Hi!
Is there any way to get the normal search to also show bbpress forum topics/replies?Customer Support
Hi there,
By normal search, are you referring to the navigation search or WordPress’ search widget?
I can’t speak for the OP, but I’m trying to find the answer for including topics & replies in the navigation search…
Sorry for ghosting, I found something that works for now and got distracted.
My current method is Relevanssi mod, but it feels like it shouldn’t be necessary.
The goal is as Melissa described!
@Simon- I finally got it.
Add the following code to your functions.php
add_filter( 'generate_navigation_search_output', function() { printf( '<form method="get" class="search-form navigation-search" action="%1$s"> <input type="search" class="search-field" value="%2$s" name="s" title="%3$s" /> <input type="hidden" name="post_type[]" value="post" /> <input type="hidden" name="post_type[]" value="topic" /> <input type="hidden" name="post_type[]" value="reply" /> </form>', esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ), esc_attr( get_search_query() ), esc_attr_x( 'Search', 'label', 'generatepress' ) ); } );If you want to make it faster, either comment out or completely remove the reply line:
// <input type="hidden" name="post_type[]" value="reply" />It’s still not superfast having to search all of the topics, particularly if you have a large database.
