Search Bar

Home Page General

Go to Pages > All Pages > Homepage. Click to Edit it.

  • Look at the WordPress Settings – click the Gear icon – in the upper right.
  • Click Document (not Block) just below the Gear icon.
  • Near the bottom is Page Attributes and Template. The template selected should already be “No Sidebar Wide.”
    • This template is best to use when you want to use a full-width content on a page, but you can choose other templates, if you like.

Before Adding the Search Bar Section

  1. You will want to get an IDX Broker account before connecting your Search Bar.
  2. You will also want to set up the IMPress for IDX Broker plugin before connecting your Search Bar.

To Edit the Search Bar

Note that if you lose the Cover Block and Search Bar, you can add it from the Block Patterns:

  • Cover Image – Text – IDX Broker Search

The IDX Broker Search Bar is inside a Group Block. (Review WordPress Blocks, but there is no tutorial on Group Block yet.)

Group Block Settings:

  • At the top:
    • Alignment is Wide Width
  • In the sidebar:
    • In Advanced > Additional CSS class(es) 
    • Add search-bar

  • Paragraph Block
  • IMPress Omnibar Search Block - see image below
    • In the sidebar:
      • Default Styles? - Checked
      • Extra Fields? - Checked
      • Included Min Price? - Checked
