Problem with showing custom field in result

[shahrooz]

Hi Ernest,

Just a quick question: I’m using TablePress to have a list of products and I want to have the entries of these tables in my search result. I’ve added tablepress_table to “search in custom post” and it gave me the result but when I click on the provided link, it goes to 404 (Nothing Found)! Also, the result shows the table name and I need to change that too (screenshot attached).

Would you help me to solve these issues?

Thanks,

Hi!

The problem with that custom post type, that it’s not actually a custom post type with a link, but it’s a shortcode. As you can see, you can add the table shortcodes to any page or post or custom post type.

So what I suggest is maybe creating pages for each table, putting the table shortcodes into those pages. The entries of the tables are unfortunately not custom post types either – so it’s not possible to have them as results.

Hey,

So, in this case, I think its better to add some keywords as tags, then the search can bring the table page in the result base on tags on the page.

Thanks,
