Marketplace plugin and SEO Framework

Hi,

Thanks for get in touch with us.

Sorry, I am not very clear with your requirement.

Do you want to make Vendor Dashboard (Store Manager) page SEO friendly?
Is this really required, as it’s not customer facing page. It’s like WP backend page.

Well, WCFM never hamper products or posts SEO.

It adds SEO component for vendor store page itself.

Thank You

Hi

Apologies for not being clear.

If you look at the page
https://shopstreet.ie/shop/david-louis-design/

The SEO info (title etc.) is that of the first product listed and not the SEO component for vendor store page itself (as added by the vendor.)

Look at browser tab / title bar – it says active chronograph watch. I would have expected SEO Title or Meta Description as added by vendor to be there and not the first product listed.

The Vendor has added “Personalised Gifts and Engraved Gifts Ireland” as the SEO title and that does not appear anywhere in the page / source.

If you right click and look at the page source you will notice that the SEO is being added by both the SEO Framework and by Marketplace plugin – howwever the SEO Framework info is being added to the page above that of the Marketplace added information which I think is causing the issue. / SEO Framework not picking up the vendor added SEO info.

Please advise,
Thanking you in advance,
Cheers J

HI,

Thanks for the URL.

Check this – https://ibb.co/6PSZnCt

WCFM Marketplace added required SEO meta tags for the page.

But, SEO Framework plugin added additional data as per first product from the list.

Try once Yoast SEO plugin – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wordpress-seo/

You will not see such issues.

Thank You

Hi WC Lovers!

I’m the developer of The SEO Framework ??

I did some digging, and I found that in this function, you’ve implemented compatibility with other SEO plugins.

I suggest, instead of maintaining compatibility with all those plugins, forwarding the data to WordPress’ API; this ensures lasting compatibility with all SEO plugins, and it’ll save you a lot of time on maintenance in the future.

For example, for the canonical URL, you can use filter get_canonical_url.
Ref: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/wp_get_canonical_url/
Drawback: This only works on singular query items.

And for the title, you can use pre_get_document_title, which is the modern version of wp_title:
Ref: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/wp_get_document_title/
Drawback: Note that some SEO plugins block access to this, to ensure API adherence.

This doesn’t come with its aforementioned drawbacks. To circumvent this, as for an easy compatibility layer with The SEO Framework, you’re able to switch off the meta tag rendering:

remove_action( 'wp_head', [ the_seo_framework(), 'html_output' ], 1 );

This must run after action init priority 0.

I believe other SEO plugins have a similar way of doing this.
With that, the WCFM Marketplace plugin can output its meta tags without conflict and ongoing maintenance.

What do you think? Cheers! ??

Hi,

I am using this WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace (WCFM Marketplace) plugin.
I need to change ‘store’ keyword with ‘agent’ keyword into those URL which have ‘store’ keyword.

Can you please guide me about this?

Thanks,
