Search protected pages?

Hi,

First a big thanks for your nice post script ??

This is a missed functionality, I will add this to dev version as soon as I get time and later I will make it official.
Will keep you posted.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Sumit,

Thank you for your reply! I appreciate you making the time.

I’ve actually found a work around using a two different plugins. But if you update it, I’d be happy to support it, as yours is much more intuitive.

Hi Sumit,

I just wanted to note the code that I added via a plugin called “My Custom Functions”. This, combined with the below code, allowed the searching of protected pages with wordpress, only your plugin seemed to conflict with this, so I had to use something else. I know zero about coding but thought I’d share this in case it’s useful.

// include password protected pages in search results

add_filter( ‘posts_search’, ‘include_password_posts_in_search’ );
function include_password_posts_in_search( $search ) {
global $wpdb;
if( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
$pattern = ” AND ({$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_password = ”)”;
$search = str_replace( $pattern, ”, $search );
}
return $search;
}

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed reply!

I am sorry I did not get your request at first. You want password protected pages to show up even when user is not logged-in then this code is fine just increase the priority of filter you are adding.
I mean instead of this line


add_filter( ‘posts_search’, ‘include_password_posts_in_search’ );


use this


add_filter( 'posts_search', 'include_password_posts_in_search', 501 );


Thank you!
