Elementor Search Form Builder – Important Note
If you use the Elementor Search Form Builder widget on specific pages,
please note the following:
- The global Advanced Search Type selected in Theme Options still applies.
- Search fields are configured inside the Elementor widget and do not sync with Theme Options.
- Changes made in Theme Options → Search → Advanced Search Form will not affect Elementor-based search forms.
- Button styling (colors, padding, typography, alignment) is controlled from the widget’s Style tab.
- This allows full page-level customization without changing global search settings.
