Search the Community

I am running my Word Press blog with Pagelines Platform Free Version and have encountered some difficulties in customizing my home page and the search results page.   By default, Platform shows 30 most recent posts in the first page of the home page and 30 search results as well in the first page of search results.   However, the page is too long and I would like to cut the page to only showing 10 results / posts per page.   There isn't a home.php for me to edit and I have found postloop.php but no luck.   Does anyone knows how to customize the home page and search results page?   Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I'm currently using Crackbar for my fixed navbar, and full-width sidebar for an additional text area beneath my footer (Footer Column Sidebars). What I need to do is create an area under Crackbar that can include a search function (preferably just the search widget, not a plugin), and other uses, including maybe a slider or image/logo. Point is, I'm not sure what to use now that Full Width Sidebar has been used. When I click Drag & Drop / Header, there's nothing to choose from that would allow any of the above. Any ideas? Maybe a Section that I don't see in the Store? Thanks for your time.

Hi guys. Idea for all you super devs. I can NOT be the only person who needs a search. I ended up w a small widget called "Taxonomy Filter Widget" after searching for weeks. It's not much, but it's all I could find. So, researching pulls up that I'm looking for Multiple Drop downs for Custom Taxonomies, search and filter custom taxonomies, build custom queries using dropdowns of cats and custom taxonomies....phew. Eg., "Find a Restaurant' and then drill down by 'Cuisine', 'Neighborhood", etc. Look on the left on this guy's Wordpress site: http://www.freewilliamsburg.com/ It seems that there are lots of these for Realtors. Anyway, I bet they'd fly out the door. Thanks.

Our search box hasn't been working since we launched the site 6 months ago and I can't figure out how to fix it. is the search box on the top right corner able to be fixed somewhere in the code? If not, can it be removed? You can see the box here: www.inspiredeats.net

In short, if I want to find anything in this forum I have to go search via Google. Using the internal search tends to generate no results. If I go search on Google I generally find what I'm looking for, using the same search terms.

I didn't see how I can disable search within the framework. I want to use Google CSE. Thanks!

I noticed that the Pagelines search only shows results for content published in a standard post or page. However, I am creating a site layout that heavily uses sections and other post types including Banners, Boxes, Highlights, Hero Units, and ContentBox. None of the content published in these are being found via the search. This is a HUGE problem! The ideal result should be that if any given Page displays content from a Box, ContentBox, etc., that the Search should show this Page (not just the Box, etc) in the results. Can anyone help out with a solution?

Hi PageLines, I'm a longtime user of PlatformPro 1.5.3 and I'm really frustrated with a website I'm making for one of my projects. Here's the link as it stands now: http://1.unocrea.cl/1/ I want to get rid of the search bar in the nav and I can't figure out how to do it. Can you help? Thank you! Leslie

The default icon that is used for the background in the search box is resized by css. But it does not work in IE8 (it stays the original size). Of course I can make a fix with a smaller image and a stylesheet change. But it would be more practical that is be done in the default framework. Can that be done?

Hello everybody, I'm building a new site with Pagelines and would request special assistance. Well, I want to offer a customized search engine on my new site, as this will be an advertising site, where I have registered several companies from various sectors. So, I want to allow users have a filter the search by category. Example: I will create several categories that will be the States of my Country and sub​​-categories that are the Cities of each state. So, I want that the user can choose which place he wants to search. Well, I searched few plugins they can offer this, but not found. In this case, only the search form, more two 'Select'. Being one for category and another for sub-category that appears when the user selects a category. Well, here's an example of what I want: If someone can give me a hint how I can do this, I'll be very happy and grateful. Or, if you know a plugin that has this functionality, even better! The search system WordPress is very simple! Well they could offer something more sophisticated! Thank you!

Hello ! Very nice new forum. Looks great But Where are all the great topics. When i click search "align center" there are only 3 topics. But i know there must be over 100.. So where do I find all the great questions and answers. Without having to ask them again.

How can I change the search bar color and focus color to be different than the page background color scheme that I have selected? I have a dark brown as my page background color, but it makes the search bar dark as well which drowns out the search text. http://couturevilletest.tk421grafix.com/wordpress/
