    Hi,
    how can I disable images from appearing in the search results? Sometimes image names are not something I want to display so openly. e.g. layer-pexels-photo-268487

    Kind regards

    Hi Victoria,
    thanks for replying so quickly.
    I was referring to the site search of the theme: if you put in something like “cloud” in the search form you get results of an actual page AND of an image with cloud in its name. I would like to prevent the latter.

    Thanks
    Philipp

    Hi Victoria,
    thank you, but I have put both snippets (one after the other) in the functions.php of my enfold-child and neither of it works. If I search for “pexels” or “photo” the images still show up in the results. Do you have another idea?

    Thanks
    Philipp

    Hi,

    I tried the keyword “cloud” but there are no “image attachment” in the search results. Is this fixed?

    Best regards,

    Hi Ismael,
    no, in the meantime I just added a description to that particular image. Try “pexels” as keyword please.

    Kind regards

    Hi,

    Thank you for the info.

    Please add the following snippet in the functions.php file.

    // exclude images from search results
add_action( 'init', 'exclude_images_from_search_results' );
function exclude_images_from_search_results() {
	global $wp_post_types;
	$wp_post_types['attachment']->exclude_from_search = true;
}

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Hi Ismael,
    thanks for the new snippet that I have added to the functions.php file, but still there’s something like “digitale-arch-pexels-photo-21226” in the site’s search results. Am I doing something wrong? My browser cache is deactivated of course.

    Kind regards

    Hi Ismael,
    I found the mistake! I accidentally had the “better search” plugin activated without noticing. My bad! Sorry for the awkward confusion. Everything works fine now with the snippet.

    Kind regards
