# Multiple Search forms on same page

 * Hello,
 * I have a search prompt in the header of my site that brings up a business directory
   search form in an Elementor popup on all pages of my site.
 * On pages where the business directory also has the built in search, the form 
   in the popup doesnt populate the business genre dropdown.
 * Is there a way to allow for two search forms on the same page? I’d really like
   to keep the one in the header so users can search from any page of my site (which
   has more than just a BD)
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@bobbied](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bobbied/) , you can see the
   issue here (staging url): [https://weddings.onecmsdev.com/](https://weddings.onecmsdev.com/)
 * I have a search form in a popup that is accessible from the search icon in the
   header.
 * I also have a search form on the homepage as part of the larger [ businessdirectory]
   shortcode. (I also have part of the main search form on the main page hidden 
   to reduce clutter)
 * Regardless of the popup, I’ve noticed if you have more than one search form on
   a page, portions of the form do not work.
 * You’ll notice in the popup, the business genre dropdown is not populated. But
   if you go into one of the inside pages that does not have a second search form
   on the page (like this one: [https://weddings.onecmsdev.com/2021/04/21/sign-up-to-receive-our-newsletter/](https://weddings.onecmsdev.com/2021/04/21/sign-up-to-receive-our-newsletter/)),
   it works fine. (PS: pardon the unfinished pages, this site is in the process 
   of being built still)
 * So, it seems that more than one search form on a page does not work correctly.

 * I’ll make this as resolved, I decided just to go with a quick search form in 
   the popup just to get it resolved on the site. Thanks for your assistance nonetheless!

 * Hi [@anthonyintertech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anthonyintertech/)
 * Okay, thank you. I’m not sure what the issue was here because I couldn’t reproduce
   it. Were you using the search widget or two different shortcodes? If so, which
   ones?
 * Please let me know if you want to still work on it. I’ll happily assist!
