Search forums option

Is there anyway to allow you plugin to search forum topics as well?

[Vinod Dalvi]

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

Yes, the plugin searches forum topics.

Please make sure that you have selected the forum topic post type in the search form options as described below.

Does this work with all the forum plugins or just a specific few. I enabled that setting and tried searching for a test post but it did not work at all. I am currently using wpforo is there anyway possible to add support for it?

[Vinod Dalvi]

It works with all those forum plugins that saves its topic as custom post type.

Could you please ask wpforo plugin support to know whether it saves data as custom post type in the WordPress database tables?

[infernoprime]

Alright, I posted a topic about this asking that question. Will you be able to come up with a fix either way or will I have to look for another plugin?

[infernoprime]

They said they have their own database tables.

[Vinod Dalvi]

Currently, the Ivory Search plugin searches only WordPress database tables but I will consider implementing it in the future version of the plugin.
