Anyone know how to get this fixed?

Hey @webdevmattcrom – I’m having the same issue on my site:

SnellvilleFraming.com

You’ll see the message on the homepage. Would love to know what I can do to get it fixed. Can I put my own API key in there?

Some people need SEO, others don’t. There’s no point in wasting time, effort and money into something that isn’t going to help grow your business. If the only way your business can grow is by directly marketing to individuals and word-of-mouth, SEO just isn’t worth it. </aside>

page templates, where you have the content hardcoded into the page template

This was actually my original thought on how to do it. Have the pages created automatically, but reference the different page templates for each page. Is it a hassle to edit? Yes, but it allows my client to not worry that content is being changed.

Shortcodes that call back to the main site, is all I can think of

So basically, shortcode the ID of the associated page, and within the functions file, route that shortcode to look for the content of that page. In shorthand style:

WORDPRESS PAGE EDITOR
[content id=2]

FUNNCTIONS.PHP
function shortcode() {
search Main Site for id=2;
return $content
}

That’s not a bad idea at all. If I can hide those pages from the user who creates the new blog, that would work perfectly (to make sure thay dont “inject” their own content. The only issue left would be if I wanted to create a new page across all sites.

I actually may have found something that may do the trick. 3WP Broadcast. I’m going to give it a shot to see if it will work… Crossing my fingers.

Ipstenu –

SEO for this site is not a priority (I know that throws up red flags). The client that I am working with is working with people in an extremely niche market and will be advertising directly to those people. People would not be using search engines to find this information (it sounds crazy, but I promise you it’s true).

I’m completely down with keeping those “static” pages on the main site (therefore not duplicating them in any way when new sites are spun off). But, if those pages lived on the main site, how would you suggest making sure they keep the branding that the customer paid for?

Ipstenu – I would agree with you in most cases, but this one is slightly different. The purpose for these sites is to charge customers for the opportunity to re-brand my client’s content as their own, thus the idea for using MS as a platform. Does that make sense?
