Can you post a link to your page? Thanks.

Sorry but I have to disagree.

I googled: inurl:”gwboardoftrade.com/business-directory”, and three of the listings were indexed. They are from the 15th, 23rd and 36th page of the directory, so quite old, but they were indexed at some point.

When I inspected this page that isn’t indexed in Search Console: https://www.gwboardoftrade.com/business-directory/#!biz/id/5df4af30f033bff57038bdc0

This is what was reported:

URL is not on Google
This page is not in the index, but not because of an error. See the details below to learn why it wasn’t indexed.

Sitemaps: N/A
Referring page: None detected
URL might be known from other sources that are currently not reported
Last crawl: N/A
Crawled as: N/A
Crawl allowed?: N/A
Page fetch: N/A
Indexing allowed?: N/A
User-declared canonical: N/A
Google-selected canonical: N/A

When I inspected this page, that IS indexed: https://www.gwboardoftrade.com/business-directory/page/36/#!biz/id/5d3914b5afd691ba2f8ec68c

URL is on Google
It can appear in Google Search results (if not subject to a manual action or removal request) with all relevant enhancements.

Sitemaps: N/A
Referring page: None detected
URL might be known from other sources that are currently not reported
Last crawl: Jan 28, 2020, 3:27:57 AM
Crawled as: Googlebot smartphone
Crawl allowed?: Yes
Page fetch: Successful
Indexing allowed?: Yes
User-declared canonical: None
Google-selected canonical: Inspected URL

In both cases, there are no referring pages, which suggest that Google doesn’t see the links on the main page as referring links.

So based on that, I’d like to believe that if there was a sitemap, they would get indexed.

I also don’t believe that there’s no way to automatically generate a sitemap. Perhaps you meant the plugin isn’t currently programmed to generate a sitemap, which I understand. However, from a developer to another, we both know that there’s a way to generate a sitemap if MembershipWorks wanted to.

Please, help your client out here and provide a solution.

Thanks

This site is hosted on SiteGround, not WPEngine, but I created a ticket to check with the hosting provider. I suspect they’ll probably say the problem isn’t on their end.

Instead of having two vendors pointing fingers at each other, can you provide a way to create a sitemap for the business listings? We can manually submit it to Google Search Console to make sure Google crawls through them all.

Thanks

When you Google: site:https://www.gwboardoftrade.com/ greens Kelowna

The page that gets indexed is /business-directory/, and it gets indexed because it’s in the sitemap.

There is only one search result because the individual business listings aren’t getting indexed.

The listing for 19 Greens Kelowna Corp, is here:
https://www.gwboardoftrade.com/business-directory/#!biz/id/5baeafcdafd691881f962d30

This “page” generated using AJAX isn’t getting indexed, which is why if you Google searched for: site:https://www.gwboardoftrade.com/ “19greenskelowna.com”

It returned nothing.

I inspected “https://www.gwboardoftrade.com/business-directory/#!biz/id/5baeafcdafd691881f962d30” with Google Search Console, and it says the “URL is available to Google.”

With regard to the robot redirect issue you mentioned, even common browsers see links like /business-directory/#!biz/id/5baeafcdafd691881f962d30 as content on the same page, so I doubt they would get redirected, especially since it’s not even an integer that can be incremented at the end of the URL.

I still believe it’s an AJAX issue. Google crawls /business-directory/, but doesn’t follow the links which are just anchors. Without following the anchors, the info doesn’t get retrieved from MW via AJAX.

We need to get this resolved because having backlinks for SEO is one of the benefits of becoming a paying member. Please provide a solution.

Thanks

You’re very welcome and thanks for the feedback.

What would happen if multiple requests were to be processed at the exact same time?

Hi @hbkrajan24 ,

Probably because it’s made for Gutenberg, not Elementor.

For Elementor, try this free, light-weight plugin that adds a FAQ Schema widget.

It’s because you used absolute for position and now posts are overlapping on iPhone.

<div class="fts-mashup-post-wrap fts-feed-type-facebook fts-mashup-hide-name fts-mashup-hide-date" style="position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 755px;">

I used your instruction to make the columns responsive. It looks fine on desktop but on my iPhone X, images get overlayed by texts. I can’t use this product like this.
