How do I get Relevanssi to work with bbPress

  • When I use Relevanssi to search my bbPress forum, the result page is unusable.

    The top search result item looks like a full post (with a reply window and submit button).

    The other search result items are headlines and descriptions.

    But none of the search results are clickable. They are not hyperlinked to anything.

    The only option I changed was to deselect “Respect exclude_from_search.”

    Relevanssi works great for my posts and pages, but not for the custom post types: topic, forum, reply.

    Am I doing something wrong in configuring the Relevanssi plugin? How do I get better search results for my bbPress forum?

    Releevansi doesn’t officially support bbPress, at least I’ve never even tried to see if it can be done.

    You should probably take a look at your search results template. Probably the standard the_permalink() and similar don’t work with bbPress posts, so you need to check the post type and come up with something else to make the links and excerpts work.

    Is there a forum plugin that Releevansi is more compatible with? I’m just getting my site started, so switching at this point would be relatively painless.

    I don’t know, I haven’t used any forum plugins myself.
