Hi,

Thanks for the details. I cannot see the search bar in mobile view anywhere. Can you please link to a page where the plugin is active in mobile view? I will check the issue then.

thats what i am saying , that i am using wp touch mobile pro plugin on this site

i have attached picture you can see search button press it , but it does not give live search

Oh okay, I see. If the automatic replacement does not work, that means, the theme probably has an integrated search bar in the header, which is not possible to replace via hooks. Probably the only way to replace that is manually via a child theme by editing the source files.
You might have to ask the theme developer which is the corresponding file to edit. After that, I can suggest a possible modification to it to replace the search with the plugin shortcode.

That should be the functions.php file but if it does not exist then the developer would have to create the file.

this is the message we got from wptpuch plugin support team in answer to your query

[Ernest Marcinko]

Well that is not too helpful of them. Can you please add temporary FTP access? I will check that file, maybe there is something in it.

Thanks. I found the file, it is the /default/header-bottom.php
I made a copy of it in the child theme directory, with the search bar replaced, currently with search ID=2, which I made for testing, as there were no search instances.

thank you this works great now

[vix02]

but one question , this search results ( vertical layout ) or for that matter any layout comes over the adsense ads , does it violate adnsese policy ?

[Ernest Marcinko]

I don’t think so, because the search requires an action to display the results, they don’t hover over the ads by just opening the page.
