    Dear developers of WP Search Algolia,

    First of all, thank you very much for designing this plugin for the Algolia search, which will be liked by our entire customer base!

    We are currently investigating if the Algolia search WordPress plugin suits our needs (eventually the pro version) but we found some issues and we hope the developer can guide us in the right direction.

    1. We created a custom post type named ‘books’ using Advanced Custom Fields and added different kind of fields to this custom post type, for example ‘book_author’ and ‘genre’. We managed to import the custom post type to Algolia search but we noticed that the saved ‘book_author’ and ‘genre’ which are saved in the post_meta_data are not being imported. Is there a way to have this type of meta data imported?
    2. Is there a way to trigger automatic indexing by cronjob?
    3. Would it be possible to override only certain meta data fields and not the entire index entry if a new import has been executed?

    Thanks in advance and I’m looking forward for a reply. 🙂

    Thanks,
    Stefan

    1. Try re-saving the post one more time after the initial save. We have an open issue around meta data at GitHub issue 384 where we’re syncing posts after post save, but before meta has been updated. Thus saving a second time tends to get the meta updated too, because it’s already been updated. Hoping to get some internal discussion happening soon.
    2. There is WP-CLI built in for bulk re-indexing, and triggering that via a cronjob would work. Our WP-CLI Docs
    3. We would need to dig in to where things are being sync’d, to see how much work would need to be done to do an object update as opposed to a quick clear and re-index of all the parts of a given post. The way the plugin is done now is how Algolia themselves originally did things, before we forked the plugin due to them abandoning.
