search for events

[proweb]

Hello,

I use events calendar pro. I can not search for events at the standard search field on the wordpress front page. Is there a special search for events? Can the standard search function be used to search for events?

Thanks!
Martin

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. By default in WordPress Custom Post Types are not included in the search.

This coding here may work for you if your theme uses the standard WordPress Search:

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

Add that to your theme’s function.php

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks

Since I haven’t heard back from you here, I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread. Feel free to start a new thread if you have further issues. Thanks! 🙂
