Unsolved Question about a Screaming Frog crawling issue
-
Hello,
I have a very peculiar question about an issue I'm having when working on a website. It's a WordPress site and I'm using a generic plug in for title and meta updates. When I go to crawl the site through screaming frog, however, there seems to be a hard coded title tag that I can't find anywhere and the plug in updates don't get crawled.
If anyone has any suggestions, thatd be great. Thanks!

@KyleSennikoff Hi there! It sounds like you're encountering a common challenge. Check your WordPress theme files, especially header.php, for any hardcoded title tags. Additionally, ensure that the plugin-generated title and meta updates are reflected in the betflixs HTML source code. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to the plugin's support for assistance. Good luck.

@Kateparish Thank you for giving your solution information. I am now using the rank math plugin for my WordPress website.

there are a few possible explanations and solutions you can try:
Theme settings: Some WordPress themes have built-in options to set a default title tag or meta description for your website. Check your theme settings to see if there's a section where you can modify the title tag. Look for options like "SEO" or "Header" settings within the theme's customization options.
Child theme modifications: If you're using a child theme, it's possible that the hard-coded title tag is coming from a modification made within the child theme's files. Review the code of your child theme, particularly the header.php file, to see if there's any direct reference to the title tag.
SEO plugin conflicts: It's possible that there is a conflict between the generic plugin you're using for title and meta updates and another SEO-related plugin installed on your WordPress site. Try deactivating other SEO plugins temporarily to see if the issue persists. If the problem is resolved, you may need to choose one plugin for managing your SEO metadata.
Caching plugins or server caching: If you're using any caching plugins or server-level caching, it's possible that the changes made by the plugin are not immediately reflected due to caching. Clear the cache within the caching plugin or purge the server cache to ensure that the latest changes are being served.
Plugin compatibility: Check if the generic plugin you're using for title and meta updates is compatible with your current version of WordPress. If the plugin hasn't been updated in a while, it may not work correctly with the latest WordPress version. In that case, consider finding an alternative plugin or contacting the plugin developer for support.
Manual inspection: If you've exhausted the above steps and the issue still persists, you may need to manually inspect your website's code. Use the browser's developer tools to inspect the source code and search for the specific hard-coded title tag. This will help identify where it's coming from and allow you to make the necessary modifications directly in the code.
Remember to take a backup of your WordPress site and its database before making any changes to your theme files or modifying the code.

Solved How to solve orphan pages on a job board
Working on a website that has a job board, and over 4000 active job ads. All of these ads are listed on a single "job board" page, and don’t obviously all load at the same time. They are not linked to from anywhere else, so all tools are listing all of these job ad pages as orphans. How much of a red flag are these orphan pages? Do sites like Indeed have this same issue? Their job ads are completely dynamic, how are these pages then indexed? We use Google’s Search API to handle any expired jobs, so they are not the issue. It’s the active, but orphaned pages we are looking to solve. The site is hosted on WordPress. What is the best way to solve this issue? Just create a job category page and link to each individual job ad from there? Any simpler and perhaps more obvious solutions? What does the website structure need to be like for the problem to be solved? Would appreciate any advice you can share!

Duplicate Content Issues with Pagination
Hi Moz Community, We're an eCommerce site so we have a lot of pagination issues but we were able to fix them using the rel=next and rel=prev tags. However, our pages have an option to view 60 items or 180 items at a time. This is now causing duplicate content problems when for example page 2 of the 180 item view is the same as page 4 of the 60 item view. (URL examples below) Wondering if we should just add a canonical tag going to the the main view all page to every page in the paginated series to get ride of this issue. https://www.example.com/gifts/for-the-couple?view=all&n=180&p=2 https://www.example.com/gifts/for-the-couple?view=all&n=60&p=4 Thoughts, ideas or suggestions are welcome. Thanks

Sitelinks Issue - Different Languages
Hey folks, We run different ccTLD's for revolveclothing.com (revolveclothing.es, revolveclothing.com.br, etc. etc.) and they all have their own WMT/Google Console with their own href lang tags etc. The problem is this. https://www.google.fr/#q=revolve+clothing When you look at the sitelinks, you'll see that one of them (sales page) happens to be in Portuguese on the French site. Can anyone investigate and see why?
