Hi again,

You’ll need to set the layout of the search results page through a custom PHP snippet. You’ll want to add the following into an MU plugin that you create, that allows you to override certain aspects of the Primer theme. You can follow along with our documentation we have setup: https://godaddy.github.io/wp-primer-theme/tutorials-and-examples/tutorials/mu-plugin.html

Once you have the MU plugin setup, you can add the code I’ve provided below to it, and the search results page should then display in the three column layout you are after.

/**
 * Set the search results page to three column
 *
 * @return string
 */
function primer_search_three_column( $layout ) {

	if ( ! is_search() ) {

		return $layout;

	}

	return 'three-column-center';

}
add_filter( 'primer_current_layout', 'primer_search_three_column' );

Let us know if that helps, or if you need additional assistance!

Yes that worked. While working with the search results page however, I noticed that the tab in Chrome for the page says “You searched for ‘x’.” Is there a way that I can change that to “Search results for ‘x’?” Thanks.
