Indexing post slugs

By default, Relevanssi does not index the post slug. It is, however, an easy thing to fix using the relevanssi_content_to_index filter hook. This function will read the post slug, replace the hyphens with spaces (so that indexing-post-slugs becomes “indexing post slugs”) and add the slug to the post content. Add this function to your site…

Flatsome

…query matches a variation SKU, the product permalink is replaced with the variation permalink: add_filter( ‘post_type_link’, ‘rlv_wc_variation_permalink’, 10, 2 ); function rlv_wc_variation_permalink( $permalink, $post ) { global $flatsome_live_search_query, $wp_query; if ( empty( $flatsome_live_search_query ) && isset( $wp_query->query_vars[‘s’] ) ) { $flatsome_live_search_query = $wp_query->query_vars[‘s’]; } if ( ‘product’ === $post->post_type &&……$query, $args, $defaults ) { global $flatsome_live_search_query; $flatsome_live_search_query = $args[‘s’]; $args[‘relevanssi’] = true; return get_posts( $args ); } This stores the search query in a global variable so that we can use it later elsewhere. Then we need a filter function to adjust the permalinks so that when the search……! empty( $flatsome_live_search_query ) ) { $variations = rlv_get_variation_ids( $post->ID ); if ( isset( $variations[ $flatsome_live_search_query ] ) ) { remove_filter( ‘post_type_link’, ‘rlv_wc_variation_permalink’, 10 ); return get_permalink( $variations[ $flatsome_live_search_query ] ); } } return $permalink; } function rlv_get_variation_ids( $product_id ) { $variation_ids = array(); $args = array( ‘post_parent’ => $product_id,…

Restricting the search for non-logged-in users

There was an interesting support question: I have website with logged-in users as well as non-logged-in users. The logged-in user should be able to search through everything on the website, but the non-logged-in users should only be able to search the user profiles. Is it at all possible to differentiate…

Searching between dates

…$from_date[‘month’], ‘day’ => $from_date[‘day’], ); } // Same for the “to” date. if ( $to_date && checkdate( $to_date[‘month’], $to_date[‘day’], $to_date[‘year’] ) ) { $before = array( ‘year’ => $to_date[‘year’], ‘month’ => $to_date[‘month’], ‘day’ => $to_date[‘day’], ); } // Create the date query array and add the parameter sets to it……) ) { $to_date = date_parse( $_GET[‘to’] ); } $after = null; $before = null; // If the “from” date checks as a valid date, create a parameter set for it. if ( $from_date && checkdate( $from_date[‘month’], $from_date[‘day’], $from_date[‘year’] ) ) { $after = array( ‘year’ => $from_date[‘year’], ‘month’ =>……searches: add_filter( ‘relevanssi_modify_wp_query’, ‘rlv_date_between’ ); function rlv_date_between( $query ) { $from_date = null; $to_date = null; // Get the dates from parameters “from” and “to”, and parse to make sure they are dates. if ( isset( $_GET[‘from’] ) ) { $from_date = date_parse( $_GET[‘from’] ); } if ( isset( $_GET[‘to’]…

Gmedia photo gallery tags

Gmedia photo gallery gives a false impression of working with Relevanssi, as you can see the gmedia_tag taxonomy appear in the list of taxonomies: However, if you try to index those tags, you’ll soon notice Relevanssi isn’t actually indexing them. That’s because Gmedia gallery doesn’t use that taxonomy for the tags. The tags are actually…

Blocking pre and code tags

…$content = preg_replace( ‘#<pre.*?</pre>#mis’, ”, $content ); $content = preg_replace( ‘#<code.*?</code>#mis’, ”, $content ); return $content; } This will find all <pre> and <code> tags in posts and replace them and their contents with nothing, both when indexing and when building excerpts. This will immediately take effect for excerpts, and…If your posts have lots of programming code examples in <pre> and <code> tags, those might look pretty bad in the search results. A snippet of programming code isn’t usually a good excerpt, and if you use those tags purely for code snippets, they won’t likely contain significant search content,……either. Fortunately it’s easy to completely remove all <pre> and <code> tags and their content both in indexing and excerpt-building. All you need to do is to add the following code to your theme functions.php: add_filter( ‘relevanssi_post_content’, ‘rlv_pre_code’, 10 ); add_filter( ‘relevanssi_excerpt_content’, ‘rlv_pre_code’, 10 ); function rlv_pre_code( $content ) {…

WP Job Manager

Relevanssi doesn’t work with the WP Job Manager search. The solution is fortunately simple: you can just disable Relevanssi for the WP Job Manager page. To disable Relevanssi, add this to your site: Thanks to Adam Lenz for this solution.

BeTheme

BeTheme does the strangest, weirdest, and least productive things with search I’ve ever seen in a professional theme. It can automatically clear out your search term, which of course leads to Relevanssi searches failing. I have no idea what that is trying to achieve, but it makes searching very frustrating. Fortunately, the fix is simple.…

Debugging Relevanssi searching issues

…restrictions involved? Look at the results add_filter( ‘relevanssi_results’, ‘rlv_check_results’ ); function rlv_check_results( $results ) { var_dump( $results ); exit(); } This should print out an array of ( post ID, post weight ) pairs. Does that match the number of results you expect to find? Look at the posts returned…Relevanssi has plenty of useful filter hooks you can use to debug problems. Here are some examples of how you can use the Relevanssi filter hooks to debug issues. Add the functions one at a time to your site and run a search to see results. First, try the Relevanssi……admin search. Before checking the filters, try the Relevanssi admin search (Dashboard > Admin search). Does that find the correct results? If it does, then the problem is likely with your theme. Use Query Monitor Query Monitor is a superb tool for debugging WordPress behaviour. It’s very useful for debugging…
