Plugin doesn't seem to be working

Hi bbirchmeier,

Thank you for contacting us!

If I understand you correctly, you have the SKU in post_content in your products. If so, your product will appear in search results regardless of using this plugin.

This is because WordPress searches in post_title and post_content by default. And if you have SKU in content or title, products will appear in search results anyway.

If I misunderstood you, can you provide more details please?

Thanks!

Hello!

Could you point me in the direction where I may change search so it doesn’t look through post_content?

Thank you very much!

Hi,

This plugin does not provide such options.

To do this you need custom code, something like this:

// some function that modifies the query
function modify_search ( $where ) {

	global $wpdb;

	if( !is_admin() ) { // here should be additional checks

		return $where = ""; // custom sql here

	}

	return $where;

}

// attach your function to the posts_where filter
add_filter( 'posts_where' , 'modify_search' );

In ‘return $where = “”‘ expression you should specify your SQL query. It can be various depending on your project features.

Thanks!
