    Hi,

    I have followed the instructions for placing the results.php file in my child theme but search and replace does not seem to be finding my file. Specifically, I changed the code in my new results.php to show the_content() instead of the_excerpt. You can see my test page at:

    http://www.vivaconsult.net/wordpress/database-test-page/

    my results file is in

    /home/vivaconsult/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/viva/search-filter-pro/templates/results.php

    I also tried matching the documentation by changing search-filter-pro to search-filter (although that seemed wrong since that didn’t match the plugin path) but that didn’t work either.

    /home/vivaconsult/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/viva/search-filter/templates/results.php

    All the forum entries on this topic advise to follow the new documentation which I have tried to do. I would appreciate any insight.

    Thank you,

    Marion

    Never mind. I figured out that I still had the wrong path.

    I changed it to …/themes/viva/search-filter/results.php

    This is a little confusing because the child theme path usually needs to exactly mirror the parent path. But, it works now.

    Thanks,

    Marion
