    Hi,

    I have the following problem with S/F Pro in Genesis:

    Using the native WordPress search widget, a search takes me to a search results page where the body classes are “search search-results …” and my breadcrumbs are “Home > Search for theSearchTerm”, where “Home” is a hyperlink to the home page.

    However, using the S/F Pro widget, with the search form configured to display results as an archive, I get a page where the body classes are “home blog …” and my breadcrumbs show that I am on the home page (i.e., the breadcrumbs are simply “Home” with no hyperlink).

    Forcing “is_search” in the Advanced tab has no effect. Nor does enabling or disabling the “use custom template” option in the Display Results tab.

    The practical problem is that my breadcrumbs aren’t working, and there are also CSS issues with the “home” class in the body.

    I have a workaround for all of this which involves a custom template and some filters, but my point is that it shouldn’t be that hard. Why are my search results appearing on a home page rather than on a search or archive page?

    Hi Leonard

    It is late here and I am tired, so if you have Skype and a webcam, doing it together would probably get it done today (I am in the UK)?

    Thanks Trevor. I was out all day and just got your response. I’ll try your Skype tomorrow. In the meantime I’ll set this up as simplified live site so you can see exactly what’s going on.

    We didn’t seem to catch up today? It is heading towards midnight here, so maybe tomorrow?

    Hi Leonard

    Great to speak with you today. So, we changed the search from As an Archive to using Shortcodes and you now appear to have control over the results.

    Do let me know if I can close the thread and mark it resolved?

    As I haven’t heard back from you, I am closing the thread and marking it resolved.
