Overview
Multilingual sites can contain several versions of the same content, so visitors need search results that reflect their chosen language. WPML ElasticPress connects WPML with ElasticPress to filter results by language. This gives site owners a way to provide language-specific search across translated posts, pages, custom post types, and taxonomies.
The plugin works with ElasticPress search infrastructure and sends search queries to Elasticsearch. It also handles language validation when a search query runs. WPML ElasticPress is suited to WordPress sites that already use WPML and ElasticPress and want search results to respect the language preferences of their visitors.
Features
- Language-filtered results: Filter search results by language so visitors see content relevant to the language they have selected.
- WPML integration: Works alongside WPML to support translated posts, pages, custom post types, and taxonomies in site search.
- ElasticPress search: Connects multilingual search with ElasticPress, using its search infrastructure for queries across site content.
- Elasticsearch queries: Offloads search queries to Elasticsearch, the search engine used with ElasticPress.
- Search language validation: Validates the search language when a query runs, helping ensure results are handled for the selected language.
- Right-to-left language support: Handles multiple languages, including right-to-left scripts, so language variants can be searched and displayed.
Best for
- WordPress sites using WPML and ElasticPress
- Multilingual publishers with translated content
