Hi, is the reason you want to use the shortcode with search.php so you can put the search on the page also?

Thank you for your reply. I’m sorry for not being more clear.

Requirements:
1. Place search results and search on the same page.

2. Use the same formatting of results from my theme that display when I use the Archive display method with my default custom template Search.php Example

I’ve already completed this task from documentation

Copy the file wp-content\plugins\search-filter\templates\results.php from the templates folder in to the newly created folder in your theme – wp-content\themes\your-theme-name\search-filter\results.php

But I can’t figure out how to edit the file provided Results.php file to return the same styled results as my theme’s Search.php

Thank you for your help,

Joshua

1. Place search results and search on the same page. Test page

OK. I see. I will take you back your your first post.

What I’d like is the theme’s search.php results on the shortcode page, but I’m not sure if 1. It is possible? 2. I have the technical ability to pull it off.

It isn’t possible using S&F out of the box. BUT. It is possible (but by you, not us as it is not really in the remit of support) to choose to use the shortcode method and to copy over html structure from one to the other. It’s just a drawn-out process of copying over php and html structure and making sure that it works, making sure the theme’s css works with it (adding or changing css classes and HTML markup as necessary). So, it can be done.

Let me know how you get on.
