Does the Swiftype WordPress plugin index custom post types?

Yes!

As of version 1.1.17, the Swiftype WordPress plugin supports custom post types.

Custom posts will be index if the following are true:

  • It has a title.
  • It has a post_status of publish.
  • The exclude_from_search parameter is false for that type. (See the documentation for register_post_type for details.)

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of the plugin, be sure to click the “Synchronize with Swiftype” button from the plugin’s tab in WordPress after upgrading. This will ensure your pre-existing custom post types are indexed.
