Relevanssi Premium 2.4.3 is a bug fix release that fixes two rather nasty bugs in 2.4.2. Bug fixes Disabling update_post_metadata_cache seemed like a good optimization move for related posts, but it turns out it also disables related posts thumbnails. We’ll take weaker performance with working images, so that optimization move has now been revoked. Importing…
Premium 2.4.2 and free 4.3.3 are maintenance updates that don’t add much new, but fix issues and add general improvements – the project to take Relevanssi to 100% testing coverage proceeds and continues to produce improvements to the code. New features New filter hook relevanssi_indexing_adjust can be used to stop Relevanssi from adjusting the number…
I just wanted to be able to type in a date on the search and for the search to come up with all the blog posts for that date. This is one of those tasks that sounds really simple, but is actually complicated. However, this question piqued my interest and turns out it isn’t that…
Premium 2.4.1 and free 4.3.2 are maintenance updates that don’t add much new, but fix issues and add general improvements – the project to take Relevanssi to 100% testing coverage proceeds and continues to produce improvements to the code. New features SEOPress support, posts marked “noindex” in SEOPress are no longer indexed by Relevanssi by…
The use case is I run several newspapers, and the “caption” field when uploading media is where the journalists put the photographer credit. We need to be able to index the photographer bylines, but ideally would want to return the story/commentary where their image was used, not the image itself. If you want to index…
Starting from versions 2.4.0 (Premium) and 4.3.0 (Free), Relevanssi doesn’t index posts that have been marked “noindex” in the Yoast SEO settings (“Allow search engines to show this Post in search results?”). If the “noindex” setting is in the default value or set to explicit “yes”, Relevanssi indexes the post. If you want Relevanssi to…
As suggested by the version numbering, versions 2.4.0 and 4.3.0 are major updates that change some of Relevanssi behaviour. Nothing should break, however, so updating from earlier versions is safe. New features Multi-phrase searches now respect AND and OR operators. If multiple phrases are included in an OR search, any posts with at least one…
A surprisingly common problem with Relevanssi is Bible verses. All that meaningful punctuation and single digits make exact matching of Bible verses really difficult for Relevanssi, and when searching for Bible verses, exact results are what matters – hitting something similar is generally not very helpful. There’s an easy solution, though: use phrases. Wrapping the verse…
If you have events on your site, you might not want to show the past events in the search. This is easy to do with Relevanssi. It can be done in two ways: either you block the past events in indexing or in searching. In most cases, the best solution is to do both. Blocking…
As suggested by the version numbering, versions 2.3.0 and 4.2.0 are major updates that change some of Relevanssi behaviour. Nothing should break, however, so updating from earlier versions is safe. There are lots of changes in this version, so now – and in future release notes – let’s look at them split down into different…
