hi @babylon1999

thank you for your feedback. as I researched the issue further, I realized that removing the nofollow might do more harm than good, though google says that nofollow really only works with external links. since apparently the ‘add to cart’ links shouldn’t be crawled in the first place, there was suggestions that it would be better to no index them. so I added the following lines to my robots.txt:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /*add-to-cart=*
Disallow: /cart/
Disallow: /checkout/
Disallow: /my-account/
thank you for everything!!!

hi @xue28,

thank you for your feedback and sorry about the delay but I needed to have some data to work with. after looking at the latest site audit from ahref, I’m pinging the ball back into your court (sorry about that!). it looks like things are pointing to woocommerce as all the offending links are related to ‘add to cart’ as evidenced by the lines below:

https://ragsnprints.com/product-category/ankara-dresses/?add-to-cart=4680?
https://ragsnprints.com/product-category/ankara-dresses/?add-to-cart=4687?
https://ragsnprints.com/product-category/ankara-dresses/?add-to-cart=4813?
https://ragsnprints.com/product-category/ankara-dresses/?add-to-cart=5701?
https://ragsnprints.com/product-category/ankara-dresses/?add-to-cart=5883?

there are hundreds of them! is it somethng that’s been flagged that doesn’t need to worry about? and why do we have those numbers?

Thank you for your assistance.

hi thank you for your feedback. I have to admit I’m as clueless as before. where can I find the ?the Select Options button? as far as plugin, the only seo I was using was yoast, until I read that rank math is better for woocommerce websites. so I removed it and am using rank math exclusively. do you have any suggestions which plugin I should be looking at? thank you in advance.

thanks for the feedback. sorry I tried it but it didn’t work.

thank you for all of your help. the issue has been resolved. though they didn’t acknowledge guilt, they sent me 2 css snippets that I used I had to tweak the second one to suit my taste because the font was a little too big:
1.
input.input-text {
padding: 10px 0;
}
2.(which eerily looks like the original snippet you sent me!)
woocommerce .quantity .qty {
font-size: 28px;
font-size: 2.8rem;
padding: 0;
width: 2em;
}
I reduced font size to 16px and 2.0rem respectively. I know about em though I don’t remember about rem.

now I see the problem. it’s not the size of the font or the padding. it’s the arrows are too small. so small on chrome that you can hardly tell what they are, much less to act on them. so it looks like it’s a woo commerce issue rather than the theme that I’m using. your thoughts?

thank you for your input. I agree. I thought this was minor and it was a shortcoming in the way that displayed. I’m sure the issue wouldn’t be in another theme. that said, this is a child theme. so editing it will not be affected by updates.

thank you so much. one question though: should I put it in the theme css or in a file in the woocommercee plugin? if so, which one please? thanks. I got a response from studio press. though they said they cannot assist in theme customization, they pointed me to where I should look> snippet as follows:

<input type=”number” id=”quantity_5d346a554d6ae” class=”input-text qty text” step=”1″ min=”1″ max=”20″ name=”quantity” value=”1″ title=”qty” size=”4″ inputmode=”numeric”> == $0

if I know where that snippet is located, I’m sure I will be able to modify it. thank you again.

thanks so much – again! I went ahead and added that line to the css but the arrows are still too tiny. I guess we may need to increase the size of the element.

thank you so much! it did solve the issue. now I have another issue but I doubt it’s theme specific. on the quantity box, you have something that’s hardly discernible. if you look closer it looks like an up and down arrow. I think I may need to contact studiopress for that.

what I mean is I downloaded contact.php file made some changes, reupload but I’m still getting the old version. that’s the scary part. it’s not updating! I’ve had issues like that for a while. I make changes to content, update, preview, old content. one client just told me there was no phone number on my site. I remember putting it there, then it was gone. how reliable is that?

no, I’m not using any of those. I have never experienced anything like this. that’s why I’m wondering ‘could be an issue with the web hosting company?’

thanks for the feedback. I know how to clear cache on my browser but how to do it from plugins?

thanks again.

thank you now for doing my education. I’ve been focusing on drupal for a while. now I’m getting serious about wordpress. so I’m gonna need some help!!!
