How do I create a custom search in WordPress?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:08 am

If you want to create a custom search in WordPress, there are a few ways you can go about it. You can use the built-in search function, or you can use a plugin such as Yoast SEO. However, if you want to create a more advanced search, you can use a plugin such as Advanced Custom Fields. Once you have installed the plugin, you will need to create a new custom field.

First, you will need to select the “Fields” tab, and then click on the “Create Custom Field” button. In the “Field Name” field, you will need to enter the name of the custom field. In the “Field Type” field, you will need to select the “Search” option. Finally, in the “Field Settings” field, you will need to enter the following information:.

The “Search Term” field will allow you to enter a search term.

The “Search Conditions” field will allow you to enter specific search criteria.

The “Search Order” field will allow you to specify the order in which the search results should appear.

The “Search Results Display Format” field will allow you to specify the format in which the search results should be displayed.

The “Search Results Filtering” field will allow you to specify whether the search results should be filtered.

The “Search Results Sort Order” field will allow you to specify the order in which the search results should be sorted.

The “Search Results Displayed On” field will allow you to specify which page the search results should be displayed on.

The “Search Results Visible Only In” field will allow you to specify which posts/pages the search results should be visible on.

The “Search Results Visible In” field will allow you to specify which posts/pages the search results should be visible on.

The “Search Results Visible In All Posts” field will allow you to specify which posts/pages the search results should be visible on.

The “Search Results Hidden In” field will allow you to specify which posts/pages the search results should be hidden in.

PRO TIP: If you are not a developer or are not comfortable working with code, do not attempt to create a custom search in WordPress. Doing so could break your site.

The “Search Results Hidden In All Posts” field will allow you to specify which posts/pages the search results should be hidden in.

The “Search Results Order By” field will allow you to specify the order in which the search results should be displayed.

The “Search Results Order By ID” field will allow you to specify the order in which the search results should be displayed, by ID.

The “Search Results Displayed On First Page” field will allow you to specify which page the search results should be displayed on.

The “Search Results Displayed In First Position” field will allow you to specify which position the search results should be displayed in.

The “Search Results Displayed In All Posts” field will allow you to specify which posts/pages the search results should be displayed in.

The “Search Results Hidden In First Position” field will allow you to specify which position the search results should be hidden in.

Once you have entered all of the required information, click on the “Create Custom Field” button. The “Custom Fields” page will now display the newly created custom field.

You will now need to add the custom field to your post/page. To do this, click on the “Add Custom Field” button on the “Custom Fields” page, and then select the “Custom Field” option. In the “Custom Field Settings” field, you will need to enter the following information:.

The “Field Name” field will need to enter the name of the custom field.

The “Field Type” field will need to enter the “Search” option.

The “Field Settings” field will need to enter the information that was entered in the “Field Name” field, and the “Search Conditions” field.

Once you have entered all of the required information, click on the “Add Custom Field” button.
