Hi Jordan,
just checked it. Isn’t there any language file? I need to change it in german language?
Should i change the text in all of them:
functions.php
enfold/search.php
loop-search.php

?

I thought there should be a language file, ins’t it?

kind regards jak

As Promised, the solution below changes the default search form to make it:
-Show products in a grid
-Add SKUs to the standard search
-Fixes the Ajax search so it all matches

Replace the search form
Edit the searchform.php (use your child theme to make a copy) Replace the default form with the following:

 <form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>">
			<div>
				<input type="text" id="s" name="s" value="<?php if(!empty($_GET['s'])) echo get_search_query(); ?>"  placeholder='<?php echo $search_params['placeholder']; ?>'>
				<input type="submit" value="<?php echo $icon; ?>" id="searchsubmit" class="button <?php echo $class; ?>" />
				<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="product">
			</div>
		</form>

Add SKUs to the default search
The guy who put this together is brilliant thank you! Add the following to your child theme’s functions.php file:

/**  __________________________________   ENHANCE THE STANDARD SEARCH 
 * Join posts and postmeta tables
 * 					 This one hels to include the SKU in tzhe standard search
 * http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/posts_join
 */
function cf_search_join( $join ) {
    global $wpdb;
    if ( is_search()  || !empty($_REQUEST['s'] )) {    
        $join .=' LEFT JOIN '.$wpdb->postmeta. ' ON '. $wpdb->posts . '.ID = ' . $wpdb->postmeta . '.post_id ';
    }
    return $join;
}
add_filter('posts_join', 'cf_search_join' );

/**
 * Modify the search query with posts_where
 *
 * http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/posts_where
 */
function cf_search_where( $where ) {
    global $pagenow, $wpdb;
    if ( is_search() || !empty($_REQUEST['s'] ) ) {
        $where = preg_replace(
            "/\(\s*".$wpdb->posts.".post_title\s+LIKE\s*(\'[^\']+\')\s*\)/",
            "(".$wpdb->posts.".post_title LIKE $1) OR (".$wpdb->postmeta.".meta_value LIKE $1)", $where );
    }
    return $where;
}
add_filter( 'posts_where', 'cf_search_where' );

/**
 * Prevent duplicates
 *
 * http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/posts_distinct
 */
function cf_search_distinct( $where ) {
    global $wpdb;
    if ( is_search() || !empty($_REQUEST['s'] ) ) {
        return "DISTINCT";
    }
    return $where;
}
add_filter( 'posts_distinct', 'cf_search_distinct' );
/* END   Search includes SKU  */

Hope this helps other people. It makes the Search in Enfold do what it should when Woocommerce is installed.

Hi Basilis

Thank you for your answer.

As mentioned in my first message, this was not intended to be an on-page SEO question. Also as mentioned, we are well aware of SEO shortcomings on the site. However, missing meta´s and missing H1´s (only in the blog) would not result in search results as catastrophic as with the site in question.

Request:
Please take a look at the originally attached screenshot of the aHrefs comparison of the two sites. The massive differences are strange to say the least.

We would still like your input on the question about Yoast and Enfold not working well together!

I noticed a support thread on the subject in your own forum, where you are participating personally as recent as june of this year. So, I would imagine that you might have a thought or two about potential Yoast/Enfold issues?

Question:
Is there a risk that Enfold or the Avia builder produce shortcode that yoast can´t read and perhaps even result in Google not crawling the pages where the Avia builder is being used? And if so, do you have any fixes or updates in the pipeline which could fix this issue for us?

Regards

i’m terribly sorry Ismael & others, but i’m just not “getting it” – & i really want to “get it”. i beg for more patience…

so, the Enfold > Maintenance Mode options:
A) Enabled – Use Selected page content without redirect = no matter what is entered into the address bar after the domain, the user is shown the “coming-soon” page (this is what i want & am happy with).
B) Enabled – Redirect to selected page = going to any page changes the url to “http://domain.com/coming-soon/?avia_forced_reroute=1”
…(and in the following dropdown menu, i’ve selected the “coming-soon” page i made for this purpose).

regarding these above two options, whether either is “Enabled” or not, these do not have anything to do with search engine bots ability to crawl & index the pages in this site – but instead, that function is in the Settings > Reading > Search Engine Visibility option – right/wrong?

—

then as a second issue – i’m not sure where this 404 filter thing came from. i totally don’t understand that, but i’m wondering if it has anything to do with my issues or was put in here by mistake or what.

my curiosity question was in regards to the “/?avia_forced_reroute=1” part that results from having “B” from the above options selected. i just don’t understand what that accomplishes & why anybody would need it. your answer to that was in giving me the 404 filter code. is that related? if so, how?

i do see the option in Enfold > Theme Options > “Custom Error 404 Page”, but i’ve not planned on creating a special page for “page not found” issues.

thanks again,
-jason.

Thanks for making me aware of the possibility to display blog posts from a certain tag. But since we have 1200 questions, we can not only display posts from the tag “Under 15”, We must also be able to let the user select a category (and possibly a subcategory). In case, maybe I should use a plugin like Search & Filter? Do you know if it works well with Enfold?
