1.13.1 is a quick bug-fix release following on the heels of 1.13. The main target is the user search bug, but I’ve added couple of other bug fixes and improvements. Unless you need the user search, updating is not mandatory. Fixed a bug with numeric taxonomy terms. Fixed a bug in user search. API keys…
…2 ); function rlv_search_exclude_protected( $allow, $post_id ) { $post = get_post( $post_id ); if ( ! empty( $post->post_password ) ) { $allow = false; if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { $allow = true; } } return $allow; } Now protected posts are not shown to searchers who are not logged in….A site I’m working with has a handful of “protected” posts (password required to view). For various reasons, we don’t want to show these in search results. While there is no excerpt shown, I’d prefer for people to not even know they exist. Relevanssi sees protected posts as public posts……(because their post status is publish, not private like with private posts). That’s what they are, as, in general, users will be able to see protected posts. Just not their content unless they know the password. Relevanssi does protect the content and won’t show parts of it in excerpts. If…
…the post edit page and add a list of comma-separated search terms. When somebody searches for one of those terms, the post should come up first in the results. Relevanssi can now index synonyms. This is helpful, because it allows you to use synonyms with AND search. That has been……impossible before. Just check the “Index synonyms” option and then rebuild the index. These features are still slightly experimental. Any feedback is welcome. New feature: You can now pin posts on particular search terms. New feature: Synonyms can now be defined in indexing, allowing them to be used with AND……is now fixed. Word-based excerpt building sometimes created too short excerpts. That is now fixed. Synonyms are now highlighted. Phrase matching had issues where searching for a too common phrase crashed the search. That has been fixed. LIKE operator didn’t work properly in meta_queries. API key field in settings is…
Relevanssi has been working nicely for the normal usecase. But how does one setup indexing of attachment files. When someone searches by a file name or an extension like pdf, there are no results. I have enabled ‘attachment’ at Relevanssi ‘Indexing options’ and still there are no results. Relevanssi doesn’t index attachment file names. For…
Relevanssi 3.3.6 was released on Friday, and today followed by 3.3.7. You can see the release notes of 3.3.6 below. 3.3.7 just fixes a new incompatibility with bbPress, probably triggered by WordPress 4.0 update. Relevanssi handles taxonomy terms in search better. The change requires a reindexing. Fix in indexing: Relevanssi will now bypass the global…
On one of our sites we have 2 search boxes, one where you can do a normal search and the other where you can search for employees or departments. The employees/department search is done by using the relevanssi_do_query() function. Can we use fuzzy matching on the normal search and disable it on the employees/department search?…
Are post ID’s searchable in Relevanssi? No. Relevanssi does understand the WP_Query p parameter to restrict the search by post ID. However, if you want to search by post ID, it’s very simple to make that happen using the relevanssi_content_to_index filter hook: Add that to theme functions.php, reindex and searching for post ID’s works. Originally…
Suppose you have a parent category with no products in it but a child category does. If you search by the parent category can relevanssi be set up to show the products in the child category? Cars > Wiper Blades. A search for cars shows wiper blade products. By default this does not work, because…
Relevanssi does work with BBPress. BBPress forums, topics and replies are regular WordPress posts. In order to get Relevanssi working with BBPress, you need to make Relevanssi index post type topic (forget forum, and I think it’s better if you skip reply as well). Since topic is non-public post type, you also need to uncheck…
Modernize is a neat Premium theme that has a problem with Relevanssi. Relevanssi highlighting can cause problems on Modernize search results pages, with results getting wrong background color. This problem is caused by the way Modernize truncates excerpts to certain length, set in the Modernize settings. It doesn’t care about HTML tags, so Modernize may…
