    Trying to use Post Grid for search results. When I use the WP Search it goes to a search page using Post Grid. However, Post Grid is searching for something and failing *before* it draws the search box. The search box is then present with the search term. But then you have to click in the search box and enter to perform the search you wanted in the first place.

    Is it possible to not search until it gets the phrase? Is it also possible to have it search after getting the whole phrase rather than search with four characters.

    Can I give the Search Parameter (in Query Post) a variable that will help? What is that expecting?

    HELP.

    Thanks. ??

    Thanks for your post,

    i am not sure how you tried the post grid on search. you will need to put post grid shortcode under search.php file to take search on page load when someone hit search input field and come to search page, i guess the link you send it custom search page. that’s why it can’t take the search keyword. you don’t need to display search input field that come with post grid, although you can.

    Please see the demo here

    for taking complete “phrase” search you will need to customize the js code. if you are using premium version please see the file post-grid\assets\frontend\js\scripts.js
    please see the screenshot

    I did put post grid shortcode in the search.php file following the example on your support documents. And when someone uses the WP search widget it does go to the page. There wasn’t a search.php initially. But I made one from our index.php. It does take the search term. This is very odd.

    Can you please check is this default search widget or custom search widget? if custom please try default search widget.

    I had the post grid set up incorrectly. It’s working as expected now *except* I can’t get pagination. Pagination works from hte default WP search box, but goes away for the post grid search. I’d like not to show all results as it takes a little time to load. Can I get the post grid search to paginate results?

    I’ve switched to embedding the WP search box on the results page. So no response necessary!
