I have used a custom search page for the search results. How do I change the page title. It comes up “Blog”

Thanks

Hey Jim apologies – are you using the plugin without Ajax?

I have a somewhat similar problem. The page title for mine is displaying the name of the first post title (custom post type) on the page. I am using AJAX and the archive page.

Please see this thread for how to override it:

I will be adding this to the plugin as an option in the near future.

Thanks

Thanks. I have to disable my SEO plugin (All-in-One SEO Pack) in order for this to work as well. Is this the only way around this?

After I put this code into my functions.php it displays in the title fine. However, I plan on adding multiple custom post types. Would I be able to target the different post types and display different titles for each?

add_filter('wp_title','search_meta_title');
function search_meta_title($data){
global $sf_form_data;
if ( $sf_form_data->is_valid_form() )
{
return 'Product Search Results';
}
else
{
return $data;
}
}

Follow-up. Looks like I can continue to use All-in-one SEO Pack if I just disable “Rewrite titles”. I will just manually edit my theme’s title tag to how I want but still retain the other features of this SEO plugin.

I’m still curious how I would be able to display a different title based on custom post type.

Hi Peter

Thanks for the updates – yeah the code above is just standard WordPress code for modifying your page title – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_title – and it does a check to see if it is Search & Filter form before updating.

If you want to extract any info you’d probably have to look at the global $wp_query->query – that would allow you to get at all the info that is being used – but it might be a bit of hard work formatting it the way you want.

If you had multiple search forms and you wanted to check which one it was you would do:

if($sf_form_data->form_id()==797)
{
    /* do stuff */			
}

Thanks

Thanks, that worked!

Here’s the final code in my functions.php for anyone else that needs it. I am using two search forms in this example.

add_filter('wp_title','search_meta_title');
function search_meta_title($data){
global $sf_form_data;
if($sf_form_data->form_id()==141)
{
return 'Restaurants';
}
if($sf_form_data->form_id()==169)
{
return 'Hotels';
}
else
{
return $data;
}
}

Hello!
I just joined the conversation because I used your (Peter’s) code in my site, but the page title is still “Blog” when the search form is submitted.
You can take a look to results here: twinmotion.abvent.com/?sfid=5867&lang=en

and you can find the form here: twinmotion.abvent.com/distributors/?lang=en

the code I used in my functions.php is:

add_filter('wp_title','search_meta_title');
function search_meta_title($data){
global $sf_form_data;
if($sf_form_data->form_id()==6184)
{
return 'Distributeurs';
}
if($sf_form_data->form_id()==5867)
{
return 'Resellers';
}
else
{
return $data;
}
}

If you search in the French language the results’ page title is the first h1 in the page.
Strange!

what is going on?
