relevanssi-generated excerpt showing up in sidebar posts

    On the search results page I show a sidebar with the latest posts. This is a standard sidebar that I show throughout the site. However on the search results page if one of these posts matches the search query: the excerpt is being replaced with the relevanssi generated excerpt and the search term highlighted. This messes up my formatting / design. Is there a way to make the sidebar NOT use the relevanssi excerpt on the search results page? I tried to include a wp_reset_query before getting the sidebar, but that did not help.

    Relevanssi replaces the excerpt in the post object with the excerpt it creates. The original excerpt is stored in the post object in the attribute $post->original_excerpt. The sidebar fetches the post from cache, where the excerpt has been replaced.

    So, couple of possible solutions here:

    – Clear the post object cache before the sidebar, ie. run clean_post_cache() for all the posts in the search results loop.
    – Replace $post->post_excerpt with $post->original_excerpt for all posts in the search results loop.

    Thank you very much!

    Adding <?php clean_post_cache( get_the_ID() ); ?> at the end of the search results loop solved my problem!

    Your other solution I could not use as I use a plugin to display the sidebar posts and did not want to change that code.

    For later reference: 

    <div class="search-result">
    <?php while ( have_posts() ) { the_post(); ?>
	<a href="<?php echo get_permalink(); ?>">
      	<h3><?php relevanssi_the_title();  ?></h3>
	<?php  the_excerpt() ?>
	</a>
	<?php clean_post_cache( get_the_ID() ); ?>
    <?php } ?>
</div>
