Hi, We haven’t had the chance to test it yet but there shouldn’t be any reason for it not too. If there is an issue though, then we will get it fixed ASAP.

By the way, the url don’t even change after updating WooCommerce to 2.1.0

I’m looking into the Woocommerce 2.1 issue.

If there is any update, please let me know.

Try resetting the links by either re-saving the permalinks in wordpress or re-saving the SEO settings in Woocommerce -> Settings

Depends on how much I get done over christmas Hopefully within the next few weeks.

Hi guys – just wondering if you ever got around to including this in an update since our last back and forth? Many thanks

Apologies, completely forgot about this bug in the rush to get the plugin updated for Woocommerce 2.1. I’ll try and get this in within the next few weeks.

Replied.

I just want to take the time to tell anyone considering buying this plugin that the service and support behind the name Code Ninjas is just awesome. They went far and beyond what was expected of them, and I cannot speak highly enough of their support service.

Theres nothing stopping you from using both, but a few users have mentioned that when they try to use my plugin for meta titles and descriptions for product categories, then yoasts plugin override my plugin.

I’m planning to update this plugin soon and will try to fix this. Other than it, it should work fine.

Hi,

Do you have any Wordpress SEO plugins enabled? If you do then its that plugin that is outputting the second meta description and you will need to somehow disable that from handling meta details for Woocommerce.

If that isn’t the case then you probably have the meta description hardcoded into you template files.

Have a look in the header.php file in you template for the meta description tag.

Hi, yes it does allow you to add unique meta title and descriptions for each category. The H1 tags on the category page a determined by your template and will need to be changed in there.

Hi,

The plugin won’t do that. It only effects Woocommerce pages. You could use Yoasts Wordpress SEO plugin to rewrite the page title to how you want it.

However, if you only want to remove the Site name and not bother with all the other SEO features that the plugin adds then all you need to do is modify your themes header.php file and remove it from there (search for the <title> tag)

Simple!

Thank you!

The problem parkerphotographic had was that he had a product category called Blog (which was empty) and a page walled Blog and the URL from both was /blog. So when he thought he as acessing the Blog page, he was actually seeing the Blog product category.

So, check that you do not have a product category that has the same slug as your page.

Hi,

The reason that happens is because of the way the plugin is designed.

Basically, all the ‘pretty’ URLs need to be created and linked to their ‘ugly’ counterparts. When a user goes to a pretty URL, Wordpress knows to shows the page as if the ugly URL was requested.

Whenever you save permalinks in Wordpress, or save the Woocommerce settings, all the pretty URL and deleted. They are created on the fly whenever the layered navigation widget is displayed.

So whats happening is, you are saving something, which deletes the pretty URLs and then when you try to access the URL directly, it hasn’t been created (ie Wordpress doesnt know about it) and so it shows a 404 error.

The quikesst fix for you would probably be to add the URLs directly into your .htaccess file (or download a plugin tha will provide an interface and do it for you)

Hope that helps

Hi there,

Thanks, this sort of makes sense. I am not sure on how to fix it still though. When you say add to my .htaccess file, are you saying to add 301 redirects? If you could be a little more specific I’d be very grateful. The reason I had to buy this plugin was because of my need to directly link to pretty URLs, so any help would be massively appreciated.

Many thanks,

The easiest solution for you would be to download a plugin that provide an easy way to add rewrite rules to Wordpress. Something like this (http://wordpress.org/plugins/rewrite/).

Then simply add your pretty URL and the matching ugly URL and that will ensure the URL are always in Wordpress.

Hi,

Apologies for the late reply. You have a few options to add a trailing slash.

First option is you can add it directly to the widgets file. Go to widgets/layered-nav.php. Depending on your layered navigation view (dropdown or list) you have simply added a slash where the link is being output (line 177 or line 324).

The second option is to add it to the function that creates the link. For this, go to woocommmerce-seo-widgets.php and in the function woocommerce_seo_add_rewrite_rules simply add the slash to the return value (line 168)

Hope that helps

Hi,

It depends. If the old URLs have been indexed/live for a while then yes, 301 redirect them. If its a new site that has just gone live then theres no need.

Thanks for confirming that, look forward to the rich snippets plugin, would it come together with Google Merchant XML feed function at all>

Not too sure yet, but i can look into it and if its possible i’ll do it. Thanks for the suggestion.

That’d be awesome if you could include that too, as it plays a very important part of SEO. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Seems a little weird. It definitely works with Woocommerce 2.0+. Can you have a look in wp-content/plugins to see if the woocommerce-seo folder is in there.

Hi,

Yes you can. On the category page you need to call the following function:

get_woocommerce_term_meta( $categoryid, 'woocommerce_seo_meta_desc', true );

Replacing $categoryid with the category ID. Alternatively, if you want the page title for the category replace woocommerce_seo_meta_desc with woocommerce_seo_page_title.

Hope that helps

ooops sorry comment above this sorts this! my bad

Hi,

Yes. The plugin options allow you to only enable the bits that you want to use.

Great – thank you for your quick response.

Hi,

No it would not. Im assuming store is your shop base. The plugin does not remove the shop base, not the product category base.

Hi,

I’m not too sure what to tell you. You could use the plugin to automatically create meta titles and descriptions for you using the templates. These will then also be used when users filter down your products using the layered navigation widget which the all in one plugin does not do.

Other than that, if you have the desired functionality you want without my plugin than to be honest its a wasted purchase.

I think my problem is more than i just don’t know what’s best. I’m just kind of hoping what ive done works out for the best and if you’d any tips it’d be great. I’ve left your plugin on with the top two options selected and the others unselected. Hopefully that helps improve my seo. If you think it might conflict with it, then please let me know. Ive clearly no idea what i’m doing. :/
