    Hi

    Apologies for asking what would appear to be a obvious question. However I have been trying to find out what type of post Events Manager stores each created listing/event.

    I have recently switched themes from a WordPress to a PremiumPress theme and my search no-longer returns entries from Events Manager. I have been told that this is because my new theme only searches post_types: Pages and Blog Posts (and it’s own listings). I currently have my settings to display events as pages, does this mean that the post_type is page?

    Any help to clarify this would be really appreciated.
    Thank you Val

    Hi Val,

    No matter how your theme works, events in Events Manager are always a custom post type called event.

    Here’s some code that you can put in the functions.php file of your theme. It should restore events to your search function.

    function filter_search($query) {
    if ($query->is_search) {
	$query->set('post_type', array('post', 'page', 'event'));
    };
    return $query;
};
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'filter_search');

    If your theme uses other posts types, you’ll need to add them to the array in the third line of that snippet.

    Hi Val,
    I’m using events manager, but also using Relevanssi for search, which will search custom post types and is a bit more powerful than standard search
