  • WordPress comment paging creates duplicate content

    I learned something today about WordPress that I would like to share. The “break comments into pages” feature can create duplicate content for all posts that have only a single page of comments. I made this graphic to explain exactly what happens.

  • Landing page triggers WP plugin free version

    This plugin redirects users of your WordPress website to any page you like after they publish a new post or log out. You can provide any URL, so the page can even be on a different website altogether.

    Landing pages can help coordinate, congratulate or incentivize users who are already interacting with your website.

    I have also written a non-free version that includes redirects after leaving a comment and user login in addition to the free features.

    Installation Instructions

    1. Download landing-page-triggers-free.zip
    2. Decompress the file contents
    3. Upload the landing-page-triggers-free folder to a WordPress plugins directory (/wp-content/plugins)
    4. Activate the plugin from the Administration Dashboard
    5. Visit “Landing pages” under Settings to configure the triggers

    I have been using this functionality to thank contributors for their posts, and it works wonderfully. If you are interested in the enhanced feature set, that version is available here for 6$ USD.
