Search Results Issue + Search Taxonomy

[Kenneth Ellzey]

I’m having a couple of issues and I’ve been searching documentation and support forums all day. I’m sure its something simple that I’m overlooking…

#1) I can’t seem to get a Product Category to show up in search results. “Air Conditioners” would be an example.

#2) I’m having issues getting the WordPress/My Theme (Divi) Default Search results to go away. I believe I’ll need to edit my theme files, but just wanted to mention it in case you saw something that was obviously wrong.

You may have noticed that I provided a URL of <http://terrellbrothers.com/appliances-2/&gt;
this is because the root directory is simply a splash page while the site is under construction.

Thank you for your help.

Hi!

Thanks for the proper details.

1. You had grouping turned on, which resulted in trimming the categories from the results – since it’s not possible to group the category term to a category (because it’s the category itself).

2. The plugin cannot override the layout of the default search results of the theme, it’s unfortunately not possible in wordpress. It can only override the result items – so you get the same results as in the ajax search process. (except for terms and categories, those can’t be displayed on the wordpress search page)

Thank you so much for your help!! Excellent work on the plug-in. I will highly recommend you to all my fellow WP Designers.
