    I want to find out if it is possible for two of my custom fields to show on my results page.

    Currently, the custom fields are being searched, and I have my search criteria how I need it. But, on my results page, it shows only a title and excerpt. Can my custom fields for iaomt_author and iaomt_year show also.

    I would like it to be like this:

    Title
    Author Year
    Excerpt

    If your plugin does not allow for this, is there code that can be created to make our website display this information?

    Thank you

    Sorry, I should include that the name for our search is the “IAOMT”.

    Hi!

    The results page is not controlled by the plugin unfortunately, it is a theme related feature. I think the only way to add custom fields there is by creating a child theme and editing the search.php theme file in your theme directory.
    I don’t think this is possible with a custom code, at least I am not aware of any other method to change the displayed content on the results page.

    Thank you Ernest. I was thinking along the same lines.
    If we create a child theme and edit the .php file, would we have to input this information every time there was an update to our site?

    Hi!

    I believe not, as child themes are not overwritten during theme/plugin/site updates.
