I need to search for products but return related vendor (user)

[Patrick LosertParticipant]

Dear Support,

We have a marketplace for local butchers and using WooCommerce & Dokan for this.

I would like to build a Search where visitors can search for Products e.g. “Sausage” but it will return all the Vendors (Users with image & name) selling a Product LIKE ‘%Sausage%’ (case insensitive). So I want to search fir post_type = product but want to return user.

How can I achieve this with your Plugin ?

Thanks!
Regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

I’m afraid this is not possible without major customizations. Searching users by related post type contents is not possible.
If you decide to try custom coding, I recommend the asp_query_users filter – which gives you access to the final user search query. That should help you adding the required table joins for querying the user related posts.

Best,
Ernest Marcinko
