5 years, 7 months ago in reply to: Can WPSOLR search in BuddyPress ? #6508

WooCommerce, WP Job Manager, bbPress : yes.

BuddyPress : not yet.

The issue (for WPSOLR) with BuddyPress is that it uses custom tables to store most of it’s data. Mostly for a better performance, as it is intended to work with lot’s of data.

WPSOLR was initially built to deal with any post types, custom fields, and taxonomies. Not custom tables.

But we have already rebuilt the core of WPSOLR, to be able to support both custom post types and custom tables. It is WPSOLR 20.9. See WPSOLR Changelog.

BuddyPress integration is under development.

Sure.

We can add more seats on one license, on the condition that they are used to activate non-production sites.

5 years, 7 months ago in reply to: Corrupted license after cloning a staging environment #6485

A WPSOLR  license is linked to a site url.

If you clone a site, the license is cloned too. But it does not recognise the site url anymore, hence the infamous “corrupted data” error message:

To fix the error, you just have to:

1) Deactivate your cloned license

 

2) Refresh your screen (F5)

 

3) Activate your cloned license

5 years, 7 months ago in reply to: Which Solr hosting solutions for WPSOLR ? #6480

I’d first recommend installing Solr. It’s fast, cheap and reliable (no internet to cross).

Else, you can try one of the Solr and SolrCloud hosting providers we have already tested:

5 years, 7 months ago in reply to: Cannot update the plugin after license activation #6474

The error message you see is due to WordPress admin’s caching plugin updates.

 

You can clear the cache with:

When the cache is cleared, WordPress will connect to WPSOLR’s license server, and download the latest version of the plugin.

5 years, 7 months ago in reply to: Custom default sort for different searches #6465

It is possible using our WP filter https://www.wpsolr.com/guide/actions-and-filters/search-results-default-sort/

The idea is to use the WPSOLR filter above, and compare the current url to the two target urls (blog search and product search) to return the specific default sort (by relevancy or product price for instance).

You do not need to show a sort listbox if you don’t want to. The correct default search will be applied in the background search query, and the results accordingly sorted.

5 years, 7 months ago in reply to: WPSOLR extensions not activating on the free deprecated version #6463

You are using the plugin version 20.0. It is the free, deprecated, community version https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpsolr-search-engine/

This free version does not include the paid extensions, which integrate WPSOLR search to well-known plugins (ACF, WooCommerce …) and themes (Listify, Jobify …).

Remove the free plugin, and install the PRO plugin from the download link included in your welcome post-order email. Now you can activate your license, and unlock the WPSOLR extension you bought with your subscription.

5 years, 7 months ago in reply to: How do Lucene, Elasticsearch, and Solr compare? #6458

Lucene, Elasticsearch, and Solr, are all full-text search engines.

But Lucene is a java library. While Elasticsearch and Solr are web servers, wrapping (some) Lucene features in their own REST API.

Using the same Lucene library, Elasticsearch and Solr are therefore very similar.

Some elements of choice for a new user could be:

The admin UI

Solr admin UI is rather standard for an average Joe, with lists, checkboxes and so on. Whereas Elasticsearch admin UI queries are tricky JSON command lines.

The installation

Both are easy to install, at least in their stand-alone mode. From times to times, Elasticsearch indexes will stop working, showing the infamous “red status”. I never experienced such a thing with Solr.

The distributed mode

Elasticsearch was built to work on several machines from the ground. Whereas Solr, being there first, had to implement a SolrCloud mode afterwards.

The JSON api

Elasticsearch api is incredibly complete and consistent, one can do anything with it. Solr api feels like a patchwork comparatively. And Solr api lacks some features available in SolrCloud api, like uploading the configuration files.

The ecosystem

There is a company backing Elasticsearch, and we can feel it with all the projects that come with Elasticsearch: log analysis, IA, time series, hosting, plugins. Solr is more isolated: other projects work with it of course, but are not built for it.

5 years, 7 months ago in reply to: Paid Memberships Pro conflict with WPSOLR #6455

(Nothing in javascript console, nor in WordPress debug.log)

Apparently, Paid Memberships Pro was causing the conflict. After deactivating the plugin, the client could activate the license as expected.

Conclusion: deactivate Paid Memberships Pro, activate the WPSOLR license, then reactivate Paid Memberships Pro.

The setup is described in video https://www.wpsolr.com/guide/video-gallery-twentysixteen-theme-search-template/video-setup-demo-twentysixteen-theme-template-local-elasticsearch/

In screen 2.2, select only the attachment file type “pdf”.

 

After investigation, it appeared that the PDF files were corrupted. They could not be opened, but could be indexed and searched!.

No solution from WPSOLR, but to find a way to open the PDF files.

WPSOLR is integrated with the WordPress standard plugins update api.

This means that you update WPSOLR as you would do with any other free plugins, within the WP admin “Plugins” menu.

But you need your WPSOLR’s license activated. Or you will see:
