portfolioplus_content_nav(); ?>

			<?php else : ?>
				<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'none' ); ?>
			<?php endif; ?>

			</div><!-- #content -->
		</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Thank you in advance

Hello,

I’m attempting to have 2 different custom results pages for different forms, I have modified your code above:

<?php

if(wp_verify_nonce($_GET['s'], 'awqsfsearch') ) //this will verify that the search is from the plugin
{
 if($_GET['formid'] == '7810'){
    include 'search-industry-partners.php' ;
  }

  if($_GET['formid'] == '7840'){
    include 'search-architect-directory.php' ;
  }

} else { ?>

For the second form, ID 7840 – every time I run a search, I get the results page for the first form, ID 7810.

I tried using an else statement instead and got a white screen.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Thank you

Maybe the search form ‘7840’ doesn’t exist?

Hi TC,

The form exists and is displaying on page.

I was able to resolve the issue by removing the meta filter of ‘title’ that I had selected. I assumed this would have been for the post title but I think a co-worker setup a custom meta field called ‘title’.

I am having some issues with displaying a custom search results page. I have edited my default wordpress search.php file within my template to include the if/else snippet you provided above, but I am unable to get the search to return the custom search template. It always displays the default wordpress search template.

Here is the contents of my search.php file

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

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

				<?php
					if(wp_verify_nonce($query->query_vars['s'], 'awqsfsearch') ) //this will verify that the search is from the plugin
					{
					 if($_GET['formid'] == '86') {
					    //template for your form with id = 86
					    //get_template_part( 'content', 'museumsearch' );
					    echo 'museum search results';
					  }

					}
					else{
					echo 'normal wp search results';
					//get_template_part( 'content', 'search' );
					}
				?>

			<?php endwhile; ?>

			<?php bluehive_sassy_press_content_nav( 'nav-below' ); ?>

		<?php else : ?>

			<?php get_template_part( 'no-results', 'search' ); ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

No matter what I do, it continues to echo out normal wp search results. I have verified that my form id is definitely 86 as that is the form id which was generated and used to place on the wp page.

Try to remove if(wp_verify_nonce($query->query_vars['s'], 'awqsfsearch') ){} check.

I removed the f(wp_verify_nonce($query->query_vars[‘s’], ‘awqsfsearch’) ){} check. as suggest, however that unfortunately yielded the same result. Its still returning the default search. This site is using the starter _s underscores theme form WordPress. Very little has been modified from it.

DOH! Never mind. That did fix it. It turns out my FTP program was being dumb. Thank you! Any idea why WP wouldn’t be able to verify the nonce awqsfsearch ? I looked at the plugin code and I see that its instantiating the nonce.
