The Advanced Search Shortcode in WPRentals lets you add the theme advanced search form inside a page.

This is useful when you want to show the same search form inside page content, not only over the theme hero media header.

What the Advanced Search Shortcode Does

The Advanced Search Shortcode displays the WPRentals advanced search form inside a page or post.

Visitors can use it to search listings by the fields configured in the global Advanced Search Form settings.

The shortcode can be added with:

• Elementor, using the WPRentals Advanced Search widget
• Bakery Page Builder, using the Advanced Search shortcode element

Where the Shortcode Settings Come From

The fields and behavior of the Advanced Search Shortcode are managed from:

WPRentals Options > Search > Advanced Search Form

Advanced Search Form settings

From that section, you can manage the global search form used by the shortcode, such as:

• the selected Advanced Search Type
• the search fields used by the selected search type
• field labels
• compare rules, when the selected search type supports custom fields
• price slider settings
• guest, beds, bathrooms, and rooms settings
• features and amenities settings
