Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ElasticPress

The ElasticPress plugin enables you to connect your WordPress site to the ElasticPress.io service, a SaaS solution that provides an enhanced search experience while reducing load on your WordPress site. For advanced users familiar with both WordPress and Elasticsearch hosting and management, ElasticPress also offers support for plugin functionality using an Elasticsearch instance. Please keep in mind that there are multiple security, performance, and configuration considerations to take into account if you take this approach.

If circumstances prevent the use of a SaaS solution like ElasticPress.io, we can also provide consulting around installation and configuration of custom Elasticsearch instances.

Please refer to GitHub for detailed usage instructions and documentation. FAQs and tutorials can be also found on our support site.

If you have identified a bug or would like to suggest an enhancement, please refer to our GitHub repo. We do not provide support here at WordPress.org forums. If you are an ElasticPress.io customer, please open a ticket in your account dashboard. If you need a custom solution, we also offer consulting.

You can report any security bugs found in the source code of ElasticPress through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team will assist you with verification, CVE assignment and take care of notifying the developers of this plugin.

ElasticPress requirements can be found in the Requirements section of our GitHub repository. If your solution relies on a different server or version, you may find additional information on our Compatibility documentation page.

For sure! Feel free to submit ideas or feedback in general to our GitHub repo. If you can, also consider sending us a review.
