Ignorning NULL search options

[toneee]

Pressing the search button in the upper right menu instantly returns search results for “”. It’s also not clear that there’s a text box to the left of the search button, which is a minor CSS issue.

1. How can we prevent/ignore “” results by highlighting the search field as a 50% white? (i.e. #main-search is required and highlights if empty upon validation)
2. Is there a way to optionally hide the search bar?
3. Is there a way to optionally search only certain post types?

 

For search bar color example:

.search-form input.header-search {background-color: #484848}

Hi,

1. There should be minimum 1 character entered in input search to can perform search, we have fixed that for the next update if you need that now tell me.

2. You can use this css

COPY CODE

.second-menu .search-form-wrapper .search-form {
    display: none !important;
}

The css will be added to wp-admin -> theme options -> quick css.

3. This can be acheived using a next code

COPY CODE

 
add_action( 'init', 'update_my_custom_type', 99 );
/*Replace my-custom-type with your custom post type slug*/
function update_my_custom_type() {
	global $wp_post_types;
	if ( post_type_exists( 'my-custom-type' ) ) {
		// exclude from search results
		$wp_post_types['my-custom-type']->exclude_from_search = true;
	}
}

NOTE : Child theme needs to be installed and activated.

The function needs to be pasted in wp-content/themes/buddyapp-child/functions.php

Cheers
