Limit search to specific categories of wordpress
January 23, 2009 · Print This Article
If for some reason, you’d like to exclude some categories from searches, you have to tweak WordPress a bit because there’s no built-in solution to this problem.
Happilly, here’s a code to do that job.
Replace the categories IDs on line 3 and paste the following code on your search.php template:
<?php if( is_search() ) :
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("s=$s&paged=$paged&cat=1,2,3");
endif; ?>
