wp custom field search results messed up

    I am using the wp custom field search plugin. I copied the code into a template file for a “search” page I created, and it looks fine. When I search on a keyword, the results mess up my theme. I created the theme with container and content areas. Inside the content area, I have another div. The results add another container, content area and sidebar inside this div, which messes up my theme. I’ve looked through all of the plugin files to find where the results are displayed, but I’m not a programmer. Does anyone know how I can style the results to fit with my theme?

    Thanks!

    I figured out the problem. I was using a static home page and didn’t realize that the plugin was using index.php even though I specified a template for the form.

    I thought that the search results page would use the same template as the search page, but it uses index.php. I had modified index.php to be a static home page, which messed up the results. So I created a template called home_page.php for my home page and made sure that index.php had the correct format. That fixed everything.

    BTW, I had to re-register after the pw reset yesterday because I never could get an email with a new pw.
