Removing old posts from search

Hi Ross,
hope you’re doing well.

As usual your plugin is kicking ass no issues with it. Also now making a new horizontal layout.

My question: we have an event post type that is included in our search. I would like (just for the events type) the search plugin not to show results (posts) older than the current date.

There’s a bit of code you can advise me to use for this?

thanks

Hey again 🙂

You can edit the query yourself here:

So you could restrict the date range as per the wordpress docs:

Thanks

I’ll ask a developer to take a look. I’m always impressed by your docs Ross.

Which file I should edit? I mean: I can make this customisation and still have the chance to update the plugin in the future?

thanks

Ah yes, you can add the code to functions.php in your theme like most WP filters 🙂 So of course you are free to update the plugin!

Best

Awesome I’ll take a look at it let’s see if I can do it by myself 🙂

Logic is easy: for post type events show just posts from today on
