There’s 3 steps to install the code from the download folder to your theme :

  1. Using a code editor, add the PHP code from the functions.php file to the end of your child themes functions file.
  2. Add the CSS from the style.css file to the end of your child themes style.css file, before the Media Queries.
  3. Upload the search.js file to your child themes js folder.
