If you are using category name in permalink for a post, it’s not a good practice, especially, if you have two or more categories per post. Solutions: Use canonical link tag for the post and add it to your prefered absolute URL. Google will rank only this one and it won’t be as duplicate content.
You can use history.pushState to change the browser URL without reloading a page, and jQuery’s scrollTop method to scroll to the top of a specific element (and there are VanillaJS equivalents too). This will mimic the functionality of # anchors. However, like what Mark said, what your client wants is really weird. It is hard … Read more
I’ve set up YOURLS for and have been extremely pleased. With the wordpress plugin, it will automatically create a short url for you if there isn’t one. And with the Admin of YOURLS you can create your own custom short url’s to anything you want, granted it isn’t in WP Admin. I don’t believe you … Read more
This is one of the many optional features in WordPress.There is no real benefit in using any of these 2 structures, but here is some details for you: Organization: When you are building a website which will have a lot of uploads, it is always a good option to go for the year / month … Read more
Hi *@Bobby Jack:* You’ll have absolutely zero problem given your number of pages and posts. If you were looking at 5000, 10k, 25k pages or more, then start to worry. And the real problem is with categories as the URL base in the current implementation of WordPress’ URL routing (which I hope to see changed … Read more
Hi @CJN:, Your first question, moving the WordPress directory is handled differently from the rest. Moving WordPress from Subdirectory to Root: Go into /wp-config.php and add the following to defines (using your client’s domain instead of example.com of course): define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://example.com’); define(‘WP_HOME’, WP_SITEURL); 301 Redirects using template_loader and wp_safe_redirect() You can solve most of the … Read more
Ideally, SEO should always be handled by the theme. Actually, most plug-in behavior that impacts the front-end of a site should be handled by the theme. Plug-ins like All in One SEO are quick solutions for people who don’t want to invest the time required to re-code a theme they built, downloaded from a free … Read more
If you write your post titles in Bānglā but set the post slug in English, you can do this: function wpse117090_pre_post_link( $permalink, $post ) { return str_replace( ‘%posttitle%’, sanitize_title( $post->post_title ), $permalink ); } add_filter( ‘pre_post_link’, ‘wpse117090_pre_post_link’, 10, 2 ); Then change your permalink structure to, for example, /%postname%/%posttitle%/ (Please note that the above code … Read more
This should be possible. First, you’re lucky that www.mytravelblog.com/jakarta/myPostName/ already works, it shows you the post and doesn’t redirect you to the longer version (at least it seems to work on my side). That means you only have to work on the generated link, and not mess with the way incoming URLs are handled or … Read more
Thought this was a great question so I went digging. In default-filters.php on line 208 there’s add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘noindex’, 1); as of WordPress 4.1. The noindex() function in turn checks to see if you have set blog_public option to 0. If you have, it calls wp_no_robots() which is simply: function wp_no_robots() { echo “<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex,follow” … Read more
