Customization

You may make a few customizations to how the plugin looks and behaves. To make these customizations, you will need to be able to write to the multisite-global-search directory.

Adding Behavior Customizations

  1. Make a file in the multisite-global-search directory called “config_local.php”.
  2. See the file called “config.php” for the list of items you may customize. The file contains documentation for each of them.
  3. Copy the lines containing variables you wish to change to config_local.php and alter them as desired. Take care to retain formatting, for example, the line-ending semicolon.
  4. Make a backup copy of your config_local.php that is stored outside your WordPress installation!

Adding Look and Feel Customizations

  1. Make a file in the multisite-global-search directory called “customstyle.css”.
  2. Add your style alterations to this file. It will be loaded after the default style.css.
  3. Make a backup copy of your customstyle.css that is stored outside your WordPress installation!
