You don’t need to add anything special to the top of 404.php. WordPress will know to use 404.php automatically when it tries to get a post or page and fails. To create a custom 404 page for a theme, the simplest way is to: Copy the index.php file from the current theme to a file … Read more
1) I think that your solution is perfectly acceptable in terms of the “right way” – post meta is intended for searching. Doesn’t seem hacky to me. 2) What you should do is build the meta_query separately: $meta_query = array(); if( !empty( $_GET[‘price’] ) ) { $meta_query[] = array( ‘key’ => ‘_price’, ‘value’ => $_GET[‘price’] … Read more
WordPress is an HTTP/PHP web application. The ordinary rules of HTTP and PHP apply, and work. WordPress itself uses $_POST and $_GET more times than I can count. If you want to pass information from one page to another– say from a form to a search handler– you have to use one or the other. … Read more
You need a meta_query something like this: $args = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘shop’, ‘meta_query’ => array( array( ‘key’ => ‘map-location’, ‘value’ => ‘London’, ‘compare’ => ‘LIKE’ // the = operator might work depending on how your data is stored ), ) ); Note: I am making some assumptions about how ACF stores data.
Create a another filter to remove post title and post content remove search terms try this if this helpful for you add_filter( ‘posts_search’, ‘custom_post_search_author_do’, 10, 2 ); function custom_post_search_author_do($search, $query ){ if( ! empty($search) && $query->is_main_query() && !is_admin() && isset($_GET[‘search-type’]) && $_GET[‘search-type’] == ‘autor’ ) $search=””; return $search; }
add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘__filter_pre_get_posts’ ); function __filter_pre_get_posts( $query ) { // this is to detect a public search query if ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_search ) { // DO your magic here… } }
Stright from WordPress reference: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/posts_search/#user-contributed-notes You can search by post title only with: function __search_by_title_only( $search, $wp_query ) { global $wpdb; if(empty($search)) { return $search; // skip processing – no search term in query } $q = $wp_query->query_vars; $n = !empty($q[‘exact’]) ? ” : ‘%’; $search = $searchand = ”; foreach ((array)$q[‘search_terms’] as $term) { … Read more
There’s a filter to remove this feature, which is known more commonly as autocorrecting the URL rather than “search” per se. Place this in your site-specific plugin or your custom/child theme’s functions.php file: remove_filter(‘template_redirect’, ‘redirect_canonical’); There is also an old plugin that does this. See https://www.bloggersignal.com/stop-wordpress-from-guessing-urls/ for details.
Try this: PHP add_action( ‘wp_ajax_my_adv_search’, ‘ajax_my_adv_search’ ); add_action( ‘wp_ajax_nopriv_my_adv_search’, ‘ajax_my_adv_search’ ); function ajax_my_adv_search() { if ( ! check_ajax_referer( ‘my-adv-search’, ‘q_nonce’, false ) ) { echo ‘session_expired’; wp_die(); } $post_type = isset( $_POST[‘q_post_type’] ) ? $_POST[‘q_post_type’] : ”; $taxonomy = isset( $_POST[‘q_taxonomy’] ) ? $_POST[‘q_taxonomy’] : []; $year = isset( $_POST[‘q_year’] ) ? $_POST[‘q_year’] : ”; … Read more
By all rights it should work, here’s the same thing applied to my own site: tomjn.com/?s=talk&post_type=tomjn_talks vs tomjn.com/?s=talk . Something else is the problem Specifically, if you replace the main query with a query_posts call or a WP_Query, that query won’t take into account parameters passed via the URL unless explicitly passed through manually. Instead, … Read more
