Relevanssi has a conflict with User Access Manager plugin. Both plugins attach to the same `the_posts` filter hook with the same priority, and if UAM runs after Relevanssi, it may cause some issues, like missing excerpts or even broken search results pages. The solution seems simple, however: at least in the one case I’ve run…
Relevanssi by default shows out-of-stock and excluded from catalogue WooCommerce products in the search results, but hides those set to excluded from search (before 2.2.2 and 4.1.2 the default behaviour was to show all products). It is quite easy to make Relevanssi not display hidden products in the results. The best way is to unindex…
Sometimes multisite searches cause problems in navigation menus. This is caused by pages from another subsite going into the page cache, and then replacing a page in the navigation menu with the same page ID. If you’re having this problem, adding the following code to the theme functions.php should solve the issue.
Relevanssi Premium can index user profiles. Users may have meta fields attached to them: there’s a wp_usermeta database table, even though the user editing interface by default doesn’t have any tools to add meta fields to users. Codex includes documentation on how to use the user meta fields. Read Working with User Metadata for code…

If your search logs are full of spam with repeating keywords, you’re being targeted by a spammer. Their goal is to get visibility to their malicious URLs, hoping Google will…
From the Relevanssi settings, you can only choose whether subscribers are indexed or not. If you need finer control over what user roles are indexed by Relevanssi, you can use the relevanssi_user_index_ok filter hook with the following code. Place it in your theme functions.php: Just adjust the $block_these_roles array to include the roles you want…
Private Groups is a plugin that makes bbPress forum groups private. Relevanssi, however, doesn’t understand that privacy and will show those groups in the search results. Relevanssi has means to support this, however, with the help of the relevanssi_post_ok filter. Here’s some code from Mark Wass that makes the private forum posts private in search.…
If you use utf8mb4 charset, Relevanssi database table may be missing an index. That’s because part of the index includes a column type that is of varchar(210) type. This is fine with utf8, but fails for utf8mb4, which only allows columns 191 characters long (because maximum column size is 767 bytes, and for 4-byte utf8mb4…
