WP_Query with custom post type search showing all results every time

It doesn’t look like you’re passing your search query in your WP_Query args.

Search Page: activate html code if the tag is on the page

This is completely untested but I believe you would want something along these lines: <?php if( $loop->have_posts() ): while ( $loop->have_posts() ): $loop->the_post(); // Do stuff for results echo ‘<h2>’ . the_title() . ‘</h2>’; // Check for tag if(has_tag($tag) { output HTML if true } endwhile; else: echo “No Results!”; endif; ?>
