Exclude Category from KLEO Ajax Search

[proteus]

Hello.

As the title suggests, is there any way to exclude an entire category and any posts under that category from the ajax search function if the current user has a certain role ‘testman’.

Kind Regards

Hi,

Add this function to wp-content/themes/buddyapp-child/functions.php

COPY CODE

function sq7_altering_ajax_search($defaults){

    $defaults['cat'] = '-20';

}
apply_filters( 'kleo_ajax_query_args', 'sq7_altering_ajax_search');

20 represents category ID and minus sign represents remove.

Hello I tried this and it did not work. The results in the top search bar still return a list of posts from the category that I do not want visible.

Below is what I have added to the child theme functions.php file.

I have attached an image.

COPY CODE

/**
	* EXCLUDE INTRAHUB CATEGORY FROM SEARCH AJAX EXCEPT FOR USERS THAT ARE ADMINS OR PROTEUS
*/ 

function sq7_altering_ajax_search($defaults){
	if ( current_user_can('proteus') || ! $query->is_main_query() ) {
		return;
	} else { 
		$defaults['cat'] = '-1230';
	}
}

apply_filters( 'kleo_ajax_query_args', 'sq7_altering_ajax_search');

/**
	* EXCLUDE INTRAHUB CATEGORY FROM SEARCH EXCEPT FOR USERS THAT ARE ADMINS OR PROTEUS
*/ 
function wcs_exclude_category_search( $query ) {
  if ( current_user_can('proteus') || ! $query->is_main_query() )
    return;

  if ( $query->is_search ) {
    $query->set( 'cat', '-1230' );
  }

}

Hi,

Use this snippet instead, it should work just i’ve tested

COPY CODE

function sq7_altering_ajax_search($defaults){
    $defaults['cat'] = '-20';
    return $defaults;
}
add_filter( 'kleo_ajax_query_args', 'sq7_altering_ajax_search');
