 * Just to follow up here, the Blog settings on the custom search results page was
   not set up for dynamic results therefore just returning the latest posts. Changed
   this and now it works.

 * Thanks for the speedy replies! I turned that on in Divi, but again, I get the
   same results for every phrase or word I enter into the search bar. This is so
   confusing. I’ll try to read the Divi forum tomorrow and see if it can answer 
   why this is happening.

 * Hi. So sorry for the delay. I was away for about a week. However, I did check
   and the settings were set for YouTube. I didn’t change anything and then opened
   up the site in a new incognito browser and it is now working for some reason.
   Again, I didn’t change anything. Thanks for your help. Looks like it’s working
   again.

 * Oh wow. I didn’t even know there was a “no bump” policy. I had just taken your
   previous advice, researched some, was still confused, didn’t see a different 
   place to ask this question in the forums, and, instead of repeating the question,
   thought it better to just ask here again. My apologies. But thanks for the advice
   about Chat GPT. Hadn’t even thought about using AI. Also, I don’t know anyone
   else that can do this, so I can’t source it out. That’s why I’m asking here.

 * Just thought I’d bump this question to see if anyone else had any other ideas,
   since I have pretty much been stumped, even with Alan’s help. I just don’t understand
   where to put that code and how to use it with a contact form plugin, like CF7.
   If so, great, and I would appreciate it. If not, then thanks anyway for reading.

 * [@alanfuller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanfuller/) You’re absolutely
   right, but I didn’t know where else to ask about this. I feel like I know quite
   a bit about WordPress, but certainly know that there are PHP and Javascript developers
   out there that know waaaaaay more than I do. That’s why I come to the community
   to ask questions… because I know I’ll get great answers. I appreciate the reply
   about Zapier. I am going to look into that as well as the first method you gave
   in order to hopefully improve my skills and do it the right way. Thanks again
   for all of your replies. Really appreciate it.

 * Thanks. Yes, I have been open and honest with them. They are just asking me to
   try, and with a little bit of experience altering the PHP/Javascript code, I 
   just thought I would ask. Sounds like this is the only way to go about doing 
   this, so I will research what you mentioned to see if there’s any elaboration
   out there about it and go from there.

 * Thank you for your response [@alanfuller](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alanfuller/)
   I’ve been looking it over and I’m starting to wonder if this is too far over 
   my head. The way they made it sound, it didn’t seem too difficult. However, I
   am not great with Java or PHP, so this code, as much as I appreciate it, doesn’t
   seem very understandable to me. I don’t know where to start with this, even tying
   it into a form, which I assumed I would create using a plugin like CF7 or something
   else. Thanks again, and if you or anyone else has any other advice that can help,
   please let me know.

 * So, I’ve already tried that, as it would be the easiest test first. At this point,
   guessing it could be user error, I think it might be best to try to disable the
   button after the user has already clicked it once. At least for a second or 2
   while it’s processing. I say this, because when I do some tests now, it only 
   sends multiple when I click it twice. I know you don’t advise this, but it maybe
   the only thing that could help at the moment and it’s worth a try. I have already
   placed text asking for the button to only be clicked once, but who knows how 
   many will actually read that. Can you help me through the process on how to do
   that now? Also, is there any chance you are going to implement this feature in
   future updates? Maybe a toggle that someone can turn on or off if needed? Seems
   like it could be very beneficial.

   page contact form.
