hi wpgeo team,
Thanks for updating the multilocations addon. adding the unique category description for each location through ajax is nice. it works now if we have many locations in our database. thanks, but i want to point out one more thing i observed.you have added this feature (unique description for each location) for better SEO, but it is still showing same category description for every category + location page (example.com/cpt/location/category/) if you open the category + location page direct in browser.
it works if user visits or changed a location page, then location stored in session and it display the location in category description. i guess when you have tested this feature, there is default location is set and it works. please open a category + location page, bookmark the url, close all browsers, now open that page with that bookmarked address. it will show “everywhere” in description instead of that location.
Search engines don’t use session while crawling, they will find duplicate description for every page. If location is extracted from url, then it is good for SEO
I am using the Seo Yoast plugin and want to customize the text in title bar for location home page template, i can edit the title for custom post type archives and category pages but unable to change the title for location pages. anyone have idea hot to change them according to location. currently It is appearing the same title for every location page.
/location/
/location/india/rajasthan/jaipur/
/location/india/maharashtra/mumbai/every page outputs the same title location-sitename
if we set geodirectory home page as website homepage and want to show normal posts in blog page. Title for website home page and blog page is same.
Please if anyone using seo yoast with geodirectory and noticed these things and have any idea to solve it. update me. Thanks
when we set geodirectory homepage as homepage of the website, we get two webpages displaying the same content. eg.
example.com and example.com/location/ bothe of these two pages output the same result. is it not duplicate content.
is example.com/location/ page is canonical to example.com
sorry to bother if it is already asked in any other thread. kindly share the link of other thread
Hi brian, if you are using functions provided by “vertuscraig” the location in title of category is pulled from the last added listing in that category. If the location for recent listing added in category is Delhi, then Delhi is shown in title tag.
Try the function i provided in page 1 of this thread. https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/should-we-use-an-seo-plugin/
Thx paolo for your response. Its great to hear that you people are already working on search outside the current location as an alternate.
I am not satisfied with your answer. The search form shouldn’t be limited to local search within current location stored in session. if it is then autocompleter should also suggest the keywords for that local search. It is a suggestion that search form must search and display the results for all listings.
just think as a simple user if he/she visit a listing in delhi, he may wants to search for different city with the form provided, doesn’t bother to change the location again and again. Thats what search forms are being used
What If any web developer don’t want to include location switcher in menu, how can user change the location for different cities.
This reply has been marked as private.Yes It is fixed now. Thanks WPgeo team
Hi Paolo,
I also purchased two addons (Multilocation and Custom post type) from themetailor. Now their updates are available but i can’t install them from wordpress repository. you wrote in above reply to sync themetailors account with geodirectory account. can you tell me how to syn both of accounts
Thanks in advance
i want to show this bug in geodirectory with this example
Open the demo site of wpgeo.directory and change the location from location switcher to australia -> new south wales -> Millers point
visit 4 star category in Hotels post type with this url which i bookmarked (http://wpgeo.directory/hotels/millers-point/4-stars/) in new tab)
Note: don’t close the browser
you find one hotel Heidelberg which is listed in this city in 4 stars category
Now close the browser and reopen and now paste this url (http://wpgeo.directory/hotels/millers-point/4-stars/) again
Note: dont open demo site first, paste this url in address bar
it will show you all hotels listed in 4 star category for a short span, till it redirect to the location nearest you. if the makers of geodirectory plugin disable the auto detection of user location they can find this bug.
i want to say if any user bookmarked a url for any category for easily access to visit that listings later and when he/she opens this site with bookmarked link and find all results instead of that specific location then what is the sense.
Hi bonzoren
Thanks for response. I understand what u explain. I exactly wanted to say the same thing that jaipur/hotels page should display the listings for jaipur only but it displays listing for all locations if you enter this url places/usa/newyork/newyork/hotels direct in browser address bar it will display all hotels, the same result of places/hotels.
if you visit the location page and select your newyork then places/hotels and newyork/hotels both display the hotels in newyork.
It stores location in session variables thats why the hotels category in all location show the same listings
when a bot crawls it index places/hotels as it is in sitemap.xml
now when bot crawls the location page it find links to places/usa/newyork/newyork/hotels in popular category widget
if it index this page the output was the duplicate content of places/hotels/
It means lots of duplticate pagesgoogle index the page which is linked somewhere. i have read it somewhere.
google index this page
example.com/places/hotels/provided in sitemap
and in
example.com/location/india/rajasthan/jaipur/page this page is linked
example.com/places/india/rajasthan/jaipur/hotels/if google index this, find the duplicate content of
example.com/places/hotels/Please explain it if anyone has an idea
