Custom Post Types Missing from Archive

Anonymous

#48942

Sooooo,

I’ve just setup a search archive (search.php), and have added it to my search parameters to ensure that custom post types are included using the following code:

// Add Custom Post Types to archives

	add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', function( \WP_Query $query ) {

	    if ( $query->is_tag() || $query->is_category() || $query->is_author() || $query->is_page_template( 'search.php' ) && $query->is_main_query() ) {

	    	$meta_query = array(
	    		'relation' => 'OR',
	    		array(
					'key'     => 'radix_status',
					'value'   => 'value1',
					'compare' => '==',
				),
				array(
					'key'     => 'radix_status',
					'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS',
				)
			);

			$query->set( 'post_type', array('post', 'news', 'work', 'events', 'nav_menu_item') );
			$query->set( 'order', 'DESC' );
			$query->set( 'meta_query', $meta_query );

	    }

	} );

But I’ve clearly done something wrong in setting this up, because it’s not working as intended.

I have two issues with it thus far:

1. Custom Post Types aren’t being displayed. They’re listed in the counts, but not showing up in the actual page content.

2. The title of the page refuses to change. I’ve tried the recommended code:

// Edit Search Title 

add_filter('wp_title','search_form_title');

	function search_form_title($title){

	 global $searchandfilter;

	 if ( $searchandfilter->active_sfid() == 451)
	 {
	 return 'Search Results';
	 }
	 else
	 {
	 return $title;
	 }

	}

But it still just says “Opinion” – somehow I’ve got it stuck on JUST that post type?!

Any ideas what I’ve done wrong. I’ve been looking and looking but can’t quite twig.

Apologies. Link to the search page: http://radix.org.uk/search/

I think Ross will need to cast his eyes over your code. I have assigned this to him to answer when he has a free minute.

Thanks, Trevor!

My code above seems to be causing issues. When removed the custom post types appear just fine! Will have to look into other ways of achieving what this code did for me.

Is this (sort of) resolved for now?

It is. This seems to be a theme conflict rather than the plugin’s doing. I have it working on my test site, so I’d imagine it’s something to do with the templates/hierarchy loading the POSTS page, rather than the search page. Either way, I’ll figure it out 🙂

Thanks for your help!
