[Resolved] WordPress default search vs. Woocommerce Search

[Lihas]

Hi Tom,

I want to display in the WordPress deafult search only posts and I added this code into my function.php file.

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

However, adding the above code has an impact on my woocmmerce search form as the search form in Woocomerce does not display any results.

Can you help me further?

This is the search results of my WordPress default search

http://www.kaufpiraten.de/?s=test

and this of my Woocommerce search result

http://www.kaufpiraten.de/?s=jeans&post_type=product

Thanks.

Hi there,

Give this a shot:

function SearchFilter($query) {
    if ( $query->is_search ) {
        $query->set( 'post_type', 'post' );
    }
    if ( function_exists( 'is_woocommerce' ) ) : 
        if ( $query->is_search && is_woocommerce() ) {
            $query->set( 'post_type', 'product' );
        }
    endif;
    return $query;
 }
add_filter('pre_get_posts','SearchFilter');

Hi Tom,

this did not solved my issue.

The following search is not working, altough I have woocommerce products labeled as jeans in my store.

http://www.kaufpiraten.de/?s=jeans&post_type=product

The default WordPress search is working.

I just tested this without any functions at all and it worked: my-site.com/?s=ninja&post_type=product

If you remove all of the functions above, does it not work?

Hi Tom,

I solved it. I have to add the following condition “&& !is_woocommerce()” in the first if statement. This is the code I have used and it works.

function SearchFilter($query) {
if ( $query->is_search && !is_woocommerce()) {
$query->set( ‘post_type’, ‘post’ );
}
if ( function_exists( ‘is_woocommerce’ ) ) :
if ( $query->is_search && is_woocommerce() ) {
$query->set( ‘post_type’, ‘product’ );
}
endif;
return $query;
}
add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’,’SearchFilter’);

Thanks a lot.

Hi Tom,

this is the right code. Otherwise your search function in the admin area will not deliver any results.

function SearchFilter($query) {
    if ( $query->is_search && !is_woocommerce() && !is_admin()) {
        $query->set( 'post_type', 'post' );
    }
    if ( function_exists( 'is_woocommerce' ) ) : 
        if ( $query->is_search && is_woocommerce() && !is_admin()) {
            $query->set( 'post_type', 'product' );
        }
    endif;
    return $query;
 }
add_filter('pre_get_posts','SearchFilter');
