Custom post types are not included in the WordPress search results by default – adding this snippet to you functions.php creates a function that allows specific custom post types to be queried and searched by WordPress.
Instructions
Add this to your functions.php file
add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘custom_post_type_search’ ); function custom_post_type_search( $query ) { if ($query->is_search) { $query->set(‘post_type’, array( ‘post’, ‘mycustomposttype1’, ‘mycustomposttype2’, ‘mycustomposttype3’)); } return $query; }
|
add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘custom_post_type_search’ ); function custom_post_type_search( $query ) { if ($query->is_search) { $query->set(‘post_type’, array( ‘post’, ‘mycustomposttype1’, ‘mycustomposttype2’, ‘mycustomposttype3’)); } return $query; } |
