Change post result style per page

  • I have a search plugin that lists all post results on a page I specify, however, the theme has a weird way of showing post results which is in these cool circle styles. It is creative for the homepage, however, I just want to have the search results show up in a regular list (title, excerpt, author, date, all in lines like google search results).

    All I want to know is, how can I create a custom template page which shows the posts in a list but only if the search results are on that page template? Sort of like an “if this page then show results like this, else, show results by theme default listing style.”

    Hope someone can help me! Thanks ??

    You can change the look of your website with your theme’s stylesheet style.css. Can we have a link to your site?

    https://bit.ly/PcAqBw This is the site which shows how posts are shows on the front page.

    Here is where you can search through posts https://bit.ly/M7gEVq just click jobs and start checking off checkboxes then press search. Notice how they all show up in circles like on the homepage? I have control over which page template the search results uses, I just want to know how to make it show them in a list rather than in circles.

    Can anyone please help me figure this out? I just want the basic style posts for the search results.

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    WordPress template hierarchy will look for a search.php first then fall through to index.php

    To achive what you want in a theme we would create a file called search.php with the layout we wanted!

    As it is not a normal theme is there a way just to set the search page results to default to the detailed view?
