[Resolved] search results by date

[manaadiar]

Hi there.. I am using GP Premium.. When I run a search on my site using the nav bar/search icon like so (https://www.shippingandfreightresource.com/?s=los+angeles) I get results but the results are not sorted by date.. Can you let me know how I can give option to users to sort by date, by relevance etc.. This option used to be there, but it doesn’t seem to be there anymore..

Hi there,

Give this PHP snippet a try:

add_filter( 'posts_search_orderby', 'yh_posts_search_orderby', 10, 2 );
function yh_posts_search_orderby($search_orderby) {
	$search_orderby =  'post_date DESC';
	return $search_orderby;
}

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Hi Ying, it works, thanks.. But previously there was an option on the search page where the reader could sort by relevance or my date.. How can I add relevance to this..??

Hum…I don’t think there’s this option from GP, did you use some plugin to add the sorting option?
