Exclude Custom Type Posts from Website Search

Hello @nikoslefkas

Could you please let me know which widget exactly you have used?

Thanks!

Hi Eduard!
Thank you for your fast response!

I used the default search widget (check my screenshot here: https://freeimage.host/i/26zhr0X )

I think I solved by adding the following code in functions.php

//Εμφ?νιση στην αναζ?τηση μ?νο των ?ρθρων - λημμ?των
if (!is_admin()) {
  function search_filter_posts($query) {
    if ($query->is_search) {
  $query->set('post_type', 'post');
}
  return $query;
}
  add_filter('pre_get_posts','search_filter_posts');
}

So now the search show only posts, not pages, not ctp.

Can you suggest me another solution?

Thank you, once again!

Hello @nikoslefkas

From what I can see, you’re using the classic widgets system and the built in search widget. I’m afraid that we do not have control over these and we cannot provide advice for how to modify them, or debug any code snippets related to them. And in addition to that, the classic widgets system has an unsupported status in combination with Blocksy, as the theme is Gutenberg based. Things might not work as expected.

What would be recommended is to switch to the standard widget editor (based on Gutenberg) and use our own Advanced Search widget: https://creativethemes.com/blocksy/docs/theme-blocks/advanced-search/. It has direct options to select which post types are searched and can be managed with ease.

Hope this clears things up!

Thanks.

Hi Eduard!

With the above code, the search widget works only with posts!
So everything is ok!

Thanks so much for your assistance!
