Exclude recurrent events from search results except from first instance

[marcjulia]

This doesn’t work:

add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘search_loop_control_recurring_events’ );
function search_loop_control_recurring_events( WP_Query $query ) {
if ( !is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
if ($query->is_search) {
$query->set( ‘tribeHideRecurrence’, true );
}
}
}

Any help would be appreciated. thanks in advanced.

Hi!

We can’t always provide in-depth support for customizations, but I’d be happy to explore this a little with you and see if we can point you in the right direction.

So, in this case, can you try swapping out your reference to tribeHideRecurrence with hide_upcoming … does that help at all?

[marcjulia]

Thanks for the quick reply. I understand your support policy for customizations, I agree… but maybe this should come in as a default option. I can’t see the point to get all recurrent events on search results, but sure, maybe it will be useful for someone else.
Still not working though, I’ll let you know if I find a working solution.

Definitely.

There are actually a couple of things at play: one is that I was wrong (apologies!) and the query var is indeed tribeHideRecurrence. The other is that the logic which makes use of this will not actually run in the context of a search query.

You may be able to trigger it to do so, though, by setting an additional property of the query object:

add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'search_loop_control_recurring_events' );

function search_loop_control_recurring_events( WP_Query $query ) {
	if ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
		if ( $query->is_search ) {
			$query->set( 'tribeHideRecurrence', true );
			$query->tribe_is_multi_posttype = true;
		}
	}
}

Does that help you out here at all?

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
