An Elementor Pro Archive template can stop WordPress from 404ing tag and category URLs that don't exist - returning a 200 soft 404, or a hard fatal if you use the Archive URL dynamic tag. Here's a drop-in mu-plugin fix and why it happens.
Elementor 4.1.3 can throw a fatal Call to undefined function is_plugin_active() on the front-end of lean installs. Here's the one-line cause, a drop-in mu-plugin fix, and why it only hits some sites.
If Elementor webhooks aren't sending or WPML can't connect to its servers on an AWS EC2 instance, the problem probably isn't WordPress - it's bind9 causing intermittent DNS failures.
If you use Elementor with a caching plugin, then the odds are that you’ve seen pages of your site lose styling after updates. It has been brought up multiple times on GitHub and WordPress forums, but it doesn’t seem like Elementor developers feel it’s their responsibility to fix.
If you've noticed performance issues on WordPress pages that contain a Contact Form 7 form, especially during traffic spikes, you might be experiencing an overlooked problem: uncached API requests.
There are several articles already out there on how to track Elementor form submissions with TagManager. Still, most seem to rely on an element visibility trigger, which is inefficient, or overly elaborate custom JavaScript.
On the 21st of November 2024, Google retired Sitelinks Search Box from SERPs. Although SearchAction is part of the schema.org standard, it was essentially a Google-specific enhancement.
If you find certain areas of your site not working after updating to Elementor 3.18, take this step to fix them.
When using certain CRMs and marketing automation tools, Contact Form 7 submissions can all look like they came from the same form. This is especially noticeable in HubSpot which uses the class on the form tag to identify each form. Unless you specifically add a class to the shortcode then it will look like any
When recently working on a WordPress website that generated pages from an API that aren’t stored in the main site database, I discovered that the W3 Total Cache admin bar link to clear the current page’s cache didn’t work. The ‘Purge Current Page’ link in the Performance menu item works by passing the current post
In the page caching settings of W3 Total Cache there is an option to flush the ‘Post Terms Pages’ when saving or updating a post. This clears the listing pages for any terms that the post has been added to, but it doesn’t clear the listing pages of any parent terms that aren’t checked, even
Get your Logo and Organization schema back after a Yoast update.
Yoast 11 introduced schema data added by default. If your site already has schema added through your theme then this may break.
If you were previously stripping Yoast HTML comments on your website then there is a good chance that updating to v11.0 will show the new schema data at the top of your website.
Are you continually telling people to optimise their image filenames before uploading them to a website? Do staff members keep assuring you that they will optimise their filenames in the future whilst having no intention of doing so? Have they said “I’ll go back and do it later” rather than taking 2 seconds to do
If you have a website using WooCommerce and have registered it with the new version of Google Search Console, it's likely that you will get an email notification about 'index coverage' issues for the /my-account/ page.
A new option was recently added to the official Mautic WordPress plugin (Version 2.1.0), but it won’t do anything out of the box. Here’s how to set it up to track extra information from your logged-in users.
This is a follow-up to the original post about adding Mautic tags to users based on what they view on your site. In this post, I’m going to add (or remove) tags after check out, based on the products that the user bought.
The official WordPress plugin for Mauitc comes with a number of shortcodes, which makes it easy to add Mautic forms and content into posts and pages. One of the shortcodes adds the ability to tag (or un-tag) visitors in Mautic depending on the pages they view. This makes it easy to tag visitors dynamically by using the
WordPress allows the upload of different filetypes to posts through custom fields, but it only understands certain file types by default.
I was asked to find a list of posts in a WordPress install where the body text contained a certain string. Subsequently, I discovered how bad the search is in the post listing screen and decided it would be easier to find them in the database.
