Removing filename searches when searching attachments

Approaching this from the SQL is a mistake, and instead a quick search of the official dev docs for filename reveals a filter named wp_allow_query_attachment_by_filename that is set to true by default: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_allow_query_attachment_by_filename/ apply_filters( ‘wp_allow_query_attachment_by_filename’, bool $allow_query_attachment_by_filename ) Filters whether an attachment query should include filenames or not. This means you can disable querying filenames … Read more

Different date time in results of search

All the date functions reference the global $post variable, but from your code the $post variable is not being used, so that’s why the date is wrong. Try this (untested): foreach ( $total_results as $tr ) { echo get_the_time( ‘j F Y, G:i’, $tr ); }

Adding another search field in a custom search box

To add a dropdown selector for the custom field meta key “function_camere” in your WordPress search form, you can modify the wpb_demo_shortcode function to include this new dropdown. This dropdown will allow users to select a value for the “function_camere” field, which will then be used as a search criterion. Here’s how you can modify … Read more

Search page doesn’t recognise post_type=page

I found a solution in this answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63678063/wordpress-search-filtering-pages-and-posts I customised the function as follows: function page_search_filter( \WP_Query $query ) { if ( ! is_admin() ) { if ( $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_search() ) { if ( isset( $_GET[‘post_type’] ) && $_GET[‘post_type’] == ‘page’ ) { $query->set( ‘post_type’,’page’ ); } } } return $query; } add_action( … Read more

Pagination URL not good

It looks like you’ve attempted to replace the default WP_Query object for your search page by instantiating a new WP_Query object. This has two main effects: firstly you’re hitting the database twice completely unnecessarily, slowing down the page execution; and secondly default template functionality like pagination depends on the default query for the page rather … Read more

search posts by POST ID

The function you are using might not be working because WordPress’s search functionality has been updated, and it’s recommended to use WordPress’s WP_Query class to modify the main query. Here’s a better and safer way to search by post ID using pre_get_posts hook: function search_by_post_id($query) { if($query->is_search) { if(is_numeric($query->query_vars[‘s’])) { $query->set(‘post_type’, ‘any’); $query->set(‘post__in’, array((int)$query->query_vars[‘s’])); $query->set(‘s’, … Read more

Blocking spambots from Search form

You need to modify the code that processes the search to sense and block invalid attempts. You could do this by looking for a valid session number, or even a session variable that is created by the page that contains the search form. You might also try a hidden field for the search form, although … Read more
