I’m also seeing this issue.

I’ve tracked it down to the anchor color css using the ‘inherit’ keyword.

Unfortunately that does not mean it inherits the color from other anchor rules, but instead it’s parent, which is a paragraph, which is a darker color.

I believe this is due to the plugin’s ajax POST call back to the server in an attempt to track the optin impression.

Unfortunately this has a very negative effect on large scale sites as it bypasses most caching and causes a MySQL write on every stat AJAX request.

It appears to attempt to detect Google Analytics and use that, however the self.getProp( 'ga_uaid' ) does not work effectively.

I would love to see a way to completely disable this @dvinson – as it stands right now we had to disable the plugin.

1. Please read the readme as it details the installation process fully. Additional documentation is available on GitHub: https://github.com/10up/ElasticPress
2. Yes – command line is required to use this plugin. WP-CLI is required
3. Yes this plugin is used on multiple high scale production sites at 10up
4. Geo / proximity based search is indeed possible using Elasticsearch. ElasticPress does not provide geo search out of the box, but there is a ticket to provide support for this eventually (contributions welcome!): https://github.com/10up/ElasticPress/issues/201

Yes – indeed it can be used to search network-wide. Upon the initial index step you must use the –network-wide WP CLI command.

So the command would go:
wp elasticpress index --setup --network-wide
https://github.com/10up/ElasticPress#multisite-cross-site-search

This will ensure that all your subsites are correctly indexed.

You must also define the sites parameter to all in your WP_Query.

new WP_Query( array(
    's'     => 'search phrase',
    'sites' => 'all',
) );
