How to get WP Search to search wpDT tables?
Closed

    Hi

    Building a regular website w some backbone of wpDT to show clients food and that works fine. 

    But I just discovered that the WP regular Search function (normally placed at the top of every website with a search icon and the "Enter search text + Enter..."), does only search actual WP pages and posts, but NOT wpDT content.

    This raises the following questions;

    1. Can wpDT table data be included to be searched via the WP search? (Directly or via a Widget etc)

    2. Will this problem resolve itself when we active a cache plugin like WP Rocket? Meaning that them all wpDT tables will be cahced as html pages...

    3. What happens with search engines (SEO) and wpDT data. Visible?

    Any suggestions, tips to resolve this? Thanks :)

    HI _Mac,
    Thank you for your purchase.

    Sorry to disappoint you but unfortunately something like this is not possible to achieve with the plugin built in features at the moment and unfortunately none of the ideas that you write below can help to make this work.

    Your idea is quite interesting and I will forward this to my team so hopefully we can add it on our TODO list and implement it for some of our future updates.

    Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for understanding.


    Best regards.

    Kind Regards,
