That drag and drop thing doesn’t do anything as it relates to the product search widgets displayed search results. Unfortunately, the coding solution I found won’t work, as it changes the entire websites search results to be based on menu order, and I can’t assign menu orders to thousands of pages. So this is still unsolved.

The problem is, that WooCommerce “default sorting” does not apply to Product Search results. Instead, it replaces default from the drop down with the term “Relevance”. For whatever nonsensical reason, “Relevance” disregards menu order, and instead alphabetizes the results. This is not helpful, and it shouldn’t require so much research and customization to be able to use the same ordering logic in search results as on a category page.

I found something on StackOverflow that solved the issue by adding a short snippet to the functions.php in my child theme.

/**
* Sort product search results by menu order
*/

add_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’sortby_menuorder_query’);

function sortby_menuorder_query($query) {
if ( isset($_REQUEST[‘s’]) ) {
$query->set(‘orderby’, ‘menu_order’);
$query->set(‘order’, ‘ASC’);
}
}

Nevermind, i’m an idiot. I fixed it.

You answered my other two inquiries. This question would still apply if i was on the free version. When i click “support” within the WP backend it takes me to this forum, not to a private forum.

Thanks!

I figured out how to do this by using standard CF7 classes as CF7MD doesn’t have any options that I can see for adding text in between form fields. If there is a way, and a way to style them, please let me know. I don’t know if the MD-RAW tags can contain text without options that can be styled using the MD-RAW class, if possible, then that would be better than my less than great work around that combines MD and standard CF7 coding.

No, I was able to use javascript in the functions.php of the theme to eliminate the need for the plugin entirely.
