There’s a compatibility issue between Relevanssi and Gutenberg Full Site Editing. No results are found when you create a Query Loop to display the search results with Relevanssi enabled. The blank results happen because the post template block doesn’t use the Relevanssi results but instead uses a new WP_Query. Since Relevanssi still blocks the default…
OceanWP is a popular WordPress theme. It works fine with Relevanssi, but how it handles excerpts on the search results pages is not fully compatible with Relevanssi. Relevanssi expects the theme to use the_excerpt() to print out the excerpts. OceanWP does that, but only for posts that have hand-made excerpts. If the post doesn’t have…
Riode is a WooCommerce theme from ThemeForest. It has a built-in live search that does not automatically use Relevanssi. However, it has a method of switching the search function, which you can use to enable Relevanssi. Add this to your site: Riode has WooCommerce product search features where the search term is looked for in…
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…
ThemeCo themes use custom codes for dynamic content. Those are not usual shortcodes, and Relevanssi won’t expand them automatically.

Martfury is a WooCommerce theme that comes with a built-in dropdown search. That’s great, except that as usual the dropdown search doesn’t work with Relevanssi. Fortunately the search is hooked into place, so it’s possible to hook it out and replace it with something new. That might not be necessary, though. The theme developer has…
Elementor is a popular page builder. It works rather well with Relevanssi. Highlight in documents breaks entrance animations In some cases enabling Relevanssi in-document highlighting breaks pictures with entrance animations. You can add this function to your site to fix the problem.
Total is a popular theme from WPExplorer. It mostly works fine with Relevanssi, with just one little issue. Total sets the post_type parameter for all searches to include all public post types. This is fine for most cases, but if you want to include user profiles or taxonomy terms in the search results, Total will…
Posts and pages on the product search results The Flatsome theme, when combined with WooCommerce, has a product search results page that can also show posts and pages. That doesn’t work with Relevanssi out of the box, but fortunately can be made to work. The function that adds the functionality is hooked in place, so…
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.…
