Replace Theme search for Ajax Search Pro

Hi!

Thank you for the details, unfortunately I was not able to log-in with the username and password combination, it gives me an invalid username/password error. Can you please check that?

1. Can you please be more specific about this? If you mean you want to enable search within categtories, then this documentation may help.

2. I am assuming you want to replace the search bar within the site header. If the automatic replacement does not do that, then that search bar is very likely hard coded to the theme header files. You might have to ask the theme author on how to replace it, which files to modify.
If you want, you can add temporary FTP access as well, and I can check that for you. Although I cannot promise I can replace it properly, as it qualifies as a customization, but I will try.

Hi Pamela,

Thank you for the log-in details, it helped me a lot.

I think I managed to find the file responsible of printing that header search. I have replaced their form, with the search shortcode. The file changed was in the theme folders within the wp-content/themes/kalium/inc/laborator_functions.php. Please make sure to have a copy of it. I used search instance = 4 aka ‘Main search’ for that replacement.
I have also made some adjustments under the Layout Options -> Compact layout panel for better search visibility: https://i.imgur.com/TkhmNpa.png

Please note, that his qualifies as a customization request, so my solution may not work in 100% of the cases.

Thank you for the screenshot, I think you are looking for the front-end filters, this documentation may help you out: Front-end Filters
