I have a number of custom post types. What is the x-store theme way of adding these to the global search?

In Royal, I used to add them via an etheme function. Is there such a thing with x-store or do you recommend a plugin?

Ok so I’ve added the code to functions.php, but I’m not using Elementor, I’m using the x-store header builder. I’m not seeing an option for custom post types in the Ajax search:

Hi @pablostevens,

Could you please provide temporary wp-admin and FTP access? We will check what can be done to help you.
To grant WP-Admin access, please proceed to create a new user account with an administrator role through your WordPress Dashboard. Once the account is established, you may securely transmit the username and password to us via the Private Content section designated for this purpose.

For FTP access, we require the following details: FTP host, FTP username, FTP password, FTP port, and FTP encryption type. If you need assistance in creating these credentials, please reach out to your hosting provider who will guide you through the process.

Best regards,
8Theme’s Team
