LearnDash: Keep Lessons and Quizzes Out of Site Search
Removes LearnDash lessons, topics, quizzes and certificates from your site's search results so visitors only find courses, not locked lesson pages.
Opens WPIDE on
Code
if ( ! defined( 'LEARNDASH_VERSION' ) ) {
return;
}
// Post types to hide from search.
$wpide_ld_hidden_types = array( 'sfwd-lessons', 'sfwd-topic', 'sfwd-quiz', 'sfwd-certificates', 'sfwd-question' );
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', function ( $query ) use ( $wpide_ld_hidden_types ) {
if ( is_admin() || ! $query->is_main_query() || ! $query->is_search() ) {
return;
}
$types = $query->get( 'post_type' );
if ( ! $types || 'any' === $types ) {
$types = get_post_types( array( 'exclude_from_search' => false ) );
}
$query->set( 'post_type', array_values( array_diff( (array) $types, $wpide_ld_hidden_types ) ) );
} );Notes
Courses stay searchable. Add sfwd-courses to the list to hide those too.
