How Do I Add a Filter to My Search Bar in WordPress?

Adding a filter to your WordPress search bar is easy. There are a few different ways to do it, depending on your WordPress setup.

Method 1: Adding a Filter From the Administration Page

To add a filter from the administration page, go to the “Settings” menu and select the “Search” sub-menu. On the “Search” page, under the “Filters” heading, click the “Add New” button.

In the “Add New Filter” dialog box, enter the name of the filter (e.g.

“All Posts”), and select the “WordPress” filter type. (If you don’t see the “WordPress” filter type, your WordPress installation probably doesn’t include the “WordPress” filter plugin.).

In the “WordPress” filter options section, configure the filter as you want. For example, you can set the filter to search only posts by a certain author, or posts that were published within a certain time period.

Click the “Save” button to save your filter.

Method 2: Adding a Filter From the Dashboard

To add a filter from the dashboard, go to the “Settings” menu and select the “Search” sub-menu.

Now that you have added a filter to your search bar, you can use it to search for posts or pages that match your criteria.
