It’s possible to integrate all kinds of external data to Relevanssi weights. Koko Analytics is a great analytics plugin. It 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…
The event search from The Events Calendar does not work when Relevanssi is enabled. In regular use, it works, but if you try to access the event list directly with a search term in the URL, the search finds nothing. One solution is to make Relevanssi index the tribe_events post type. Then you can enable…
Brizy is another WordPress site builder and as usual, it too has hard-coded queries that don’t play nice with Relevanssi. Fortunately, the Brizy post loop also has a filter hook for adjusting the loop arguments, so you can make Brizy use Relevanssi with a simple function. Add this to your site: This turns on the…
If Polylang is in use and you haven’t enabled “Media translation“, your attachment files won’t have a language. That’s fine, except when Relevanssi searches fail to find your attachment because they’re looking for posts in a specific language. Suppose you want to include attachments in Polylang searches. In that case, you can either enable “Media…
If you use PostX Pro to build a search results template using their Post Grid block, you’ll notice that the search results don’t work with Relevanssi enabled. If Relevanssi is active, you get no search results, and if Relevanssi is deactivated, results show up. This problem happens because PostX Pro uses WP_Query to fetch the…
CodeMirror Blocks is a good plugin for displaying good-looking code blocks in WordPress (you can see it in action right here on Relevanssi.com!). There’s a problem with Relevanssi in-document highlighting and the CodeMirror block, though: enabling the highlighting will break all CodeMirror blocks on the page, even if the highlighting happens outside the block. This…
With Advanced Custom Fields, sometimes Relevanssi picks up custom field names to include in the excerpts. This problem happens when you set Relevanssi to index all visible custom fields and have Flexible Content fields. Let’s assume there’s a Flexible Content field with the name flexible_content. It has a layout named field_layout, and in that layout,…
Relevanssi has support both for Oxygen and Ninja Tables, but the way the Ninja Tables support is done, it’s not working when used with Oxygen. The Ninja Tables support in Relevanssi is looking for the Ninja Tables shortcodes in the post content, but Oxygen keeps everything in custom fields. Fortunately, the fix is simple: you…
I use the ACF field type File for a download section, but the displayed file title is not indexing. The format I return the ACF field data is “File Array (array)”. For Relevanssi, it doesn’t matter which ACF return format you choose. Relevanssi doesn’t use get_field() but instead uses the plain get_post_meta(). That always returns…
The Downloads add-on for MemberPress adds downloadable files to MemberPress. These files are stored outside the Media Library, so by default Relevanssi attachment indexing has no access to them. However, Relevanssi offers filter hooks you can use to make Relevanssi index the MemberPress Downloads files. Adjust the query First, we need to tell Relevanssi to…
