    Thank you for checking, I did find a ‘GeoTag’ app for the mac that can edit the location EXIF data. For the time being, it’s a bit much to go thru to get a 0.02% boost in SEO value… =) , just always looking for what will help.
    Again, thank you for your expertise.
    Happy Friday!
    cheers,
    Troy

    thanx @steven… – I’m not sure if it’s ‘official’ EXIF data, I open the photo in photos on my mac and then in the ‘location’ field I can enter a zip code and it fills in the town. I then export with the location data included and upload to the site. I’m using these on my ‘location’ pages for our cleaning company and have read that photos with location ‘data’ in them helps with SEO… albeit very slightly…. but I’m OCD and looking for any and all help we can get to rank better. (we do well to begin with – or at least ok =))
    Here’s a page that has a photo that I ’embedded’ the location in, thru photos.

    appreciate your time and expertise, btw, I’m using Elementor within WordPress if that triggers any thoughts about this topic.
    cheers….

    @northernbeacheswebsites thank you for your response.
    So as murphy’s law would have it.
    I ‘refreshed’ the code today and it is now working. – go figure.
    Here’s the code in any event.
    [gmb-review location="accounts/113034189309705361222/locations/4239174736628820698" type="slider" minimum-stars="4" sort-by="date" sort-order="desc" review-amount="50" slides-page="1" slides-scroll="1" autoplay="true" speed="4999" transition="slide" read-more="false" show-stars="true" show-date="true" show-quotes="true"]

    cheers.

    WP GMP not rotating thru REVIEWS, sorry about that! no matter what I set the settings for the plugin to, it does not rotate thru more than 2 reviews.
    Thank you

    Hi Steve, I’m getting hatom errors of Missing: author,Missing: entry-title and Missing: updated. are these a problem at all? you seem to think not. I’d be glad if they are not a problem. But I want to make sure I’m showing up well in SEO. I don’t even know what micro formats are for, or if I even have any! =). I appreciate your time, thank you. Troy

    are these both single site WordPress installs or is the second one a multisite install?
    – single site

    What version of WordPress are you using on both sites?
    – Both 4.5.2

    appreciate your help

    I’m trying to do the same thing.
    Change the grey ratings stars to a different color.
    I don’t have the same file path and have searched for the filename ‘star.png’
    I found one here
    public_html/naturals/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/assets/images
    is that the image I should edit?
    There are 3 stars, in a vertical row….

    any thoughts??
    thank you in advance-

    genusone – thank you in advance for your help, I just need a little kick start and I’ll be on my way (ha!)
    I can find no “wrapper” in either the header.php or the .css files.
    Likewise I also checked for the text, <div in both files and none were found.

    I am working with a child of twenty eleven.
    I copied all files from the parent except for the function.php file and then changed the .css ‘header’ info to work as a child.
    I want to have the original code to be able to edit and not just ‘add’ the child code to override the parent.
    Am I off to a bad start?
    I’d like to have as much code as I can in my child files if possible.

    Thank you genusone for your help, I won’t get to trying it for a couple of days but wanted to say thank you.

    To WPyogi – well…. hold the laughter… I’m new to wordpress and also SEOing… one of our competitors sites always shows up well in searches so I started looking at their code. At the top of their page in the inch or two ‘border’ above the ‘header logo’ is a color background with text in it that is ALMOST the same color but not quite according to hex. The text in the ‘border’ is all keyword stuff.
    I am totally guessing that because the background is a different color than the text, the search engines accept it as valid and ‘log’ the keywords.
    (I’ve heard that if you have the exact same color background as the text then the robots ‘throw out the keywords’ and it doesn’t ‘count’ for SEO purposes.
    – I thought well if it’s working for them I should try it and see if my SERP changes.
    I do know that I could be totally wasting my time, BUT, just by going thru the process I am learning a lot of ancillary information and that’s what it’s all about.
    — opinion on the topic?

    not really the line around the page,
    but specifically the ‘border’ area above the ‘header’ logo and tagline.
    I do filemaker development and I’m just starting at this wordpress thing..
    could you give me an example of what some of that (position:absolute) and some custom code would look like and where it would go?
    I’d like to put a couple lines of text and be able to color the background and the text as well… some ‘grey’ SEO if you will…. FYI

    I appreciate your help,
    Troy-

    I copied the twenty eleven style.css to my child folder, changed the ‘header’ information and then altered the code.

    solved
