How Do I Add a Google Search Bar to My WordPress Website?

Adding a Google search bar to your WordPress website is a simple process that can be accomplished in a few minutes. First, you will need to add a new plugin to your WordPress site. The Google Search by Yoast plugin is perfect for this purpose and can be found at the WordPress Plugin Directory. Once the plugin is installed, you will need to activate it. To do this, click on the “Plugins” menu item in the WordPress admin area and click on the “Activate” button next to the Google Search by Yoast plugin. Once the plugin is activated, you will need to add a new widget to your website.

To add a new widget, click on the “Widgets” menu item in the WordPress admin area and click on the “Add New” button. In the “Widget Type” dropdown menu, select the “Search Widget” option and then enter the following information in the “Name” field: Google Search by Yoast. In the “Widget Shortcode” field, enter the following code: [yoo_google_search id=”your_widget_id”] Once you have entered the required information, click on the “Add” button and then click on the “Preview” button to preview your Google search bar on your website. Note: If you want your Google search bar to open in a new window, you will need to change the “Window Title” field to “Google Search by Yoast.” Click on the “Save” button to save your changes and then click on the “Publish” button to publish your Google search bar on your website. Congratulations! Your Google search bar has now been added to your website.
