WordPress Plugin 1.0.25: Search Page Now Lives Inside Your Own Theme

Opensolr Search 1.0.25 stops rendering search on a standalone, theme-less screen. /opensolr-search/ is now an ordinary WordPress page, so your header, navigation and footer wrap the results like every other page on the site.

01 A real WordPress page, not a separate screen

The search results used to appear on their own screen, outside the theme. Visitors landed somewhere that did not look like the rest of the site, with no navigation to get back.

02 Because it is a page, you can move it

Being a real page means the usual WordPress controls apply to it:

• Rename it. Give it whatever title suits your site.
• Change its URL. It does not have to stay at /opensolr-search/.
• Add it to your menus. It behaves like any other menu entry.
• Put search anywhere else. Drop the [opensolr_search] shortcode on any other page and the search form, facets, sorting and pagination all follow it there.

The page title above the search box has been removed and the spacing tightened, so results start directly under your header rather than after a block of empty space.

03 Pagination and shortcode styling fixed

• Pagination works again. Paging through results no longer stops working on the search page.
• The shortcode brings its assets. [opensolr_search] now loads its styles and scripts wherever you place it, instead of rendering unstyled on pages that had not loaded them.
• The search page stays out of your own results. It is kept out of the sitemap and out of indexing, so it can no longer appear as a result inside its own result list.

04 Verified against WordPress 7.1

Opensolr Search is tested and marked compatible with WordPress 7.1 (due 19 August 2026), including the iframed block editor and the new client-side media processing. No action is needed on your side.
