Hello,

 

is it possible to display the simplepress search field  on other wp sites f.e. in my nav bar instead of the standart wp:search field! 

Thx for your help ;)

other wp sites?  no, it must be used on the same site wp and the forum is installed on...

if you really just meant you want to change the location within the site, then you should try our blog search plugin which includes a search widget...  it does allow for searching the blog and the forum though...

Hi ,

thx 4 your fast response ;)

Right i want to use the simplepress search field on my Wordpress Theme (The WP where i've installed SP). 

I want to remove the WP search and replace it with the sp search. The blogsearch-plugin is already installed. 

But i dont know how i can place the search field outside the forum f.e. in my WP Navbar!

its a widget... so it can go anywhere a widget can go...  so I would assume you have a widget area in your header?    I mean you cant have a search in the navbar, but you can in a section of the header that is say next to the navbar...  but you need it widgetized...

Okay ... i understand.

BUT the main Problem is, i've installed blogsearch plugin in the sp-plugin section, when i look for my available Widgets (in the WP Admin Dashboard) i dont see any sp widget but the recent post widget!

can you look in the sp plugins directory?  wp-content/sp-resources/forum-plugins/ and verify the name of the blog search plugin directory is blog-search?  and does not have a number appended?
