This could be multiple things. I’m not sure what the credits do. However, the chance is quite big that the search field is being created by a widget, shown in the get_sidebar(‘main’). Under “Appearance” > “Widgets”, you should be able to find more information. The template being called is probably sidebar-main.php. If it is a … Read more
Although this is possible, it really is not viable. I’ve done a lot of research on this subject, but could not find a straight forward answer I went and had a look at the WP_Query class for a possible solution, and I came to the conclusion that what I was trying to accomplish would not … Read more
I’m sure you’ve googled ‘khabarnaak’ – it’s a Pakistani talk show. It’s more likely to be an automated scraper trying to find content rather than an attack. The request does not look like it has been crafted for a WordPress site. Two ways to stop it are: Block the IPs making the request. Add ‘Deny … Read more
I can confirm that url-decoding the search query is the correct approach. In fact, it is done in WordPress core for the search parameter of WP_Query but not when the search string is from a $_GET request as it is seen in WP_Query::parse_search() method, wp-includes/query.php#L2061 (WP 4.2.2): if ( empty( $_GET[‘s’] ) && $this->is_main_query() ) … Read more
It can be extended but not easily as the search searches just in the DB and shortcodes usually do some calculations in order to produce the final HTML. To use the Google Custom Search you just need to get the code and add it to the site as a widget or part of the theme’s … Read more
After some tweaking I’ve discovered that I’ve totally forgotten the relation into meta_query. so I’ve just added ‘meta_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, $closed, $ends, $budgets, ), and it worked fine.
It is somehow possible as you can phrase SQL queries to match your conditions but it will not perform very well as the MySQL table structure is not designed for this kind of full-text search. However, the solution requires more than just passing the search query (the user input) to the default WordPress s query … Read more
The core issue is that you’re having trouble creating a filtered search. Why not use a pre_get_posts hook to modify the query before it actually gets called, then you don’t need to modify the template files at all: /** * Modify WP_Query before it asks the database what data to retrieve * Belongs in functions.php … Read more
The answer before mine shows you the problem about is_search() in your code. To solve your problem, you can try to add some datas from your search form. In your WordPress you have a searchform.php, you can edit this file to add a new hidden field or use an ugly filter function like I have … Read more
If you only want to search a particular post type include a hidden field with the name post_type and the value set as the name of the post type you want to search: <form role=”search” method=”get” action=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/”> <input type=”text” name=”s” placeholder=”Search”> <input type=”hidden” name=”post_type” value=”post_type_name”> <input type=”submit” value=”Go”> </form> Just replace post_type_name with the actual … Read more
