Exclude Events from the WordPress Search results on the frontend.

[James O’Sullivan]

Hi there, When using the standard WP search on the frontend of my site I see all my events past and present showing up. I would prefer no events showing up at all actually and just my posts and pages. How can I exclude all events from showing.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
James

Hello James!

Thanks for getting in touch with us! Let me help you with that.

Try placing the following code snippet into your theme’s functions.php file:

function exclude_from_search($query) {
if ($query->is_search) {
$query->set('post_type', 'post');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts','exclude_from_search');

Let me know if that works for you! 🙂

Best,
Victor
