Hello,

I have noticed a competitors website is ranking better than ours for keywords due to the fact they are using specific tags on their blog posts along with their categories. We have created about 20 landing pages so far with similar keywords. We are ranking pretty good for the specific phrase/title, but the broader search terms are coming up short. We would like to tag these pages with additional keywords like you can when using posts. Is there a way to enable the option for tags in the X Theme for pages or a custom code that we can add? Maybe a plugin?

Thanks for the support and help!

Hi Nick,

There is no way to do so with X theme, even no theme provides Page Tag widget. But fortunately we’ve a plugin for this task: https://wordpress.org/plugins/page-tag-cloud/

This plugin will add a tag meta box into page editing area & it’ll also add a Page Tag cloud widget in Widget are. You can put the widget into a sidebar & this widget will only show when a page is loaded with page tag. So, it fills 100% requirement of you to compete with the competitor site you given.

Hope this helps, Cheers!

Hi Nick,

If you use a Revolution Slider short code inside a post, it will produce a Javascript output. This gets saved to the excerpt. It’s best to only use that short code in pages.

Hope that helps. Have a nice day!

The slider is used on a page. However, I am using tags on pages via a plugin. Is there a work around?

Hi Nick,

Yes, it’s possible if you define excerpt for that page. Please go to Page editing mode & show Page excerpt metabox for page from screen options at Top as seen on the screenshot below:

The define excerpt for that page:

Hope this helps, Cheers!

Thanks for the reply and info. However, I am unable to locate the page editing mode. Is this on each page or is there a central setting where it is located?

Thanks again.

Hey Nick,

The Page Editor is where you write or create your content and set the given settings on your page or post. To enable the page excerpt, please click Screen Options located in the upper right corner of the page editor (see http://prntscr.com/46r88o) and check Excerpt.

Hope that helps. 🙂

Ok. I have figured it out. I placed the excerpt text in the box and it worked. However, the Read More button disappears from the tag page. I read on WordPress to place the following code into the function.php file

function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
 global $post;
 return $output . '<a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '"> Read More...</a>';
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');

This works. However on the blog, the read more button appears twice now. Any suggestions?

Hi Nick,

Can you try this instead

function excerpt_read_more_link($output) {
if ( !is_home() ) {
 global $post;
 return $output . '<a href="'. get_permalink($post->ID) . '"> Read More...</a>';
}
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');

let me know how it works.

Cheers

That did the trick! Thanks a lot. If I update the theme in the future will that code be erased from the function.php page?

[Kosher K]

Hi Nick,

If you added it on x/functions.php then it will be overwritten on update,

That’s why we recommend to use a child theme for php customization.

You can read this article -> http://theme.co/x/member/kb/how-to-setup-child-themes/ to help you set-up a child theme.

Cheers
