Hello,
1. Is there any way to view results in the same form page?
2. How to make the search form “Horizontal”?

Thanks.

Hi

1. The answer to this is dependent on how your site works and is structured. In general, if you want the same search form on many pages and for the results to appear on whichever page oyu happen to be on, that would require a new feature in Search & Filter pro (planned for the next major version, which is some while away yet), which is auto detect current page to be the results URL. However, under certain (varied) conditions, it is possible. Try using the Ajax option as well for this.

2. Again, somewhat dependent on your actual form, but search this forum for the key word horizontal for examples of custom css that do as you want.

Hi

The issue is that, using the As an Archive method, you need to set the results url to the same page name (search). HOWEVER, when you do that, the search page uses the search.php template, and so the page looks totally different.

You need to figure out which template the search page is using right now, and maybe set that template as the one to use.

Ah, I did not see that second reply. Give me a minute or two to check again.

I had another look at this form and the same comment applies.

Thanks for reply.
I fixed “results url”, but now search form not appears!
I tried with/without custom template, the same thing.

Yes, that is what I saw. Your theme has many templates. You need to find which one the search page you made is using normally. Either that or use the shortcode method; the results do not look good, but you and I can fix that afterwards!

Thanks. It resolved. I used the shortcode.
