How to Set Search Results to Divi’s “Search” template

Hi,
I was using the free version of your plugin to try and filter, but the issue was, if I use the WordPress Search bar, it detects and uses the designated Search page I’ve built in Divi Theme Builder. However when I use your plugin, it goes to a default blank template rather than the search page.

I can see I can designate a page, the default is search.php – but when I try to save, it tells me that page doesn’t exist. I know you integrate with Divi, can you tell me what to switch this too?

Also, when I go to the “Content” tab of the “blog” module as specified in your Divi Add On docs, there is no option to add Search and Filter. Do you have any further documentation on your setup instructions? I could not find many details.

I have added the license key, but that did not help.

Two things.

First, are you using our Divi Extension? I wonder if this is the problem with the content tab. You can find it for download (if you are logged in) at the top of this guide page:

Second, our extension requires a defined results page as a real page, not using the theme search template. You could divert the theme (header?) search to the page defined in our search form.

There is an example here (the site shown uses a slug name for the search results page):

Note, the Search & Filter form on the results page must have a Text search field to receive the search string.
