post_title isn’t a valid argument to WP_Query. If you dump the SQL you will see that it is ignored: string(189) “SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS wp_posts.ID FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND wp_posts.post_type=”investigator” AND (wp_posts.post_status=”publish”) ORDER BY wp_posts.post_title ASC LIMIT 0, 6″ You can use name (or pagename) instead, but you cannot push raw SQL through like that. It … Read more
Don’t submit directly to search.php. WordPress probably will not know what to do with that. You will have the same issue submitting directly to any theme file. WordPress should pick up on the s parameter and process the search correctly if you just leave out the action attribute like so: <form id=’searchform’ method=’get’> Untested, but … Read more
This is more of a simple CSS question than actually related to WordPress. However, you need to change your style.css. As TwentyFourteen does not use images, but pseudo css-classes, you need to change this as well: .search-toggle { background: #fff url(‘http://www.citizen-science.at/wordpress/wp-content/themes/cs/img/search-icon.png’) no-repeat; background-size: 30px; background-position: 10px; } .search-toggle:before { content: “”; } By the way, … Read more

You can also set synonyms and promotions (so that particular pages will always appear at the top of specific search results pages).

The default search is handled by WP_Query mostly by a method called parse_search(), which is triggered by the s parameter. You can search the source of WP_Query for is_search and piece together a few other bits and pieces. Or you can just create a query… $s = new WP_Query(array(‘s’ => ‘test’)); … dump the SQL… … Read more
Why you are using this filter code, WordPress will still use searchform.php code, without it? Further, it could be some issue with the loop code within search.php. Twentyfourteen theme looks for content-[post-format].php file. Do you have one in you theme root? get_template_part( ‘content’, get_post_format() ); try using this simplified loop in search.php … <?php if(have_posts()) … Read more
You’ve got a missing ) and you’re passing true as a string and not a boolean value. So this line: $pName = get_post_meta($post->ID, $productName, ‘true’; Should in fact be: $pName = get_post_meta($post->ID, $productName, true); In light of your update why not do something like: echo ‘Product Name: ‘. $pName[‘productName’][0]; echo ‘Location: ‘. $pName[‘locationName’][0]; echo ‘Address: … Read more
The good answer was from @Milo, but he haven’t posted any code, so I post here my result, for people coming here for the right answer. /* Add query var to authorized query var… */ add_filter( ‘query_vars’, ‘add_spectacles_query_vars’ ); function add_spectacles_query_vars( $query_vars ) { $query_vars[] = ‘spectacles-year’; $query_vars[] = ‘spectacles-month’; $query_vars[] = ‘spectacles-day’; return $query_vars; … Read more
You can use the parse_query action hook, and set the orderby and order paramenters. function my_mod_search($query) { if ($query->is_search()) { $query->query_vars[‘order’] = ‘ASC’; $query->query_vars[‘orderby’] = ‘post_date’; } } add_action(‘parse_query’, ‘my_mod_search’);
