Search Bar Form to Auto Load Results on New Web Page?

    Hi Guys,

    I’m a first time poster, I absolutely LOVE Forminator, so much so that I’ve removed all my other form generators! I’m awfully sorry to bother you like this, particularly if I’m doing this the wrong way.. I’m not really sure! ??

    On my small live bands agency homepage, just below my main slider photo, I’ve just added a quick 4-element single line search function – I hoped I could do it with my Forminator plugin, so this is what I have on the site so far. It has three main categories – ‘event type’, ‘event date’, and ‘event location’, and then just the ‘search now’ button on the right hand end making up the four (hopefully on the right end anyway – I haven’t figured out how to put it at the right side yet – it’s just stuck below on the left!).. Anyway, I just need a person to be able to input their three bits, and then when they hit ‘search now’, it just takes them to one of the 4 specific categories pages I use (as per their event type selected), so they can see the basic list of bands presented to them for the event type they selected (from my four wedding, corporate event, university event or private party pages).

    At this point, I seem to only be able to make the new search results page load to one category page only (currently just the wedding bands page, regardless of what category they select, as I can only find a way to add that one new url address). Is there a way to make the search results page present, to match the event type they selected? If so, ideally it would also be good if the page dropped down to the spot where the actual band listings start, rather than the blurb above all the bands?

    Anyway, any help or advice would be wonderful.. again, I’m sorry for the trouble. ??

    Many Thanks,
    Stu

    Hi @stumur,

    I’m looking at your page but I’m afraid that I’m not able to understand what exactly the issue is here, would you mind grabbing some screenshots of the form that doesn’t look good and the one that is so we can better understand this?

    Cheers,

    Hey Predrag. Thanks so much. Not sure why your reply seems to be based on my initial post from months ago.. it was meant to be in relation to the post only a few days ago, at the end of ‘page 2’.. Anyhoo, here’s the text from it:

    Guys, could you pls let me know what I’m doing wrong with the search form I have sitting in my top slider area over the photo? I can’t get it to go horizontally across the image, like the other form below it does. I don’t know why, as they’re the same exact form, just duplicated and with a different file shortcode.. otherwise identical. https://thelivemusicagency.affordaband.co.uk/

    Thanks so much,
    Stu

    Hi @stumur

    Let me check if we are on the same page.

    Had you duplicated the form and would like to apply the same style that we provided?

    if so, That CSS won’t work for duplicated forms, you can see there is an ID, for example:

    #forminator-module-11519

    If you are looking to apply the same CSS for other forms, you can duplicate it and use the new form ID:

    #forminator-module-ID-HERE

    Or remove the “#forminator-module-11519” and add the CSS on Forminator > Form > Apperarance > Custom CSS.

    Remember to take a full backup.

    Let us know if it is the issue or we are missing anything.

    Best Regards

    We haven’t heard from you for some time so we will mark this as resolved, if you have any followup questions you can of course reopen it.

    Cheers,
