I have a portfolio page with the portfolio-items displayed on four columns : http://wp.mof69.fr/annuaire-des-mof-du-rhone/

I also have a custom sidebar with a few custom taxonomies to search through (the category filtering didn’t suit my needs).

For now, when I perform a search, I get something like the default blog index page: http://wp.mof69.fr/bienetrebeaute/esthetique/?post_types=x-portfolio

Is it possible to display a search results page like the portfolio page is set up and displayed (masonry-like, number of columns, number of items)? And additionally, to keep the custom sidebar of the portfolio page in the search results page?

Cheers,
Daniel

Search page doesn’t have page template .It get the blog page style.
You can use CSS below to change the number items per row ,but it won’t be masonry exactly.
Please add the following CSS code under Customize -> Custom -> CSS:

@media (min-width:979px){
.search-results article {
width: 24.95%;
padding: 0 1em 2em !important;
float: left;
}
.search-results .entry-wrap {
width: 100% !important;
padding-left: 0 !important;
}
.search-results .entry-content.excerpt {
display: none;
}
.search-results h2.entry-title {
font-size: 90%;
}
}

Hope it helps.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I tried your code but there were some display issues with my stack (Ethos).
Anyway, I found that if I select Masonry style for the Archives page in Customizer > Blog, my search page for the portfolio items inherits that setting. So I’m half happy.

But it would be GREAT if there was a way to override the number of items displayed in that search page…

Thank you for writing in!

You can change the number of posts/items displayed in the search page by going into General > Reading and change the number under Blog pages show at most to your desired value (see: http://prntscr.com/5c64xk).

Hope this helps. 🙂

Thank you.

That’s precisely the default behavior I’d like to override: I want the index page to display 5 blog posts while the search page shows 20 results, for example.

Did you change the Blog pages show at most to 5? This will display 5 posts per page.

can you try adding this code below,

function cmk_custom_mod( $wp_query ) {
	$post_type = $wp_query->query['post_type'];
	if ( $post_type == 'x-portfolio' && is_search() ) {
		$wp_query->set('posts_per_page', '25');
    }
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'cmk_custom_mod');

or this one

function cmk_post_result_limits( $limit, $query ) {

	if ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_search() ) {
		return 'LIMIT 0, 25';
	}
	return $limit;
}
add_filter( 'post_limits', 'cmk_post_result_limits', 10, 2 );

Hope that helps,
Cheers

I’m sorry, but where do I have add this code exactly? In x-child-ethos/functions.php?

Cheers,
Daniel

Sorry for not being specific,
