I have a custom post type, photo
, and need to search for photos matching the title or description with the search keyword with various criteria: contains LIKE %$search_term%
, starts with LIKE $search_term%
etc. I have the following query, but this doesn't filter records according to $search_term
. Please direct me to the right direction to embed this requirement with this query.
$search_term = $_GET['term'];
$search_criteria = $_GET['type'];
$loop = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'photo',
'posts_per_page' => 12,
'orderby'=> 'post_date'
));
Please be nice with me, I am a newbie in Wordpress and don't even know if I am asking a foolish question. But I am really stuck with it and need a solution. Any help will be appreciated a lot. Thank you everybody.
Add the "s" key to your existing arguments array:
$loop = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'photo',
'posts_per_page' => 12,
'orderby' => 'post_date',
's' => 'search_term'
));
Documentation can be found at: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Search_Parameter
Pass your search string here example like this ( 's'=>'test' )
<?php
/*pass your search string here example like this ( 's'=>'test' ) */
$args=array('s'=>'test','order'=> 'DESC', 'posts_per_page'=>get_option('posts_per_page'));
$query=new WP_Query($args);
if( $query->have_posts()):
while( $query->have_posts()): $query->the_post();
{
echo $post->post_title;
echo $post->post_content;
}
endwhile;
else:
endif;
?>
