Hello DesignWall team, I have a paid version of DW Focus and I was wondering if you can help me making the search result page sorted by date in descending order.
Thank you for your reply

You can add the following code to the functions.php file:

add_filter('posts_orderby','my_sort_custom',10,2);
function my_sort_custom( $orderby, $query ){
    global $wpdb; 
    if(!is_admin() && is_search()) 
        $orderby =  $wpdb->prefix."posts.post_type DESC, {$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_date ASC"; 
    return  $orderby;
}
