Ajax Search

Hi Grant,

You can control the post types for ajax search by going to Theme Options > Header Options > Scroll to: ‘Search context’. Select the input to the right and add or remove post types as required.

If you’d like to exclude specific pages / posts from being returned in any of your search results you’ll need to install a plugin. There are many available for free in the WordPress plugin repository but this one may be of use you you https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-exclude/.

Thanks,

Kieran

Hi Grant,

No worries at all, it happens to the best of us! I shall try to have as much fun as one can when stuck in a hotel because of a gas leak during an ice storm lol. But seriously thank you very much, Merry Christmas to you and yours.

All the best,

Kieran.

Hi Grant,

Unfortunately it was no joke! We have a Christmas curse in our family.

With regards to your question you should able to use the snippet provided from this article in your KLEO Child theme’s functions.php file to hide members from your search results https://archived.seventhqueen.com/kleo/article/hide-admin-members-directory.

add_action('bp_ajax_querystring','sq7_radu_exclude_users',20,2);
 
function sq7_radu_exclude_users($qs=false,$object=false){
    //list of users to exclude
 
    $excluded_user = '1';//comma separated ids of users whom you want to exclude
 
    if($object!='members')//hide for members only
        return $qs;
 
    $args=wp_parse_args($qs);
 
    //check if we are searching for friends list etc?, do not exclude in this case
    if(!empty($args['user_id'])||!empty($args['search_terms']))
        return $qs;
 
    if(!empty($args['exclude']))
        $args['exclude']=$args['exclude'].','.$excluded_user;
    else
        $args['exclude']=$excluded_user;
 
    $qs=build_query($args);
 
 
    return $qs;
 
}

You will need to change the line that states $excluded_user = ‘1’ to suit your needs. If you need to hide more than one you can do this by using comma separated values in the same line mentioned above $excluded_user = ‘1, 19, 42’.

Thanks,

Kieran

Hi Grant,

I will refer this ticket to one of our developers to look into this for you. They’ll be in touch as soon as they can, Monday to Friday, East European Time.

I managed to get back home with the heating fixed just in time for -22° C temps, fingers crossed for an uneventful new year, hope you and yours have a great new year.

All the best,

Kieran.

Hi,

So while using short code you can set the search context like this

[kleo_search_form context="members,groups,post,page,product,portfolio"]

IF you want to hide member results just delete the members,

If you are talking about the ajax menu search the context it can be controlled from wp-admin -> theme options -> header options -> search context

Let me know

Cheers
