Hello, I have my site set up with the Divi Theme. Default Language is german and I want to translate to english. I created a seperate search results page in english with the Theme Builder and when I use the standard WP Search fields in the widgets and mainmenu it works fine. However, when I enter a searchterm in the divi - search field, when searching on the english version, then the german results page pops up, thus the redirect seems to be flawed. I did a bit of research online and it seems that I have to manipulate the code of the divi search fields. However, I am not so experienced and I am worried that it goes wrong. Could you please give me clear instructions which files I have to manipulate with which code to make it work?! I have a divi search field on my homepage and another one on the search results page, build with the Theme Builder. Thanks for your help in advance. Regards |

Hi there. I'm not sure if this is related to the same issue reported here (https://wpml.org/forums/topic/search-results-not-in-the-correct-language-2/). Take a look there and see if that solution resolves your problem. Let me know how that goes. Kind regards, |

Hello Mihai, yes, this seems to be the same issue. I understand that I have to create a child theme. I wanted to do this anyway. However, my problem now is that I am not experienced in manipulating files. I already had a look in my FTP but I have no idea in which files I have to look to find the code for the search forms to be altered. As I mentioned before, there is one on my startpage and one on the search results page, build with the Theme Customizer. Can you tell me where I find the code (which files in FTP) in which I have to enter the code line? Thanks and Regards |

Hi there. I think you should find the search code somewhere inside this file: Go to your FTP > wp-content > themes > Divi > header.php. Please let me know if you found it. Also, here you can find more about how you can create a simple Divi child theme: Kind regards, |

Thanks, I already found another good solution now. Since the Worspress-Search is working fine. I just turned all my search forms to WordPress Search with help of this page: hidden link This works well for me. Thus the issue is resolved. Regards |
