Okay, so I definitely will adjust the weights. Thank you for helping me figure that out.

What’s confusing me is why when set to “VISIBLE”, the result weights are 21 times higher for the page. There are no additional fields that would contain those phrases. the only ACF fields I have in place are for whether to show the author’s name. And the wordpress content area is empty on that page.

There are 9 page revisions. The first being empty. Would it be reading page revisions when “VISIBLE” is set?

The posts are pulling the content from WordPress content editor, not Oxygen custom fields. The page is pulling all its content from Oxygen custom field. So if custom fields are “fairly light weight” by default, that would explain it right?

indexing SOME custom fields (ct_builder_shortcodes)

Indexing VISIBLE I get this

It almost looks like it’s a weighting issue. When I look at the results, everything above my clinical solutions page is a post of some kind…podcast, blog post, etc that is using wordpress content editor. the Oxygen builder content that is in the custom field would appear to be weighted less.

But what I can’t understand is why that would change when i include VISIBLE custom fields in the index, and my clinical solution shoots to the top of the results.

I’ve also tried it with Boost Exact Matches on and off, with no change.

“Next-Level Technology for Clinicians in Every Department” – it’s a headline on a clinical solutions page.

So if I set indexing custom fields to VISIBLE, the post relevancy is 7406.79

If I set it to SOME and specify ct_builder_shortcodes, the relevancy score 352.57

Hi, Mikko. Good to know about the weight boost. Makes sense. What’s strange is that the position isn’t low if I index VISIBLE fields.

This is what I get if I set indexing to SOME fields and specify ct_builder_shortcodes: https://postimg.cc/sG7cfXqZ

But the page does not show at the top spot.

If I change the indexing to VISIBLE fields, I get this in debug: https://postimg.cc/Q9Rmr543

And the page does show at the top spot.

Thanks for any insights.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I’m just worried they won’t continue to provide that mechanism indefinitely. Trying to think long-term for a new site we’re about to start developing. The timing is terrible for me.

In the meantime, I’ve downloaded WP5 beta and your plugin works like a charm. It’s certainly going to be a huge life saver on most of my sites!

anjanji13: I’m having the same issue — all the sliders are showing. They don’t collapse after cycling through either… I notice your site seems to be fixed. What did you do?

I had to edit the functions file of the plugin to get post_format to work. Thought I’d share it here so any users that may run into the problem can hack it as well:

in the plugin’s functions.php file, add this at line 280, just before the tax_query array
if( $slug=="post_format") { $field = "slug"; } else {$field ="id";}

then, on line 283 in the tax_query array change
'field' => 'id',
to be
'field' => $field,

Hopefully the author will either incorporate this fix into the plugin, or point out what I was doing wrong so I can remove this hack.

After more digging, WordPress SEO isn’t the issue. At least in my case. The meta description is in the code, Google is just ignoring it…which they do if they feel like there is text on the page that is more relevant to the key search term.

It appears that the issue with the description, not the plugin.

I’m having the same issue.

I had the problem as well. But then I noticed that the video’s causing problems had “album” and “video” in the link (i.e. vimeo.com/album/111111111/video/00000) .

By removing that, and simply linking to the video from the embed link from vimeo (ie. vimeo.com/0000000, where 0000000 is the video number) then FVE began working correctly.

Worked like a charm, thanks! FYI, in case anyone else runs into this issue, Event Organiser doesn’t use custom fields, so the meta_key/value wasn’t needed. the way they add the data simply required orderby=”eventstart” be added to the ALM shortcode.

Thank you so much for the pointer, and this great plugin! It really saved me hours of trying to get Ajax to work…

Thanks, Stephen…that’s what I was afraid of. Visual Composer’s grid plugin doesn’t allow for modifying the query other than requesting custom field keys. Hoping that fix that limitation soon. Oh well. Thanks for the great plugin!
