Appearance
Saved Search (VT)
Lists the searches a user has saved and lets them manage them — re-run a search, rename it, toggle notifications, or share it.
Pairs with the Saved Search function, which does the saving and the notifications. This widget is the management interface, and usually belongs on an account or dashboard page.
Enable it under Voxel Toolkit → Widgets.
General
| Control | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Columns | Grid columns |
| Gap | Spacing between items |
| Card Template | Which template renders each saved search |
Display toggles
Each element of a saved-search item can be shown or hidden:
| Control | Shows |
|---|---|
| Show Filter Icons | Icons for the filters in the saved search |
| Show Title | The search's name |
| Show Edit Title Button | Lets the user rename it |
| Show Post Type | Which post type the search targets |
| Show Created Date | When it was saved |
| Show Search Button | Re-runs the search |
| Show Notification Button | Toggles alerts for new matches |
| Show Share Button | Shares the search |
Keep the search and notification buttons
They're the two that make the feature worth having — re-running a saved search is the point, and the notification toggle is where users opt into being told about new matches. The rest is presentation.
Where to place it
On a logged-in account or dashboard page. Saved searches belong to a user, so the widget has nothing to show for a guest.
Troubleshooting
The widget is empty
- The user hasn't saved any searches yet
- The visitor isn't logged in — saved searches are per-user
- The Saved Search function is disabled
Nothing renders at all
Confirm the widget is enabled under Voxel Toolkit → Widgets and the Elementor editor has been reloaded.
"View Search" opens the wrong page
Saved searches remember the page they were created on and reopen it with the filters applied. If it lands somewhere unexpected, the search was saved from a different page than you expect — re-save it from the intended one.
Notifications aren't arriving
Notification delivery is handled by the Saved Search function, not this widget. The button here only toggles the preference. Check the function's settings, and confirm WordPress can send mail.
