Hello,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

From your post I gather that you want to filter for all the posts that don't have a certain value correct? This value will be specified by the shortcode parameters.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

yes, that´s right. Is there a way to do that?

(I was trying to save you some work by not having to read the same thing twice, next time I will be more detailed... 🙂 )

Thank you, regards,

Hello,

No worries, take a look at the screenshot and all that is needed is to set the filter to "different from"

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,

Thank you so far.
Now I want to check in the post title and post content and so I get a different form (see picture).

Hello,

Thank you for the clarity.

In this case no its not possible since its a parametric search.

So its not possible to do it like this, only with static filters.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane

Uuuhh, that´s really a pity...

Is it possible with some php-coding maybe? Could you perhaps give me a hint there?

THANK YOU;

Hello,

If this is the only field that will be on your search then you might be able to do it like this with a custom filter.

Take a look at the link below.
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/filtersearch-by-custom-post-type/

The code in the resolved summary allows you to do a search using a custom filter.

Now you will need to adjust this using a standard wordpress query.

The text that you are filtering for, is it in a custom field ?

Please let me know as this will determine what kind of query will need to use.

Thanks,
Shane

Ok, I will try that, THANK YOU.
Nevertheless, it would be good to be able to search for more fields in that search...

Hi Achim,

Happy I was able to assist you with this.

Please let me know if it works out well.
Thanks,
Shane

So there is no way to search for more fields in that search?

[Shane]

Hello,

I'm not sure what is meant by more fields.

Are you referring to using this search area to search through custom fields ?

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane

[a.R]

Yes, I do.

Hello,

Yes there is. Using the relevanssi plugin it allows you to search through even texts in custom fields.

Please let me know if this helps.

I´m sorry, I think I got you wrong.
What I wanna do is search posts by custom search ,
- by taxonomy filter
- that do NOT! contain a certain text in post title and post body.

All these values should be passed to the custom search by shortcode attribute.

Is that possible?

THANK YOU, and sorry again...

Achim
