[Resolved] Want to restrict Search Results By Category and custom type posts

[Huseyin]

Hi Generate Press Team,

Want to restrict Search Results By Category and custom type posts. Basically want to only have 4-6 post categories searchable on site and want to disable the rest + custom type posts too.

Thanks

Hi there,

Are you referring to the navigation search?

If so this should help:

Let me know 🙂

Hi Leo,

Sorry for don’t being clear enough, yes I’m referring to navigation search.

Wondering which part of the code do I need to edit out? to restrict

Hi there,

Personally, I would go with a search plugin. Something like Relevanssi gives you complete control over what gets searched. There are quite a few of them out there.

This way it will apply to the entire search query on your site, not just the navigation search.

Thanks for your recommendation Tom
