    Hi!
    I looking for a testimonials slider in my homepage and your plugin seems great! However, I do not want to have individual pages for each testimonial, which I believe can be accomplished by hiding this content post type from search results.
    Something like this, added to my child theme functions.php:

    function modify_testimonials() {
    if ( post_type_exists( 'testimonial' ) ) {

        global $wp_post_types, $wp_rewrite;
        $wp_post_types['testimonial']->exclude_from_search = true;
    }
}
add_action( 'init', 'modify_testimonials', 1 );

    However, I do not know the name of this post_type (testimonial doesn’t work)… Could anyone help me?
    Many thanks!

    Hey solosimar!

    You have the post type right (testimonial) — are you sure the above code is what you need to do?

    I can look into adding this as an option inside the plugin, in a future release.

    Thanks!
    Richard

    Hi, Richard!
    I got the code from wordpress.stackexchange.com and adapted to my needs. I tested it with a custom post type and even with WP core pages and it worked… that’s why I thought I wasn’t getting the name right 🙂

    Hi,
    Just to let you know I figured out how to accomplish this, using a tip I found here http://www.webtipblog.com/modify-wordpress-custom-post-type-configuration-registered/:

    // functions.php

add_action( 'init', 'updateSidebarsPostType', 99 );

/**
* updateSidebarsPostType
*
* @author  Joe Sexton <joe@webtipblog.com>
*/
function updateSidebarsPostType() {
    global $wp_post_types, $wp_rewrite;

    if ( post_type_exists( 'multiple-sidebars' ) ) {

        // exclude from search results
        $wp_post_types['multiple-sidebars']->exclude_from_search = true;
    }
}
