It’s possible to integrate all kinds of external data to Relevanssi weights. Post Views Counter is an analytics plugin that collects stats about your visitors and stores them in the local database, which means those stats are available for Relevanssi. For some sites, this makes a lot of sense. For example, I have Kirjavinkit, a book review site…
Relevanssi doesn’t work automatically with the Query Loop block in GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks. Fortunately, the solution is simple: the Query Loop block has a filter hook for adjusting the query parameters, and you can use that filter hook to enable Relevanssi. Add this to your site: Thanks to Ben Knowles. If you are using V2…
Aelia has a Prices by Country for WooCommerce plugin, which can adjust prices based on customer country and hide products unavailable in a specific country. Jason James shared a function that makes Relevanssi hide unavailable products in search: This function uses the relevanssi_post_ok filter hook to control which posts are included in the search and…
PublishPress Revisions causes duplicates to appear in Relevanssi search results when a revision is approved. When the revision is created, Relevanssi indexes it because it has the same post type as the original post with the post status draft. Relevanssi indexes drafts because people may want to search for them in the admin search. This is…
EmbedPress has an auto-embed feature that tries to embed all URLs found in posts. This can cause problems with Relevanssi: searches can take a very long time when EmbedPress tries to fetch all outside URLs. The solution is simple: you can disable this feature during Relevanssi excerpt creation. Add this snippet to your site:
In some cases, WooCommerce product stock level changes don’t affect the search immediately. If the search is set up to exclude out-of-stock items, a product that sells out may still be included in the search until the next reindexing. This happens because changes in the stock status don’t trigger a WordPress post update that Relevanssi…
FileBird is one of many WordPress plugins that provide more control over the attachments in the Media Library. You can use the FileBird folders in Relevanssi searches to filter attachments based on their folder. Here’s a simple function you can add to your site: Once you add this, you can use the folder parameter to…
By default, Relevanssi indexes the different language versions of the posts separately. If your site is in French and English, searching for the English text will find the English posts and searching for the French text will find the French posts. But what if you want the French search terms to find the English post…
Relevanssi can index attachment contents from files linked to posts with ACF File fields. This does not happen automatically but requires some extra code. The code required depends on which return value you use for your ACF File fields. If you use “File ID”, the code looks like this: For “File Array”, the code looks…
On sites where ACF fields are used a lot, with Flexible Content and Repeater fields, it may be difficult to make Relevanssi only index the relevant ACF fields. One way to deal with problem is to set Relevanssi to index “visible” custom fields and then restrict the indexed fields by field type. Add this function…
