Hello @wpcoworker !

When you replied, I checked out XML sitemap again and I can’t find tags anywhere. I uploaded the XML sitemap to Google Search Console again and I also have tags disabled in Yoast plugin. I checked the site:moj-bazen.si on Google again, and tags are still there. I even went to Remove tab in Google Search Console and disabled all links that start with https://moj-bazen.si/oznaka-izdelka/ , which is just /tags/. It was confirmed, but the tags are still there.

Creating a redirect won’t be a problem, but I don’t want /tags/ to be visible anywhere at all.

Kind regards

Hi @wpcoworker .

That’s exactly what’s bothering me – I re-submitted the sitemap 3 times already since I deleted tags and fixed sitemap. I can’t find tags anywhere in the sitemap, but they still appear on Google.

Hello again!

Sorry for the late reply. I tried it on my staging website. I disabled all plugins except WooCommerce and changed the theme to Twenty Twenty-Two. The only code in functions.php is this:

/*		Change search page slug.		*/

function wpb_change_search_url() {
    if ( is_search() && ! empty( $_GET['s'] ) ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url( "/search/" ) . urlencode( get_query_var( 's' ) ) . '/?post_type=product' );
        exit();
    }   
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wpb_change_search_url' );

//enable /search/ path for products
function custom_rewrite_rule() {
    add_rewrite_rule('^search\/([^/]*)\/?','index.php?post_type=product&s=$matches[1]','top');
}
add_action('init', 'custom_rewrite_rule', 10, 0 );

Then, I went to settings, permalinks and just saved, without changing anything there. Went to the website and tried searching for something and still got /search/sesalnik/?post_type=product

Kind regards and thank you very much for your time!

Hello again.

I don’t know why my results would be different. I tried clearing cache, I replaced this code

/*		Change search page slug.		*/

function wpb_change_search_url() {
    if ( is_search() && ! empty( $_GET['s'] ) ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url( "/search/" ) . urlencode( get_query_var( 's' ) ) . '/?post_type=product' );
        exit();
    }   
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wpb_change_search_url' );

With

//enable /search/ path for products
function custom_rewrite_rule() {
    add_rewrite_rule('^search\/([^/]*)\/?','index.php?post_type=product&s=$matches[1]','top');
}
add_action('init', 'custom_rewrite_rule', 10, 0 );

and it returned back to default ?s=[searchterm]&post_type=product. I tried adding your code under the code I had before after that, like this

/*		Change search page slug.		*/

function wpb_change_search_url() {
    if ( is_search() && ! empty( $_GET['s'] ) ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url( "/search/" ) . urlencode( get_query_var( 's' ) ) . '/?post_type=product' );
        exit();
    }   
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wpb_change_search_url' );

//enable /search/ path for products
function custom_rewrite_rule() {
    add_rewrite_rule('^search\/([^/]*)\/?','index.php?post_type=product&s=$matches[1]','top');
}
add_action('init', 'custom_rewrite_rule', 10, 0 );

It just displayed the normal /search/[searchterm]/?post_type=product, and nothing changes. The code works to the part that it atleast shows the /search/[searchterm]/?post_type=product instead of /?s=, but ideally in my case would be /iskanje/[searchterm]

I really didn’t expect changing the URL would be such a difficult issue ??

Hello @bcworkz !

Thank you for your reply. I removed my code and added

function custom_rewrite_rule() {
    add_rewrite_rule('^search/([^/]*)/?','index.php?post_type=product&s=$matches[1]','top');
}
add_action('init', 'custom_rewrite_rule', 10, 0 );

After I added the code and flushed the permalinks, everything looked like it was originally. I also tried the same code in regexr.com, except that I changed it a bit, just like you said. I changed it to:

function custom_rewrite_rule() { add_rewrite_rule('search\/([^/]*)\/?','index.php?post_type=product&s=$matches[1]','top');}add_action('init', 'custom_rewrite_rule', 10, 0 )

Everything is green/yellow in the explain tab in tools. What do I do now?

Right. I checked the add_rewrite_rule() link you added and regexr.com. Like I said, sadly I don’t have any experience with PHP coding yet, so I don’t know what I’m searching for exactly. I was checking out plugins, but couldn’t find any that would allow me to do this. When you said that the challenge would be coming up with a regexp that matches /search/ requests without matching others, what did you mean by that?

I changed the code to:

/*		Change search page slug.		*/
 
function wpb_change_search_url() {
    if ( is_search() && ! empty( $_GET['s'] ) ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url( "/search/" ) . urlencode( get_query_var( 's' ) ) . '/?post_type=product' );
        exit();
    }   
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wpb_change_search_url' );

Now the URL looks a bit better, but I still can’t manage to translate the /search/ to /iskanje/ and I would still need to remove the post_type=product from the URL.

Hi @bcworkz !

No, I don’t want the actual URL to display the post type, I just want it to search for the products. Yeah, I have practically no PHP coding skills, so there’s that.

Kind regards and thank you

Hi @bcworkz !

Thank you for your reply. I understand what you mean. No, I don’t need or want blog search functionality, I need the search to only find products, but sadly, I don’t know what to change or add in the code to do that. Is it the get_query_var (‘s’) part in the third line?

Kind regards

Hi @gappiah !

Thank you for your reply. I tried it, now my code looks like this:

/**
* Change search page slug.
*/
 
function wpb_change_search_url() {
    if ( is_search() && ! empty( $_GET['s'] ) ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url( "/search/" ) . urlencode( get_query_var( 's' ) ) );
        exit();
    }   
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wpb_change_search_url' );

function re_rewrite_rules() {
global $wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->search_base = ‘iskanje’;
$wp_rewrite->pagination_base = ‘stran’;
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}
add_action(‘init’, ‘re_rewrite_rules’);

However, the Allewar’s part that I added doesn’t do anything for me. It still just changes the URL to /search/. It still changes the layout of the products, which I don’t want. If you want to check, here’s the /search/%C4%8Drpalka link.

Kind regards

Just for information – I managed to fix it. The problem was that I was trying to align the wrong element. I had to edit the article#post to actually get it to work.

Kind regards

Okay, it’s pretty clear that we didn’t understand eachother, but thanks for attempting to help! The problem was the gap between actual categories, which I fixed with margin: 0 !important.

Kind regards

Hi @csnlima !

Thank you for your reply.

I’ll make myself more clear – The shop is displaying exactly what I want – categories and products. What I want is to put a border / divider between the actual categories and products (like a line between them) or something like that.

I tried using CSS to create a border on the bottom of categories, however, since they are not physically connected, there are gaps in the border, which I don’t want.

Kind regards

Hi @apurbajnu .

Currently I can’t write another request there, because when I open the link, it tells me that the site encountered a critial error. Besides, I already wrote a ticket there, asking for an email I could use to give you access.

Kind regards

Tried it again. Sends me to the homepage again. I did go and check Redirections plugin and found this in 404 tab: Screenshot

Kind regards
