customize search result in wordpress

What shows in search results is not always controlled by search plugins. You probably need to adjust your theme.

Add CPT to search results with pre_get_posts

Using free tool like Google Analytics or StatCounter you can verify the searches really occurred or not. Workaround As you have the exact timestamp when the search occurred you can also get the user’s identity, … Read more

Update #1 To change the way posts are displayed only on the search page, you can add || is_search() after smt_getOption( ‘layout’, ‘cuttxton’ ) if( smt_getOption( ‘layout’, ‘cuttxton’ ) || is_search() ) But it will … Read more
