Don't Show Other Results

[BryanCollege]

Hi, I was wondering how I could have my search only return matches from one category. I have excluded all other categories, and grouped by category on the Advanced Options screen. However, the search is still pulling results from all pages. I tried setting a couple of pages to Uncategorized, and ensured that those were told to be excluded, but it still returns all.

Additionally, it is putting all of my results under “Other Results”, even those in the category I’d like to search within.

Hi Bryan!

Thank you for providing administrator login, but it doesn’t seem to work. Can you please check that? Also, is it possible to provide me temporary ftp access as well? It would speed up the debugging process 🙂

Thank you!

Sorry about that, the login should now work. Where should I send you the FTP info? Will it be public if I put it in a reply here?

[BryanCollege]

Any update? Do you need me to re-send my login credentials?

[Ernest Marcinko]

Sorry, I must have missed your last message. I will check it now.
If you edit the first post you made, the info wont be public. If you cant, then you can put it into a txt file and upload that in your next reply. (files are not public, only reply content is)

Ok, I see why is that. Normally pages don’t have categories. (I guess you have a plugin installed for this, or the template is allowing this) Let me see if I can change the search code to bypass that.

[Ernest Marcinko]

I have removed the bypass from the code. If I’m right, you should see the proper posts in the proper categories grouped in the results.

That did the trick. Thanks for your help, your support level is fantastic!
