Sometimes Relevanssi can get stuck in the indexing. Relevanssi goes past the number of posts in the database and keeps indexing the posts. One possible cause is a too small max_allowed_packet value for your MySQL server. This value controls how big queries your MySQL server can take. You can see the current value with one…
At the moment, Jetpack Protect claims Relevanssi Premium has several vulnerabilities. These are all false positives. I am not aware of any current vulnerabilities in Relevanssi Premium.

The wpDataTables table plugin has several ways to handle tables. Some of them work with Relevanssi without problems; some don’t. You may notice that Relevanssi doesn’t index the entire table contents for wpDataTables tables (mainly imported tables). This is because the wpDataTables shortcode does not always expand to the entire table; it only features part…
Polylang Pro has a feature to sync translations between posts. The problem with this and Relevanssi is that Relevanssi does not index the changes to the synced posts.

The Photo Gallery plugin from 10Web uses a shortcode to add photo galleries to posts and pages. By default, Relevanssi doesn’t index the gallery contents.

The Premium version of YITH Badge Management has a search feature for badges. Using Relevanssi breaks that badge search. Fortunately, it’s easy to fix. Add this to your site: Now Relevanssi won’t interfere with the YITH Badge Management search.
It’s possible to integrate all kinds of external data to Relevanssi weights. Koko Analytics is a great analytics plugin. It collects stats about your visitors and stores them in the local database, which means those stats are available for Relevanssi. For some sites, this makes a lot of sense. For example, I have Kirjavinkit, a…
By default, Relevanssi returns all posts when searching without a search term. That’s the default WordPress behaviour. Sometimes it may not be the wanted behaviour. One reason is performance: returning all results can be very slow. To stop Relevanssi from running when there’s no search term, add this to your site: This little function will…
