    Hi. This plugin is awesome.

    I have a question, is it possible to search in a part of the site only within a custom post type?

    I have a post type called ‘courses’ and would like people to be able to search courses.

    Is this possible please, and if so how?

    Note: I still want to be able to have full site search but with the addition of this in that part of the site.

    Hope for your help.

    Best wishes, Andrew.

    Yes. Make a search form that contains this hidden input field:

    <input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="courses" />

    That search form will then only search for posts that are the type “courses”.

    Hi, thanks for the reply ??

    Can you confirm where I do that? AT the moment I call the search form in my template file using:

    <?php get_search_form(); ?>

    Where would I put your code?

    Instead of using get_search_form(), you need to add the search form HTML code directly. I don’t know if it’s possible to add extra input fields in the search form from that function.
