Newbie question: where do I have to add the shortcode?

When I go into my themes templates tehre are two search related templates: Search form and Search results.
Should I add this shortcode in there?
This is the search results:
<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”primary” class=”content-area search-results”>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>
<div class=”row”>
<div class=”large-9 large-centered columns”>

<header class=”page-header”>
<h1 class=”page-title search-results-title”><span class=”top-page-excerpt”><?php printf( __( ‘Search Results for %s’, ‘shopkeeper’ ), ‘<span class=”page-title”>’ . get_search_query() . ‘</span>’ ); ?></span></h1>
</header><!– .page-header –>

</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( (isset($shopkeeper_theme_options[‘sidebar_blog_listing’])) && ($shopkeeper_theme_options[‘sidebar_blog_listing’] == “1” ) ) : ?>
<div class=”row”><div class=”large-9 columns with-sidebar”>
<?php endif; ?>

<div id=”content” class=”site-content” role=”main”>

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

<div class=”row”>
<div class=”large-9 large-centered columns”>

<?php /* Start the Loop */ ?>
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php
/* Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content.
* If you want to override this in a child theme, then include a file
* called content-___.php (where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead.
*/
?>

<div class=”search_result_item”>

<h1 class=”entry-title-archive”>
” class=”thumbnail_archive”>
<span><?php the_title(); ?></span>

</h1>

<div class=”post_meta_archive”><?php shopkeeper_entry_archives(); ?></div>

</div><!–.search_content–>

<?php
//get_template_part( ‘content’, get_post_format() );
?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

<?php shopkeeper_content_nav( ‘nav-below’ ); ?>

</div><!– .columns –>
</div><!– .row –>

<?php else : ?>

<?php get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘none’ ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

</div><!– #content –>

<?php if ( (isset($shopkeeper_theme_options[‘sidebar_blog_listing’])) && ($shopkeeper_theme_options[‘sidebar_blog_listing’] == “1” ) ) : ?>
</div><!– .columns –>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( (isset($shopkeeper_theme_options[‘sidebar_blog_listing’])) && ($shopkeeper_theme_options[‘sidebar_blog_listing’] == “1” ) ) : ?>
<div class=”large-3 columns”>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div><!– .columns –>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( (isset($shopkeeper_theme_options[‘sidebar_blog_listing’])) && ($shopkeeper_theme_options[‘sidebar_blog_listing’] == “1” ) ) : ?>
</div><!– .row –>
<?php endif; ?>

</div><!– #primary –>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

And This is the Search Form:

<form role=”search” method=”get” class=”search-form” action=”<?php echo esc_url( home_url( ‘/’ ) ); ?>”>
<label class=”screen-reader-text” for=”s”><?php _e( ‘Search for:’, ‘shopkeeper’ ); ?></label>
<input type=”search” class=”search-field” placeholder=”<?php _e( ‘Search …’, ‘shopkeeper’ ); ?>” value=”<?php echo esc_attr( get_search_query() ); ?>” name=”s”>
<input type=”submit” class=”search-submit” value=”<?php _e( ‘Search’, ‘shopkeeper’ ); ?>”>
</form>

Thanks

Hi,

You need to add shortcode to search form template.

Replace all it content with

echo do_shortcode( ‘[aws_search_form]’ );

Hello ILLID,

Please is there a way to display the search along side my menu items or anywhere in the header part of a website.. the plugin is exactly what I’ve been looking for and that seem to be my only problem. Thanks.

Hello,

Yes, it is possible you can use php function

echo do_shortcode( ‘[aws_search_form]’ );

to place search form anywhere you want.

Or you can use build-in AWS widget ( if you have in your theme widget area where you want to place search form ).
