FacetWP Schedule Indexer

FacetWP uses an index to power its search and filtering features. When site content changes, that index may need to be refreshed so facets reflect the current content. FacetWP Schedule Indexer automates this task by scheduling re-indexing through WordPress's WP-Cron system, giving site administrators control over when index updates run.

Set an hourly, daily, or custom cron schedule to suit the site's content and indexing needs. The add-on can also pause FacetWP's built-in automatic indexing, so indexing runs according to the schedule you choose. It fits sites with frequently changing content, including stores, recipe blogs, and resource libraries.

Features

• Scheduled index updates: Use WP-Cron to run full index updates automatically on an hourly, daily, or custom schedule.
• Custom schedule control: Choose an indexing frequency that fits the site, from frequent updates for changing content to a less frequent schedule.
• Pause automatic indexing: Disable FacetWP's built-in automatic indexing to control when indexing runs and follow the scheduled routine.
• FacetWP integration: Works alongside FacetWP and supports standard and custom facet types and listings.
• Schedule customization hook: Use the facetwp_index_schedule hook to change the schedule dynamically or provide a custom schedule.
• Programmatic indexing triggers: Trigger indexing programmatically and use available hooks to adapt the indexing process to a site's workflow.
