Hi,
it is not working like expected. We uploaded a zip and gave this download the category not-in-search-result

So it is in functions.php in child theme like this:

add_action('pre_get_posts', function(&$wpq)
{
    if ($wpq->is_search && $wpq->is_main_query()) {
        $wpq->set('tax_query', array(
            array(
                'taxonomy' => 'dlm_download_category',
                'field' => 'slug',
                // Here you need to put your category slug
                'terms' => array( 'not-in-search-result' ),
                'operator' => 'NOT IN',
            ),
        ),
		);
    }
});

could it be that the parent theme or woocommerce or another plugin is using pre_get_posts and this one above is not called?
Do you have an idea to do it another way or how can we debug that?

Thanks

Hi @flofiwp

This is the most correct way. I think either there is a bug in the code (but as I can see it’s not) or something breaks this rule by another hook call.

May we have a short TeamViewer session so I can check what do you have there? Please write me to Live Chat at https://fulltextsearch.org when you ready.

Hi
please update Addon for Download Monitor with this one
https://fulltextsearch.org/wpfts-addon-download-monitor-1.0.4.zip

I found a tiny issue in the Download Monitor which is a reason why its posts do not shown in search results.

I guess we solved this, thank you, and let me know if you have more questions.

HI,
Thanks a lot. It works now.
Is it possible to show file extension like ZIP, PDF… in search results for files uploaded throuhg download monitor like it is possible for file attachments?

Thanks
Flo

Hi, @flofiwp

Yes, I think it’s possible via the small hook. I will return back to you with a solution soon.

Have a nice weekend.
