Hi
How can i exclude category ID 87 in search results? There are some posts that are restricted and can only registered members can view them.
Thank you
Hi,
Try this code snippet in your functions file and add there the category id you want to exclude:
function wcs_exclude_category_search( $query ) {
if ( is_admin() || ! $query->is_main_query() )
return;
if ( $query->is_search ) {
$query->set( 'cat', '-22, -21' );
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'wcs_exclude_category_search', 1 );This is tested so it should work fine for you also.
Thanks
brilliant! Thank you!
Hello Lucian,
I am bringing up his tread one more.
I apologize for my misunderstanding, but where exactly does the category id number has to be placed within the code You provided?
Thank You!
Hello Catalin,
Thanks for the help!
But it doesn’t seem to be working. Maybe I have put the code in the wrong functions.php code line?:

Hello 1234.LV,
If you want to exclude some categories you will have to use the minus symbol before the number.
Thanks.
In the end I added the category’s name.
function exclude_category_from_search($query) {
if ($query->is_search) {
$cat_id = get_cat_ID(‘uncategorized’);
$query->set(‘cat’, ‘-1’);
}
return $query;
}
add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’,’exclude_category_from_search’);
It worked!
Thanks!
