Hey Jose, thanks once again for your answer. I cleared and pre-loaded the cache with WP-rocket, then went on incognito chrome, to the above mentioned page.
I inspected the page and searched for terms like “specific” and “mobile”. I cannot find anything related to this when viewing page source, or inspecting elements. Maybe this is solved because i pre-loaded the cache? Do you still see your plugin info on the desktop variant?
Hello Jose,
1. I made sure WP rocket is catching mobile devices separately, this is the case. No issue found from my side here.
2. I also made sure that on backend i havent checked the Yoast no-index checkbox.
From what i saw setting a page to private (which your plugin forces to do so), wordpress will automatically put a no-index tag on such page. I understand why it does this, but the problem arrises when google suddenly picks up private pages (which i still dont know why or how as they are nowhere to be found in a sitemap).

My possible solution
I know i keep mentioning the canonical and alternate tags, but i do think this is the way to counter above issue. What i did:
1. I disabled your plugin, and made all private pages public.
2. I then added a canonical URL reference on the mobile version of the page, pointing to the desktop page. Google knows which URL is prefered to show on google search, and this will solve content/SEO duplication issues.
3. I also added a alternate URL reference on the desktop version of the page, pointing to the mobile version. Google can now make an easy distinction between desktop, mobile, and serves the pages according to user screensize.
Page example:
Alternate tag pointing to mobile:
<link rel=”alternate” media=”only screen and (max-width: 640px)” href=”https://shroomstocks.nl/hoe-koop-ik-psychedelica-aandelen-mobiel/”>
Page example:
Canonical tag pointing to desktop:
<link rel=”canonical” href=”https://shroomstocks.nl/hoe-koop-ik-psychedelica-aandelen/”>

I checked all pages on google search console. No issues found.
Hello Jose, thanks for your extensive answer. I downloaded an earlier version first to see if it solves the problem. It doesnt. Google search console still shows the not able to index errors.
I went ahead and inspected both desktop and mobile page sources. The mobile page source shows a noindex whenever its set to status private.
The problem here is that adding a canonical URL pointing to the desktop variant is not possible whenever that page is set to private. Because google does not spot a canonical page on the mobile variant, it does not know which page to index. It tries to index the mobile page, despite it being set to private, and spots the robot noindex tag.
I checked the sitemap, and made sure no mobile URL’s were to be found in here.

I have one question for you. If we publish a mobile private page you say this is bad for SEO because google will see this as a duplicate. But a canonical URL is used to avoid duplication issues. Why cant we just use a canonical URL, instead of a private page to solve any SEO issues?

In reply to: [Schema & Structured Data for WP & AMP] ItemReviewed issueBelow code is whats showing in the HTML after enabling the rating box.
“itemReviewed”:{“@type”:”Organization”,”name”:”Admiral Markets ervaringen | Review door een forex daytrader”}
1.What triggers the type to automatically be organization?
In my case this needs to be a “service” type.2.Why does it automatically fetch the page title under “name”?
In my case this needs to be the name of the service, not the page title.Your plugin has some good options, but without being able to modify the above i will not be able to use the rating box. I dont understand why noone else seem to have noticed this problem.
Edit: after disabling Yoast compatibility it now uses the text input from “Review Title”. In your plugin “headline”, “(review) name”, and “(itemReviewed) name” are all set to either Yoast meta title, or the manual user input within rating box field “Review Title”.
There should be a second and third textfield for the user to define both “(itemReviewed) name” and “(itemReviewed) type”.. What do you think?
I just checked if the review box is now shown on private pages. This is the case, seems to be working. If i find an issue on these private pages these days i will post it in here. Thank you! Will also make sure to rate this plugin..
Great news. Will use this new update when ready.
I managed to enforce a private page to public page, by temporary disabling the dynamic serving plugin. I however dont know if this might cause any conflicts on the page later on, as its not recommended by them to enforce any page public.
This issue seems to be only temporary. I tried to save the settings just now, and for some reason it now seems to work. Marking this topic as solved.

In reply to: [wpForo Forum] WPforo forum menu not activatingThis has to be the quickest answer and fix ever. Thank you gVector, it worked. Does this means i already fixed my described issue in the past, but i wasnt able to see it because of WProcket “messing up” the catch?
Hey Jose, i have been trying to find the cause of that error last days. I indeed dont think its related to your plugin. It might have been caused by a .htaccess file that got corrupted by an unknown cause. I removed and created this file again, so far no problems. But i have to keep checking
Jose I do occasionally get a internal server error 500, stating:
19.10.2020 20:16:50 forexdaytrader.nl [client xx.xx.xxx.x] FastCGI: “/home/strato/http/fastcgi/rid/50/28/510455028/htdocs/WordPress_SecureMode_03/index.php” aborted: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server after 8 sec
This could mean anything, but it just so happens they only show up on mobile versions of a page. https://forexdaytrader.nl/robotten/ is the example here again. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt.
Perhaps its not related to your plugin but just throwing it in here anyway. Maybe you have a clue if something within the new version update could cause this.

Goodmorning Jose!
I updated the version to 0.1.5. So far so good! I opened a previous problematic page a couple of times with WP Bakery, no issues found.
I will update you asap if any issues arise.
Jose, I noticed that unfortunately on page front-end editing with WP bakery pagebuilder the new update is giving some issues; on occasions i am not able to load the mobile page with WP bakery. At these times i am only able to edit pages back-end. This is not related to the problem in this topic, so i will create a new one and mark this one as resolved.
Thanks Jose. I will update the plugin and use this feature on my pages. Will also rate and review this plugin after this has been done. Great work!

In reply to: [YASR - Yet Another Star Rating Plugin for WordPress] YASR ajax call failedDudo, thanks for your reply. I just tested your suggestion on putting the “is this a review” status to no for both mobile and desktop.
After i did this Google rich snippet tool is now picking up both review fragments, the overall rating, as well as the user voting. The message on the ajax call failing is still there as well.
Considering i now have two rating elements. Do you know if google will prioritize one over the other? will it give any conflicts to have 2 differents review rating elements on the same page?
Also, this page is an actual review of something, yet the status “is this a review” is now set to no. Does this have any hidden consequences behind the scenes so to speak?
