Default theme search assist request

[fhumayun]

Good day –
Would you kindly assist with the replacement of the site’s default theme search ?
I’m also very open to cool, new ways to integrate ajax-search-pro, and would love it if you’d provide a great way to showcase ajax-search-pro at the site.

Here’s a quick screencast illustrating the current issue: https://www.screencast.com/t/QWwSEV8A

Here’s additional, necessary info you’ll need to access the site using SFTP.

The SFTP port is 10022
Remote Path to WP:
/srv/www/seekeraftertruth.com/public_html

Many thanks,
Faisal

Hi Faisal,

Thank you very much for the proper details. I logged in via sFTP and looked up the header search location. It is hard-coded in the includes/header-search.php file, which made it not automatically replacable.

I made this same file in the child theme directory, and replaced the search source code with the plugin shortcode, you will find it in the salient-child/includes/header-search.php file. Now it will display the plugin search bar instead of the built in one.

I would also recommend adding this custom CSS code to have the plugin better positioned:

[html].wpdreams_asp_sc-1 {
width: 90% !important;
margin-top: 48px !important;
}[/html]

Please note that this qualifies as a customization request, so I cannot guarantee that my solution will work properly in all cases. Nevertheless, I still hope I did help you out, the best way I could.

I’ll definitely leave an awesome review for your plugin and for your outstanding service, and if you can think of anything else that I can do to help, please do let me know.

Once again, thanks for making it a great day for me,
I very truly hope that you have a brilliant one too!
