Search pages ONLY in parent category

[habhop]

Hi,

Please could you help me setup the search so that I can have only results in a parent category are displayed in the results?

For example the search box is displayed on the Parent page ‘Synergy’ http://scancert.co.uk/synergy/

I would like the results displayed from this form to ONLY include child pages under the parent ‘Synergy’ for example: searching 23 would load the results such as http://scancert.co.uk/synergy/03e023/ and http://scancert.co.uk/synergy/23e001/ but not http://scancert.co.uk/lynch/2332/

If you could please advise me the best way to do this I would be extremely grateful.

Many Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam,

This might be possible via a custom code. There is a knowledge base on how to get results for specific page parent IDs. If I understand correctly, you have parent/child pages, and you only need the child pages within the results?

In that case, via a minor modification to the original custom code, this should do the trick:
(Try adding this custom code to the functions.php in your theme/child theme directory. Before editing, please make sure to have a full site back-up just in case!)

add_filter( 'asp_query_args', 'asp_include_only_parent_ids', 10, 2 );
function asp_include_only_parent_ids( $args, $id ) {
  /**
   * Enter the post/cpt prent IDs here. The results will be
   * limited to objects with these parent IDs.   
   */     
  $id = get_the_ID();
  
  if ( !empty($id) )
      $args['post_parent'] = array($id);
  
  return $args;
}
