The Why part In the core is_search() function there’s a check if the global $wp_query is set: global $wp_query; if ( ! isset( $wp_query ) ) { _doing_it_wrong( __FUNCTION__, __( ‘Conditional query tags do not work before the query is run. Before then, they always return false.’ ), ‘3.1.0’ ); return false; } Note that … Read more
The only problem is that the default search columns in the wp_posts table such as post_title seem to no longer be searched. They’re actually being searched, but the operator used is AND instead of OR as in WHERE ( <search query> AND <meta query> ), hence if for example one searched for foo, then WordPress … Read more
It depends on the setup; if they are setup as multisite, check this plugin: Multisite Global Search If that doesn’t work, I’d try custom Google search. They should allow you to search on both sites.
The code you found works not by changing the query variable but by converting another variable into the s variable that WordPress expects. If you look at the WP_Query object, that s parameter is pretty deeply embedded into Core functionality. The simple solution, and perhaps the only one, is to choose some other parameter for … Read more
Just in case anyone trips over this…here’s how you remove “search” and some examples of other things you can remove from the admin bar: public function remove_admin_menu_bar_items ($wp_toolbar) { $wp_toolbar->remove_node( ‘my-sites’ ); $wp_toolbar->remove_node( ‘wp-logo’ ); $wp_toolbar->remove_node( ‘new-content’ ); $wp_toolbar->remove_node( ‘view’ ); $wp_toolbar->remove_node( ‘logout’ ); //remove “logout” under “howdy” $wp_toolbar->remove_node( ‘user-info’ ); //remove “youraccount” under “howdy” … Read more
A meta_query is an array of arrays. You only have an array. $query->set(‘meta_query’, array( ‘key’ => ‘shru_price’, ‘value’ => $_GET[‘minPrice’], ‘compare’ => ‘>=’, ‘type’ => ‘NUMERIC’ )); It should be: $query->set( ‘meta_query’, array( array( ‘key’ => ‘shru_price’, ‘value’ => $_GET[‘minPrice’], ‘compare’ => ‘>=’, ‘type’ => ‘NUMERIC’ ) ) ); And please validate/sanitize that user supplied … Read more
I tried the following code: $posts = get_posts([ “post_type” => “CUSTOM_POST_TYPE”, “meta_query” => [ ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, [ ‘key’ => ‘longitude’, ‘value’ => [-0.9895, 1.3125], ‘compare’ => ‘BETWEEN’, “type” => “NUMERIC”, ], ], ]); When I remove “type” => “NUMERIC”, I could reproduced your problem because the comparison is string based. But when adding the … Read more
I feel bad for answering my own question on here, but here’s what I did. I created a custom search template, a custom searchform.php and changed my header.php to reflect my custom search page. What I did is rename the search box names to search instead of s to get around WordPress automatically running search.php … Read more
