SEO Plugin - Works with Menu Sets?

goldenoriental

Hi there,

I purchased the SEO plugin, but I wasn’t able to find a way to configure the menu category pages to configure the SEO / OG Image etc.

I am not using the TastyIgniter static pages or home pages, as this sits behind a WordPress install in a directory, so the only purpose for me to purchase the SEO extension was to ensure that the menu categories and other pages specific to TastyIgniter were properly optimised.

Can someone point me in the right direction? If this SEO extension cannot manage those pages, then it was an unnecessary purchase.

sampoyigi oh, 🙁 how can I go about getting a refund for that feature?

goldenoriental Refund issued, please delete the extension files from your site 🙂

Thanks! Also removed! I’ll be interested in re-purchasing if you’ll add the ability to customise the menu categories 🙂

goldenoriental You can consider doing it manually. For the main site you could change the Header (use child theme in admin themes and go to Header in -Partials. At the top of the header page you first declare some variables and then assign meta names and properties as for example:
<?php
$pgTitle=“Your title text”;
$pgType=“website”;
$pgCountry=“Country ISO code for example IN for India”;
$pgAudience=“International”;
$pgRobots=“NOODP,NOYDIR”;
$pgSitename=“Name of your site”;
$pgUrl=“https://www.yourpage.com”;
$pgImage=“https://www.yourpage.com/assets/media/uploads/yourimage.png”;
$pgKeywords=“keyword 1, keyword 2, etc”;
$pgDesc=“Description of your page”;
?>
<title><?php echo $pgTitle; ?></title>
<?= get_metas(); ?>
<meta name=“description” content=“<?php echo $pgDesc ?>”>
<meta name=“robots” content=“<?php echo $pgRobots ?>”>
<meta name=“keywords” content=“<?php echo $pgKeywords ?>”>
<meta name=“x-country” content=“<?php echo $pgCountry ?>”>
<meta name=“x-audience” content=“<?php echo $pgAudience ?>”>
<link rel=“canonical” href=“<?php echo $pgUrl ?>”>
<meta property=“og:type” content=“<?php echo $pgType ?>”>
<meta property=“og:description” content=“<?php echo $pgDesc ?>”>
<meta property=“og:site name” content=“<?php echo $pgSitename ?>”>
<meta property=“og:url” content=“<?php echo $pgUrl ?>”>
<meta property=“og:image” content=“<?php echo $pgImage ?>”>

You can browse the internet how to do this for each category page as well where obviously some of the variable are those on that page. Obviously some automation via database calls would be better but I do not know how to do that, this so far works for me in he absence of having more programming knowledge.

There are thousands of people that offer SEO services, including numerous rogue ones. We manage to get on top of lists without using any but following some basic principles. The code I posted above is a simple one that ensures that you have some of the essential SEO information for the main listing. So in my view, if you are on a low budget and decided to use applications as Tastyigniter that is not really out of the box and requires some understanding you can save the often ridiculous fees these SEO consultants charge. It is not rocket science, stick to the basics and you will get a good listing appropriate for your business. If you call yourself Apple then you will probably never be found except when you are Apple Inc.
