Remove events from WP search

[Donna]

How do I remove events from showing up in the regular WP search? Right now when visitors do a search tons of past events show up before posts and pages making the search useless. If there’s a way to remove past events only, great otherwise isolating the calendar events to the calendar search only is what I need please. Thanks!

Good evening Donna and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are sorry to hear about the events showing up on your search results if this is not what you intended.
I would love to help you with this topic.

There are a couple of ways to go about this:

1. Use a code snippet such as the one suggested here: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/want-to-remove-events-on-calendar-from-search-results/#post-33175
2. Use a search customization plugin such as the ones listed here: http://www.wpbeginner.com/showcase/12-wordpress-search-plugins-to-improve-your-site-search/

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!
