Starting from versions 2.4.0 (Premium) and 4.3.0 (Free), Relevanssi doesn’t index posts that have been marked “noindex” in the Yoast SEO settings (“Allow search engines to show this Post in search results?”).

Relevanssi can automatically index PDF content for the parent post, if the PDF (or other attachment) is attached to the parent post in WordPress. However, that’s not always the case. Sometimes the PDF is attached to the page using an embed, and that doesn’t create a connection between the posts in WordPress. Thus, Relevanssi won’t…
The Chamber Dashboard Business Directory plugin has a business directory search that’s not compatible with Relevanssi. To disable Relevanssi in those searches, add this to your theme functions.php: add_filter( ‘relevanssi_prevent_default_request’, ‘rlv_allow_chamber_search’, 10, 2 ); function rlv_allow_chamber_search( $prevent, $query ) { if ( isset( $_GET[’searchtext’] ) ) { $prevent = false; } return $prevent; }add_filter( ‘relevanssi_prevent_default_request’,…
