possible to use is_page() for search?

  • Hi

    I want to show my code only on 2 pages. One is ‘products’ and the other one is ‘search’ (the default search page of wordpress).

    I Tried it like this:

    <?php if (is_page('products') || is_page('search') ) : ?>
// do stuffs
<?php endif; ?>

    I get it worked for the page ‘products’ but not for ‘search’.
    The URL of my search page would e.g. look like this: search/anything. In this case ‘anything’ would be the search keyword.

    Any way I could get this worked?

    Try it with is_search().

    Thanks but this won’t work.
    I tried it with echo var_dump(is_search());
    On every page I get bool(false) but when I’m on the search page nothing appears.

    Are you using a plugin for the search results page. By default the url for search results is yoursite.com?s=anything

    No I’m not using any plugins. You can change the look of the permalinks on wordpress, so did I. But the URL stays basically the same, it just looks different.

    How did you do this? Did you create a custom page template for the search results?

    Try:
    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
