Search for featured image for post shows no results

[feimineach]

Hi there

Can anyone advise on this issue? When I search for a featured image for my post (using the regular WP featured image window and search function), the search does not find any images. I know the images are there in my media library, and they are found when I am using any other theme, but not oldcar.

Thank you.

Hi

I found the solution here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14940004/search-by-file-name-in-the-media-library

You can try it.

Thanks!

Hi there

Thank you so ,much for your response but I am not at all familiar with WP coding etc. so I wouldn’t be able to implement the suggestion above. Is there any other advice? Without the basic featured image search function when compiling a post, the theme is alas unusable for me.

Thanks.

Hi

Just put the following code into theme-functions.php file. Or you can post your wordpress login details with private reply, I will help you to do that.

add_filter( 'posts_search', 'guid_search_so_14940004', 10, 2 );

function guid_search_so_14940004( $search, $a_wp_query ) 
{
    global $wpdb, $pagenow;

    // Only Admin side && Only Media Library page
    if ( !is_admin() && 'upload.php' != $pagenow ) 
        return $search;

    // Original search string:
    // AND (((wp_posts.post_title LIKE '%search-string%') OR (wp_posts.post_content LIKE '%search-string%')))
    $search = str_replace(
        'AND ((', 
        'AND (((' . $wpdb->prefix . 'posts.guid LIKE \'%' . $_GET['s'] . '%\') OR ', 
        $search
    ); 

    return $search;
}

Thanks

Fixed.

The solution:

I changed

  add_filter('pre_get_posts','van_searchFilter');

to

if(!is_admin()){
  add_filter('pre_get_posts','van_searchFilter');
}

This code is in the includes/theme-functions.php

Thanks

Johnny, thanks a million. I’m delighted this that my search is working now. It was a dealbreaker (and OldCar is my favourite theme).

Thanks again.

Hi

Done, please check.

Johnny, once again, thank you!

All working perfectly again! I have copied the code this time and made a note of how to do it.

Thanks again!
