Include Dynamic Page To Index

[Mark Robson]

Temp user login provided for dev site.

I have content on the site which is created based on the url entered. The content is not static and retrieved based on a product attribute item and combining with product details therefore the search index can’t index it.

I tried selecting the Navigation Menu option as a search source, but this also didn’t pick up the url or menu name.

Is there a way to add content to the search index manually?

Or is there a way to include the menu item in search results?

On the dev site the search item I was testing is called: Graphenstone Search TEST
An example of a page that I want to be able to find is on the menu: Paint > Designer Range > GrafClean Matt 4%
This has a url link of: https://graphenstone.com/paints/grafclean-matt/
Which resolves to a built page url of: https://graphenstone.com/colours/white/

FYI – I am a marketer and not a developer so simple is best 🙂

Also I did search through support documents and groups but couldn’t locate what I needed – apologies if there are articles on this.

Thx

Hi,

Unfortunately this is definitely not possible, as it’s basically only an alias/redirection to an existing content through rulesets (I assume).
In the example of https://graphenstone.com/paints/grafclean-matt/ is only an “N to 1” alias to https://graphenstone.com/colours/white/ URL, and it does not actually exists as an individual post type object of any kind.

You can’t add these manually either, as a matching post type object must exists in the wp_posts table.

If there was something like an “alias” custom post type, which was used basically to reference other post type objects in a 1 to 1 relationship, then in that case it might be possible via some custom coding. (by injecting hooks to the index to fetch the referenced post type fields and index them)

I usually recommend custom codes where I can, but this is I’m afraid not possible.
