If you add nocache / noindex / nofollow tags to the pages, Google will respect them and not index to begin with or if you add a robot.txt file to your website and ban the Google bot, that will also stop it from indexing new pages (don’t do both as the robot.txt will stop the Google bot from seeing the nocache / noindex / nofollow tags).

Tamojyoti, that’s a great question.

The plugin wasn’t specifically designed to appear in a post but if you add the following code to the plugin file (try around line 39):

add_shortcode('Crossslide', 'cr_wp_crossslide');

now, in a post or page you can add [Crossslide] and the slideshow will appear.

Do you have a list of your sub blogs?

If you do, the easy way to do this would be to use this function below to fetch a list of your blog posts:

function my_fetch_rss(link='') {
	$rss = fetch_feed($link);
	$maxitems = $rss->get_item_quantity(1);
	$rss_items = $rss->get_items(0, $maxitems);
	if ($maxitems > 0) {
		unset($list);
		foreach ( $rss_items as $item ) {
			$list .= "<li><a href='".$item->get_permalink()."'>".$item->get_title()."</a></li>";
		}
	}
	return $list;
}

For example:

<h2>thisismyurl.com</h2>
<ul>
<?php echo my_fetch_rss('https://www.thisismyurl.com/feed/');?>
</ul>

If you want to do the same for multiple you could add a foreach argument to the function and loop multiple blogs.

Sunsi,

If you have access to the theme (which it sounds like you do) there are two non-plugin options that are feature rich, with a fairly gentle learning curve.

Open Market (https://www.openmarket.com/
and
Google DFP (https://www.google.com/dfp/)

I use Google’s DFP for https://thisismyurl.com and https://regentware.com, it takes a few minutes to get used to but the results are fantastic. I can add my own campaigns and set rates, timelines etc. as well as allow Google to serve AdSense ads if they’re of higher value.

Hi Lucas,

There are a couple easy ways to test Google Bot Bling..

First, make sure that you’ve set your email address correctly in the admin control panel. Also double check there’s a filename in the Filename area.

Next, visit your website using the test argument. This should be formatted as https://www.thisismyurl.com/test=%5Bfilename%5D (but replace this with your filename and URl.

This will force Google Bot Bling to execute the code. Once that’s done, verify the code worked by opening https://www.thisismyurl.com/%5Bfilename%5D (again, replace this with your address / filename) and you’ll see that it executed.

If you’re not receiving an email, contact your hosting company to ask why. The plugin uses the PHP mail() function, some hosting companies disable or limit this feature.

That’s a great, easy to navigate theme! I love the social media icons and your pictures are really powerful!

Griffin, that looks fantasitic!

I’m curious, did you use the Widget features for the sidebar or is it all coded in the templates? What about the thumbnail, is that a feature image? I’m just curious how many of the new 2.9+ features you made use of.

Looks great, I found the footer a bit hard to read but otherwise it’s really nice and has some great pictures!

an easy fix for people having problems with the maintenance (my test servers seem voiltile with this ‘feature’ is to open wp-settings.php and comment out the following line:

// Check if we're in maintenance mode.
wp_maintenance();

it’s on line 50, simply make it:

// Check if we're in maintenance mode.
// wp_maintenance();

Roy, the third result introduces an odd span tag and looks like this:

<h3 class="posttitle"><a href="https://www.gangleri.nl/bookreviews/261/lull-bruno-frances-amelia-yates-isbn-0710009526/" rel="bookmark" title="Lull & Bruno * Frances Amelia <span class="search-everything-highlight" style="">Yates</span> (isbn 0710009526)">Lull & Bruno * Frances Amelia <span class="search-everything-highlight" style="">Yates</span> (isbn 0710009526)</a></h3>

There are two possibilities I can think of, either your theme is trying to highlight the word “yates”, in which case you can edit the search.php to fix that or you’re using a plugin which is trying to improve the search results and inserting the “search-everything-highlight” class into your results.

What I can tell you with certainty is that it does not show up on my site, when I search for anything and is not part of the core package. https://www.thisismyurl.com/?s=wordpress

wenu, is there a reason you’re staying with this specific hosting company? It seems that their support for WP is pretty limited, have you considered moving to a more compatible environment?

Remember, WordPress is a piece of software (just like Photoshop or Word) and the computer (in this case a server) running it needs to have it installed properly.

That’s very strange. Are you sure you’re adding the https:// before hand? I’ve had a couple people ask me about this but I’m never able to replicate it.

Hi Polyband,

I’ve tried to replicate the error you’re experiencing with the install and can’t. There’s a new update (0.6.7) that I’ve just released. If it occurs there as well, please let me know right away.

Also, with regards to custom graphics … are you using custom graphics in place of the existing (eg. replacing the graphic files) or are you adding a new folder to the /images/ directory?

Ipstenu, thanks! I’m not able to replicate this on either on my test servers but I’ve see the error before.

I’m in the process of removing the settings file altogether and should have it fixed up by the 1.0 release.

I’ve included the shortcodes in the 0.6.7 update, thanks.

wonderfullyrich, as of version 0.6.7 you can add the following shortcodes to your post:

[show_ourprogress_graphic] – shows the graphic

or

[show_ourprogress] – shows the amount raised
