Hi Trevor,

Thanks for setting that up.

I just went in and updated the settings, using the Elementor integration, as you suggested.

I still do not get any results.

I’ve tried using an Elementor template for my search results, and I’ve also tried using the shortcode that appears on https://crcfl.net/search-results/

Neither seems to work. Please help!

I honestly do not care about using Relevanssi, I just need this search to work with results that actually make sense, but do not include events.

For example, when I search for brain, I should get results about brain cancer.

Thanks for your assistance.

You have not completed the Results URL, in the first red box in this screenshot:

https://www.screencast.com/t/IPb52GQz0l

I have (for now) switched on the second setting in red, for testing. It makes it easy to see in the URL what is being searched for. You can switch it off when we are done.

I have set the page up as it should be, in Elementor, per our guide. On the actual results page, it might not be a good idea to have both the search in the header AND in the page content. They might well conflict.

Thank you so much! Can you explain why it’s only showing 1 result on the page?

It seems to be showing only posts, and not pages. For example, this page has information about brain cancer, but it does not come up in the search: https://crcfl.net/cancers-by-type/
