Hi Phil,
Until I can build this option into the plugin, here are some methods.
1. A plugin like Search Exclude to exclude individual testimonials.
2. Restrict the search query to posts and pages only by adding this to your theme’s functions.php:
/**
* Exclude testimonials from search results.
*/
function my_search_filter( $query ) {
if ( !$query->is_admin && $query->is_search ) {
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'page' ) );
}
return $query;
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_search_filter' );
3. Modify the plugin. Edit strong-testimonials.php and find this section:
$testimonial_args = array(
'labels' => $testimonial_labels,
'singular_label' => _x( 'testimonial', 'post type singular label', 'strong-testimonials' ),
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'hierarchical' => false, // @since 1.8
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => _x( 'testimonial', 'slug', 'strong-testimonials' ) ), // @since 1.8
'menu_icon' => 'dashicons-editor-quote',
'menu_position' => 20,
'exclude_from_search' => false, // @since 1.15.10
'supports' => array( 'title', 'excerpt', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'custom-fields', 'page-attributes' )
);
Change exclude_from_search from false to true.
