Reply To: WP Default Search Not Getting Replaced.

Hi,

That snippet looks promising, you probably don’t need a child theme after all.

Try adding this custom code to the functions.php in your theme/child theme directory. Before editing, please make sure to have a full site back-up just in case!

add_filter( 'generate_navigation_search_output', function() {
    return sprintf(
        '<div class="navigation-search">%s</div>',
        do_shortcode( [wpdreams_ajaxsearchpro id=2]' )
    );
} );

Based on their recommended snippet, this should work.
