Change default search to Ajax Search Pro (X Theme)

Hi, I would like to change the default search to Ajax Search Pro. There are several old instructions (2016-2019) but nothings works. I already use X as a child theme. Can you tell me which file I need to edit (or create) in which folder and what should be the content? Kindly regards, Ralph

I’ll put the data to access into the secure note and ask for your help.

Kindly regards,
Ralph

Please provide access to this authentication prompt.

Thanks.

I put it in the secure note as .htaccess login.

Hello Ralph,

Are you referring to this Search Icon?

That is using a search form that is hard coded for the navbar. You will need this override code to be able to modify the searchform:

// Navbar Searchform Popup
// =============================================================================

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_navbar_searchform_overlay' ) ) :
  function x_navbar_searchform_overlay() {

    if ( x_get_option( 'x_header_search_enable' ) == '1' ) :

      ?>

      <div class="x-searchform-overlay">
        <div class="x-searchform-overlay-inner">
          <div class="x-container max width">
            <form method="get" id="searchform" class="form-search center-text" action="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>">
              <label for="s" class="cfc-h-tx tt-upper"><?php _e( 'Type and Press &ldquo;enter&rdquo; to Search', '__x__' ); ?></label>
              <input type="text" id="s" class="search-query cfc-h-tx center-text tt-upper" name="s">
               <?php do_action( 'wpml_add_language_form_field' ) ?>
            </form>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>

      <?php

    endif;

  }
  add_action( 'x_before_site_end', 'x_navbar_searchform_overlay' );
endif;
