    Nice article, there is a mistake on the first line, it should be search-artwork.php for the template part otherwise it wont load when called.

    1. Thanks Sebastien, I\’ve updated the post to reflect this. Since I build on Hybrid Core, the modified template hierarchy requires the naming convention that I used. It would probably be better to write the tip from the point of view of non-Hybrid Core users, but I\’ve used it for so long that I sometimes can\’t separate it from standard WordPress development.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the tip. How can I create a page that will show the search bar and query a custom post type I created?

    Your article is excellent but it search only one field. I want to search 2 field of a post type how can i do?

    1. Can you elaborate Chinmay? Not sure what you mean by searching \’2 field of a post type.\’

    I also had chest and coronary heart problems, and I used
    to be highly careworn. I consulted many docs from Taiwan and
    USA.

    1. If you were highly careworn at one point I’m truly sorry to hear that.

    No matter if some one searches for his essential thing, thus he/she desires to be available that in detail,
    thus that thing iis maintained over here.

    1. Might be the most unintelligible thing I\’ve ever heard.

  10. No it doesn\’t. What are you talking about? Did you even read the article?

    Great stuff Bryan! Sadly, im having a bad case of “The n00bs” right now, haha.

    I’d love a custom search form with this post type: wprss_feed_item. So, using the code from your tutorial, would i simply do the following?

    Create a new template file and throw it under my theme directory? (correct me if im wrong about this location)
    Paste your code almost word-for-word, replacing only value=artworks with wprss_feed_item?

    And finally the most important part is to display said form in a widget (either as a proprietary widget or through a shortcode)

    I feel like i ALMOST have it working, but….it just wont work.
    Enjoy your week!
