I would like to show my search results in the way I show my wp show posts category pages. Can I create a search results page with wp show posts? At the moment search results display a little ugly.

Hi there,

This may be possible with some custom PHP.

Just to confirm, are you using GeneratePress?

We could try something like this:

First, upload the dev version of WPSP: https://wpshowposts.com/wp-show-posts-1-2-0/

Then, add this PHP:
```
add_action( 'generate_before_main_content', function() {
    if ( is_search() ) {
        wpsp_display( 123 );
    }
} );

add_filter( 'wpsp_query_args', function( $query, $settings ) {
    if ( 123 === (int) $settings['list_id'] ) {
        $query->set( 's', esc_html( $_GET['s'] ) );
    }

    return $query;
} );

add_filter( 'generate_has_default_loop', function( $has_loop ) {
    if ( is_search() ) {
        return false;
    }

    return $has_loop;
} );
```
Then just update 123 with the ID of your list.

Not 100% sure it will work, but worth a try.

Hi, not working for me, on GeneratePress (not premium). I am trying to insert this with code snippets plugin and i see this message

Don’t Panic

The code snippet you are trying to save produced a fatal error on line 9:
syntax error, unexpected ‘;’, expecting ‘)’

The previous version of the snippet is unchanged, and the rest of this site should be functioning normally as before.

Please use the back button in your browser to return to the previous page and try to fix the code error. If you prefer, you can close this page and discard the changes you just made. No changes will be made to this site.

I could “rapair” this issue with this change in the code but the web displays broken.
```
add_action( 'generate_before_main_content', function() {
    if ( is_search() ) {
        wpsp_display( 2232 );
    }
} );

add_filter( 'wpsp_query_args', function( $query, $settings ) {
    if ( 2232 === (int) $settings['list_id'] ) {
        $query->set( 's', esc_html( $_GET['s'] ))
					;}

    return $query;
} );

add_filter( 'generate_has_default_loop', function( $has_loop ) {
    if ( is_search() ) {
        return false;
    }

    return $has_loop;
} );
```
