[Resolved] Home default search results

Hi,

I have a question regarding this site:

hidden link

On the home page, before any search is made using the filters on the left-hand side, all of the existing posts appear on the table. Since I intend to create hundreds of entries, I would like to limit the number of entries that appear on the table when the user enters the site.

Could it be possible to insert a custom field for featured posts and then, on the home page, only show those featured posts?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Daniel

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - if you do not want to display all results you can add pagination to your view.

More info:

And if you want to make few post featured as you described in your initial query, you can do that as well, you should create a custom field that will hold the status that post is featured or not, maybe checkbox field and later add custom field filter for this checkbox field to display the records.

I don't see the query filter option.

I am in the View Edit page. See screenshot attached.

I am not sure if you understand what I mean: I want that when the user enters the home page, only the featured posts appear by default, but when user changes the search options and clicks on the Search button to find the posts he wishes, the result should match the filters selected.

So filter for the featured posts should only be temporary until the user makes a search.

I hope I made myself clear.

Thanks

Yes - its possible but I need information that which field need to be use to check if post is featured post or not?

OK. The field is "Destacada" and it is checkbox field.
thanks

Well - I tried to add following code to your current theme's functions.php file but it says there is no write permission granted.

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_query', 'func_show_only_featured_posts', 10, 3 );
function func_show_only_featured_posts( $query_args, $view_settings, $view_id ) {
    if($view_id == 137) {
		if(is_front_page() and !isset($_GET['wpv_view_count'])) {
			$query_args['meta_query'][] = array(
				'key'     => 'wpcf-destacada',
				'compare' => 'EXISTS',
			);
		}
    }
    return $query_args;
}

Could you please try to add above code to your current theme's functions.php file and check on home page you see only featured posts now.

I am not sure where I should insert the code you provide.

Please see screenshot attached. Is it ok if I insert the code after "<?php" line and click on "Update"?

Thanks
Daniel

You should try to add the shared code to your current theme's functions.php file at bottom of the file before PHP tag ends (if it's there)
