Site Search and Past Events

    Hi,

    Can anyone help? My site search brings up past events and I don’t know how to exclude them. Either that or I’ll have to turn off search for events altogether which I don’t really want to do. Anyone had the same problem and resolved it?

    Thanks
    Jen

    hi,

    you can try this snippet 

    
function SearchFilter($query) {
    if ($query->is_search) {
        $query->set('meta_key','_event_start_date');
        $query->set('meta_query', array(
                      array('key'=>'_event_start_date'),
                      array('key' => '_event_end_date', 'value' => date('Y-m-d'), 'compare' => '>=', 'type' => 'DATE')
                    ));
    }
    return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts','SearchFilter');

    Hi,

    Thank for the code – and so sorry it’s taken me so long to respond!

    I’ve added the code to the function php file of my child theme – now my site search returns no results at all though (events or otherwise). Any thoughts?

    Thanks
    Jenny
