Search results page shows 404 error

    Hi,

    Using ASL, it looks great and appears to function until the magnifying glass icon is clicked or I press return. When I press return or click the magnifying glass I wanted to redirect to a custom search results page: results?s={phrase}

    However this does not work and instead shows the 404 page. I also have the search shortcode on the 404 page, but that just produces a circular error and shows the same page.

    How is it possible to redirect to a different page that has the search results listed? I have not been able to make it happen yet and any help is appreciated.

    Many thanks,

    Anthony

    Hi,

    The search results page is handled by WordPress by default. That option is to change the URL where the plugin redirects, in case you have a custom restults page URL. It will not change the results page URL, for that you need either custom mod_rewrite rules or a different approach. Here is a tutorial, which may help you with that.

    Once you have a solution implemented to handle the search results on a different URL, then you can change that option to make sure the plugin redirects to that as well.
