I have rebuilt my WordPress site using the Enfold theme (moved from the Brightbox theme for PHP7 compatability) and I love it.
However, I’m noticing that many of my images aren’t being indexed by Yoast, and therefore aren’t showing up in a google image search, or are showing up in weird searches.For example, I have one portfolio entry called Pektron Research Facility. If I search for ‘pektron research facility’ then it doesn’t show up in google images. Well, it does, but not from my website.
If I type ‘pektron derby cgi’, I get many images from my site (five in the top nine) but none of them of the Pektron building.
As I’m a CGI artist, this is pretty bad. Looking through the threads here I came across this one:
Is this still applicable? And if so, do I add it (well, both of the code changes) to the default functions.php file?
Cheers!
Hey kopperdrake,
Yes, you can use this code and yes, you need to add it to the child theme functions.php.
If you need further assistance please let us know.
Best regards,
VictoriaHi Victoria,
Thanks for getting back to me :)
In my haste to build the new site, I didn’t activate a child theme. I’m pretty sure I haven’t tinkered with any of the theme files – is there any way to check if I have?
Assuming I haven’t (or even have) – what’s the best way to add a child theme to an already existing site?
Cheers :)
Actually – I’ve just found the Enfold-child.zip file and uploaded it, but it’s asking to copy the files from an older version of Enfold that I no longer have installed. I’m on 4.4.1
Is there a child theme available for the version I have?
Hi,
The child theme is just an empty template, so it’s the same for all versions :-)
Best regards,
RikardThanks Rikard,
But if I download that zip file containing enfold-child theme and upload it to my website, when looking at the themes in Appearance>Themes, it states:“Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete.Name Description
Enfold Child The parent theme is missing. Please install the “enfold” parent theme. Delete”Do I need to add something else to the child theme in order for it to be recognised?
Hi,
Is the parent theme named Enfold in the style.css file? If not then please try to change it, you could try to change the folder name as well to see if that makes a difference. If not then please post FTP and WordPress login details in private so that we can have a closer look.
Best regards,
RikardHi,
I’ve sorted that out – thanks. It was the fact that I rename my theme installations to know which version I have uploaded. Renaming the Enfold directory from Enfold44 to Enfold allowed the child theme to lock on to it :)However, I still seem to have the problem of google not indexing my images in portfolio pages.
I have added the two pieces of code from this link https://kriesi.at/support/topic/how-to-make-images-in-masonry-gallery-to-be-indexed-in-seo-yoast-sitemap/#post-832007
to the Enfold child theme’s functions.phpTo test it, I ran an Indexing request using my Google Search Console on a portfolio page – http://albino-igil.com/blog/portfolio-item/kitchen-addition/
With images having the title ‘extension’ in the file name, searching for images on google for “albino igil extension” brings up plenty of old images, but none of the new ones. I really need the new images from the website to be indexed by google – the old Brightbox theme seemed to do this flawlessly – any idea why my Enfold install isn’t?
I use Yoast SEO – but have never paid for the Premium version as I have never needed to.Hi,
You need to clear the google cache also.
That is something we cant help – you do need to hire someone who knows the a thing or two around google and seo.Best regards,
