Sorry for the delay—I missed your notification.

is there a way to ensure that content in protected areas of a site?
No, not with the On The Shelf plugin. This behaviour depends on the protection plugin in use (e.g., Groups).

on certain pages I would like a search bar which only searches for items in a particular category
Yes—if you can add a hidden field to your search forms that includes a WPSolr filter for your category.

Sorry for the delay—I missed your notification.
You’ll need to enable the _sku custom field for the product post type in screen 2.2 and then reindex all products.

WPSOLR Free 24.0.2, without Monolog, is out.

Dear @flaviusv,

I appreciate your interest in using WPSOLR.

While we’re glad to support your efforts, please note that with the WPSOLR Free version, we unfortunately do not offer assistance with setting up or troubleshooting Elasticsearch servers, nor do we provide in-depth configuration support. This is primarily due to the technical complexity involved in properly managing a local Elasticsearch installation.

3. “No Mapping Found for Field” / “Fielddata is Disabled” Errors

These are related to field configurations in your Elasticsearch mappings.

Solutions:

• “No mapping found for field [spell]” → This suggests WPSOLR or a query is looking for a non-existent field. Ensure the field spell is enabled in your WPSOLR search schema or remove it from the query.
• “Fielddata is disabled” → Elasticsearch does not allow sorting/aggregations on text fields by default.
  
  Fix: the index was probably created outside of WPSOLR. Please create the index in WPSOLR first, then index.

Hi Flavius,

1. Index Disappeared – “Index Not Found” Error

Cause:
This typically occurs when the Elasticsearch index was deleted (manually, automatically by retention settings, or due to storage issues).

Solution:

• Recreate the index from WPSOLR, then reindex from “Synchronize with index”.
• Ensure your Elasticsearch instance is not restarting or clearing indices, and there’s enough disk space and memory.
• If you’re using a VDS, check if there’s any cronjob or backup process that might be removing old indices.

The contact form is located in the header and footer of our website. We don’t typically sell ready-made plugins, but we offer a complete service for search, recommendations, and AI data integration.

(like ingesting pdfs, docx, xlsx, pptx with undefined.io or Docling. Or ColPali)

Using Kubernetes gives you scalability and fault resistance, as data and queries are distributed across nodes.

But Docker is great. The plugin description has a link to install Weaviate on Docker.
