Hi @jayala87,

the Avada theme does have a feature that automatically scrolls to anchor links. Because the Modal Form uses an anchor link to open the modal, Avada scrolls the page to the modal form which is at the bottom of the page HTML.
You may want to check with the Avada support how to prevent this feature on the Modal menu item.

I hope this helps!

Hi @mstudioil,

yes you should customise the theme’s template used for the search results page.
The default template used by WordPress is called search.php and is located in the root folder of your theme.
Yet not all theme use that template, some use the index.php or a custom template which varies from theme to theme.
The theme developers should be able to help locating the template and/or customise it to add columns if possible.

Thanks

Hi @candlefind,
sorry for the late reply!
There are no issues with WordPress 6.1.1 that we aware of from our testing.

You can update WordPress to version 6.1.1 without worries!

Hi @wpdreamer,

the SearchWP Live Ajax Search uses a template to display the results.
This template can be customised as described in this article:

https://searchwp.com/extensions/live-search/#customizing-results

The template contains a loop to render each result.
You can add any shortcode to the results using all available WordPress functions.

I hope this helps but if you have any other question let me know!

Hi Christoph,

thanks for sending us the solution you found!
I’ll post it here so other users can benefit from your solution.

The issue was caused by the plugin “Page Scroll to id”
It can be fixed excluding the SearchWP Modal Link from the scroll to ID behaviour.

Thanks

Hi @numberxvriku,

the Live Ajax Search works out of the box with search forms generated using the WordPress function get_search_form().

Elementor uses custom code to build the search bar so the Live Ajax Search cannot integrate with it directly.

For it to work with the Elementor search widget please add the following code to your functions.php:
https://gist.github.com/BrElio/0aa7b045becd4fd572b10bee4e1307f3

Then add the class “swp-live-ajax-form” to the Elementor Search Form Widget.
That should do it!

Hi @jasnick,

the SearchWP Modal only adds the search form to the site.
The search would still be performed by WordPress if SearchWP search engine is not installed and the search results are displayed by your theme.

Asking the theme developer would be the best option here!

Hi @guypeled,

if you are using the Live Ajax Search without the core SearchWP plugin, the search will be run using the default WordPress query_posts.

You can customise the query_posts arguments and exclude any page by ID adding the following code to your functions.php:

add_filter( 'searchwp_live_search_query_args', function( $args ) {
	$args['post__not_in'] = [123,234]; // List all posts IDs that should be excluded from the search.
	return $args;
} );

I hope this helps!
