Most unfortunate, while my original solution was elegant I did not foresee this complication, and I apologise for the inconvenience. So, I provide an alternative solution. Firstly to get your fancy search query: Your markup will need to change, but this will intercept the URLs and rewrite them correctly internally, it is similar to the … Read more
Well, perhaps the answer could not be found in the WP_Query class for what I was trying to accomplish. Below is the final code that I plugged in to my functions.php file. I ultimately ended up search the WP_Query Class found in the wp_includes/query.php file. What I discovered is that there are a number of … Read more
you can change your search filter to this: function SearchFilter($query) { $post_type = $_GET[‘post_type’]; if (!$post_type) { $post_type=”any”; } if ($query->is_search) { $query->set(‘post_type’, $post_type); }; return $query; } add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’,’SearchFilter’); then on your news search form add : <input type=”hidden” name=”post_type” value=”post” /> on your custom post type listing search form add <input type=”hidden” name=”post_type” value=”customtypename” … Read more
Here is an idea, sort your your loop before it executes. Your current issue is just this. You will see that the type of sorting (if I’m correct where I believe your order is not alphabetical according to post type) is not possible natively, so we need a work-around (even if you just need post … Read more
To include the attachment (media) post type in search results, use the following code snippet function attachment_search( $query ) { if ( $query->is_search ) { $query->set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘post’, ‘attachment’ ) ); $query->set( ‘post_status’, array( ‘publish’, ‘inherit’ ) ); } return $query; } add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘attachment_search’ ); Source However, this does not take care of … Read more
That’s certainly something you must solve on the server side, only omitting the arguments in URL would cause errors when accessing the non-existent keys in the $_GET array. You should build your arguments array dynamically based on whether the values are set ot not. Example: $args = array(); foreach(array(‘s’, ‘country’, ‘year’) as $key) { // … Read more
I think it is better that you do this inside the WordPress install, not on the .htaccess. Is not easy to maintain and maybe a problem, if you have more results for a search. You can use the follow source, write in a small plugin and activate. If the search result have only one result, … Read more
First, you are setting $_GET[‘filterN’] but you are trying to use $_GET[‘condition_N’]. That is not ever going to work right. Secondly, pagename is an “exact match” value, not a search parameter, and it only works with the “Page” post type (at least so far as I can tell). You are using a CPT and, presumably, … Read more
Edit: It appears your actual problem is searching tags and categories, hence placing the s parameter inside the tax_query. There is no way to search tags categories and other terms using only the fields provided by WP_Query. Your query doesn’t work because what you want isn’t possible with just the parameters available. Instead of asking … Read more
I think the only solution is to skip the sql pagination and handle it only via php. My idea involves 2 functions, one hooked on pre_get_posts, the second to filter the_posts. The first function does 2 things: unset the paged value for search, in this way all the posts are returned from the SQL query. … Read more
