Hi guys,
I’m just getting started with converting my site to use S&F Pro. But, I have a few questions:
1) The normal search function has the post title built into the results: https://rockclass101.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Normal-Search.png
But, S&F Pro is not displaying the post title: https://rockclass101.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/SF-Pro.png
How do we get the title to show? I have added a few custom CSS’s, so I’ve attached them as a text document incase something is conflicting with this from happening: https://rockclass101.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Custom-CSS.rtf
2) Is it possible to make the post title display in blue and when highlighted turn orange with an underline added? In essence, the same as this: https://rockclass101.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Title.mov
3) Can the thumbnail image be replaced by the full size “featured image”?
Thanks for the help!
Anonymous(Private) January 3, 2021 at 7:56 pm #271541After reviewing the CSS I’ve added. I believe this is the only part that could be conflicting:
body:not(.search-results) article.page .entry-header, body:not(.search-results) article.post .entry-header, body:not(.search-results) article.post .entry-categories, body:not(.search-results) article.page .entry-categories {
display: none;

So, what theme are you using?
Are you using a page builder plugins?
Can you make a screenshot of form setup, just the Display Results settings tab (down to but not including the Pagination section)?Anonymous(Private) January 4, 2021 at 5:52 pm #271617Hi Trevor,
I am using the Vantage premium theme (child version enabled) by SiteOrigin: https://wordpress.org/themes/vantage/
I am also using their page builder plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/siteorigin-panels/
Here are the setting I have:
Trevor(Private) January 5, 2021 at 11:53 am #271668Ah, OK. Are you able to give me sight of that search.php template file? You could upload the file to a file sharing site, or post it here – please post any code inside code ticks (one before the code, one after)? On my UK Windows keyboard, the code tick key is next to the 1 key in the standard part of the keyboard. If you do this Google search and look at the images, they show various keyboards and where the key is located:
Trevor(Private) January 6, 2021 at 10:42 am #271755OK, looking at that file, the only thing that can be done is to have a generic title, without the Search Terms in it. It can be quite complex to fetch what is being searched (whereas a theme search page has merely to repeat the string being searched, an s&f results page could have any combination of possible terms and terms types, and, to accurately output the title with terms, it would have to be inside the Ajax Container – the part of the page that has the actual results in – which is not coded in this actual search.php template file anyway).
so, assuming a generic title will suffice, copy that file to the child theme folder, and rename it. Maybe:
sandf-search.php
Edit it. Look for these lines (18-20):
<?php if ( siteorigin_page_setting( 'page_title' ) ) : ?> <h1 id="page-title"><?php printf( __( 'Search Results for: %s', 'vantage' ), '<span>' . get_search_query() . '</span>' ); ?></h1> <?php endif; ?>
Replace those with this:
<h1 id="page-title">YOUR GENERIC PAGE TITLE HERE</h1>
And then, in the form, on the Display Results settings tab, change the file template being used to this one.
Anonymous(Private) January 6, 2021 at 5:19 pm #271803By generic title, what do you mean exactly?
The same title for every post? Even though each post is unique in its content.
Or: A black text title that uses the actual title of the post, like this: https://rockclass101.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Normal-Search.png
Anonymous(Private) January 6, 2021 at 6:53 pm #271818Never mind the above, I understand what your changes indicate: The provided instructions will allow me to replace the highlighted section in the below image with “YOUR GENERIC PAGE TITLE HERE”.
That is not what I’m trying to accomplish. What I want to accomplish is this:
The post title is not showing up in the S&F results. For example: “Into the Maze” by Rock Class 101 shows up in the regular search results: https://rockclass101.com/?s=into
But it does not show in S&F. Only the excerpt and thumbnail is visible: https://rockclass101.com/songcategories/?_sft_category=all-songs
How do we make the post titles appear in S&F? And is it possible to have them display as blue text, but when the mouse hovers over it, it becomes orange and underlined?
