  • your form action shows action="#" which will make the form search the current url adding a /?s=query after it !! you have to fix that!

    edit your theme or set up a child theme and edit/create your searchform.php to contain

    <form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" class="searchform" action="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>">
    ....
    </form>

    did anything work ?

    This is the problem, I feel the theme is convoluted and I cannot find where to add this. Search.php runs loop.php, and I simply get lost.

    what theme are you using ? I searched “splendio” in WP themes directory but didn’t find any, perhaps it is a wp.com theme..

    is there any way to download your theme? if not, you can paste the code found inside your search.php and loop.php files below..

    Sorry for the delay, no it is a theme I found on Google randomly, not for wordpress.com.

    loop.php:

    <?php
    /**
     * The loop that displays posts.
     *
     * The loop displays the posts and the post content.  See
     * http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop to understand it and
     * http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags to understand
     * the tags used in it.
     *
     * This can be overridden in child themes with loop.php or
     * loop-template.php, where 'template' is the loop context
     * requested by a template. For example, loop-index.php would
     * be used if it exists and we ask for the loop with:
     * <code>get_template_part( 'loop', 'index' );</code>
     *

     * @subpackage Twenty_Ten

    Thanks again

    Hey there.
    sorry the above 2 files don’t contain your search form code.
    ( in loop.php there is <?php get_search_form(); ?> .. )

    Are you sure you don’t have a searchform.php file ? if there is no such file, please paste below loop-search.php file content.
    and sorry I put you through this, I am still a beginner by the end 😉

    Thats the problem, neither exist.

    The theme can be downloaded here:https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/splendio/

    If that helps. I just need to edit the url it gets on search, but cant find where it is.

    thanks for all your help

    Hey Paul,
    I have downloaded your theme, I found out it does not have search form template so I guess it uses default one..

    you can attempt to fix this bug by creating a searchform.php file, and paste this code in it :

    <?php
    /**
     * Search form template
     *
     * @package Splendio
     */
    ?>
    	<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo esc_url( home_url() ); ?>" role="search">
    		<label for="s" class="assistive-text"><?php _e( 'Search', 'wordpress' ); ?></label>
    		<input type="text" class="field" name="s" value="<?php echo esc_attr( get_search_query() ); ?>" id="s" placeholder="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Type Here to Search', 'wordpress' ); ?>" />
    		<button type="submit">Go</button>
    	</form>

    it would be better if you create a child theme ( /splendio-child ) and throw that file in it.

    let me know if it worked.

    Thanks I did that but now search seems to do nothing unless it is on the first page:

    http://www.honestcanadian.com/android-appsgames-found-contain-malware/

    Try using search

    Hello Paul. sorry to hear the code didn’t work, but, it seems to me ( based on your frontend HTML ) that the file did not do the job

    this is your HTML:

    <form method="get" action="#">
       <fieldset>
       <p class="search-title">Search</p>
       <input type="text" value="" name="s"><button type="submit">GO</button>
       </fieldset>
      </form>

    so as it seems, your theme ignores searchform.php file use. we can try solving this by creating a PHP filter:

    1. Open your functions.php file,
    2. add this code:

    function my_search_form( $form ) {
        $form = '<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo esc_url( home_url() ); ?>" role="search">
    		<label for="s" class="assistive-text"><?php _e( 'Search', 'wordpress' ); ?></label>
    		<input type="text" class="field" name="s" value="<?php echo esc_attr( get_search_query() ); ?>" id="s" placeholder="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Type Here to Search', 'wordpress' ); ?>" />
    		<button type="submit">Go</button>
    	</form>';
    
        return $form;
    }
    
    add_filter( 'get_search_form', 'my_search_form' );

    whether it worked ( I tested it, it worked for me ) or not, let me know.
    Thank you!

    That white screen of deathed my site 🙁

    Sorry Man! every code I give, I test it first and it works on my WP installation.
    Actually that is a wp.com theme, not wp.org one although you can download/install it, so start a thread in wp.com support forums or wait for someone to find this thread and help you.
    ——
    there is a temporary procedure you can do until you fix that, which is creating a text widget on top of all widgets, for a search form :

    <form method="get" id="searchform" action="http://www.honestcanadian.com/" role="search">
    		<label for="s" class="assistive-text">Search</label>
    		<input type="text" class="field" name="s" value="" id="s" />
    		<button type="submit">Go</button>
    </form>

    and hide top header search form through custom CSS..

    Hey Paul, back to you lol. I have a Jquery solution you can use.
    basically this tool will change your search form action from “#” to “http://www.honestcanadian.com/&#8221; on every load.
    Simply add this code in your header.php file ( parent or child theme ):

    <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script>
    window.addEventListener('load', function () {
       $('div.search form').attr('action', 'http://www.honestcanadian.com/');
    }, false);
    </script>

    don’t forget, feedbacks 😀
