Can plugin be enabled or disabled for specific categories?

    The issue we are having with the other reordering plugins seems to be related to having a large volume of posts and also creating new posts in batches. We are a news organization and we use the Associated Press API to ingest new posts, and it runs every 10-15 minutes. Every time the Associated Press API runs it brings in a substantial number of new posts. So, for example, if the API adds 50 posts to the database, the plugins we have tried are executing 50 times and causes our database to lock up. If we could select specific categories to enable or disable that would really help.

    that’s an interesting problem.

    However it will require more details to understand how to solve your issue.

    Currently the plugin hooks ‘transition_post_status’ action (part of post saving process) to trigger the ranking mechanism.

    Switching off this trigger would mean that your newly ingested post are not being ranked, so i am assuming you want to be able to trigger a batch update process for the newly ingested posts.

    If you have an in-house developer, you could get them to add this functionality to the plugin by doing a PR on the github repo which I would be happy to include in the next release.

    Alternatively you could reach to me on vrata at syllogic dot in so as to see if you would be willing to sponsor this update?

    Hi,

    Regarding the original post, we are looking into an enhancement to allow us to select the categories that we would like rank and ignore the others.

    makes sense now 🙂

    select the categories that we would like rank and ignore the others.

    do you have a github account? It would be best to continue this conversation on the repo as we can then explore the code and I can guide you on how to modify the code
