Search Results Page

[janetvida]

I am using Elanzalite for my blog with a magazine template home page. I have added the search widget to the side bar. When you use this, the search results page which results has a very strange layout (eg. https://firsteffect.com/?s=piste+maps) - am I doing something wrong? I'd like it to display like a category page (eg. https://firsteffect.com/skiing/ski-resort-life/). Any suggestions?

Hello there,

Please deactivate all plugins third party plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
I hope it will work.

Kind Regards

No didn't work. I deactivated all 14 plugins. Search results page still looked the same. What next? Thanks.

Attached is the custom css I have added. I have to confess I don't really know too much about what I am doing.
The bottom two entries I made recently to .page-content and #page were my solution to moving the content of my posts listing page (https://firsteffect.com/post-listing/) and all standard pages (eg. https://firsteffect.com/about-first-effect/) down so that they weren't behind the header.

Hello there,

Can you please remove all that css and then check your page. If this resolves the issue then you have to check the culprit code and change with correct code.

Kind Regards

Done. However, it didn't make any difference to the search results page. Attached are the screen shots with and without the custom css.
Thanks

You are looking at the wrong page. 'Pages' are fine. It is the template being used by the search results page which is faulty. If you search for say 'skiing' in the search field in the left side panel you'll see what I mean. Thanks. J

Hello there,

Use this code in Additional CSS "Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS"

.search #page .content, .search #page .sidebar-wrapper {
background:#fff;
margin-top:20%;
}
.search #page .content #main .post-img{
text-align:center;
}

This will help you.

Kind Regards

Yep, that seems to work. Many, many thanks
