Hiding events when using WordPress search

[Shaun]

Hello, I just brought my site, MedicalTraining.cc live! One thing I noticed while checking its functionality on mobile is that when I search for one of the courses we teach, say, CPR, it brings up huge numbers of events and the page related to CPR is buried. Is there anyway to hide events from my site’s search results?

Thanks for any assistance!

Hey Mike 🙂

Congratulations on the new site! If you add the following code to the bottom of your theme’s functions.php file, events should no longer get displayed in your site’s search results. Please try it out and let me know how it works for you. I tested in using the default Twenty Seventeen theme and it worked correctly. Thank you and have a great rest of the day!

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

Perfect solution!

First easy fix I’ve come across. Have a great day!
