Search Results for PODS only Shows Post Title & CONTINUE READING

    Hi,

    Using a plugin or the “search_metadata()” function you can make standard wordpress search PODS custom fields.

    My issue is with the search results only containing the title followed by “CONTINUE READING“.

    I thought the code from “here” and “here” was the solution for this but the function is not called UNTIL you click on search results and even then the is_search() and is_pod() is never true.

    I have seen other code for “the_excerpt” but I’m guessing that is just a variation on this code (both post content & excerpt are supposed to display in the results”.

    To clarify, I have no post content or excerpt (although I have tried the latter), I wish to dynamically generate the text for the excerpt or whatever displays. Otherwise, I’ll have to fill in the excerpt when saving the pod.

    Anyone got this working?

    Did you check whether you are actually in a look? These “is_##” functions only work inside the loop. It could be a theme issue if it uses the loop differently in a search page.

    it could also be thet the_content or the_excerpt is not used.

    Cheers, Jory

    @keraweb Thanks for the response.

    I’m assuming “loop”, the code was from your PODs website. In any case I got it working just not the way I wanted:

    Add Excerpt to pod supports.

    Copied and modified code to fix it’s issues (possibly also on your website) to programmatically fill in the Excerpt field after the pod is saved:

    e.g. WordPress won’t let me insert code (by keyboard or mouse).
