Sometimes it’s nice to have a category filter on the search results pages: a simple dropdown where you can choose the category you want to show. It’s easy to create one using wp_dropdown_categories() but on a search results page, that’s slightly problematic, as it’ll include all categories, not just those included in the search results.…
Jetpack has Infinite Scroll, which is a pretty cool feature, but unfortunately doesn’t work with Relevanssi on search results pages. Infinite Scroll uses WP_Query to get more posts, and that isn’t compatible with Relevanssi. I’m not aware of a solution that would allow Infinite Scroll to work with Relevanssi.

The first thing is to check if the results are actually provided by Relevanssi. If you disable Relevanssi, do the results change? Do you see Relevanssi-generated excerpts? There…
Make Divi include all post types Divi search form module restricts the search to only posts and pages. To get rid of that restriction, you can add this to your site: Divi and multisite searching Divi search results templates don’t work in multisite searching. Multisite searching requires changes to the templates, and it’s impossible to…
If you’re using custom post statuses, Relevanssi requires some tinkering. By default, Relevanssi only handles posts that are of status publish, pending, draft or private. Relevanssi has a filter that lets you add more statuses to the list of acceptable statuses for Relevanssi. Add this to your site: This function, added to the two filters,…
Yoast Local SEO plugin breaks Relevanssi search. It enhances the search by adding meta queries. Unfortunately they don’t work with Relevanssi. The fix is simple, though. Add this to the theme functions.php: add_filter( ‘relevanssi_modify_wp_query’, ‘rlv_meta_fix’, 99 ); function rlv_meta_fix( $q ) { $q->set( ‘meta_query’, array() ); return $q; }add_filter( ‘relevanssi_modify_wp_query’, ‘rlv_meta_fix’, 99 ); function rlv_meta_fix(…
