Relevanssi doesn’t work automatically with the Query Loop block in GeneratePress and GenerateBlocks. Fortunately, the solution is simple: the Query Loop block has a filter hook for adjusting the query parameters, and you can use that filter hook to enable Relevanssi. Add this to your site: Thanks to Ben Knowles. If you are using V2…
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…
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…
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.…
Make Divi include all post types Divi search form module restricts the search to only posts and pages. To get rid of that restriction, you can add this to your site: Divi and multisite searching Divi search results templates don’t work in multisite searching. Multisite searching requires changes to the templates, and it’s impossible to…
Avada is one of the most popular WordPress themes on the market. All post types are not found Avada has search settings, including a list of post types to show in the results. If your Avada search is not showing all post types, attachments or user profiles, the problem is probably in the Avada settings.…
Modernize is a neat Premium theme that has a problem with Relevanssi. Relevanssi highlighting can cause problems on Modernize search results pages, with results getting wrong background color. This problem is caused by the way Modernize truncates excerpts to certain length, set in the Modernize settings. It doesn’t care about HTML tags, so Modernize may…
