Index specific directory with attachments

[erika]

Hi again Ernest

Since our last contact we have been adding products and pdf attachments to woocommerce, it works great. However, we have other pdfs on our site that are also being indexed. Is it possible to add code to only index pdfs from a given directory or only index pdfs attached to a product?

Thank you.

Hi Erika,

Well, it might be possible with a custom code snippet, but I’m not a 100% sure. In the code below, change the $folder variable to the folder name where of where you want the attachments to be indexed from:

add_filter(
	'asp_index_post',
	function ( WP_Post $post ) {
		$folder = 'included_folder_name'; // Change this to the attachment folder to include
		
		if ( $post->post_type !== 'attachment' ) {
			return $post;
		}
		if ( strpos($post->guid, $folder) !== false ) {
			return $post;
		}
		return null;
	}
);

After adding this code, please make a new index.

Try adding this code via the Code Snippets plugin or to the functions.php file in your theme/child theme directory – make sure to have a full server back-up first for safety. For more details you can check the safe coding guidelines.

Thank you! I’ll try it out and let you know.

Thanks Ernest, this code works well! I am only indexing the pdfs I need. By the way, where can I find the search suggestion tutorial? The keywords that are listed below the search textbox.
