Relevanssi Premium catches up with the free version with this release. As this version removes many bugs and fixes a vulnerability, it is highly recommended to all users.
- Relevanssi now automatically treats ‘ß’ as ‘ss’. If your site has ‘ß’ in text, reindexing the database is a good idea.
- Query variable post_status is now supported.
- Improvements to excerpts: excerpts with phrases work much better now, and the excerpt creation logic has been improved: the excerpts are now better. The process takes a bit more time, though.
- Allowing HTML tags in excerpts could lead to those tags being left open. Relevanssi will now try to close open HTML tags in excerpts.
- Allowed tags were not controlled in comments. They are now.
- Highlighting in documents didn’t always work; it should be more reliable now.
- Non-integer values are removed from post__in and post__not_in before processing them.
- Query variables p and page_id are now supported.
- Relevanssi now understands date_query variables as well.
- The original post excerpt is stored in
$post->original_excerpt. - Taxonomy search works better with term id parameters (for example from wp_category_dropdown).
- Errors about
$wpdb->prepare()missing an argument removed. - New functions:
relevanssi_the_title()andrelevanssi_get_the_title()can be used to display highlighted titles in search results. - The old title highlighting method has been disabled, because it caused highlights in wrong places. Now the highlighted title is stored in
$post->highlighted_post_title, take it from there or use the Relevanssi title functions to display it. - Polylang and WPML support was adjusted to perform better in edge cases.
- Indexing is faster, thanks to some improved code from Tom Novelli.
- MySQL injection attack vulnerability removed.
- The cache feature is now removed. Relevanssi should automatically drop the cache tables.
- New filter: relevanssi_indexing_data lets you modify the data before it’s indexed.
- Fix for a bug that sometimes caused multisite hits to come from the wrong site.
