· 2 min read

Version 1.17.2 introduces the AutoExcerpt class for automatic content preview generation behind content gates, a new Typesense index status admin column for all indexed post types, plus a round of Typesense improvements including a Cloud Dashboard link, WP-CLI PDF link management, taxonomy indexing fixes, and removal of the bundled Typesense dashboard UI.

ADDS

  • [CONTENT PROTECTION] New AutoExcerpt class — automatically generates excerpt previews for gated content. Supports word-count and paragraph-count modes with a configurable minimum first-paragraph length. Integrates with Yoko SSO Content Protection to display a teaser before the gate.
  • [TYPESENSE] New Typesense index status admin column — adds a "Typesense Status" column to all indexed post type list tables (including Media). Displays the current index status (indexed, skipped, excluded, removed, failed) with a manual reindex action link per post. Status is stored in post meta and updated automatically on every index/remove operation.
  • [TYPESENSE] Cloud Dashboard menu link — when Typesense Cloud is configured, a direct link to the cloud dashboard is added to the WordPress admin menu.
  • [WP-CLI] New WP-CLI command to manage PDF links in indexed files — allows bulk-updating or stripping PDF download links stored in Typesense documents.

CHANGES

  • [TYPESENSE] Removed bundled Typesense Dashboard UI (embedded Vue app assets). The self-hosted dashboard is superseded by the Cloud Dashboard link for cloud deployments.
  • [TYPESENSE] custom_css post types are now ignored by default during indexing.

FIXES

  • [TYPESENSE] Fixed taxonomy indexing on single CPT indexes — taxonomies were not being indexed correctly when a Typesense index was scoped to a single post type.

DOCUMENTATION

  • [CONTENT PROTECTION] Updated content gating docs with AutoExcerpt integration guide and code examples.
  • [WP-CLI] Expanded WP-CLI reference with full documentation for all Typesense and PDF-link commands.
