I just want to add something that i figured out with the setup i was using. I still have Airpress on my site but am not actively using it anymore 1) because i was not able to use the Airpress short codes within the header tags to add the needed meta tags for SEO. 2) when i tried using Yoast it actually made my “Catalog” page disappear. 3) I am using GoDaddy WordPress hosting and i noticed at least once every night that when i would visit my site, it would be unavailable for a minute or two but no error logs on the server side or within the WordPress debugging logs showed any sign of the site actually being down. I think that particular issue was due to the caching that Airpress does. but that is beyond the scope of this topic.

For the sitemap, I tried two different plugins to try and build a sitemap automatically of my virtual pages. Yoast SEO and the Google XML Sitemap, neither of these plugins would add my virtual pages to the sitemap that it generated even though i had a “catalog” page that had links to each product page. I then tried https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ . The free platform that you do not have to create an account for actually generated a sitemap with all of my product pages listed. I then free created an account with them so that it would generate a new sitemap everyday automatically. BUT, that sitemap that it would generate automatically did not have the virtual pages listed.

I am not sure if that helps any and i know that part of this is beyond the scope of the topic but i just wanted to add input for what i have experienced.

I just tried it and it works like a charm. I do appreciate the info and the time you took finding that for me. I owe you a beer lol.

@fmixell

Thank you very much! I am downloading it now.

@fmixell

Thanks for the idea. I honestly have not figured out yet how you did that with the formulas but it did give me an idea. In my product description column I included some html <p> </p> and a few other things just to make the descriptions look presentable once they got to the website. So i created another column that is a text column, i typed the price in the comma and decimal place manually with no dollar sign and on the site i use the following..

$[apr field=”webMsrpPrice”]

The dollar sign in the front adds the dollar sign to the number giving it the look it needs. So this does work for now but i will continue to try and figure out what you did to yours as that would be easier.
