putting product search on the homepage

  • Resolved PAUL MEARS

    4 years, 9 months ago

    I successfully installed the search widget on the product pages. I tried multiple times to put search on home page and failed. Now I have multiple search widgets on blog page, multiple filter widgets on all product pages, and the blog page has become my homepage.

    I did not previously have nor do I need a blog page.

    Can I just go back to an earlier version of the website?

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @mmallc,

    You can set any page for home page in WordPress Settings > Reading.

    You can put the search widget in the quick access widget area or if you have Product Search PRO installed use the following shortcode in the content:

    [product_search]

    OK! I put the search widget in quick access and it is now on every page. Yea!

    However, when I go to the website a blog page comes up as my first page, not the “Welcome to” page which is what I want to be my home page, and was my home page until 2 days ago.

    I trashed the blog page a few days ago and deleted it permanently today – no change.

    I went to the “Reading” page and the drop down for set home page only shows my “Contact” page. When I go to my “all pages” page I see a “contact” page and a “Welcome to” page.

    I don’t know what to do. And I don’t know what I did to cause this change.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    RE: the last post. One more data point. When I go to edit on the “Welcome to” page it shows the website link to be vintageeclecticarts.com/home_trash/product.

    Hi @mmallc,

    It looks like your welcome page has a parent that is in trash.

    Please remove your welcome page and create a new one.

    After that please go to WordPress settings > reading and assign your welcome page as Homepage.
