Compatibility with Polylang Plugin

Polylang Plugin

Polylang is a WordPress plugin that enables users to create a bilingual or multilingual WordPress site. (users can write posts, pages, create categories and post tags as they would normally, and then define the language for each of them).

Squirrly SEO is compatible with Polylang WordPress Plugin for different language versions. Squirrly retrieves information from the Polylang plugin related to the language that has been defined for posts and pages, as well as which posts and pages have been translated in that language.

What do you have to gain if you use the Polylang plugin alongside Squirrly SEO:

SEO Meta fields for language. Use Squirrly SEO together with Polylang for multilingual sites and your SEO will be perfect for all languages.

View posts based on the language you’ve defined for them. If you have the Polylang plugin installed on your WordPress, Bulk SEO will know how to categorize posts/pages on your site based on the language you’ve defined for them. For example, if you have posts written in English and posts written in Spanish, you can choose to view only posts in English or only posts in Spanish in the Bulk SEO settings.

Sitemap XML – Polylang Integration

If you go to Squirrly SEO > SEO Configuration > Tweaks & Sitemaps > Sitemap XML, you will see that you have the option to activate Combine Languages in Sitemap.

(!this option will only show if you have the Polylang plugin installed on your website)

When this option is turned ON, all languages will be added in the same sitemap.xml file.

By default, different languages will be added to separate sitemap.xml files.

For instance, all posts in English will be added to one dedicated sitemap.xml file and all posts in Spanish will be added to another, separate sitemap.xml file. (as shown in the examples below)

Bulk SEO – Polylang Integration

In Bulk SEO, for pages/posts that have NOT been translated in the language in which you want to optimize your Snippets, you’ll see the following message: No Polylang translation for this post.

This message notifies you of the fact that while you can optimize the Snippet, the snippet doesn’t belong to a certain translation. Go to Edit Post, and make sure that the language you’ve defined for that post is the same as the language you’ve selected for your Bulk SEO.

How to Inspect an URL with Google Search Console

To access the Google Search Console for your website, go to https://search.google.com/search-console and select the website you want to check. If your website is not yet added on GSC, follow this tutorial to add a property on Google Search Console

Once you get to your page on Google Search Console, add the URL or a Focus Page URL from Squirrly SEO that you want to inspect/verify and click Enter.

Once you get the URL status on Google Search Console, click to test the page by clicking on “Test Live URL” button.

If you get the message “URL is not on Google” it means that the URL was not yet indexed on Google and you need to ask Google to index it or wait until the Google crawlers get to your website.

Once you test the page with Google Live Test, you will see if the page is available, is mobile friendly, it has rich snippets, etc.

If the page is available for Google, the page will be indexed in Google next time the Google crawler will check your URL, click on “Request indexing” is available to force a crawler check in the next minutes.

If everything works okay. The page will appear on Google in the next minutes.

Note! If the snippet is changed on your page after the page is indexed, you need to request a new index. Google will not send the crawlers again on the same day so you will probably see the new snippet in the next days.
