Search page issue

Hi,

The search results page in wordpress is specifically built to only display post type results. The plugin tries to “hack” those other results by sending fake posts with a modified url and titles as a placeholder.

You have two options:

1. To not display those results there using a custom code snippet. If it is okay to ignore them on the result page, then I can provide a small custom code snippet to exclude them when the results are directed to the search results page. Let me know if you need that.

2. To use the theme functions to modify the search.php file to fetch the fields from the live search (such as the images) on the results page. This requires custom coding though, so I only recommend doing that if you are comfortable with theme editing. These may or may not work, highly depends on how the search results page is built so I can’t guarantee anything.

Not sure, it can be a theme thing. It might be optimal to exlcude them from the results page overall to avoid any conflicts generally:

add_filter(
	'asp_query_args',
	function ( $args ) {
		if ( !$args['_ajax_search']  ) {
			$args['search_type'] = array('cpt');
		}
		return $args;
	}
);

Try adding this code via the Code Snippets (or similar) plugin or to the functions.php file in your theme/child theme directory – make sure to have a full server back-up first for safety. For more details you can check the safe coding guidelines.

Looks good to me!

The number of results on the plugin’s end is controlled under the Search Sources -> Limits panel: https://i.imgur.com/8O5MCFn.png
That should do the trick 🙂

You are very welcome 🙂 I will keep this topic open for a few days in case something comes up.

If you like the plugin and have not rated already, feel free to leave a rating on the wordpress plugin repository, it’s greatly appreciated.
