Search Result – Show Post Type

Hi there,

Do you mean adding a label or some kind of indicator to the search results to identify whether each item is a post, page, or another post type? Is that correct?

If you’re using a Block Element to build your search results template, one approach is to create a custom shortcode or custom dynamic tag to output the post type label for each post in the results.

If that’s the method you’re using, I’d be happy to help you create the necessary code snippet. Let me know!

Try this:

add_action('init', function () {
    // Check if the GenerateBlocks dynamic tag class exists
    if (! class_exists('GenerateBlocks_Register_Dynamic_Tag')) {
        return;
    }

    // Register the dynamic tag for post type
    new GenerateBlocks_Register_Dynamic_Tag([
        'title'       => __('Post Type', 'generateblocks'),
        'tag'         => 'post_type',
        'type'        => 'post',
        'supports'    => [],
        'description' => __('Displays the post type of the current post.', 'generateblocks'),
        'return'      => function () {
            // Get the current post type
            $current_post_type = get_post_type();

            // Return the post type if it exists, otherwise return an empty string
            return $current_post_type ? esc_html($current_post_type) : '';
        }
    ]);
});

Then you should be able to find Post type ({{post_type}}) dynamic tag in the dropdown list.
