WordPress responds to requests to a robots.txt with dynamic content if such a file does not exist. That’s one way how the settings from wp-admin/options-privacy.php are used. I recommend to create a static robots.txt, just to make sure no plugin is getting in your way. Sample robots.txt User-agent: * Disallow: /cgi-bin Disallow: /wp-admin Disallow: /wp-includes … Read more
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_search_link was what I was looking for.
I solved this. First add $args[‘scope’] = $_REQUEST[‘scope’][0]; to the events-list.php under the line: em_locate_template(‘templates/events-search.php’,true); This will stop the search from finding a date range and only search single dates. Then in events-search.php, remove the second box for end-date. then in events manager plugin folder “classes” file em-events.php This is what it should look like … Read more

If I understand your question correctly, the problem is the target for the search results. Just finding the matching page is not good enough when the visitor has to scan a long document after entering the page. You could split the long texts into smaller pieces, in WordPress: posts. An idea: Create a main page … Read more
Change <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> to <?php if ($allsearch->have_posts()) : ?> <?php while ($allsearch->have_posts()) : $allsearch->the_post(); ?> because otherwise you don’t utilize your custom query. See WP_Query Usage. Also call wp_reset_query(); after the Loop. See wp_reset_query Description. Actually, you don’t need wp_reset_query(); because you use custom WP_Query object … Read more
