Actually I’m using Search with Typesense (not Typesense for WooCommerce).

I did not need the WooCommerce-functionality so I’m fine with this free plugin. Typesense for WooCommerce seemed unnecessary as my site is kind of custom and has no use of the WooCommerce-functionality (frontend) from the paid plugin.

But if my problem is solved in Typesense for WooCommerce, that could be interesting to start using the plugin.

After some investigation I found that my problems are the following:

1. When I’m updating only the post image with the REST API the “wp_after_insert_post” is not triggered => no update in Typesense.
2. When I’m creating a new post with the REST API => The post category is not found when I’m using the “cm_typesense_data_before_entry” hook. And because of that the post will not show up when I’m filtering on that category.

Maybe this is out of scope of this support as it’s kind of custom. I just wanted to check if someone had a similar problem and knew a solution.

Thanks for the response @digamberpradhan ,

I did a fresh install with the standard theme to see if I got the same problem. I inserted a string “Foo & foo” into $formatted_data in the hook cm_typesense_data_before_entry and it rendered properly.

I did some more investigation and found out that when I’m using get_the_terms() or get_the_title() the returning string is encoded. 

Because of that, I tried to run the wp_specialchars_decode() function on my resulting values, like:

$formatted_data['custom_value'] = wp_specialchars_decode(get_the_title($d));

and then it works (proper rendering). Yay!

Thanks for helping me out.

Hello @digamberpradhan,

I wrote a script based on your code and it seems to work.
Thank you for the code example and your explanation.

Thank you!
