I’ve got a similar problem. Using the WordPress 2024 theme and WooCommerce, Google says 386 products have the No-Index meta-tag in the header. I’ve tried two different SEO, neither of which remove it (RankMath and Yoast). Part of the problem is because these are virtual tags, like your robots.txt file, which means we have no control over these. If you’re going to create these tags we’ve got to have some control over them or we lose control of our sites.
I had a look an an earlier question about these tags where your advisor got completely the wrong end of the stick. Tee question was, as is mine, how do I remove these tags, Your answer was on how to create them,
So can you please tell us how to get rid of these meta-tags without having to resort to a SEO plugin that might not even work? And can you also please tell us why you even bother to create them in the first place? we WANT these things indexed.
OK, both sites are using the 2024 theme, both run WooCommerce, both have all the same plugins. On the first site Appearance > Editor > Themes > Templates > WoocCmmerce is the entry “Product Description Page” which is, of course, the template for the single product page. However, on the other site the same template is actually called Single Product. Why?
What you actually have here seems to be a lot of stuff that just doesn’t work. For instance you go into Styles > Additional CSS > Blocks then select Buttons. You can set the padding but nothing happens to buttons when you save. You can’t set the Margins here. look at the Buttons settings and you see
But in practise it looks like this
But then if you say “but that the Add to Cart Block”. well that has been set to
Sometimes it does appear, most often it doesn’t. In addition the SiteWide CSS option you mentioned certainly doesn’t link to the same place as the customize.php, and that’s a lot easier to find and use.
Actually it appears there a quite a few folders now in the ProductImages folder that shouldn’t be there IMO. After all the folder is for exactly what it says.
and it shouldn’t be there. Of course that folder isn’t writeable, it doesn’t exist. Can you tell me to to get it to reference the correct folder please?
In my case it seems to be a corruption on the page. I built a copy element by element and saved without the error. I am a b it concerned in case it returns though.
This seems to have started only with the latest updates. I don’t use Yoast and I get this message when trying to update the home page. This has to be either an Astra or WP issue.
I don’t want to add CSS to a specific block on just one page, I want the CSS to be site wide for specific things – like buttons, or images. For example in WooCommerce I use different image sizes for Mobile, Desktop and Tablets. I usually set that in CSS in a way that affects all Shop and Archive template pages. Having to set CSS for a block on each page is a retrograde step and defeats the objective of CSS in the first place, which was to reduce the number of times you had to do styling. Global settings should be easily accessible from the Appearances menu, shouldn’t have to open a page and then start hunting around to find something that was there in 6.2 but not in 6.3. Your documentation has not been kept up to date.
Thanks Andy,
I’ve managed to get 179,000 products on now. Breaking them down in to chunks of 8000 each. However, I’ve done to 3 times now (it’s on a dev box – VM running under VM-Ware Fusion) with different results on uploading each time. Once I had a claim of over 5000 duplicate SKUs but the next time that was 10. Files were numbered and uploaded in the same manner. AWS Works OK up to about 50,000 products then starts to slow drastically. At 179,000 a search can take 30 seconds. I’ve got a lot of ACFs 5 or 6 of which needed to be indexed. I’ve switched search to WPSolr which returns instant results, but isn’t quite as easy to set up or administer as AWS and the inability to show search results on the Home Page is irritating.
I may ned to put an additional 500,000 products on the site.
Once I tried exporting the entire database with phpmyadmin to save me having to re-upload. How could anyone create a product that can create export files that then can’t be imported by their own product?
Thanks for the info on the competition. It looks like WooCommerce is the only real option. It also integrates very well with a multi-store epos system call WooPOS.
I can’t help thinking that perhaps WooCommerce didn’t really do a good job of data modelling when creating the original product, but it’s now too late to change that I guess. I don’t think I’d have created products as a type of post. The problems with uploading seem to occur because of all the events needed to backup the creation of one.
