    When I enter text in the search field (located in the sidebar), it also appears in the search field (located in the header), and vice versa?? Why?? Is there any way to just have the text show up in one widget area and not both?

    thanks

  • Hi @rumraisingelato,

    This is happening when the search form is submitted because WordPress uses the “s” name for search fields- they all autopopulate if the value is passed in the query string (i.e., https://fromirietoitaly.com/?s=test). Unfortunately this is probably one that would require modification that would be pretty involved…I sure am sorry.

    Let me know if you have any additional questions (or ideas) about this! ??

    Hello –

    This is the other forum post where the link to my website is part of the message instead of the custom field for my post (where only logged-in users can see it) – see earlier response from Steven (LyraThemes). I only realized this now as I was running a Google search on my website, and the forum post popped up. Is there any way to move the link from where it is now, to the custom field where it belongs?

    Hoping that this can be done.

    Thanks so much

    I’m sorry, but that is only done in extreme cases.

    Search engine hits are never considered extreme. The post will not be edited or deleted.

    @jdembowski, obviously we respect you and your decision as a moderator, but is there any chance you would reconsider given the fact that this is a case of someone else (me, unfortunately) posting the OP’s site URL here without their permission?

    I’m sorry but no.

    Understood. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
