Hidden Drop Search form

  • I’m currently developing a local environment website and I’m using this demo to create a custom search style. I’m having issues though with it not searching and when I put in the search form it creates its own search bar. Right now I type something into the search and no action occurs.

  • The heart of the WordPress search system uses this type of code…

    
<form method="get" class="searchform" action="https://yourdomain.com/">
<input type="search" class="field" name="s" placeholder="Search">
<button type="submit" class="searchform-submit">
<span class="fa fa-search" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="screen-reader-text">Submit</span>
</button>
</form>

    Every theme has an example of this, you might want to look at a few themes and see how it is implemented and take that and insert it into your theme.

    You may also want to take a look at this Codex entry.

    Good luck with your project.

    Hey, Bob. I’m creating a child theme of an established theme that has the searchform.php, so I’m good there. I just want the actual search function to work and I’m not completely sure how to do so.
