Hello,
I am a long time Zoom Professional user, and for the first time I ran into an issue I couldn't figure out myself, even after consulting FAQ / Forum:
We run a Wordpress / WPML site that has some content in a second language, German. Wordpress WPML Plugin setting is:
"Language name added as a parameter (https://docklight.de?lang=de - German)"
What we want is one common search index - search always in English and German, like a standard Google search. But the German pages never show up in the index.
I even tried adding all the German URLs as extra spider "start points", both in the WPML canonical format,
with "added parameter":
https://docklight.de/kundenmeinungen/?lang=de
But I also tried variations:
https://docklight.de/kundenmeinungen
or
https://docklight.de/kundenmeinungen/
Here is what the last variant results in the log file:
-> Spider finds the German parts already without the extra starting point, but says "blocked by extensions":
11:59:59 - Zoom Search Engine Indexer (Professional Edition)
11:59:59 - Version 7.1 (Build: 1022) on Windows 10
12:00:08 - [SPIDER] Spidering for links on https://docklight.de/
...
12:00:08 - [SKIPPED] Skipping https://docklight.de/?lang=de (Blocked by extensions list)
...
12:00:08 - [SKIPPED] Skipping https://docklight.de/kundenmeinungen/?lang=de (Blocked by extensions list)
-> here's Zoom finding my extra starting point. Gets redirected properly to the above format, no duplicates, great.
But again - no indexing:
12:00:51 - [SPIDER] Moving on to next start point: https://docklight.de/kundenmeinungen/
12:00:51 - [SPIDER] Queued URL: https://docklight.de/kundenmeinungen/
12:00:51 - DL Thread #8, got URL (https://docklight.de/kundenmeinungen/) off queue
12:00:51 - [DOWNLOAD] Downloading file https://docklight.de/kundenmeinungen/
12:00:52 - [DOWNLOAD] URL redirected to: https://docklight.de/kundenmeinungen/?lang=de [thread #8]
I even activated "Scan files with no extensions" - no change.
I am out of clue how I can add "added parameter" pages to the index.
Is there a solution/parameter I did not consider?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Best regards,
Oliver
