Archiving posts to categories

  • Hi,

    Can’t seem to find an answer to this, so any help appreciated.

    I have created some entries in the ‘Save even more with our voucher codes and special offers’ section on the front page of my website https://www.cashbackforcancer.com but can’t find how to delete the entries from this that are no longer relevant (i.e. date of offer has passed), while still keeping these in my category archives, to help with SEO.

    Is there an option somewhere that I am missing that would enable me to do this?

  • One way to do it is to have a special category code for posts that are supposed to appear in that section. And program the home page code so that only posts in that category display in that home page section.

    You will also assign those posts to the permanent category you want them archived in. When they have expired, you remove them from the home page category and they will no longer display on the homepage.

    As far as SEO, it is generally considered good SEO practice to not have your category archive pages picked up by Google as that creates duplicate content issues. Typically you want your singles post pages, and your static pages to be picked up by Google, not archives pages, category pages, tag pages, etc. If you use a plugin like All in One SEO it handles the details of all of that automatically.
