Search into the header

[aosipov]

Hello Nicholas Love your Semantic UI for Wordpress! Great Job! Is there anyway to add search to the header? Sorry i am currently in learning curve:) Another question: is this wordpress framework base is totally custom or you based on something? I just want to learn about it a bit. Seems like little different from other frameworks. Thanks man

Thanks, there are a few ways you can add a search bar to the header.

• The "easiest" way is to download a plugin that forces the WP Admin Bar to always be visible. The admin bar has a search field built into the right side.
• Another way is to call get_search_form() somewhere in the header. get_search_form() has been integrated with a standard Semantic UI search form.
• Finally, you can of course just hardcode a search form somewhere. I would strongly suggest using wp_integrations::search_form() as a template if you plan on hardcoding your own form. You can find that function in /includes/wp_integrations.class.php between lines 308 and 322.

To answer your other question, this theme was built totally from scratch. It is specifically designed to avoid redundant code, while not making everything completely over complicated. However, some things in the theme are inspired by other themes (and a few plugins) for WordPress; most notably Underscores and Bones. Each of these inspired ideas, was rewritten (in some cases completely redesigned) to work within this theme.

That being said, if you have a fair grasp on PHP, and read all the comments in /includes/theme.class.php, you will have a very good idea of how the theme generates each page. If you read all the comments in /includes/wp_integrations.class.php you will have a fair understanding of how things are integrated into WordPress.

I made a point to add comments throughout the theme so that the learning curve for it wouldn't be so bad, and to help avoid confusion. Beyond that, if you ever need any help, please let me know by opening up another issue on Github. I am always glad to help.

Cheers! -Nick
