Ok
What we tried
We created a separate WordPress page to serve as the custom results page.
We placed the shortcode:
[wpdreams_ajaxsearchpro_results id=1 element="div"]
…on that page.
In Ajax Search Pro → Search Behavior:
Override the default WordPress search results → ON
Action when clicking the magnifier icon → Redirect to custom URL
Custom URL: the page we created for the results
The problem
When typing in the search bar and pressing Enter (or clicking the magnifier), the page loads:
?s=keyword&asp_active=1&p_asid=1&p_asp_data=1 …
…but the page stays empty — no results are displayed.
If we disable “Override the default WordPress search results”, we get the normal WP search page, but that is not what we want.
Our question
We understand from documentation that WordPress does not support multiple search result templates.
But we want to show the Ajax Search Pro results inside our own page layout (built with WPBakery / Porto Template Builder).
Could you please tell us:
Is it possible to use the Results Shortcode on a normal page, and force the search to load results there?
If yes — which settings must be enabled/disabled?
If no — is Elementor Pro really the only method to have a custom-designed search result page?
Any guidance is very appreciated.
