Is it possible to place the main website search bar at the top of every page on my site, underneath the menu?

Hi Michael,

You can use shortcodes to display the search form, check out this section of the documentation https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/core-shortcodes/#search .

Thanks!

Hi Kor,

How would I add the shortcode to show on every page? On my site http://ghosthuntadvisor.com/ I want the search bar if possible to be under where my logo is, but to expand across both of those columns shown. Not just in the left column where it currently is.

Thanks

Hi,

you will need to modify a theme template to achieve that. if you provide admin credentials in a private reply we point you in the right direction.

Thanks

Hi Michael,

You can use the code below to display it in the header.php file of your theme. Insert below the navigation menu as you requested. Let us know how it goes.
```
<?php echo do_shortcode("[gd_advanced_search show_adv_search='always']"); ?>
```
Thanks!

Hi Michael, I have added the search form as you asked.

Don’t uninstall “Code Snippets” plugin.

This is the code I added
```
add_action('dt_after_header', 'dt_custom_after_header');
function dt_custom_after_header() {
	echo do_shortcode("[gd_advanced_search]");
}
```

Hi

Is it possible to set the width to the same as the content? I think GD sets this as 1160px.

Many thanks

Hi,

I changed the code provided by Giri with this:
```
add_action('dt_after_header', 'dt_custom_after_header');
function dt_custom_after_header() {
	echo '<div class="container">'.do_shortcode("[gd_advanced_search]").'</div>';
}
```
Please check now.

Thanks
