Description

The Post Indexer creates a unified index of posts from a WordPress multisite network, scanning all subsites and consolidating content into a central table that can be queried by other search, aggregation and display plugins. It is aimed at those who run multisite networks with multiple blogs and need to centralize recent, popular, or specific category posts into a single cross-site query.

Key Features of the Post Indexer

  • Cross-site multisite indexing
    Scans all subsites in the network and records the posts in a central query table.
  • Automatic index updates
    Captures new posts, edits and deletions in real time as each blog updates.
  • Aggregated queries across the network
    Returns posts from multiple sites in a single query without needing to scan each blog separately.
  • Manual network reindexing
    Allows triggering a full reindex from the network admin dashboard when needed.
  • Compatibility with aggregator plugins
    Serves as a foundation for recent post widgets, global recent posts and cross-site search tools.

Benefits of the Post Indexer

  • Faster queries across the network
    Avoids heavy loops on each subsite and reduces database load on large networks.
  • Centralizing the network’s content
    Brings everything into one place, making it easier to display and filter posts from any blog.
  • Solid foundation for content discovery
    Enables search, listing and global curation features across subsites.
  • Simplified index maintenance
    On-demand reindexing keeps data consistent without intervening on each subsite.

Who Is the Post Indexer Intended For?

  • Those who manage a WordPress multisite network with multiple blogs and need to cross-link content between them.
  • You who maintain an editorial portal with sections spread across subsites and want unified listings.
  • Those who run educational platforms, city networks or communities on multisite that rely on global search.
  • You who already use global recent post plugins and need a reliable index underneath.

How to Download the Post Indexer

The Post Indexer is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it at Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin in the network admin, select the .zip and activate it on all sites. The file is complete and ready for immediate installation.

Those who maintain multisite networks with dozens or hundreds of blogs gain a layer of central indexing that enables cross-site searches and listings without overloading the database. The Post Indexer acts as a silent infrastructure beneath global recent post widgets, discovery pages and editorial curation tools between subsites, supporting queries that would be unfeasible when scanning each blog individually.
