[Plugin: WP Custom Fields Search] For anyoen trying to search pages instead of posts

  • If anyone’s been struggling with getting this plug-in to search pages instead of posts here’s what you need to do. (The author’s explanation is minimal so I hope this post sheds some light on things)

    Step 1:
    Add a field in the interface, the label can be anything as it won’t show up in the end interface. I suggest “Hidden pages value” or something like that

    Step 2:
    Set the data type value to “post type”

    Step 3:
    Set Widget to “hidden constant”

    Step 4:
    Compare should be “equals”

    Step 5:
    Set widget config to “Page”

    Should look for pages, not posts now. Useful if you’re using WP as a CMS

  • Hi there

    I tried this and it worked first time, but then the search box disappeared, even after changing themes. Have you experienced this before, and if so do you know of a solution.

    Thank you for any help you can provide.
