Where do I add code to function.php file?

Hello,

If you are talking about code for adding search form yo your site

echo do_shortcode( ‘[aws_search_form]’ );

than its depends on theme that you are using.

You must find where your current theme has search form and replace its code with AWS plugin code.

But there is another solution for you.

To the very bottom of your functions.php file please add code

add_filter( 'get_search_form', 'aws_search_form' );

function aws_search_form( $form ) {
    return do_shortcode( '[aws_search_form]' );
}

Us I say all delends on your theme but its can work for you.

When I try to replace echo esc_url($Search_URL); with echo do_shortcode( ‘[aws_search_form]’ ); inside the searchform.php I get the error below:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘’’ (T_STRING) in /home3/adsantoli/public_html/wp-content/themes/keep-calm-and-e-comm/searchform.php on line 5

I also tried the second option adding the code at the bottom of the function.php file and it creates syntax errors, please advise

Please show me the content of your theme searchform.php file and I will tell you how to add plugin search form in right way?

Thanks.

<?php
$Search_URL = esc_url( home_url(‘/’) );
$Track_Orders_Label = __(‘Search’, ‘keep-calm-and-e-comm’);
?>
<form id=”headerSearch” role=”search” method=”get” action=”<?php echo esc_url($Search_URL); ?>”>
<input type=”text” name=”s” id=”headerSearchCatalog” placeholder=”<?php echo esc_attr($Track_Orders_Label); ?>”>
</form>

In this case please replace

<form id=”headerSearch” role=”search” method=”get” action=”<?php echo esc_url($Search_URL); ?>”>
<input type=”text” name=”s” id=”headerSearchCatalog” placeholder=”<?php echo esc_attr($Track_Orders_Label); ?>”>
</form>

with

<?php echo do_shortcode( ‘[aws_search_form]’ ); ?>

I get the same error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘’’ (T_STRING) in /home3/adsantoli/public_html/wp-content/themes/keep-calm-and-e-comm/searchform.php on line 5

So inside your searchform.php file you must have

<?php
$Search_URL = esc_url( home_url(‘/’) );
$Track_Orders_Label = __(‘Search’, ‘keep-calm-and-e-comm’);

echo do_shortcode( ‘[aws_search_form]’ );

Is that right?

You even can short it to

<?php
echo do_shortcode( ‘[aws_search_form]’ );

take a look at my screen and tell me what im doing wrong:

Try to remove

$Search_URL = esc_url( home_url(‘/’) );
$Track_Orders_Label = __(‘Search’, ‘keep-calm-and-e-comm’);

from your file

Leave only

<?php
echo do_shortcode( ‘[aws_search_form]’ );

error again:

Please also try to remove last empty line.

If its doesn’t work – remove ‘echo’

none of that worked. thanks for trying
