Hi, I would like to remove the search button in the wpForo top menu, right above the forum, and instead, have a link that goes to the search page.  

I was able to find the link for the search page but the problem is that in the example the page that people will see is a search for all topics that have the word cheese in them.  

http://mysite.com/discuss/?wpfs=cheese

 

If I clear the search term in the URL and use this instead:

http://mysite.com/discuss/?wpfs=

The page displays ALL the posts in my forum.

 

How can I link to the search page so that it's blank without any search results so that the user can put something in the search box?

Hi R08,

I'm sorry but the search page doesn't have own page slug. You can use a unique key with URL, something like this: https://wpforo.com/community/?wpfs=uniquekey

Hello. Maybe there is a script or php code? I want to set the search on my own where I need to.

@st7878,

Since the wpForo 1.7.0 version, added a Forum search page URL - example.com/community/?foro=search

Please check the wpForo 1.7.0 changelog: https://wpforo.com/community/wpforo-announcements/wpforo-1-7-0-is-released/
