Website Search Function not working correctly

Hi,

I commented a while ago regarding the below and had no response that helped to fix my issue.

Website URL - http://www.lblskills.co.uk/

I am having an issue with my navbar not showing the correct pages on the search results pages. Is their anyway i can change/ customise the search results pages to ensure the correct pages are coming up when i search for a phrase?

For example when “Contact us” is searched i want only the contact us page to come up and no other pages. Another example is when i search the term ‘CIH’ or ‘Chartered Institute of Housing’ it doesn’t bring up all of my portfolio pages relating to CIH and i am not sure how to change this. This is just one example of many. And there are other terms where we will search for a portfolio page, which i know is there as ive created it in wordpress (for example, Data protection Act) and it brings up other pages but not the one i wanted?

I had a response previously from the support at Apex saying the below "You can take a look at following tutorial for make changes in search: https://www.daddydesign.com/
…/how-to-search-only-posts-or…/1
"

However, this still hasn’t answered my message unfortunately as i need the portfolio pages to show also? Not just Posts or pages. I need pages & portfolios (in X theme) to show when searching selected criteria, is this possible?

I was then also told that no one here was able to fix my issue but i need a developers help and then i was told to go to the Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/xthemeusers/?ref=br_rs . Which i did just so, received feedback to add a plugin titled Relevanssi and i did this however this still hasn’t fixed the issue at all. I have changed the settings on this plugin so it should only show portfolio pages and nothing else as i wanted it but this still doesn’t seem to be fixing the issue. I have now seen that this Facebook group has now been shut for fixes and we are directed straight back to here for help.

Can someone please help me fix this issue i am having related to this x-theme… I am getting very irritated now that I am going round in circles, I have paid for this support and help and one one seems to be able to help me at all? And all in the mean time months are going by and this issue which is very important for my website is not being fixed.

Thanks.

Hey Shannon,

I understand your frustration. However, X search is only an interface for WordPress’ search algorithm. It is WordPress showing the results and not the theme. The theme is only an interface.

If Relevanssi, does not accomplish what you need, you will need to try other solutions like SearchWP.

Regretfully, this is not something our support staff could help you with as this is not a function of the theme.

Thank you for understanding.
