Mobile Redirection Issue with Custom WordPress Elementor Widget Search Form

[o3rge]

I’m currently working on a WordPress website and using Elementor as my page builder. I have a product search form that redirects users to an Elementor page using the “elementor_library” parameter included in the form as a hidden input. This works perfectly on a desktop, but when I’m on a mobile device, it redirects me to the homepage instead (even if I write directly url containing the request). I’m unsure why this is happening and I’d appreciate any help in resolving this issue.

Here’s what my search form looks like:

Search

When the form is submitted, I’m redirected to the following URL: https://mywebsite.com/?search_products=userInput&elementor_library=elementor-archive-60215 “userInput” represents the value entered in the search field. As I mentioned earlier, this redirection works well on desktop but not on mobile devices.

For reference, I have also included the following code in my child theme’s functions.php file in order to include categories and tags in the product search:

add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘custom_search_products’ );
function custom_search_products(WP_Query $query) {
if (isset($_GET[‘search_products’]) && $query->is_search()) {
$searchValue = sanitize_text_field($_GET[‘search_products’]);
$query->set(‘post_type’, ‘product’);
$query->set(‘s’, $searchValue);
$query->set(‘search_prod_term’, $searchValue);
}
return $query;
}

function custom_search_where_clause($where, $wp_query) {
global $wpdb;

if ($search_term = $wp_query->get(‘search_prod_term’)) {
$where .= ‘ OR (‘;
$where .= ” EXISTS (SELECT * FROM {$wpdb->term_relationships} tr”;
$where .= ” LEFT JOIN {$wpdb->term_taxonomy} tt ON (tr.term_taxonomy_id = tt.term_taxonomy_id)”;
$where .= ” LEFT JOIN {$wpdb->terms} t ON (t.term_id = tt.term_id)”;
$where .= ” WHERE tt.taxonomy IN (‘product_cat’, ‘product_tag’)”;
$where .= $wpdb->prepare(” AND t.name LIKE %s”, ‘%’ . $wpdb->esc_like($search_term) . ‘%’);
$where .= $wpdb->prepare(” AND t.slug LIKE %s”, ‘%’ . $wpdb->esc_like($search_term) . ‘%’);
$where .= ” AND {$wpdb->posts}.ID = tr.object_id”;
$where .= ” AND {$wpdb->posts}.post_type IN (‘product’)”;
$where .= ‘))’;
}

return $where;
}
add_filter(‘posts_where’, ‘custom_search_where_clause’, 10, 2);
If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has any suggestions on how to fix this, please let me know. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
