change post_types= to post_type=

  • Hi, I need some help im using this shortcode
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[searchandfilter fields="search,project_cat" submit_label="Filter" post_types="PROJECT"]'); ?>

    i need to change the
    post_types="PROJECT"
    into
    post_type="PROJECT"
    without the “s” in the word post_type,
    so that the url will become
    www.sample.com/?s=testword&post_type=PROJECT
    because im using a theme it was only set that way, any idea?

    or how can i tweak it inside the code

    thankyou

    or maybe url rewrite is a good idea, but don’t know what to put to the function code that fits your plugin

    Hey there

    We use post_types because it allows for multiple post types – ie, project,post,page – because WP does not support this natively (it only allows for one).

    To do this, we then use the WP filter pre_get_posts to modify the query of a search to filter by those post types.

    It looks like in your theme the pre_get_posts filter is not triggering on your query so in essence is being ignored.

    To add this back in, you will need to find a way to modify the query in your template (your theme may have some docs about this) and then you’ll need to add the post types yourself using code.

    If you can explain how your theme creates the query for your search results page then I may be able to point you in the right direction.

    Thanks
