I used some code from another thread to add a sidebar to single product pages in my template layout. I inserted the code into my child theme functions.php file and it worked great. The only issue is it now creates an “invalid post type” error when searching products in the dashboard. The first search after you refresh will work and then subsequent searches produce the error. I tested it by removing the code and the product search mechanism works fine.

Please advise. Thank you.

Hi There,

Please find this code:

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

And change to this:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_search' );
function custom_search( $query ) {

	if(is_admin()){
		return $query;
	}

    if ($query->is_main_query() && $query->is_search ) {
        $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'product' ) );
    }

    return $query;
}

Hope it helps 🙂
