Separate Post and Pages from WordPress Search Results

Question

Hi!

I am looking for a way to present search results in my custom wordpress theme.

I was hoping being able to present the results like this:

---

Displaying 4 search results for "test"

Pages

• testpage 1
• testpage 2

Posts

• testpost 1
• testpost 2

---

I wrote a function is_type_page that I can use inside the loop (2 loops), but this breaks the pagination functionality.

Any suggestions how to achieve this?

Answer 1

I would run 2 separate loops on the page, after the first loop for pages run rewind_posts() and then run the loop again. Also the key to pagination is making sure the global $paged variable is being picked up on by both loops. $paged is how wordpress separates posts into pages. i.e. if you go to page 2 of something then the global $paged = 2.

Hope that helps
