Auto Tag Stop Words

Hi @dounsa

At the moment, we don’t have any common stop words in the plugin.

You can manually exclude some existing terms using that feature: “Choose terms to be excluded from auto terms.”

Thank you for your answer. Right now if the title has the words to,the,here, etc… the auto term creates tags from these useless words.

So now, I have to list these in the “Choose terms to be excluded from auto terms.” section as follows:
to,the,here,his,her,…..

Each word should be comma separated, correct?

Is there a limit on how many stop words I can include?

Hi @dounsa

The Auto Terms feature won’t generate any new terms for you. It will only match existing terms that you already have on your site.

The only exception is if you’re using Dandelion or Open Calaias.

Ok Got it…. That means it picks whatever tag matches the title and content from existing tags. If a tag already exists for “to” for example, it may pick it up.

It would be nice to add an option for cleaning existing tags based on common list of stop words.

I see a lot of rich features in the Free plugin. I really appreciate all the efforts that went to develop this important plugin for Blogs and WooCommerce (PRO version).

By the way, I tried “related posts” but got a fatal error on some posts. I digged into the cause, it was a PHP code in the child-theme function.php file related to “Shortening Product Titles” In the archives.

Here is the code that I had to remove to solve the issue:

// Note: substr may give you problems, please check Option 3
add_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘shorten_woo_product_title’, 10, 2 );
function shorten_woo_product_title( $title, $id ) {
if ( ! is_singular( array( ‘product’ ) ) && get_post_type( $id ) === ‘product’ ) {
return substr( $title, 0, 34); // change last number to the number of characters you want
} else {
return $title;
}
}

@dounsa Yes, that’s correct. We will probably change the name of this feature to “Match Terms” because that’s what it does. It matches your current to existing terms.

I would recommend this plugin to all WordPress users. It would help in SEO ranking for sure.

Thanks so much @dounsa

We’ll take a look at the Related Posts error

Yes I have left a well deserved 5 Star review a couple of days ago.

“I have just used this free plugin on my website and found it to be amazing and essential to manage my Post tags and categories. The Free version only works with Blog Posts, the pro version works also with Products Tags and Categories.

The features available such as keylinking, related posts, and auto tagging are super essential for boosting SEO for the site. Thank you for the developer for such a tool.

I am going to implement this on all my websites and hopefully be able to order the PRO version as well.”
