Controlling attachment types in index

Relevanssi lets you index attachments. But perhaps you only want to index a particular type of attachment? Relevanssi settings don’t have any control over that, it’s either all attachments or nothing. It is possible to choose which kinds of attachments are indexed. It is done with the relevanssi_indexing_restriction filter hook, which lets you control which…

Premium 1.15.0

Version 1.15.0 includes several improvements to multisite searching: pinning works now in multisite searches, the API key is changed to a network option and it’s now possible to copy Relevanssi settings from one blog to all the other blogs (there’s no way to copy the settings to just one blog; that’s coming in the next…

Keyword-based search blocking

Update: In Premium 2.15.0 and later versions, you can do spam blocking from Relevanssi settings. Just navigate to the Spam Block tab on Relevanssi settings! If your search logs are full of spam with repeating keywords, you’re being targeted by a spammer. Their goal is to get visibility to their malicious URLs, hoping Google will…

Free 3.5.8

Relevanssi 3.5.8 is out now and available from the plugin repository. Relevanssi has a XSS vulnerability. If you are using the “Did you mean” feature, it is possible to construct a search query that contains scripts that are automatically run on the page if the “Did you mean” feature runs. See the DWXSecurity report on…

Premium 1.14.9

I was alerted yesterday that Relevanssi Premium has a XSS vulnerability. If you are using the “Did you mean” feature, it is possible to construct a search query that contains scripts that are automatically run on the page if the “Did you mean” feature runs. See DXWSecurity report on the vulnerability. Version 1.14.9 fixes this…

Premium 1.14.8

An improved version of the sorting function will not throw notices when Intuitive Custom Post Order plugin is used. New filter: relevanssi_missing_sort_key can be used to adjust the result sorting when using keys that are not present in all posts…

Premium 1.14.7.1

This is a small maintenance fix, solving problems related to old and very new versions of PHP. If you are using a PHP version that’s newer than 5.4 and older than 7, this update is not necessary. Relevanssi threw a fatal error with PHP 7.1 thanks to a wrong variable declaration. The accidental PHP 5.4+…

Premium 1.14.7

Looks like Relevanssi is compatible with WordPress 4.7, but one problem has been found so far: admin dashboard search for pages doesn’t work with Relevanssi. Other post types seem to work just fine. I wasn’t able to fix the problem, so this version circumvents it by disabling Relevanssi in the admin page search. This version…

Restricting the indexing to particular user roles

From the Relevanssi settings, you can only choose whether subscribers are indexed or not. If you need finer control over what user roles are indexed by Relevanssi, you can use the relevanssi_user_index_ok filter hook with the following code. Place it in your theme functions.php: Just adjust the $block_these_roles array to include the roles you want…

bbPress: Private Groups support

Private Groups is a plugin that makes bbPress forum groups private. Relevanssi, however, doesn’t understand that privacy and will show those groups in the search results. Relevanssi has means to support this, however, with the help of the relevanssi_post_ok filter. Here’s some code from Mark Wass that makes the private forum posts private in search.…
