How to add it on the wordpress theme? am i going to add it on the function.php? how?
Hello @galengidman
Your solutions working perfect thanks.
How the Wordpress search form submission works. What is the method in the form tag of the search form ? is it must be get method ?
@junaidtk Yes, it must be a ?s=[search query] GET request to the root of the site.
I am using the woo-commerce plugin. On my product page, I am using the additional product field with name S. so if we are submitting the add to cart form, it goes to the 404 pages. I hope it is submitting the search form due to the name of the field S.
If we change the field name to any other value, it is working fine and doesn't go to the 404.
The attached is the screenshot after clicking the add to cart button while placing the name as S
@junaidtk That's probably the issue. I would see if I could change name value on the product field.
@galengidman, Thanks for the update. We can add the additional fields in add to cart form of product page by using the hooks available in the add to cart form. Also I am still checking the ways to solve this.
Thanks @galengidman, its work for me!
