Polylang & CPT Search Results

    Hi,

    I have a basic search form in my theme, called through the get_search_form() filter.

    When i use it to search for a custom post type that’s not translated (using <input type=”hidden” name=”post_type” value=”book”/> in the form), it’s OK on the first results page, but i got 404’s on the next results pages.

    This is not the case when searching for posts, which are translated in my case.

    I tried in both 1.8beta1 and 1.8beta2, along with WP 4.4.

    And it works fine when disabling Polylang.

    Any clue ? Is it some kind of bug or something i might have done wrong ?

    Thanks

    Hi
    Could you provide a link to site and give an example of an unstranlated CPT?

    It’s only a localhost dev for the moment, but i’ll try to deploy it somewhere if needed. How can i send you the link privately ?

    Any clues on what could be the problem ? I can list search results on a single page as a temporary workaround, but that could be a bit annoying to users.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi!

    Polylang does not handle this case as the search form is always filtered by language and thus only contents which have a language can be returned by the query. If you want to search an untranslated custom post type, you have to filter the query to remove the language taxonomy.

    Ok, merci Chouby.

    I anyone ever find this thread and wonder how to do that : 

    function my_alter_query($query) {

    if ( is_admin() || !$query->is_main_query())
        return;

    if (is_search()){
        $query->set('lang', NULL);
    }

}
add_action('pre_get_posts','my_alter_query');
