Version 4.3.0

ElasticPress 4.3.0 fixes some bugs and introduces some new and exciting changes.

WooCommerce Product Variations SKUs are now a publicly searchable field. Site administrators wanting to allow users to search for their product variations SKUs can enable it in the Search Fields & Weighting Dashboard, under Products. If a user searches for a variation SKU, the parent product will be displayed in the search results.

The last ElasticPress sync information is now available in WordPress's Site Health. If you want to check information like the date of the last full sync, time spent, number of indexed content, or errors go to Tools -> Site Health, open the Info tab and click on ElasticPress - Last Sync.

Facets received some further improvements in this version. In addition to some refactoring related to WordPress Block Editor, ElasticPress 4.3.0 ships with an experimental version of a Facet By Meta block. With that, users will be able to filter content based on post meta fields. If you want to try it, download and activate this plugin. Do you have an idea of an enhancement? Search in our facets label in GitHub and if it is not there yet, feel free to open a new issue. We would love to hear new ideas!

Version 4.2.0

ElasticPress 4.2.0 fixes some bugs and introduces some new and exciting changes.

The sync functionality had its JavaScript refactored. Timeouts, memory limits, and general errors are now properly handled and do not make the sync get stuck when performed via the WP-CLI index command. There is also a new get-last-sync WP-CLI command to check the errors and numbers from the last sync.

We've improved the admin search experience for sites using both WooCommerce and Protected Content. Previously, WooCommerce was processing that screen with two different queries, and EP was used only in one of them. Now, it will be only one query, fully handled by ElasticPress. Users wanting to keep the previous behavior can do so by adding add_filter( 'ep_woocommerce_integrate_admin_products_list', '__return_false' ); to their website's codebase.

Facets are now available through a WordPress block. If you are using the Full Site Editing feature, you can now add ElasticPress Facets to your theme with just a few clicks! This block has been introduced with a simplified user interface to enable compatibility with Full Site Editing and will continue to be iterated and improved in future versions of the plugin.
