Custom Search Form /w Custom Post Type

1

Hey,

To start with I’m using an older version of Roots, just before it became Sage…

The reason I’m asking here, is i’ve tried what WordPress suggested and no luck.

Basically,

I need a new search form that will only search a custom post type I have called ‘products’.

I’m not sure if there is a specific way I need to do this using Roots.

This is totally not a roots specific question but if resources you’re looking at aren’t working I highly recommend Search WP: https://searchwp.com/

Also if you do think it’s a Roots issue, you’ll have to post what you said you tried - “what WordPress” suggested"

wordpress suggests adding

<input type="hidden" value="products" name="post_type">

to my search form.

Is nice search enabled? If so have you tried disabling it?

Comment out or remove any lines like:

add_theme_support('nice-search');
add_theme_support('soil-nice-search');
