WordPress - No indexing

[Feechen]

I have a problem to index my WordPress site. Zoom always says:

"No files found to spider from"

I added the suffix .php to the scan options. Could you please have a look on the page? You can find it here:

http://schwarz.wegbegleiter.de/

Thanks,

I think is because none of the URLs on your site have file names.
So they are like this,

http://schwarz.wegbegleiter.de/aufsatze/

instead of like this,

http://schwarz.wegbegleiter.de/aufsatze/page.html

and it isn't possible to know, for example, if the page is a HTML file or a PDF file by looking at the URL.

To deal with this you need to check the box "Scan files with no extensions" in the "Scan Options" configuration window.

I have already checked the box "Scan files with no extensions" in the "Scan Options" configuration window. It is a static page and the permalinks are configured to display the article names. Unfortunately, it does not work.

I see the problem.

You have this code on your home page,
<meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />

Which will stop all indexing.

Thank you very very much! I am new to WordPress and with your information I found what I had to change. Everything is working fine now!

Integrating with wordpress works fine but documentation is poor so it was a lot of trial and error work for me to get it to work. Once integrated Zoom is great with wordpress.

To index posts which are in the "slug" format, e.g http://yoursite.com/this-is-my-post/ there is a nice trick. Create a page template and call it something like "List all posts". In the following example all your post titles and their permalinks will be printed on an empty white webpage. So first, create the page template:

<?php
/*
Template Name: List all posts
*/
?>

<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'posts_per_page' => 100, 'paged' => $paged );
$wp_query = new WP_Query($args);
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
     <?php echo "<h1><a href='"; the_permalink(); echo "'>"; the_title(); echo "</a></h1>"; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

<!-- then the pagination links -->
<?php next_posts_link( '&larr; Older posts' ); ?>
<?php previous_posts_link( 'Newer posts &rarr;' ); ?>

You can set the posts_per_page to whatever you want and pagination is not necessary.

Now create a normal wordpress page and call it for example http://yoursite.com/all-my-posts/. In the "Page attribute" box select the page template "List all posts", which you created in the first step. View your page to see that your posts get listed alright.

Finally open Zoom indexer and type in http://yoursite.com/all-my-posts/ in the "start spider from url" field. Click "More" and make sure it says http://yoursite.com/all-my-posts/ [follow all] in the text field.

Start indexing.

Use Zoomstop tag in your templates to avoid getting search hits for pages displaying stuff other than post content and to avoid double hits etc.

Also a couple of questions, I have run the trial version for a long time while building a site and I would like to buy the professional version.
How long approximately will it be until version 7 is released? If I purchase in the near future would that cover a free upgrade? How well protected is zoom against sql injection? Will stemming be supported for other languages than English in php version?

We hope to release V7 in the first half of this year. But there's no concrete date. If you purchase Zoom V6 within six months (we may extend this) of the V7 release, it will be a free upgrade. Otherwise, it will be a half price discount of the retail price.

Zoom would be completely SQL injection proof, because it doesn't use SQL.

And no, there's no plans to add stemming for other languages in PHP at this point. You can consider switching over to CGI if you need other stemming algorithms.
