Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Search with Algolia

WP Search with Algolia Pro adds six things to this plugin: Meta Field Mapper — map ACF, Meta Box, CMB2, and native post meta fields into your index from a drag-and-drop screen, with no PHP. Index health — a health panel and dashboard widget, per-post index status in the editor, and a one-click re-index for a single post. WooCommerce — SKUs, standard and variable pricing, short descriptions, image sizes, dimensions and weight, sales and ratings as ranking signals, control over sold-out and hidden products, and cart/checkout/order event tracking. Multisite — push every site in a network into one index, exclude specific sites, and monitor per-site indexing status. SEO — mirror "noindex" settings from Yoast SEO, All in One SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, and The SEO Framework, plus per-post controls. Algolia AI — Insights tracking that feeds semantic search, AI re-ranking, personalization, and shopping guides.
