WP_User_Query searches the $wpdb->users table. It will not join on your custom table. How would it know what to JOIN? The possible tables names and structures are practically infinite. I believe you might be able to use a filter on pre_user_query to insert your own values in the WHERE clause but there is no JOIN … Read more
Yes, it is possible. You will have to use your custom SQL query though. Use posts_where filter to modify the query. function posts_where( $where ) { if( !is_admin() ) { $where = <YOUR CONDITION>; } return $where; } add_filter( ‘posts_where’ , ‘posts_where’ ); Your condition should look something like this: post_status=”publish” AND ((post_type=”post” AND post_title … Read more
As noted above, when I tried that code I ended up on a server level 404 page. If this is meant to be a standard WordPress search ( ia m not sure if it is) you need to be using name=”s” and not name=”q”. WordPress uses the s GET variable for a search. The following … Read more
This will do exactly what you’re asking for: add_action(‘wp’, ‘redirect_empty_search’); function redirect_empty_search() { global $wp_query; if( isset( $_REQUEST[‘s’] ) && 0 === $wp_query->post_count ) { wp_redirect( home_url() ); exit; } } You’ll want to add some kind of message on the homepage when this happens, maybe by adding a query parameter to home_url() and displaying … Read more

You can also set synonyms and promotions (so that particular pages will always appear at the top of specific search results pages). The Google content is based on spidering though, so it won’t understand back-end … Read more
Use <?php echo home_url( “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” ); ?> as the action. ‘search’ by the way is not a valid bloginfo parameter.
The problem is that by default WordPress only looks in the title and content field. As you build your pages from multiple pieces of external post types the default query doesn’t find those parts. Before we go any further I want you to know that this is going to be quite involved as you need … Read more
You can include the search form in your 404.php file using the get_search_form() function. Using get_sidebar( ‘404’ ); would look for a file called sidebar-404.php and fall back on sidebar.php if needed. get_sidebar()
If you want to exclude certain posts, wouldn’t the conditional be: if ($value != ” && get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘value’, true) != ‘value_to_exclude’) Anyhow, you’re excluding AFTER you run the query. So $total_results will always be ‘wrong’. The better approach is to write sql for WP_Query that does the excluding for you. But you didn’t include the … Read more
