Helpdesk is open from Monday through Friday CET
hi.
i like your tool very much.
I'm looking forward to supporting more 3d party components like the stackideas components or jReviews as example.
right now i'm wondering about the site analysis feature. i have installed 4SEO on two live websites over a week. the process as it looks does never finish - should that be so?

the 23 pending pages are never get finished as it looks like to me, or am I misunderstanding something here?
Hi
the process as it looks does never finish - should that be so?
No, it should finish and then keep going in the background, looking for search.
That said, it all depends on the specific of your site and maybe its internal linking for instance. Some pages may need to be excluded from crawling manually sometimes.
1 - What are the sites real and full URL (please always provide that)
2 - How long did you wait?
There might be some errors happening during the crawl. A first thing to do would be to install our 4LOGS plugin (get it from the JED) directly. This small plugin will let you view and manage all log files on your Joomla sites, including those from 4SEO.
Looking at any "error" log files can provide insight into what's happening. If that does not help, there are other checks we can do later on.

over a week right now.
i have attached the latest two error log files from " /forseo/errors". I'm not a expert here, maybe you find some information about what is happening.
Hi
Nothing was attached, which is expected as these are PHP files. I'd suggest providing superadmin credentials instead so that I can look directly into it.

yes as it looks the filetype ".php" is not supported to upload.

Hi
The .htaccess creds do not seem to work!

i readded the htaccess login data, please try again.
Hi
Looking into this now, I'll get back to you when I have more information. There are a number of errors recorded, from 4SEO and mostly from JReviews. I need to investigate what's causing what.

Hi Again
Actually I am restarting the analysis from scratch using the latest dev version. Can you hold on doing anything with 4SEO?

I understand, i have deactivated the cronjob to 4SEO too.
Hi again,
OK, from what I see this is coming from your events page. It has a calendar and links that always go to the "next day" and "previous" days and so it's kinda of an infinite crawl: 4SEO loads the events page, which is set to today, it finds a link to tomorrow, analyzes that and finds a link to the next day and so on.
And so the analysis can never end because there will always be a tomorrow!
This is a problem for 4SEO but more importantly it's a problem for Google. They probably already stopped crawling your site due to that or if they spend crawl budget on this, they are not crawling other pages of the site.
Most calendar extensions exclude calendar pages from search engines crawling by adding them to robots.txt or adding a nofollow attribute to all calendar links.
If you do that, then 4SEO will automatically pick these up and stop trying to crawl your calendar.
Note that this is something that should also be discussed with StackIdeas, they should not be doing that but instead properly exclude calendar links.
For a current workaround, I suggest excluding 4SEO from crawling pages with an address that include a date (under Pages | Settings | Site analysis):
I have just done that and restarted an analysis, which I'll let run until it finishes.
Best regards

OK i understand, thank you meanwhile for the workaround!
I will consult with stackideas about there calendar implantation.
Hi
Looks like this was the problem, the analysis completed in a half-hour of so with those pages excluded.

Yes, on your site, the actual events will/should be accessible to search engines from the "Events" page (https://[redacted].world/events).
This page does not have infinite links itself, except for the calendar module. That's why links on the calendar should be nofollow-ed so that search engines don't give up on you. Likewise for the Next/previous links displayed at the top of the page when on /events/date.
I'll look into excluding these automatically when using Jomsocial (or excluding JomSocial entirely, this is not really search engines content actually) but this might be a bit difficult to do as URLs are not the same from one site to another.

Perfect, thank you for your support!
