    Hi,

    I am interesting in excluding a left menu from search. I use the left menu on some web pages and I would like to exclude it because then for the search “word sketch” I get among results the following web page: https://www.sketchengine.co.uk/user-guide/user-manual/word-list/ (only thanks to 3x times occurrences “word sketch” in the left menu)

    I have found only the option to exclude categories, tags, posts/pages, but not a menu.

    Perhaps, may I use with different values the code below

    add_filter('relevanssi_do_not_index', 'rlv_exclude_protected', 10, 2);
function rlv_exclude_protected($exclude, $post_id) {
	$post = get_post($post_id);
	if (!empty($post->post_password)) $exclude = true;
	return $exclude;
}

    Thank you for your answer.

    Relevanssi shouldn’t index the sidebars in the first place. How are you adding the sidebar to the pages? Is it in the template files as is usual, or is it somehow in the post content?

    It is a widget area with an additional menu. The theme of our websites is Enfold theme and we’re using Avia Layout Builder on most pages.

    Ok, so the widget area is in the post content. There’s probably a way to remove it, and how easy that is depends on the layout builder. If it’s just using a shortcode to add the widget area, then it’s easy to remove.

    You can use relevanssi_post_content filter to manipulate the post content before Relevanssi sees it. 

    add_filter('relevanssi_post_content', 'rlv_remove_widgets', 10, 2);
function rlv_remove_widgets($content, $post) {
     // remove the widget code from $content here
     return $content;
}

    You’ll have to figure out how to remove the widget code; I can’t tell you how to do that, as I don’t know how Avia Layout Builder works.

    Ok, thank you.

    I’m sorry but where can I add this code? In relevanssi.php via interface WP or I’ve to go to install folder of WP?

    (I have experience with editing CSS file not many with editing plugins)

    Put that in theme functions.php.
