Hello, is there a guide and best practices as to how we can keep data from wordpress database in sync with Typesense using the Typesense wordpress plugin?

eg. Whenever a new data is submitted by a user through a form on wordpress/ when the data gets updated, the data needs to be updated into typesense automatically.

Hi WL, the WordPress plugin is for Post Types and traditional wordpress data, the currently implementation automatically indexes post types on update / creation / delete.
For forms and other implementation, it’s possible to do so - but customization will be required.

Thanks, will test it out. Another question. Is the wordpress plugin able to support the newly released vector search feature? Eg. Get data from wordpress backend -> generate embeddings using an embedding model -> import the embeddings back into typesense -> vector search
