I have created a search view to display my Search Results. I wish to use that view in wordpress Search Results page.
Can I set my view page as the Search result page? Or at least include it in the Search Result page, and how?

link to site : hidden link
link to the current search result page : hidden link
link to the view page I created for search results : hidden link (also I dont understand why there are individual search bars not formatted on top)

Thank you

Hi Camila,

Thank you for getting in touch.

This is quite possible if you create a custom archive. The wordpress default search results page is a filtered archive, so if you go to Toolset -> WordPress Archives and create a custom archive you should be able to assign this archive to the wordpress search results page.

This will allow you to customize how your search results are being displayed.

Thanks,
Shane

Can I integrate the view I created directly inside this wordpress archive so I dont have to do the work again from start?

Hi Camila,

Actually no because the view wouldn't recognize the search parameter that is in the URL. Currently the wordpress default parameter is "s" when performing the search .

Essentially you will need to rebuild your view in the archive.

Thanks,
