Multiple search boxes on one site

Try it with this: https://pastebin.com/a2vPrSk2
I’ve commented my contributions with // my code

That works like a treat. Thank you very much for all you help with this.

Do you think this plugin would be worth submitting. From what I could see there wasn’t anything out there that did what this does… but I may be wrong.

I would test it more thoroughly before submitting. and maybe change this

// my code 1
add_filter('pre_get_posts', array($this,'mySearchFilter'));

to:

// my code 1
if(isset($_GET['post_type']) && $_GET['post_type']) {
add_filter('pre_get_posts', array($this,'mySearchFilter'));
}

So you would only add a filter to the query when there was a $_GET[‘post_type’] submitted.

I would also prefix it so you don’t confllict with other plugins widgets: “post_type” to “spt_post_type”.

This is awesome. I have been looking to do the exact same thing. Did you submit this plugin? I would love to use it.

Maybe this plugin helps
