• Hi everyone,

    I’m quite new to WordPress. I tweaked kubrick’s theme to fit my needs, almost got everything figured out ’til I tested the search option. The full articles (posts) are returned in the search. Is there a way to show only the post title?

    Thanks in advance.

    Do you know if you deleted search.php? If not, try looking inside for code like this:

    <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry �'); ?>

    Removing it and the tags around it should do the trick.

    If you did delete the file, the simplest way to get it back would probably be to redownload the theme and copy search.php into your theme directory.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks Aristophanes.

    Seems I got confused somehow, as it turns out it wasn’t kubrick’s but the classic template that I tweaked. Sorry about that. Can you give me your input regarding this.

    I’m Really sorry for the inconvenience.

    Classic uses index.php for “everything”.
    See Template Hierarchy: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy

    You can create the different template files to fit your needs or you can use a zillion conditionals in the index to change its behaviour based on what is displayed.

    No problem DapHan.

    As moshu said you could use conditionals – in this case, you would probably want to find this

    <div class="storycontent"><?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?></div>

    and then wrap something like this around it:

    <?php if (!is_search()) { /* Place div here */ } ?>

    This will show no content if the page being displaying is a search results page. If you want it to do something else on search pages rather than show nothing at all, use the statement (after the end brace of the if statement)

    else { /* Code for the action you want to take with search pages */ }

    This may not be the cleanest way to do it – the classic theme seems to manage with a bare minimum of code, which is desirable. Sorry I can’t help much more – I’m new to php and WordPress too:)

    Thanks a lot guys.

    I’m gonna give this a try. I think it should do the trick.

    Thanks Aristophanes & Moshu.
