Configuration

  3. Select the template file from you theme to be used to show posts list. By default, the search.php template is used. You can chose to create a specific template. For exemple, with the default WordPress themes, you can copy search.php to browse.php and remove the line that display the message “Search Results for:”.
    A browse.php sample file is provided in the sample directory.

Customize the posts list

As explained just before, you can create a dedicated template file in your theme based for example on search.php. This template is in charge to implement the WordPress loop.

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<?php endwhile; ?>

Customize the widget display

The widget uses the template files template/mssbc_default.php and template/mssbc_default.css.

You can implement your own template by copying theses two files as mssbc_custom.php and mssbc_custom.css. These two new files can be located in the widget’s template directory or in your theme’s main directory.
