详情介绍:
- A search box anywhere. One shortcode,
[expressfind_image_search], or the ExpressFind Image Search block. - Five ways to give it a photo. File picker, drag and drop, clipboard paste, phone camera, or an image URL.
- Photos shrink before they are sent. A 6 MB phone photo becomes a few hundred kilobytes in the browser, so the search feels fast on mobile data.
- Results that can be worked through. Filter by rating, by number of orders and by maximum price. Sort by price, rating, orders or discount. Flick through each product's gallery without leaving the page.
- Every visual choice is yours. Colours, columns at three screen sizes, corner rounding, image shape, card shadow, text size and dark mode, with a live preview next to the controls. Every value is written out as a CSS custom property, so anything else is a couple of lines in Additional CSS.
- Your prices, not the supplier's. Pick from 46 currencies with built-in exchange rates, add a markup percentage, and round to .99. The supplier's own figure never reaches the browser.
- Affiliate ready. Append your tracking parameters to every outgoing link, set
reland target, and print a disclosure line under the results. - Import into WooCommerce. Search from your dashboard, then create a product from any result in one click, with the images copied into your media library.
- Results are cached by image content. The same photo searched twice costs one call, whatever the file was named or where it came from. Uploading a photo that is already cached does not even touch the disk.
- Rate limiting per visitor, over a window you choose.
- A site-wide daily cap, so a burst of traffic cannot run up a bill overnight.
- Logged-in-only mode when the search is for members.
- A usage screen with calls per day for the last month, so you always know where you stand against your plan.
- Searching is not local: it is answered by a third party API. Read the External services section below before installing, so you know exactly what leaves your site.
- Your API key is stored on your server and used only from PHP. It is never sent to a browser. It can also live in
wp-config.phpasSBIA_RAPIDAPI_KEYinstead of the database. - Uploaded photos go to their own folder, are given random names, cannot execute code, and are deleted automatically on a schedule.
- The search log records no IP address, only a salted hash used for rate limiting, and it can be turned off.
- Deleting the plugin removes everything, if you asked it to.
sbia/v1/search, template tags, and filters on the request, the results, prices and links:
$products = sbia_search( 'https://example.com/photo.jpg' );
sbia_search_box( array( 'columns' => 3 ) );
安装:
- Upload the
expressfind-image-search-for-aliexpressfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install it through the Plugins screen. - Activate the plugin.
- Open Image Search → Settings and paste your RapidAPI key.
- Press Test connection to check it works.
- Put
[expressfind_image_search]on any page.
常见问题:
Where do I get the API key?
The plugin uses the AliExpress Search By Image API on RapidAPI. Create a free RapidAPI account, open that API's page, subscribe to a plan, and copy the value shown for the X-RapidAPI-Key header. Paste it into the plugin's settings screen. The key is yours: usage is billed to your own RapidAPI account, and the plugin never sends it anywhere except to that API.
Does it work on a local site?
Uploaded photos are normally handed to the API as a temporary public URL, which a local site cannot provide. Switch How images are sent to As the image data itself under Settings, and uploads will work from any install. Searching by an image URL always works.
Does each search cost me money?
Every search that is not answered from the cache is one call against your RapidAPI plan. Turn caching on, set a per-visitor rate limit and a daily cap, and watch the usage screen. Those four settings are what stand between a busy day and a surprise invoice.
Can I show prices in my own currency?
Yes, and there is no rate to look up. Pick one of 46 currencies under Pricing & links and the plugin converts every price using a built-in rate, formats it with the right symbol on the right side, and can round everything to end in .99. The rates are approximate and fixed at release; if you track the real one, set an override, or hook the sbia_exchange_rate filter to feed in a live figure.
Left on the default, prices are shown exactly as the supplier quoted them, labelled with the currency they came in, such as CNY 4.09.
Can I add my affiliate ID to the links?
Yes. Put your parameters in Extra link parameters as a query string, for example aff_id=12345&campaign=photo. They are appended to every product link.
Do the results look right in a dark theme?
There is a full dark palette, and it can follow the visitor's own system setting, or be forced light or dark per page with the theme attribute.
Can visitors search using images already on my site?
Turn on the hover button under Settings → Extras. A small Search this image button appears on the images you choose with a CSS selector, and the results open in a pop-up.
Is WooCommerce required?
No. It is only needed for the one-click product import, which is otherwise hidden.
