Why Exclude Items from WordPress Search?

The default WordPress search shows results from all WordPress posts, pages, and custom post types, which works for most sites.

However, if you’re running an online store, then there are some pages you may not want to include in the search results. For example, you’d likely want to exclude the checkout page and cart page from search.

Similarly, if you’re running a WordPress membership website or selling online courses, then there are pages and custom post types you may want to exclude from the search results.

Some WordPress website owners may want to hide a category or tag archive page, while others may want to hide posts written by specific authors. By excluding unnecessary items from the search results you can offer a better user experience and help visitors find what they’re looking for.

That being said, let’s take a look at how to easily exclude items from WordPress search.

Note: In this guide we’ll show you how to exclude content from your website’s search results. However, this content will still show up in the search engines. If you want to stop search engines from indexing a page, then check out our guide on how to hide a WordPress page from Google.

Install and Setup the SearchWP WordPress Plugin

The easiest way to exclude pages, authors, categories, taxonomies, tags, and more is by using the SearchWP plugin. It’s the best WordPress search plugin used by over 30,000 sites.

It’s very beginner friendly and lets you improve WordPress search to provide more helpful and relevant results.

You can use this plugin to exclude entire content types from the search results, such as all your pages. You can also use it to exclude specific pages, posts, and custom post types using an extension.

The first thing you need to do is install and activate the plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, head over to Settings » SearchWP and then click on ‘License.’

Then, you need to enter your license key into the ‘License’ box and click the ‘Activate’ button. You’ll find this information in your SearchWP account.

Next, it’s time to configure your initial search engine settings. This is similar to creating a Google search algorithm that’s only for your WordPress blog.

To get started, click on the ‘Engines’ tab.

You need to create a sitewide search engine before you can start excluding pages, posts, authors, and more from search.

On this screen you’ll see a section for each content type that SearchWP includes in its results by default.

Every section has its own Applicable Attribute Relevance sliders that control how the search engine will rank your site’s content.

For example, if you want a post’s content to carry less relevancy than its title, slug, or excerpt, then you would need to drag the ‘Content’ slider to the left.

At this point, you can exclude entire content types from the search results, such as all pages, posts, and custom post type.

For example, most WordPress blogs have a few pages such as a contact form or homepage. In this case, you may want to exclude all pages from search so that only blog posts show up in the search results.

To do this, simply click the ‘Sources & Settings’ button.

This opens a popup where you can uncheck the content that you want to exclude from WordPress search.

Once you’ve done that, click on the ‘Done’ button.

Exclude all pages, posts, or custom post types

When you’re happy with how the search engine is setup, go ahead and click the ‘Save Engines’ button to create your first search engine.

Now, the excluded content will never show up in the search results.

Exclude Specific Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types from WordPress Search

Once you’ve created an initial search engine, you can exclude specific posts, pages, and custom post types from the WordPress search results using the Exclude UI extension.

Simply log into your SearchWP account and go to the Exclude UI download page. Here, click the ‘Download Extension’ button.

You can now install and activate the extension the same way you installed the SearchWP plugin above.

Next, open up the post, page, or custom post type that you want to exclude from the WordPress search results.

If you’re excluding a single post, then make sure the ‘Post’ option is selected in the right hand menu, then check the ‘Exclude from search’ box.

Make sure to click ‘Update’ to save your changes.

You can also exclude specific pages and custom post types following the same process described above. The only difference is the right hand menu will say ‘Page’, or the name of the custom post type, instead of ‘Post’.

Exclude Specific Categories, Tags, and Custom Taxonomies From WordPress Search

You can also exclude specific categories, tags, and other custom taxonomies from the WordPress search results.

For example there might be some tags that you use to organize and manage your content in the WordPress dashboard. Since these tags are just for your reference, you’ll want to exclude them from the search results.

To do this, simply go to Settings » SearchWP and then click the ‘Edit Rules’ button in the ‘Posts’ section.

This opens a popup where you can edit the search engine rules.

Simply click the ‘Add Rule’ button to create your first rule.

To exclude a specific category, select ‘Exclude entries if:’ in the first dropdown, and then type your category name into the empty box. You can also type in custom taxonomies to exclude them as well.

Then, click the ‘Done’ button.

To exclude specific post tags from the search results, simply open the first dropdown menu and select ‘Tags.’

Then, type the name of your tag in the empty box, and click ‘Done’.

To add another rule, simply click the ‘Add Rule’ button again.

Once you’re finished customizing your rules, make sure you click the ‘Save Engines’ button to update your search engine.

Now, when visitors search your WordPress website, SearchWP will exclude all the selected categories, tags, or custom taxonomies from its search results.

Exclude Specific Author Posts From WordPress Search

If you have a multi-author blog, then you may want to exclude specific authors from the search results. For example, you might exclude an author’s post if they’re no longer writing for your website, or if they only have a few posts.

You can exclude all the posts created by a specific author by adding code to your website. If you haven’t done this before, then see our beginner’s guide to pasting snippets from the web into WordPress.

Often you’ll find code snippets in WordPress tutorials with instructions to add them into your theme’s functions.php file or a site-specific plugin.

The biggest problem is that even a tiny mistake in the custom code snippet can break your WordPress site or even make it inaccessible.

Luckily, there is an easier way for users to add and manage custom code snippets.

WPCode is the most popular code snippets plugin used by over 1 million websites. It makes it easy to add code snippets without having to edit functions.php in your WordPress theme.

The first thing you need to do is install and activate WPCode. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, click on ‘Code Snippets’ in the admin bar and then select ‘Add New.’

The WPCode code snippets plugin for WordPress

This will bring you to the ‘Add Snippet’ page. Here you can choose a code snippet from the pre-made library or add your custom code.

Since we want to add custom code, hover over ‘Add Your Custom Code (New Snippet)’ and then click on the ‘Use snippet’ button when it appears.

In the ‘Add title for snippet’ field, type in a name for the snippet.

This is just for your reference so you can use anything you want.

Adding a title to a custom WordPress code snippet

Next, open the ‘Code Type’ dropdown and select ‘PHP,’ since we’re adding a custom PHP code snippet.

After that, you can go ahead and paste the following snippet into the code box:

<?php
function wpb_search_filter( $query ) {
  if ( $query->is_search && !is_admin() )
    $query->set( 'author','-24' );
  return $query;
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpb_search_filter' ); ?>

You’ll need to replace ’24’ with the user ID of the author you want to exclude. If you need help finding the user ID, then see our guide on how to find IDs in WordPress.

You can also exclude multiple authors from the search results by adding their user IDs separated by a comma.

<?php
function wpb_search_filter( $query ) {
  if ( $query->is_search && !is_admin() )
    $query->set( 'author','-24, -12, -19' );
  return $query;
}
add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpb_search_filter' ); ?>

Below the code box, you will see insertion options. There are two main insertion options: Auto Insert and Shortcode (Default).

You’ll want to choose the ‘Auto Insert’ method, so that WPCode automatically inserts and executes the code across your entire site.

Auto inserting a custom WordPress code snippet

You can also assign tags to your code snippet. This will help you sort your code snippets by topic and functionality.

When you’re happy with how the snippet is set up, scroll to the top of the screen and click on ‘Save Snippet.’

Finally, you can make the code snippet live on your site by clicking the ‘Active’ toggle.

Don’t forget to save this change by clicking on ‘Update.’

Activating a custom code snippet in WordPress

Now, the author will be excluded from the WordPress search results.
