What you can do is:
* Create a product like normal and just name it ‘Gift Card’ yourself and add the value.
* When someone buys the product ‘gift card’, generate a code and you’re good to go.
–> This way you would only use the plugin for generating codes and let customrs redeem it on your site. You just don’t use the giftcard option in woocommerce for creating one ??

This is what I would do since I want to send physical giftcards. My issue however is that the calculation in checkout is not working properly when using a giftcard of a certain amount that there should be a balance. It takes more than the cart total and I have no idea why. But if it works for you guys, this is the solution in my opinion when you don;t want to have the name, email, note at the giftcard.

Hi Kesbutters,

See my comment earlier. The file is not in your root, you should add it there yourself and it will overwrite the defailt virtual file of WordPress.

Ps. I placed it in my themes folder and worked perfectly.

Hope this helps!

Hi @stlewi85

I had the same problem. It seems I had my robots.txt file in the wrong folder!
If you look at your site and add /robots.txt at the end it shows you the actual file it uses. And this file is the default of WordPress.

Just put your robots.txt file inside you theme folder!

ps. I used this one and solved my problem:

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/

User-Agent: Googlebot
Allow: /*.js*
Allow: /*.css*

Your robots.txt is now:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Whatever I would like to try, I cannot change my robots.txt file?

How did you guys solve this? If I place it in my root directory it still shows the virtual WP file with:

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/

This file is not in my directory.. so where does it come from? i suppose a default from WP, but the question is how can I edit this ??

Same here..

According to webmastertools my only blocked source would be this: /wp-admin/js/media-upload.min.js It’s causing to block some pages on my site inclusing the homepage.

Is it normal that this file is inside the wp-admin/?

And I got confused with the solution; should we remove all in robots.txt and leave it blank or do we have to put the list in of disallow and allow?

User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
Disallow: /wp-content/cache/
Allow: /wp-content/themes/
Allow: /wp-content/plugins/
Allow: /wp-content/uploads/
Allow: /wp-includes/css/
Allow: /wp-includes/js/
Allow: /wp-includes/images/

OR:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
Disallow: /wp-content/cache/

User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /wp-admin/

OR:

******THE SOLUTION******
********************************

We should just keep all our robots.txt files blank from now on. There is no longer a need to block core wp directories.

Thanks!

If the conversation turns to that then it will be closed.

If it turns to what? What’s wrong with finding a solution together which can help more people who are looking for a solution of Kiala implementation aswel? I am not capable of this so I am not advertising or something.
Please explain.

Hi Cedric!

No, unfortunately not yet.. I think I’ll need to hire someone to implement this, maybe we can do this together? I have a great freelancer who I can ask if he can do this and what the costs will be.

Please let me know if you’ve found a way!

Hi Gagan Deep Singh,

Thanks I will try it! To change the site structure with SEO titles is not working. It has no influence on the sitename at the beginning of everypage.. For ‘productspages’ my setting are

%%title%% %%page%%

but in real life my page shows: sitename – seperator – title. I want it turn around: title – seperator – sitename.

ps. Why is my website showing in this post? I had made a google shortener because I don;t want my posts being visible in Google when customers search for my shop..?

Ok, Sorry! I see people with same problems comment to each other all the time so I thought it was normal to join and my post is only visible with the link, it does not appear in ‘how-to and troubleshooting’ for some reason.

Hi bhonn, these are two productpages that will show the issue:
https://www.lovelings.nl/product/accessories/beme-brass-pot/
https://www.lovelings.nl/product/beachwear/portsea-bottom-black/

Some productpages will show the images and then the other pages are working after that. Untill you will open the site again. It’s very strange and I think it’s a bug in Safari. It only happens on Safari mobile and only on productpages. Also the page is not ‘busy’ loading the images, the images just doesn’t appear (randomly). Sometimes after refreshing, the images appear, but not always. Its very strange :s

Is this only happening on mobile Safari by any chance? I have that same issue only on mobile Safari after iOS 8.x but for some reason I can not post a topic about it (not visible anyway). So if you have the same problem, I will just follow this post ??

The problem is solved!! Unfortunately I do not have the know-how because I had someone do it for me. It was pretty simple after I searched for an article about this issue and send it to the technical help I got ;).

Thanks for pointing out it had to do with elements not using https!

Hi,

I have found an article where they say it has to be changed in the header.php.
Mine at this point is:
<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> &raquo; <?php bloginfo('description'); ?><?php if ( is_single() ) { ?><?php } ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>

If I just change it to this, my homepagechanges aswell:
<title><?php wp_title('&raquo;','true','right'); ?> &raquo; <?php bloginfo('description'); ?><?php if ( is_single() ) { ?><?php } ?><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>

How can I exclude my homepage? I need my homepage to display: “sitename” >> “title”.

Thanks a lot for someone who can help me with this php!

Thanks so much James for clearing this up for me! I will try to figure out what elements are causing this.

Is it also possible to use the HTTPS connection only on the checkout page?

I don’t know if it would affect SEO when the whole site would be in HTTPS. Last time I tried, my site would stay HTTP unless you would click on the home-logo 2 times… So it would only be ‘secure’ to people who entered https (which will not happen) or clicked on the logo.

Thanks!

Thanks, I will look into that!
