Will sitemap generated in Yoast for a combined wordpress/magento site map entire site ?
-
Hi
For an ecommerce site thats been developed via a combination of wordpress and magento and has yoast installed, will the sitemap (& other yoast features) map (& apply to) the entire site or just wordpress aspects ?
In other words does one need to do anything else to have a full sitemap for a combined magento/wordpress site or will Yoast cover it all ? This link seems to suggest should be fine but seeing if anyone else encountered this and had problems or if straightforward ?

I don't believe Yoast's Wordpress SEO plugin will cover Magento files. The Wordpress SEO plugin is built into the Wordpress, and pulls the page, post, category, taxonomy, etc. data from Wordpress in order to build the sitemap. The plugin itself creates a sitemap for each page, post type, etc., and is highly configurable. It then uses a sitemap index file to connect everything together.
But since the Wordpress doesn't have the Magento information, since they are separate CMS's with separate databases, the Yoast Wordpress SEO plugin won't build a sitemap file for information in the other CMS, as it has no access to it and no knowledge of it.
You can use other tools to create sitemaps for the site, either through manual crawls or installed software on your server, but the yoast wordpress plugin won't do it.

I don't know about yoast, but if wordpress and magento have their own site maps, they both can be added to sitemaps under webmaster tools.
You can also check the sitemap that yoast makes, to see if it has both wordpress and magento links in the xml file (pick 2 random urls and seach).
I would just make sure that the xml is being updated when you add new pages to your site.

Duplicate pages with "/" and without "/"
I seem to have duplicate pages like the examples below: https://example.com https://example.com/ This is happening on 3 pages and I'm not sure why or how to fix it. The first (https://example.com) is what I want and is what I have all my canonicals set too, but that doesn't seem to be doing anything. I've also setup 301 redirects for each page with "/" to be redirected to the page without it. Doing this didn't seem to fix anything as when I use the (https://example.com/) URL it doesn't redirect to (https://example.com) like it's supposed to. This issue has been going on for some time, so any help would be much appreciated. I'm using Squarespace as the design/hosting site.

When to use mod rewrite / canonical / 301 redirect
Hello, I have taken over the management of a site which has a big problem with duplicate content. The duplicate content is caused by two things: Upper and lower case urls e.g: www.mysite.com/blog and www.mysite.com/Blog The other reason is the use of product filters / pagination which mean you can get to the same 'page' via different filters. The filters generate separate URLs. http://www.mysite.com/casestudy

http://www.mysite.com/casestudy/filter?solution=0&page=1
http://www.mysite.com/casestudy?page=1
http://www.cpio.co.uk/casestudy/filter?solution=0" Am I right to assume that for the case sensitive URLs I should use a 301 redirect because I only want the lower page to be shown? For the issue with dynamic URLs should we implement a mod-rewrite and 301 to one page? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

CMS Auto Generated Sitemap Work Around?
Hey Moz Community, The Shopify ecommerce platform auto generates xml sitemaps and robots.txt for you. Frustratingly there is no way to augment either of these. If I noindex on a page it will still show up in the site map... Causing inconstancy with the sitemap submitted to GWT. In theory if put the MY version of the sitemap on site and point GWT to MY version.. Would this solve the inconstancy ? Or would Googlebot go in and still crawl the default /sitemap.xml anyway? Any suggestions and insight is greatly appreciated!

Can You Use More Then One Google Local Rich Snippet on a single site/ on a single page.
I am currently working on a website for a business that has multiple office locations. As I am trying to target all four locations I was wondering if it is okay to have more then one Local Rich Snippet on a single page. (For example they list all four locations and addresses within their footer and I was wondering if I could make these local rich snippets). What about having more then one on a single website. For example if a company has multiple offices located in several different cities and have set up individual contact pages for these cities, can each page have it's own Local Rich Snippet? Will Google look at these multiple "local rich snippets" as spaming or will they recognize the multiple locations and count it towards their local seo?

What to include on a sitemap for a huge site?
I have a very large site and I'm not sure what all to include on the sitemap page. We have categories such as items1, items2 and in the items1 category are 100 vendors with their individual vendor pages. Should I link all 100 vendor pages on the sitemap or just the main items1 category?
