Custom post type not showing in "post type" search form UI checkboxes

Hi Thomas

So I’ve found a better way to do this (that can be search form specific).

The code in full (so remove everything else we’ve added:

function filter_input_object_radio($input_object, $sfid){

	if(($input_object['name']!='_sf_post_type')||($input_object['type']!='radio'))
	{
		return $input_object;
	}
	
	if(isset($input_object['options'])){
		//remove the first option from the array
		$removed_option = array_shift($input_object['options']);
	}
	
	//now set the default value in the field
	//make sure we only modify a field belonging to a specific Search Form, by ID
	if($sfid==15485){ //replace 15485 with your search form ID
		//make sure the field is not set
		if(!isset($_GET['post_types'])){
			//then set it to "post"
			$input_object['defaults'] = array("post");
		}
	}
	
	return $input_object;
}

add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'filter_input_object_radio', 10, 2);

function set_default_post_type_query( $query_args, $sfid ) {
	
	//if search form ID = 225, the do something with this query
	if($sfid==15485) //replace 15485 with your search form ID
	{
		//modify $query_args here before returning it
		if(!isset($_GET['post_types'])){
			$query_args['post_type'] = 'post';
		}
	}
	
	return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'set_default_post_type_query', 20, 2 );

The only thing you have to replace is the search form ID of 15485 (there are 2 instances of this) – swap this out to match the ID of the search form on the homepage and it should work 🙂
