Hey I’m having trouble with my search results. The first issue that I’m having has to do with the ‘nothing to show right now’ page, which pops up every time a search has no results. The issue (as you’ll see in screenshot 1), is that it doesn’t apply the same customization that’s being used on my other search results pages, which was personalized using CSS. So the first thing I’m trying to do is find a way to make my ‘nothing to show right now’ page look just like the other search pages, be it by adding more CSS or by some other method.

Then the second issue has to do with my revolution sliders showing up in my search results. I searched the forum and saw that it might have something to do with custom blog excerpts, but I’m not sure how to turn that off, and I’m also not even sure if I read that correctly.

Please advise and thanks in advance.

Hi Eric,

It’s designed to display that page when the search result is empty. Though, I’m not really sure how your other result page looks like, are they different from X theme? Would you mind providing the URL or screenshots of what the other search result pages?

You may need to create a search template if you wish to include your specific search result. Right now, search result falls back to index template instead of another search template.

Thanks!

Well screenshot 1 shows you what happens when a search result is successful (which is a result of the customizations that were made via the codes that I listed above. And then in screenshot 2 you’ll see what happens when the search result is empty. So basically my goal is to make empty searches appear like screenshot 1.

If the way to achieve that is by creating a search template, please advise me on how to do that.

Thanks!

Hi Eric,

Please change your code to this.

/* SET A BACKGROUND IMAGE TO THE SEARCH RESULTS SIDEBAR */
body.search.search-results,
body.search.search-no-results {
    background: #e4e4e4 url(http://i.imgur.com/mtv4deu.png) center top repeat;
}

/* SEARCH RESULTS BACKGROUND IMAGE */
body.search.search-results .x-container.main:before,
body.search.search-no-results .x-container.main:before {
    background: white
    url(http://i.imgur.com/V7WzDqs.png) center top repeat;
}

/* BLACK NAVBAR FOR THE SEARCH RESULTS PAGES */
body.search.search-results .x-navbar-inner,
body.search.search-no-results .x-navbar-inner{
    background: black;
}

/* WHITE FONT ON MY SEARCH RESULTS PAGE */
body.search.search-results p,
body.search.search-no-results p{
    color:white;
}

/* SEARCH RESULTS EXCERPT FONT SIZE */
body.search.search-results .entry-content.excerpt,
body.search.search-no-results .entry-content.excerpt{
    font-size: 14px !important;
}

/* SEARCH RESULTS HEADER */
body.search.search-results header.masthead.masthead-stacked,
body.search.search-no-results header.masthead.masthead-stacked {
    background-color: transparent;
    background-image: url(http://i.imgur.com/PYfUCTq.jpg);
}

/* FIXING THE SEARCH RESULTS WALLPAPER */
body.search.search-results .x-container.max.width.main,
body.search.search-no-results .x-container.max.width.main {
    padding-top: 35px;
}

body.search.search-results .x-header-landmark,
body.search.search-no-results .x-header-landmark {
    display: none;
}

Hope that helps

Thanks a lot! Now any idea on how to stop my revolution sliders from showing up in my search results? I looked into it a bit more and from what I’ve gathered it certainly seems to be related to my blog excerpts, but nothing I’ve tried as of yet has worked.

Please advise, and thanks again for all your help!

Hi Eric,

I don’t see any slider on your search result page. A visual guide is helpful to get to the right direction.

Please check the attached screenshot.

Thanks!

[Eric]

Sorry the sliders only appear on pages with specific keywords. For example if you search ‘ghost’, it pulls up the slider from the ghostwriting tab as you can see in the attached screenshot.

Let me know what you think.

Hi there,

Ah, it’s from here http://ghostswithtypewriters.com/gw/, it inherits the first result since query is global.

Please add this CSS to Admin > Appearance > Customizer > Custom > CSS

.search-results .x-slider-container{
display: none;
}

Thanks!

[Eric]

Thanks Rad! That fixed it

We’re delighted to assist you with this.

Cheers!
