Search Shortcodes

Placing the search elements to a page via shortcodes

There are four different shortcodes available for each search instance. Each of these shortcodes can be placed into any post/page or custom post type content or into the theme files.

Search box shortcode

This is the most used, all-around shortcode. It places the search form anywhere on your site. This is the shortcode you are looking for in most cases.

Format:

[wd_asp id=1]

Parameters:

  • id (integer) - the id of the search instance

Settings shortcode (advanced use)

Shortcodes for placing the settings box elsewhere, but on the same page where the search shortcode is.

Format:

[wd_asp_settings id=1 element='div']

Parameters:

  • id (integer) - the id of the search instance

Results shortcode (advanced use)

Shortcodes for placing the results box elsewhere, but on the same page where the search shortcode is.

Format:

[wd_asp_results id=1 element='div']

Parameters:

  • id (integer) - the id of the search instance

Two column shortcode (optional)

Will place a search box (left) and a result box (right) next to each other, like the one on the demo front page.

Format:

[wd_asp_two_column id=1 search_width=50 results_width=50 invert=0 element='div']

Parameters:

  • id (integer) - the id of the search instance

  • search_width - (integer) the search bar width (in %, not px)

  • results_width - (integer) the results box width (in %, not px)

  • invert - (0 or 1) inverts the search and results box position from left to right
