Hi,

Is there a simple solution to show only woocommerce products on the search results?

I have this piece of code:

add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_search' );
function custom_search( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_search ) {
        $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'product' ) );
    }
    return $query;
} 

Which is working fine, but it also affects the backend search results..maybe you have an idea of modifying this to apply only in the frontend?

Thanks..

Cheers
Tim

Hey Tim,

Regretfully, this is outside the scope of our support. Please try using a search plugin like SearchWP. There are also other third party plugins for WooCommerce that can do that. Or, you might want to contact our trusted partners who caters X setup and customization needs. Please see https://community.theme.co/custom-development/

Thank you for understanding.

Hi Christian,

Is this a new policy? In other threads you help customers with this issue far more deeply (back in 2014 & 15) but none of these answers seems to work anymore..

Hi There,

Please update your code to this:

add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_search' );
function custom_search( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_search && !is_admin() ) {
        $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'product' ) );
    }
    return $query;
} 

Hope it helps 🙂
