Keep “More Options” Open by Default in Search Type 1

You can use custom CSS to keep the More Options area open by default when using the default Search Type 1 form.

The More Options area is used to display the property Features and Amenities selected for the Advanced Search form.

You can manage which Features and Amenities show in this area from:

Theme Options > Search > Advanced Search Form

Enable Show Amenities and Features fields?, then select the features and amenities you want to display in the search form.

Custom CSS

Add the following CSS in Theme Options > Design > Custom CSS, in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS, or directly in the style.css file from your child theme:

.extended_search_check_wrapper {
  display: block !important;
}

Result

After adding this CSS, the More Options section will stay visible by default instead of opening only after the visitor clicks the More Options button.



Important Notes

This CSS applies to the default Search Type 1 form. If you use a custom search form, Search Form Builder, or a custom Elementor/Studio template, the CSS selector may be different.

This CSS only keeps the More Options area open. It does not decide which Features and Amenities appear there. Those are controlled from the Advanced Search Form settings.

Clear Cache

After adding the CSS, clear your website cache, server cache, CDN cache if used, and browser cache.

If WPResidence theme cache is enabled, clear the theme cache as well to see the change immediately.
