I want to trial using the above plugin to replace the default theme search on a dev/test server: https://dev.henleyherald.com/
You can see that “Append Search Icon To Main Menu” is enabled in Theme Options and I (initially) want to keep the icon where it is and see how the plugin works in practice.
The plugin instructions are to place a shortcode “[wpdreams_ajaxsearchlite]” or “<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[wpdreams_ajaxsearchlite]’); ?>” into your template or post-page to get it enabled but I cannot figure out how or where to do this in the theme or its settings. I have read Enfold Documentation but cannot find anything to guide me in that.
Please can you advise?
Hey zimbo,
You could try placing it in widget in the header: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/header/#adding-a-header-widget-area
Best regards,
RikardI already have a header widget declared, it displays the date and an email link.
I added the search plugin shortcode into it and it displayed the plugin’s search box, but in the wrong place, which would be OK to allow me to test it out.
However in then looking at the plugin options to see how to customise it, I discovered this in General Options:
Try to replace the theme search with Ajax Search Lite form?
Works with most themes, which use the searchform.php theme file to display their search forms. with an On/Off box.Turning it on, and hey presto, when I click on the magnifying glass in the menu bar, ajax-search-lite kicks into life…
I post this in case anyone else wants to use the plugin and was as initially baffled how to enable it as I was. :-)
Hi,
Thanks for letting us know. Please open a new thread if you should have any further questions or problems.
Best regards,
Rikard
