Posted in: Newspaper

Hello,

In my main menu appears the function “Search”.

How do I:

– remove it;
and
– edit it (because it seeems that isn´t working, I mean, I write a word and the “Search” can´t find that word in my site).

Thank you.

Best regards,
Pedro Moreira

Hello PedroMiguelMoreira,

I suppose that you are referring to the Search symbol (“magnifying glass”). This kind of option is created in the header-menu.php core file. If you want to add the Search word, you have to alter the code from this file, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/Jn3vnxAlF -> http://screencast.com/t/ZIQElfNQ The search function should work fine. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. You can check this option in our demo version, here -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/

Hope this helps!

If is not what you mean, please provide more details about what you want to change so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.

Thank you for the message!

Hello,

Thanks for your message.

Infortunately, the Search is not working…

I have so many plugins installed, so I won´t follow your advice of “cleaning” the plugins. Consequently,and because the Search is not working, I´d prefer to remove the Search from the menu (in order that the user don´t go there and it doesn´t work) – how I can do that?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Pedro Moreira

Hello

Okay. If you want to remove this you have to use a bit of CSS code to hide it. Please try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.

The code is ->

.td-icon-search{
display:none!important;
}

Thanks.

Hello again!

I´ve resolved my problem, so the “Search” is working again!

However, I need another help: I´ve got the symbol “Search” in my main menu, and that is OK. But I´d like, also, that the “Search” appears in another section of the site, in order to allow that the user see this function easier. Besides, I want that this “Search” (that will appear in another part of the site) appears as that rectangule box that on his right has written “Search” (I mean, like the rectangule box that appears when an user clicks in the symbol of the “Search” in the menu) in order to be more visible.

Can you help me with this, please?

Thank you!

Best regards,
Pedro Moreira

Hello PedroMiguelMoreira,

What I want to achieve it only can be made by custom work. Please notice that the search function is hard coded with JavaScript and it is not a simple task to change the functionality for this. Please notice that if you want you can use the WP Search function and add it in your Sidebar, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/eiEoneDIi -> http://screencast.com/t/rjlTi0dbZE5
As a hint, one of our users has created such a tutorial and shared it with the community: http://www.getcooltricks.com/wordpress/google-cse-integration-to-newspaper-wordpress-theme/ You can consult this tutorial, maybe is useful for you.

I hope this helps.
Thank you!
