Hi,

I need to exclude a custom post type from the standard wordpress search. How can I do that?

Thank you,

Hi Adrian,

Thank you for getting in touch.

There is an exclude from search option on the post type when you go to Toolset -> Post Types and edit your custom post type.

Scroll to Options section and ensure that exclude_from_search is checked.

Once you've done this then the post type will be excluded from the wordpress default search.

Thanks,
Shane
