How To Automate Image Alt Tags In WordPress?

Leave a comment

Image alt tags are the text that sometimes appears in place of images. It is used to describe your image and make them search-friendly. When you use alt tags on your images, they become search-friendly and are more likely to appear on search results pages to visitors who are searching for them.

Default WordPress functionality allows you to alt tag images after you upload them on your website, all images show a field of title and alternative text where you can tag your images simply by describing them in brief.

There are also some free plugins that allow you to automatically alt tag your images. Auto image alt text (Alt tag, Alt attribute) optimizer for Google images is one such plugin which upon activation automatically starts adding alt text to your images uploaded on posts, pages, and also on products created on a WordPress Ecommerce installation.

The plugin is compatible with Pinterest, WooCommerce, TinyMCE, Page Builder by SiteOrigin, Elementor Page Builder, Gutenberg, Yoast, and provides you manual customization of alt tags other than those used by Yoast or page titles.

More than twenty percent of search queries are made on Google Images so if you are running a photo blog or share more images on your posts then using alt image tags is a critical step that should not be overlooked.

How To Stop Internal Pingbacks In WordPress?

Leave a comment

Pingbacks attempt to notify the website you have linked in your post but the default WordPress behavior sends a ping also to the posts you have interlinked within your website. This shows a trail of similar content in the comments section which some users find useful but annoying for others running bigger websites with lots of content.

You can separate trackbacks, pingbacks from the actual comments section for a better look or you can disable pingbacks sitewide from Settings -> Discussions page by unticking ‘Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the post’ option on your website but that also stops sending notifications to other websites which might be useful for bringing new traffic when you write articles linking to some external website.

Another way is to simply disable the self pingbacks on your WordPress website so that you don’t find new pingbacks coming for approval in the comments section after you post new articles linking to the posts within your website.

Simply install and activate a plugin called No Self Pings, once the plugin is activated, the self pings are gone. It also adds a new section on Settings -> Discussions page where you can specify more domains that you don’t want to be pinged.

Easily Bring Your Wholesale Business Online In COVID-19 Crisis

Leave a comment

The corona crisis has forced people to shop from home. The demand for the essentials is high as it was ever and the big eCommerce companies are failing to satisfy this demand on time. The reason is that the sellers registered on such eCommerce platforms are cleaning out their shelves in their local area and the delivery slots are going down because of the shortage of delivery boys and active courier services.

So this is the niche that wholesalers can fill by bringing their businesses online to serve both retail businesses and regular customers from their own mobile-optimized eCommerce website.

How To Bring Your Wholesale Business Online?

Bringing your wholesale business online is an easy task which you can do yourself simply by registering your domain name and subscribing to WordPress Ecommerce. The automated process of WordPress Ecommerce takes you to a step-by-step tour to help you set up your eCommerce website in minutes. The website can be used for both wholesale and retail purposes.

How To Serve Wholesale & Regular Customers Both From The Same Website?

Taking your wholesale business online has the same steps as bringing any retail business online and once your website is online you can make use of a plugin called WooCommerce Wholesale Prices to supply specific users with wholesale pricing for their product range. This is very simple, you can control pricing from the product editing page and manage wholesale users from the ‘Users’ section on your admin area dashboard.

Simply install and activate the plugin then navigate to the product you wish to enter wholesale pricing for. If the product you have selected is a simple product, you will find a wholesale price box on its general tab whereas if it is a variable product then each variation will have its own wholesale pricing.

Apart from this, you can change the user role to ‘Wholesale Customer’ for customers you wish to grant wholesale privilege.

Another plugin called Wholesale For WooCommerce Lite provides you the same set of options with the ability to sign-up your customers using a wholesale registration form and then you can assign them “Wholesaler” user role. With this plugin, you can also display the amount they’re saving on your products.

WooCommerce Team also provides you a wholesale addon called Wholesale For WooCommerce but that is a premium plugin.

Easily Fix All Broken Links On Your WordPress Site

Leave a comment

Error 404 is bad for your website as it takes visitors and search engines on pages they were not looking for. It not only happens when you have broken links on your website or when you change the permalink structure but also when someone mistypes your post URL or links to an errored URL.

The good thing is that you can fix all types of 404-not-found errors on your WordPress Website simply by activating a plugin called Link Fixer.

It works for all broken links that include broken post links, in-post links, page links, text widget links, and every link on your website or on some other website pointing to a broken page on your website.

Fixes All Broken Links In One Click

All you have to do is install and activate the Link Fixer plugin. Upon activation, it automatically redirects pages where WordPress fails to find any valid permalink by itself.

And before your website generates a 404 error page,  the plugin tries to locate your posts having similar words. As a result, all active and possible 404 errors get fixed across your website.

How Link Fixer Works?

The plugin does this by searching the database attempting to find any of the word values matching from the bad link in the process. After finding the best match, rather than issuing a 404 error page, it sends a redirect to that page, and hence the user sees the content they were looking for. Whereas, Google and other search engine spiders see the 301 redirects and update their results accordingly.

It is a very useful plugin while migrating form other blogging platforms to WordPress where the conversion process automatically removes words such as “the” and “a” from the permalinks and generates many not-found errors on your website.

The plugin also offers you some settings on your admin area dashboard Settings -> Link Fixer page where you can change any values to set your own parameters.

How To Test If Broken Links Are Fixed?

Simply mistype any permalink or temporarily add a broken link somewhere on your website then click that link to see how quickly this plugin works.

Leave a comment

You can set a minimum and maximum order amount in your WordPress Ecommerce website to make each order achieve a set amount before it gets placed on your WooCommerce based WordPress website.

“If you don’t have a mobile-friendly eCommerce website, you can make it now, with WordPress Ecommerce. You may also help others in doing the same by starting up as People’s Personal Outlet to build another income stream for yourself”

The new WordPress plugin Set Minimum Order Amount for WooCommerce enables you to quickly set a minimum order amount. Simply install and activate the plugin then navigate to the WooCommerce Settings page and set your minimum order amount.

If in case you need to set both minimum and maximum order amounts then you may use another plugin called Order Minimum/Maximum Amount for WooCommerce (instead of the above-mentioned plugin) to set required minimum and maximum sum with quantity for orders in your website. This plugin provides you more options such as:

  • You can set the minimum & maximum sum for orders
  • You can set the minimum & maximum quantity for orders
  • You can set different order amounts on a per-user role basis
  • You can exclude shipping and discounts while calculating the total sum of the order
  • You can display customizable user messages on cart and checkout pages
  • You can optionally disable customer from reaching the checkout page if in-case requirements are not met

Just as the first plugin, Order Minimum/Maximum Amount for WooCommerce settings can also be managed from the WooCommerce Settings page on your admin area dashboard. This way you can easily define the minimum and maximum order quantities for general and sales orders on your website.
