Removing Deleted Pages Of Your Website From Search Engine Results

When you delete any web page of your WordPress Website, it stays there on the search engines archive index for a very long time and the users following that link notice error pages.

This lesson will guide you in two things,

  1. How to redirect those broken page links to something relevant?
  2. How to ask search engines for removing deleted pages?

Fixing Links For Deleted Pages

Link Fixer, previously known as Permalink Finder is a very useful WordPress plugin that fixes all not found errors on your website.

Simply install it from Plugins -> Add New page of your WordPress site. Upon activation, the plugin automatically redirects all broken links internally and externally i.e. your website links present on search engines and other websites to something most relevant instead of showing a 404 not found error to your visitors.

Updating Search Engines

To update search engines like Google for removing deleted posts and pages of your website from their search index, you simply need to install and activate the Remove Deleted Pages from Search Index plugin on your WordPress site.

Upon activation, the plugin implements the 410 HTTP status code for all deleted web pages of your website, as that tells search engines that the web page is no longer available and must be removed from the index.

Suppose you change your site name or you write about something whose name has been changed or maybe you have found a better word or you have updated your promotional slogan and now you want to update it all over your website. This can be easily done by following a few easy steps given in this lesson.

Login to your WordPress site and navigate to Plugins -> Add New page. Use the search box to find the ‘Text Replacer‘ plugin. Once you find it simply install and activate it.

The plugin has been programmed keeping non-technical users in mind so anyone can make use of it.

Once you set the dates, create a new page from Pages -> Add New and paste the shortcode [rsvp]. This page will allow people to enter their names to complete their RSVP which means reply if the event pleases you and you want to attend it.

Apart from the page that is created for visitors, you can manually add the guests too from the admin panel of the plugin and the list of attendees will be created that will help you to know how many people are attending the event.

Improve Search Engines Crawl On Your Managed WordPress Website

Crawling is a process used by search engines to find content and present it to the people searching for it on the internet. In this process, search engines like Google send robots known as crawlers and spiders to find content on blogs and websites.

They not only take new content but also look up the updates made to content on websites. This content could be a blog post, image, video, or file such as PDF but anyhow of the format, the content is generally discovered by links.

Generally, websites contain a lot of information in headers which is not useful for many of us and instead makes the website insecure. For example, WordPress headers contain information about plugins and themes used on the website. This lesson will guide you on how you can remove such things on your website to better the crawl rate, make your website load faster and be more secure.

How To Remove Unnecessary Information From Your Header?

To make your website load faster, have a better crawl rate, and perform more securely on the internet you will need to remove unnecessary information from the header. This can be easily done by a plugin you can install on your website.

Simply navigate to Plugins -> Add New page on the admin area dashboard of your WordPress site and search the term ‘Crawl Optimization’.

Install and activate this plugin and it will deactivate elements such as short links, REST API links, RSD/WLW links, oEmbed links, generator tags, and X-Pingback headers to streamline website navigation and reduce the amount of data transferred.

Have A Faster, Secure & Easy Crawlable Website

As a result, your website will become faster as unnecessary data transfer and streamlining navigation are now minimized. SEO is enhanced as your website is not easily navigable by search engines. The crawl rate improves as the plugin removes all unnecessary links and information from the HTTP headers of your website.

Install An Event Theme

Since you are starting an event management website then it would be better to install a theme designed especially for your business type as that will give a professional feel to your website.

You can install such themes from the Appearance -> Themes page by clicking the ‘Add New’ button. Simply search the term ‘Event Management’ in the themes search box and you will see that there are many themes you can choose from.

Create New Categories

The design of your website will only look better when you will have content. So create content by adding new blogs and pages with photos and galleries. Navigate to Posts -> Add New page, here you can write posts and also classify them under categories and subcategories using the categories meta box present in the right sidebar’s ‘Posts’ section.

Create Necessary Pages

Similarly, you can create pages from Pages -> Add New page. Unlike posts that display new on top on the home page of your website, pages look stand-alone. Some common examples of pages include an about page and a contact page.

Display Menus

By displaying menus you can show your clients what content you have on your website and make browsing easier for them. You can create and manage menus from the Appearance -> Menus page to show categories and page links on the header of your website.

Install Plugins

You may also install some useful plugins to make your website more featureful and better. Visit Plugins -> Add New page and search for the feature you want to add to your website.

For example, to display social sharing buttons on your website simply search the term ‘Social Sharing’ and you will be presented with a number of social media sharing plugins you can select from.

Event Posting

A plugin called ‘Event Post‘ makes blogging more specific to event managers by adding more meta-data to posts to convert them into full calendar events. Each event can be exported into iCal, Outlook, or Google Calendar.

It also offers you an option to show Geolocation and automatically fetches the weather of the place where the event is going to happen.

  • Custom Color
  • Event Status
  • Event Attendance
  • Address of the place
  • Weather & Temperature

How To Use Managed WordPress For Writing Lessons, Treatises & Essays As Blog Posts?

Managed WordPress at Sangkrit.net is a packaged service that lets you create and manage any kind of website you want with all built-in SEO, security, and backup software.

To start your website you will need to register your domain name and then subscribe to a Managed WordPress plan. Once you do that, the automated process will guide you to the admin area of your website where you can create new pages and posts.

This lesson is about using WordPress to write long articles as blog posts. For very long articles such as essays and lessons with multiple headings, you need to add a table of contents at the top of the post to ease things for your readers.

Create A Category

The category feature on your WordPress site lets you create a hierarchical structure of categories that you can assign to your posts. Suppose you are willing to post lessons on a certain subject. Simply create a category in the name of the subject and then assign all lessons to that specific category. This is done while writing posts from the Posts -> Add New screen.

You can also add a link to the category on your website from the Appearance -> Menus page. The category link can be obtained from the Posts -> Categories page where you can also manage all other categories on your website.

Enable Table Of Contents

Next, each article will have its own headings so to make a table of content simply install a WordPress plugin called Automatic TOC – Table of Contents. Next, all you need to do is paste a shortcode [toc] in your post wherever you like the table of contents to appear and it will automatically create and display a TOC from all heading tags you have used in your post.

Easily Enable Voice Typing On Your WordPress Blog

You can easily convert your voice i.e. your speech into text while writing blog posts on your WordPress Website. You simply need to press a button on the ‘Add New’ post page and then start dictating your words and you will see that your voice is being converted into text automatically.

To start you need to have a WordPress site. If you yet don’t have one you can make it now simply by registering your domain name and then subscribing to a Managed WordPress plan.

How To Convert Your Voice Into Post?

Log in to your website and visit Plugins -> Add New page. On the search box type the keyword ‘Speech to Text’ and press the Enter key. Now install the ‘Speech to Text’ plugin and click the ‘Activate’ button.

Visit Posts -> Add New page and you will see a new meta box with the title ‘Speech to Text’ has been added by the plugin. On this meta box, you simply need to click the ‘Record’ button and start speaking your thoughts and it will work like a writer writing everything for you.

You don’t need to type anymore but that doesn’t means you cannot write with a keyboard. Voice-to-text works as an add-on feature that is surely going to help you in reducing the load of typing through your fingers.

Chrome browser is necessary for the feature to work and the microphone is the hardware required by the plugin. If you are doing it on a mobile or laptop, they already have one.

Selling Products With Variations In Your WordPress Ecommerce Website

WordPress Ecommerce allows anyone to start his own online store simply by registering his domain name and then subscribing to the WordPress Ecommerce plan.

This lesson teaches you how you can sell products that have multiple variations such as color and size etc on your WordPress Ecommerce website.

There is a feature called Variable Products that allows you to offer a set of variations on any product, with control over pricing, stock, image, and more for each variation.

These can be used for selling products such as clothes and shoes etc where you can offer a large, medium and small and in different colors.

First – Set the product type – For adding a variable product, simply create a new product or open an existing one to edit on which you want to add variation. Now select Variable product from the Product Data dropdown displayed in the Product Data section.

Second – You need to add attributes that you will use to set the variations:

Adding Global Attributes

To add a global attribute: Simply select one from the dropdown and click Add. You may choose to select all options for adding all attributes to the variable product.

Now tick the Used for variations checkbox to set it as your variation.

Adding Product-Specific Attributes

If you want to add new attributes which are only specific to this product then select Custom product attribute and click Add button.

Set this as required:

  • Name the attribute such as Size
  • Set values separated by a vertical pipe (like this – small | medium | large)
  • Now enable the Used for variations checkbox and then click Save attributes.

Finally, Adding Variations

On the Variations section in the Product Data meta box visible on Add New and Edit product screens, Select Add variation from the dropdown menu, and then click Go.

Select attributes for your variation. You can change additional data, click the triangle icon to expand the variation. Here you would be able to edit any available data. The only required field is Regular Price. Select your options and save changes.

That’s it. Now on the front end, while viewing a variable product, the customer will be offered options to select a variation. Selecting the options will display information about that variation.

Enabling Face Recognition Login On Your Managed WordPress Website

Whether you run your website over Managed WordPress or WordPress Ecommerce, you can secure your website or online store by enabling facial recognition that works from your smartphone or laptop, anything that has a camera.

By enabling it on your website, you will no longer need the username and password and it will also add more security to your website as the bots attempting to log in and the brute force attack won’t get anything.

To set up face log in simply login to your website and install-activate the new WordPress plugin called FiD Facial Recognition Admin Login. Then, visit its settings page and enter the required information. You will need to use a pin number and your face for authenticated login.

Next, to start securing admin user accounts, navigate to the ‘Users’ tab, enlist the admin account and follow the instructions. As soon as a user is enlisted, the plugin will start to protect his login by implementing facial identification.

How To Setup A Global Selling Store With WordPress Ecommerce?

Anyone can start abroad selling by setting up an international store with WordPress Ecommerce. Then, let people know about it by blogging about your business and implementing Search Engine Visibility.

You can do that all on your own, it is no more a difficult task when you are using WordPress Ecommerce.

Start Your eCommerce Website

Making Your Website Multilingual

Since you are going global so selecting your store’s language is an important thing to do. Not all countries speak English but many do. So you can either just stick to English which is the default selection of your website or if you have chosen some other language you can easily change it from your admin area Settings -> General -> Site Language section.

Alternatively, you can make your website multilingual and also add a ‘Translate’ option to your website by installing a plugin called Weglot Translate.

Selecting Payments, Taxes & Shipping Options

The next important thing, you need to do for global selling is select and set up the payment options. PayPal is one global payment option but there are more options you can select from such as Square, Apple Pay, Direct Bank Transfer, E-Checks, Card Payments, etc.

The payment options can be configured from your eCommerce Settings -> Payments page. The tax calculation can also be implemented as per the client’s location from eCommerce Settings -> Tax page. Similarly, shipping can be configured from eCommerce Settings -> Shipping page.

Adding Products For Sale

Once you have selected your options you may start adding products to your website for sale.

These can be done from the Products -> Add New page. Don’t forget to add a featured image and the price of your product. All fields are there, you can easily use them for adding your product details and pricing, etc.

Securing Your Website

You should also keep your website protected and keep customers safe. SSL is automatically implemented on WordPress Ecommerce websites but you should also subscribe to Website Security which is a comprehensive and simplified security solution for all site owners.

Enabling Customers Support Messaging On Your WordPress Ecommerce Website

You can allow customers on your WordPress Ecommerce website to send queries or messages to you. These may include:

  1. Product information
  2. Order-related messages
  3. Refund-related messages
  4. Dispute-related messages

This way you can get closer to your customers by satisfying their queries while they make a purchase. When someone sends a message, the shop owners are also alerted by email. You get notifications on receiving new messages from shoppers.

In many cases, shoppers sometimes need more information about specific points, and when that information is not given to them they leave the site. Providing email support and customer care online is good but this direct messaging feature makes the process handier for your customers. This also gives the shop owner a chance to land a sale.

How To Setup Messaging On WordPress Ecommerce?

Simply install-activate the new plugin called Inbox For WooCommerce. Upon activation, the plugin enables your customers to easily inquire about any product right from its page.

At the backend, the plugin also provides you with an interface to manage messages from your WordPress dashboard. Each message sent from shoppers are handled as a ticket by the shop owners and moved across different status until it is resolved. You can also assign these tickets to other members.

Reduce The Time CSS Takes To Load On Your WordPress Website

In the case of CSS, there are two factors that affect the loading of CSS on your website. First is the size of the CSS file working on your web page and second is the number of CSS files actively working on your web page.

Hence, if your website is taking longer to open then CSS could be one reason. To resolve the issue you should choose your WordPress theme wisely. You may stick to the default WordPress theme or select one from the popular WordPress theme by clicking the ‘Most Popular’ filter on Themes -> Add New section because popular themes become popular when they perform better.

Now if you have a good WordPress theme and your website is working fine. Still, you can reduce its loading time by lazy loading necessary CSS files on your website.

How To Lazy Load CSS On Your Website?

Simply install-activate the new WordPress plugin called Lazy Load CSS. Upon activation, visit the plugin’s settings page on your dashboard and specify the CSS stylesheet files that you want to lazy load, and the plugin will do the rest.

What CSS Should Be Avoided?

Lazy-loading important CSS files of your theme or CSS files used on the viewport or above the fold may result in issues with the design of your website.

You should only lazy load the CSS that is below the first fold of your website. That means lazy load only those sections that appear when a user scrolls down on your website. In other words, lazy loads only the content that is not visible without scrolling otherwise the first view of your website could be blank for some seconds, and that is something nobody wants.

The plugin works well in reducing the time your website takes to load and improving FCP i.e. First Contentful Paint as well as LCP i.e. Largest Contentful Paint scores, and the overall performance of your website.

If you yet don’t have a website you can easily have one by registering your domain name and subscribing to a Managed WordPress plan with or without the eCommerce option and the system will guide you in bringing your website online in less than an hour.

Enabling WordPress Ecommmerce Payment Options By Customer’s Location

The lesson guides you on how you set different payment options on the basis of the customer’s location. For example, suppose you want to accept direct bank transfers only from users located in your country or you want to accept cash on delivery only from nearby customers.

By installing and activating the new WordPress plugin called Dynamic Payment Gateways for WooCommerce, you can set payment options to your customer’s location. You can disable certain payment gateways by geolocation of your client which is auto-tracked by your website either from the billing address or the IP address.

Payment Gateway Variation

After activating the plugin, click WooCommerce on your dashboard’s side menu and click the Dynamic Payment Gateways tab to enable or disable payment gateways by country. By using this plugin you can ensure that your website offers a relevant payment method to your customers.

How To Add FAQ Section On Products In WordPress Ecommerce Website?

Before we start you should know that anyone can make his eCommerce website by registering his domain name and then subscribing to the WordPress Ecommerce plan which can be enhanced with free plugins available in the WordPress plugin repository.

Install-activate the new WordPress plugin called Product FAQ For WooCommerce. Upon activation, visit the plugin page from the Dashboard -> Product FAQ section.

Here you can enable the section, and set its position, color and heading. Once enabled, you will be able to add your FAQs on every product page.
