Changing where Search Bar Pro sends searches

If your Search Bar Pro searches land on the wrong results page, the destination is set on the search bar’s shortcode.

Why this happens. Each search bar has its own destination, set with the submit_url attribute on its shortcode. There is no site-wide results page setting to change. When submit_url is left off entirely, the search bar falls back to /properties/.

To change the destination:

1. Edit the page or template that contains the search bar.
2. Find the Search Bar Pro shortcode, which looks like [homerunner_searchbar_pro mode="hero" instance_id="hero" submit_url="/properties/"].
3. Change submit_url to your listings page path, keeping the leading and trailing slashes, for example submit_url="/listings/".
4. Save the page, then clear any page caching.

If your site has multiple search bars, each one is a separate shortcode with its own submit_url, and each needs to be updated.
