The form in your HTML code looks like this: <form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”<?php echo $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]; ?>”> <label class=”hidden” for=”s”><?php _e(‘Search this site:’); ?></label> <input type=”text” value=”Search site” name=”s” id=”s” /> <input type=”submit” id=”searchsubmit” value=”Search” /> </form> PHp is not parsed in this fragment, so I guess you didn’t include a PHP file, just regular HTML. … Read more

It should be: function more_posts_per_search_page( $query ) { if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) { if ( $query->is_search ) { $query->set(‘posts_per_page’,500); $query->set(‘post_type’,array( ‘author’, ‘book’)); } } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’,’more_posts_per_search_page’ ); Second, there … Read more
