Restrict search to current category

  • Hello.

    I wanted that my web’s search shows only pages whose category it’s the same that of the current page

    If in the option “Restrict search to these categories and tags:” I put a number it’s work, but
    Is there any instruction to set the id of the category of the current page instead of putting the number?

    Depends on the page the ID will be different…

    Thank’s

    You can’t adjust it through that setting if you want the value to change. All you need to do is to pass the current category ID in the query variable cats.

    Like this:

    <input type="hidden" name="cats" value="X">

    where X is the current category ID. Write some code that will add a hidden input field like that to your search form so that X gets the ID of current category, and the searches will work as expected.

    So I’ve got it done and if I put a number works prefect but the number change in each page.
    But what I can not put a number, but by code that take the current page number?

    I just explained this above. You can’t do this from the settings page, you need to do it in the search form.

    Hello another time.

    And, can you explain me what should I put in the search form for the search work by category?

    I’m not a wordpress expert….

    Thank’s

    It’s probably best you hire one to do the job for you. It’s not a complicated task, any WP-skilled freelancer should be able to do it, but it’s beyond what I can do here on these forums.
