Hi @cannyboy: There’s a plugin called Search Unleashed that gives lots of different functionality. One of my clients was using it and I was impressed with the control it gave. Not 100% sure it will give you what you need but it’s worth checking out. If your blog only has post_types of “post” and you … Read more
That kind of search request should already work(query it directly in your address bar), the component you’re missing is redirecting the non-pretty search requests.. For doing the redirect, you should find the following plugin still works.. http://txfx.net/wordpress-plugins/nice-search/ Hope that helps..
Search is a big topic and therefore I can only guess the direction you want to go to. Like @MikeSchinkel in his comment was asking for more, I can for the moment only provide a list of links of which one might come close to what you need: Refine search by category (How-To); Building a … Read more
First you have to give your dropdown names so: <?php $media = array( ‘name’ => ‘subcat’, ‘hierarchical’ => 1, ‘parent’ => get_cat_id(‘Media’), ‘show_option_none’ => (‘All Media’), ‘hide_empty’ => 0 ); ?> <form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>/”> <div> <input type=”text” value=”<?php the_search_query(); ?>” name=”s” id=”s” /> <?php wp_dropdown_categories(‘name=maincat&show_option_none=All Category’); ?> <?php wp_dropdown_categories($media); ?> <input type=”hidden” … Read more
Try this in your functions.php, and change news for whatever you want to be blocked in your site. add_action(‘wp’, ‘check_search’); function check_search() { global $wp_query; if (!$s = get_search_query()) return false; if (preg_match(‘/news/’, $s)) { $wp_query->set_404(); status_header(404); get_template_part(404); exit(); } } Hope it helps.
As you haven’t offered the details on what you’re after, I’ll try to grab them all very briefly. Use the API – public WP_User_Query API functions Basically get_user_by() should be enough for you. Let’s say you fire of your form and the input field name was user_id. So you’d just retrieve the value from the … Read more
get_template_part( ‘content’, ‘none’ ); will look for: content-none.php content.php Twenty Thirteen does have content-none.php. In general this is organized in such way to support dynamic lookups where first two-part template might or might not exist and fallback to more generic template, if necessary.
This would only work if the keyword exactly matches the tag that you are searching for, and unfortunately, tag data isn’t indexed by WordPress search by default, so that won’t yield anything either. If you want to index the tags and include that in search results you might want to use a plugin. Relevanassi might … Read more
You may need to include a tax_query for the Woocommerce taxonomy (called ‘product_cat’): $tax_query = array( array( ‘taxonomy’ => ‘product_cat’ ), ); $query->set( ‘tax_query’, $tax_query ); } return $query; } However, you’ll have to ensure that you can return posts AND pages AND product categories and also note the search results will be mixed up … Read more
You can enforce a post type per callback on pre_get_posts: is_admin() || add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, function( \WP_Query $query ) { $post_type = filter_input( INPUT_GET, ‘post_type’, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING ); if ( $post_type && $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_search() ) $query->set( ‘post_type’, [ $post_type ] ); }); If that still includes other post types, you have a second callback registered on … Read more
