Event pro reoocuring events creating SEO issues

[Shirly Gilad]

1. In reoccurring events it shows as if there are duplicate title tags and meta descriptions. This is an SEO no no. My SEO person suggested adding the date for each event to resolve for this.
2. Is there an option to display the full date, year included when the event is clicked on? ANother SEO issue
3. For 2017 reoccurring events in my google console it shows as if there is ‘NO SEO TITLE’
4.Multiple soft 404, pages not found. Only for the events.
5. Is there a way to set the default of the event page to view as a list?

With a paid plugin there should be a way to contact support other then this forum. I like the plugin but this system of support, or lack there of is not great.

Hi Shirly,

Thanks for going Pro and welcome to the forums! I’m sorry you are experiencing some issues, let me help you with your questions.

When developing our plugins we tend to respect good SEO practices, but we are not adding anything crazy or too advanced.

To be able to support you to the fullest, could you please share your system information with me in a private reply?
Here’s a handy guide how you can do that:

As for your questions:

1. In reoccurring events it shows as if there are duplicate title tags and meta descriptions.

I believe we just had this flagged to us. I was trying to locate the internal ticket, but didn’t succeed yet. Could you share a link to the page where this is happening?

 

2. Is there an option to display the full date, year included when the event is clicked on?

Absolutely. Go to Events > Settings > Display tab > Date Format Settings section > Date without year field. Edit this to your liking. It can be the same as the Date with year just above it, if that’s your preference.

 

3. For 2017 reoccurring events in my google console it shows as if there is ‘NO SEO TITLE’

Can you confirm you don’t get this for the recurring events in the current year? Could you please share a link where you are experiencing this?

 

4.Multiple soft 404, pages not found. Only for the events.

For this, please read the first 2 articles on the following page. Let me know if that helps.

5. Is there a way to set the default of the event page to view as a list?

Can a dog bark? 🙂 Of course. Go to Events > Settings > Display tab > Basic Template Settings section > Default view dropdown. Set it to List, save at the bottom of the page and you are done.

 

With a paid plugin there should be a way to contact support other then this forum. I like the plugin but this system of support, or lack there of is not great.

I’m sorry you feel disappointed in our support. The support forums can help not only the person who opened the ticket, but others as well, who are having the same or similar problem. Also, we are proud of our Knowledgebase, which has plenty of good writings and handy tips in it and is being extended or a regular basis.

And though our forum guidelines says “it may be 24-48 hours (during the week) before we respond to a post” – we are working hard to keep that below 24 hours.

 

I’ll be waiting for your answers on the above and we’ll take it from there.

Cheers,
Andras

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
