Problem: The client is using WPML and SearchWP on their development site and wants to search for text and return posts in the current language only. However, the search returns posts in all languages. Solution: We recommend modifying the search query to ensure it filters results based on the current language. Here's a step-by-step guide:
// Ensure you have WPML's language set up
$current_language = apply_filters('wpml_current_language', null);
// Arguments for the query
$args = array(
'post_type' => $post_type,
'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'orderby' => $params['orderby'] ?? 'date',
'order' => $params['order'] ?? 'DESC',
's' => $params['search'],
'paged' => $paged,
'suppress_filters' => false,
// This ensures WPML filters are applied
);
// Run the query
$query = new WP_Query($args);
// Use the results as needed
if ($query->have_posts()) {
while ($query->have_posts()) {
$query->the_post();
// Your loop content
}
wp_reset_postdata();
}
