Weight of categories

Have you tried the Relevanssi admin search (Dashboard > Admin search)? It will show you the exact post weights, so you can see if modifying the category weight has any effect on the post weight.

Have you set Relevanssi to index the post categories?

Thank you Mikko, it works perfectly! I forgot to index the categories …
?
I have a second question about finding categories. I have many categories on my site, but there are much important categories than other categories.

Is it possible that the weight of certain categories is, for example “300”, and that the weight of other categories is 1 ?

There’s no simple way to adjust individual category weights. But you can do this:

add_filter( 'relevanssi_match', 'rlv_boost_categories' );
function rlv_boost_categories( $match ) {
	$boosted_categories = array( 'category_name', 'another_category' );
	if ( has_category( $boosted_categories, $match->doc ) ) {
		$match->weight = $match->weight * 300;
	}
	return $match;
}

Add this to your theme functions.php and put the names of the categories in the $boosted_categories array, and those categories will now have a weight of 300.

Thanks Mikko for your reply.

I hadn’t seen that I hadn’t answered.
