    Hi,

    I have a post with the title “Lorem ipsum” and it’s slug is “lorem-ipsum”.
    In order to be able to make a particular layout for it, I made a specific page “Lorem ipsum” where I call and display the post. The page has the same slug: “lorem-ipsum”. I put the link to the page into the navbar and everything is fine, except that both appear on the search results page.
    Is there a method to exclude page from search query, given that the page content is loaded anyway when the link is visited?

    Hey there!??

    When you say “search results” page, you mean your own website’s search function, right?

    You can try using the plugin Search Exclude:

    You can easily exclude specific posts or pages from the search results of your website, by just checking this:

    I’ve tested it on latest WordPress version and it works great!

    Give it a try, I’m pretty sure this will help you!

    Hi Panos,

    Thank you for your help, it’s a great idea, I will try it.
    In the mean time I modified the code manually, adding a condition after
    “while ( have_posts() ) :”
    “if( get_post_type() === ‘post’ ) {”
    But it seems that your solution is more flexible, thank you!
