get_product_search_form not working

Hi,
May I know why you think it is using normal archive template?
To me, it appears to be WooCommerce search widget.

I misunderstood the purpose of the snippet. You are correct.

What i am interested in doing is altering the results page. When I type in a search , I want the results to display how the “Shop” (Home) page looks, not how the “Recent Posts” page looks. Currently, when you search a term, the results look like recent posts instead of products.

woocommerce/templates/archive-product.php is what I am trying to replicate. I would like all search results to look like this.

Hi,

Does this post talk about the same thing that you want? Would this help?

Thanks for getting back to me again.

I tried adding this function but it does nothing.

My worry is that for most plugins that work with woocommerce, I need to be using the archive-product.php template itself.

In that case, i was wondering if there was a function that works like, “if there is an archives page, then use /woocommerce/archive-product.php” as it’s template,” or, “if there is a search page, then use /woocommerce/archive-product.php as it’s template.”

Directly altering my index.php file does not necessarily improve the situation.

It seems the information you posted is probably applicable, but i do not know where to apply it within the index.php. Previously i was just adding the function in the linked article, but i see now that I had to edit the index as well. The example they use are for separate index, search, and archive files. With customizr, I believe there is only the index.

In that case, what do I need to edit in the index file to make it so it applies the <?php get_template_part('woocommerce/archive', 'product'); ?> to the search and archives templates?

Hi,
I tried replicating your issue. The default behaviour itself is that of using archive-product template.

Here are the steps.
1.Added a HTML5 search button on the menu using the snippet.

2.Replaced get_search_form(false) with get_product_search_form(false).
3.Searched for some text in this search form. The results were displayed using archive-product.php

Am I missing something here?

Thank you for your feedback. It seems that a plugin has corrupted the database and I have to start from scratch. I appreciate your help, sorry for the misunderstanding.
