This filter can be used to skip logging redirect logging in AIOSEO Redirects.

Arguments (1)

1. $skip (boolean) – Skip logging.
2. $data (array) – The redirect data.

Example code snippet

add_filter( 'aioseo_redirects_log_skip', 'redirects_log_skip', 10, 2 );

		$skip = true;
	}

	return $skip;
}

What are Query Strings

Query strings, aka query args, are the part of a web URL that comes after the base URL and are identified with a ?.

For example, a common query string you’ll see in WordPress is /?s=search_term which is used whenever a visitor uses the search feature on your site.

In the example above, the ?s is a key and the search_term is the value (?key=value).

Query strings are used in many different ways on websites. They enable information to be passed as part of the URL.

You can read more about query strings on Wikipedia here.

Why is Query Arg Monitoring Useful

The Query Arg Monitoring feature in All in One SEO will help you by showing you which query strings are being used on your site so that you can decide whether to block them or not.

Some query args will be used because of features in added by plugins or your theme so you may not want to block them. But there may be some that are being used by bad actors that you would want to block. This can help to ensure that they don’t show up in search results, potentially poisoning your results.

Using the Query Arg Monitoring Feature

To get enable Query Arg Monitoring, click on Search Appearance in the All in One SEO menu and then click on the Advanced tab.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and enable the toggle for Query Arg Monitoring, then click the Save Changes button.

Log Retention

The only setting in Query Arg Monitoring is the Log Retention setting.

Click on the drop down to change the length of time that logs are kept for.

Block Query Arg

In this section, you will see a table showing a log of all query strings that have been used on your site. Above this table is a form where you can enter a query arg you want to block

When someone or something (such as a crawler or robot) use a query arg on your site, it will appear in the log as shown below:

You can select to block a query arg in the table. You have option for blocking the key or the key and value.

If you choose to block the key, it will block that key and any value for that key.

If you choose to block the key and value, it will only block that key when the specified value is present.

You can also choose Bulk Actions to block or delete entries.

You can use the form above the log table to enter any key and/or value. You can even use Regex to block keys.

Creating redirects in All in One SEO is already very easy to do. But now, you can also schedule them easily as well.

Adding a Redirect

You can learn how to add a redirect in All in One SEO here.

Scheduling a Redirect

Scheduling a redirect can only be done when you add a new redirect. To do this, follow the steps below.

First, click on Redirects in the All in One SEO menu.

You’ll see the Redirects screen and at the top will be the Add New Redirection form.

In the Source URL field, enter the URL you want to redirect from. The URL must be a relative URL, i.e. don’t include the https://mydomain.com part of your URL.

In the Target URL field, enter the URL you want to redirect to. The URL can be either a relative URL or an absolute URL.

In the Redirect Type drop down, select the redirect type.

Click on Advanced Settings and select Schedule in the Select Rule drop down.

You’ll see Start Date and End Date fields where you can select a date and set a time. Use these to select the date and time you want the redirect to start and end.

If you leave the End Date field blank, the redirect will have no end date and will continue until you disable or delete it.

Click the Add Redirect button to add your redirect.

Check out more documentation on our Redirection Manager here.

All in One SEO includes a set of WordPress blocks which you can use in the WordPress Block Editor to display author information anywhere on the page.

The author information added using these blocks comes from the Author SEO (E-E-A-T) feature in All in One SEO. You can find full details of how to use this feature in our Adding Author SEO (E-E-A-T) to Your Site article here.

Displaying the Author Excerpt

To display the Author Excerpt on a post, edit any post or other content using the default WordPress Block Editor and click the Add Block icon.

You can search for the block by typing AIOSEO in the search field.

You’ll see the AIOSEO – Author Bio block in the search results. Click on it to add it to your post.

The block will be added to your post and the sidebar will show the Block Settings.

You’ll see the full author excerpt taken from the Author Excerpt field on the Author SEO tab in the user’s profile.

You can click on the Show Compact Author Bio toggle in the Block Settings to change this block from displaying the Author Excerpt to displaying the full Author Bio.

Displaying the Author Biography

To display the full Author Bio on a post, follow the same steps as described above for the Author Excerpt but click the Show Compact Author Bio toggle in the Block Settings to disable the compact bio.

You’ll see the full author bio taken from the Author Bio field on the Author SEO tab in the user’s profile.

Using the AIOSEO – Author Name Block

The AIOSEO – Author Name block will display the author’s name and image, and when you hover over the name, a popup with the Author Excerpt will be shown as seen below:

When a visitor clicks on the See Full Bio link in the popup, they’ll be taken to the author archives.

To use this block, edit any post or other content using the default WordPress Block Editor and click the Add Block icon.

You can search for the block by typing AIOSEO in the search field.

You’ll see the AIOSEO – Author Name block in the search results. Click on it to add it to your post.

The block will be added to your post and the sidebar will show the Block Settings.

There are settings for the following:

• Show Label: Choose whether to show the “Written By:” label or not.
• Show Image: Choose whether to show the author image or not.
• Show Tooltip: Choose whether to display the popup when someone hovers over the name or not.

Using AIOSEO – Reviewer Name Block

The second of these additional blocks is the AIOSEO – Reviewer Name block.

This block looks and behaves the same as the Author Name block, except that it uses a Reviewer that you can set for each post.

Setting the Reviewer

To set the Reviewer, edit any post and in the sidebar you’ll see a Reviewer drop-down shown below:

You can click on the Reviewer drop-down to select a user who has reviewed the content of this post.

The AIOSEO – Reviewer Name block can now be used to display the reviewer’s name and image, and when you hover over the name, a popup with the Author Excerpt for the reviewer will be shown as seen below:

When a visitor clicks on the See Full Bio link in the popup, they’ll be taken to the author archives for the reviewer.

To use this block, edit any post or other content using the default WordPress Block Editor and click the Add Block icon.

You can search for the block by typing AIOSEO in the search field.

Click on Browse all to see the AIOSEO – Reviewer Name block in the search results. Click on it to add it to your post.

The block will be added to your post and the sidebar will show the Block Settings.

There are settings for the following:

• Show Label: Choose whether to show the “Reviewed By:” label or not.
• Show Image: Choose whether to show the reviewer’s image or not.
• Show Tooltip: Choose whether to display the popup when someone hovers over the name or not.

Alternative Methods of Displaying Author Information on Your Site

If you don’t use the WordPress Block editor then you can use shortcodes to display author information on your site here.

Search engines use this to determine the quality of content, and content quality is a big factor that determines what’s shown in search results.

For example, if you were searching for information about SEO, you’d want search results to show content written by experts on SEO.

All in One SEO can help you by enabling you to add author information that shows your experience and expertise in what you’re writing about.

What is E-E-A-T

To demonstrate first-hand experience in a subject, Google looks for something that they call E-E-A-T. This helps their Quality Raters assess the expertise of content writers.

E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness defined as follows:

• Experience means that you can clearly show that you have first-hand experience in the topic.
• Expertise means that you can clearly show that you have the necessary knowledge or skill for the topic.
• Authoritativeness means that you can clearly show that you and your site are an authority on the topic.
• Trustworthiness means that you can clearly show that you and your site are a trusted source on the topic. This is the most important element of E-E-A-T because search engines don’t want to show untrustworthy content. Quality Raters determine if content is “accurate, honest, safe, and reliable”.

Google provides some examples of what they consider is content lacking in E-E-A-T:

Using the Author SEO (E-E-A-T) Feature in AIOSEO

All in One SEO has an addon which you can use to demonstrate E-E-A-T for your content authors.

To get started, click on Feature Manager in the All in One SEO menu, and activate the Author SEO (E-E-A-T) feature.

This will add a new Author SEO tab to the Profile screen in WordPress for each user.

Next, click on Search Appearance in the All in One SEO menu and then click on the Author SEO tab.

You’ll see the first section is Display Info where you can find details of the Blocks that can be used in the default WordPress Block Editor, shortcodes that can be used in page builders and other editors, and PHP code that can be used in your theme template files.

You can learn about each of these methods in the relevant sections below.

The next setting is Append Author Bio to Posts. You can learn more about this in the Automatically Displaying the Author Excerpt section below.

Finally, there’s a Post Types setting where you can decide which types of content you want to use the Author SEO features with. The Author SEO features only work with post types that support authors.

Now your content writers can add information that shows their experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness on the subjects they write about.

Completing the Author Information

To complete your author information, click on Profile in the Users menu.

Click on the Author SEO tab to see the Author Info fields.

Enable Author Info

The first setting you’ll see (shown above) is the Enable Author Info toggle. You can use this to disable the Author Info features on this specific user.

Alumni Of

The next set of fields are for Alumni information, where you can enter the name of the school, college, or university where you studied, and the URL.

Click the Add Item button to add more rows, allowing you to add more education / alumni information.

Employer

The next field you’ll see is for Employer information, where you can enter the name of the organization you currently work for. Just like the Alumni information, this helps you show your experience and expertise.

Job Title

Below the Employer field, you’ll see a Job Title field where you can enter your current job title with the employer you entered above.

Knows About

Next, you’ll see a Knows About field where you can select from topics that you are an expert in.

These topics need to be entered at the global level by going to All in One SEO > Search Appearance > Author SEO > Author Experience Topics (E-E-A-T) in All in One SEO. To learn about this, go to Adding Author Experience Topics below.

Once you’ve entered topics under Author Experience Topics in All in One SEO, any user can select them in the Knows About field.

To select a topic, click in the Knows About field and a drop-down list of the topics you added will be displayed. Select a topic from the list. You can repeat this to select more topics.

Author Image, Author Excerpt, and Author Bio

The final set of fields are for author information. These are:

• Author Image: Upload an image such as a headshot. The image should be square. If you don’t set an image, then All in One SEO will use your Gravatar if you have one.
• Author Excerpt: Here you can enter a short biography or choose from one of the smart tags provided. By default, All in One SEO will use the Author Biography smart tag which will use whatever is entered in the Biographical Info field on the Personal Options tab of your profile. To learn about this, go to Displaying the Author Excerpt below.
• Author Bio: Here you can enter a detailed biography to show your experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness. To learn about this, go to Displaying the Author Biography below.

Append Author Bio to Posts

The last setting you’ll see is the Append Author Bio to Posts toggle. It will automatically display the Author Excerpt at the bottom of posts.

If this is enabled, All in One SEO will use the default setting under All in One SEO > Search Appearance > Author SEO.

Click on the toggle if you want to override the default setting for this user. You’ll see a second option you can use to do this.

To learn about this, go to Displaying the Author Excerpt below.

Adding Author Experience Topics

You can add topics that content writers on your site are experts in. They can then select these in the Knows About field on their profile.

To add topics, go to All in One SEO > Search Appearance > Author SEO > Author Experience Topics (E-E-A-T) in All in One SEO. You’ll see a table where you can add each topic.

In the Name field, you can enter the name of the topic. In the URL field, you can enter a URL to an authoritative site or page on the topic. In the Same as URLs field, you can enter any additional URLs relevant to the topic. You can enter multiple URLs in the Same as URLs field.

The Name field is the only required field, the others are optional. Here’s an example showing how the Author Experience Topics can be completed:

You can click the Add Item button to add more topics. You can click the delete icon to the right of each row to delete that topic. Once you’re done, click the Save Changes button.

Displaying the Author Excerpt

Now that you’ve set up your profile with your experience and expertise, you’ll want to display this in your content so that your visitors and search engines can see it.

As explained above, there are two types of bio’s, the Author Excerpt and the Author Bio.

Here’s an example of how the Author Excerpt looks when added to the bottom of a post:

Let’s look at how to display the Author Excerpt on your posts.

Automatically Displaying the Author Excerpt

You can choose to have All in One SEO automatically display the Author Excerpt below the content on your posts.

This can be controlled on a global level for all users by going to All in One SEO > Search Appearance > Author SEO.

You’ll see the Append Author Bio to Posts setting where you can select whether to enable automatic appending the Author Excerpt below the content on your posts, or disable it.

You can overide on an individual user level by editing the user and scrolling down to the Append Author Bio to Posts setting on the Author SEO tab.

You’ll see the Append Author Bio to Posts toggle. If the Use Default Setting is disabled and the second toggle is enabled, All in One SEO will automatically display the Author Excerpt at the bottom of posts. Disable this if you want to manually add the Author Excerpt at the bottom of posts.

Manually Displaying the Author Excerpt

You can also choose to manually display the Author Excerpt anywhere on a post using a block in the Block Editor.

To do this, edit any post or other content using the default WordPress Block Editor and click the Add Block icon.

You can search for the block by typing AIOSEO in the search field.

You’ll see the AIOSEO – Author Bio block in the search results. Click on it to add it to your post.

The block will be added to your post and the sidebar will show the Block Settings.

You can click on the Show Compact Author Bio toggle in the Block Settings to change this block from displaying the Author Excerpt to displaying the full Author Bio.

Displaying the Author Biography

To display the full Author Bio on a post, follow the same steps as described above for the Author Excerpt but click the Show Compact Author Bio toggle in the Block Settings to disable the compact bio.

You’ll see the full author bio taken from the Author Bio field on the Author SEO tab in the user’s profile.

Displaying Social Profiles in the Author Excerpt and Bio

You can display icons for social media networks that link to your profiles in the Author Excerpt and Author Bio blocks as shown in the example below:

To do this, users will need to complete the Social Profiles section on the Author SEO tab of their profile.

A social icon will be displayed for each profile URL that’s entered. When a visitor clicks on the icon, the URL of the social profile will open in a new tab.

Using the AIOSEO – Author Name Block

The AIOSEO – Author Name block will display the author’s name and image, and when you hover over the name, a popup with the Author Excerpt will be shown as seen below:

When a visitor clicks on the See Full Bio link in the popup, they’ll be taken to the author archives.

To use this block, edit any post or other content using the default WordPress Block Editor and click the Add Block icon.

You can search for the block by typing AIOSEO in the search field.

You’ll see the AIOSEO – Author Name block in the search results. Click on it to add it to your post.

The block will be added to your post and the sidebar will show the Block Settings.

There are settings for the following:

• Show Label: Choose whether to show the “Written By:” label or not.
• Show Image: Choose whether to show the author image or not.
• Show Tooltip: Choose whether to display the popup when someone hovers over the name or not.

Using AIOSEO – Reviewer Name Block

The second of these additional blocks is the AIOSEO – Reviewer Name block.

This block looks and behaves the same as the Author Name block, except that it uses a Reviewer that you can set for each post.

Setting the Reviewer

To set the Reviewer, edit any post and in the sidebar you’ll see a Reviewer drop-down shown below:

You can click on the Reviewer drop-down to select a user who has reviewed the content of this post.

The AIOSEO – Reviewer Name block can now be used to display the reviewer’s name and image, and when you hover over the name, a popup with the Author Excerpt for the reviewer will be shown as seen below:

When a visitor clicks on the See Full Bio link in the popup, they’ll be taken to the author archives for the reviewer.

To use this block, edit any post or other content using the default WordPress Block Editor and click the Add Block icon.

You can search for the block by typing AIOSEO in the search field.

Click on Browse all to see the AIOSEO – Reviewer Name block in the search results. Click on it to add it to your post.

The block will be added to your post and the sidebar will show the Block Settings.

There are settings for the following:

• Show Label: Choose whether to show the “Reviewed By:” label or not.
• Show Image: Choose whether to show the reviewer’s image or not.
• Show Tooltip: Choose whether to display the popup when someone hovers over the name or not.

How to Display Author SEO Using Shortcodes

In addition to using blocks to display author information on your site, you can also use shortcodes if you’re not using the WordPress Block Editor.

The shortcodes are:

Author Excerpt Shortcode

Use the shortcode below to display the Author Excerpt.

[aioseo_eeat_author_bio compact="true"]

Author Bio Shortcode

Use the shortcode below to display the Author Bio.

[aioseo_eeat_author_bio compact="false"]

Author Name Shortcode

Use the shortcode below to display the Author Name.

[aioseo_eeat_author_tooltip show-label="true" show-image="true" show-tooltip="true"]

The attributes for this shortcode are:

• show-label: Choose whether to show the “Written By:” label or not.
• show-image: Choose whether to show the author image or not.
• show-tooltip: Choose whether to display the popup when someone hovers over the name or not.

Reviewer Name Shortcode

Use the shortcode below to display the Reviewer Name.

[aioseo_eeat_reviewer_tooltip show-label="true" show-image="true" show-tooltip="true"]

The attributes for this shortcode are:

• show-label: Choose whether to show the “Reviewed By:” label or not.
• show-image: Choose whether to show the reviewer’s image or not.
• show-tooltip: Choose whether to display the popup when someone hovers over the name or not.

How to Display Author SEO Using PHP Code

In addition to using blocks or shortcodes to display author information on your site, you can also use PHP code.

Here’s the code to use in your theme templates:

Author Excerpt Code

Use the code below to display the Author Excerpt.

<?php aioseo_eeat_author_bio( $compact = true ); ?>

Author Bio Code

Use the code below to display the Author Bio.

<?php aioseo_eeat_author_bio( $compact = false ); ?>

Author Name Code

Use the code below to display the Author Name.

<?php aioseo_eeat_author_tooltip( $showLabel = true, $showImage = true, $showTooltip = true ); ?>

Reviewer Name Code

Use the code below to display the Reviewer Name.

<?php aioseo_eeat_reviewer_tooltip( $showLabel = true, $showImage = true, $showTooltip = true); ?>

All of the code listed above needs to run inside the WordPress loop; otherwise All in One SEO will not be able to determine the context of the current page. If the function is called outside of the loop, nothing will be rendered.

This article will answer frequently asked questions and provide you with the guidelines for how to get images to appear in search.

For the purposes of this article, we’re going to refer to Google as it’s the most commonly used search engine. But the guidance in this article are best practices that can be applied to any search engine.

Can You Force Search Engines to Display Images?

The short answer is no, you can’t make search engines display images in search results.  Search engines decide what they feel is the best way to display the results, and they do this on a per-search basis, depending on the search term entered.

Do Images Show in Desktop and Mobile Searches?

Yes, it is possible for images to appear in desktop search results but mostly images will only appear in mobile search results.

Most search engines have moved to a mobile-first approach because they’ve seen most searches come from mobile devices. So it’s best to optimize your site, content, and images for mobile devices.

Optimizing Images for Search Engines

There are a number of things that you can do to improve the chances of your images appearing in search results. Below are the details of how to optimize images in your content.

Make Images Responsive

Most searches occur on mobile devices such as phones and tables. This means that your content and images need to be responsive (respond to the size of the screen used to view your content).

Most good WordPress themes should handle this for you, but be sure to check your content on your phone to see how it looks. Attention should be paid to how the image appears, how content around the image looks, and how long it takes to load the image.

Web.dev has a good article on making images responsive here.

Use High Quality Images

Images attract attention, so making sure your images are sharp and high quality is important.

High quality images are usually a contributor to page load times, so ensure you use image optimization techniques to compress the file size. There are a number of great WordPress plugins that can do this.

Use Descriptive Filenames, Captions, Alt Text and Titles

Your images should have filenames that describe what the image is. For example, large-orange-striped-cat.jpg is better than img1234.jpg or image1.jpg. Use hyphens and not underscores in filenames, i.e. black-cat.png not black_cat.png.

Add descriptive Alt text to your image and, if appropriate, a descriptive caption. Both of these really help search engines understand your image much better. Avoid the temptation for keyword stuffing.

The Image SEO addon for All in One SEO Pro can automatically add Alt text, titles, and captions to your images, so it’s a great feature, especially if you have a lot of images.

Optimize the Placement of Images

Place important images as high up in your content as possible. Search engines will typically use the first image they see in search results, so the first image should be the most important.

Optimize the Content Around Images

Always ensure that the rest of the content around your images, and your page or post where the images are embedded, are optimized.

Ensure you’ve added a good SEO title and meta description. You can easily do this with All in One SEO. Check out our article on Setting the SEO Title and Description for Your Content here.

Add the correct Schema structured data. Again, this can easily be done with All in One SEO. Check out our article on Setting the Schema Type for Individual Content here.

The TruSEO Content Analysis features in All in One SEO can help you optimize your content around focus keywords.

Remember Your Visitors

You should always optimize your content for your audience. Search engines want to see helpful content that is informative and interesting for your audience, and that offers something unique over the billions of other web pages on the Internet.

This goes for images as well. Avoid the stock image trap where every business site uses the same stock images. Make your images unique and reflective of who you or your organization are.

Make Your Images Discoverable

Once you’ve written great quality, helpful, unique content, and optimized the content and images, you now want to ensure your images can be found by search engines.

First, make sure the page or post is publicly accessible. Search engines can’t see content that’s behind a login or paywall.

Next, make sure your content and images appear in your XML Sitemap. You can check this by going to All in One SEO > Sitemaps and click on the Open Sitemap button on the General Sitemap tab.

Depending on your Sitemap settings, you’ll either see a list of all your content, or a list of sitemaps that contain your content, i.e. one for posts, one for pages, etc. If you see a list of sitemaps, click on the relevant one to see all the URLs.

Once you’ve located the URL for your content, you’ll see a column for Images that lists the number of images contained within that content.

If you right-click anywhere on the page and select View Page Source you can search for the URL of your content and see a list of the images.

You can submit your XML Sitemap to search engines using their Webmaster Tools. We have an article on submitting your sitemap to Google here and one for submitting your sitemap to Bing here.

Additional Information

Google has a number of articles that cover this topic in more depth. You can find these articles here:

• Add an image to Google search results
• Google image SEO best practices
• Mobile site and mobile-first indexing best practices

All in One SEO makes it easy by enabling you to control the title, description, and image that will appear on Slack when you share a URL for your content.

To do this, exit out of your content editor, saving any changes, and go to All in One SEO > Social Networks and click on the Twitter tab.

Scroll down to the Additional Data setting and set it to Enabled.

This will enable All in One SEO to output the author of the content as the Written by and it will calculate and output the Estimated reading time.

That’s all! You’ve now set the social meta that Slack will use when your content is shared.

All in One SEO makes it easy by enabling you to control the title, description, and image that will appear on WhatsApp when you share a URL for your content.

You can select Custom Image and a Facebook Image setting will be displayed where you can upload an image, select an image from your Media Library or paste the URL for an image.

That’s all! Now you can share your content on WhatsApp.

To get started, click on Local SEO in the All in One SEO menu and then click on the Import tab.

You’ll see a drop down on this screen where you can select which plugin you want to import location information from.

Select the plugin and click the Import button.

If you’re using the Single Location features in All in One SEO then the information will be imported into the Locations tab under All in One SEO > Local SEO.

If you’re using the Multiple Location features in All in One SEO then the information will be imported into the Locations custom post type which can be found by clicking on Locations in the WordPress menu.

All in One SEO makes it really easy to see if your content has been indexed or not, and why it’s not been indexed.

Checking the Index Status in ​Search Statistics

To check whether your content has been indexed by Google, click on ​Search Statistics in the All in One SEO menu and then click on the SEO Statistics tab.

Scroll down to the Content Performance table. Here you’ll see a column for Indexed with icons in the column to denote the status.

When you hover over the icon in the Indexed column you’ll see a popup showing details of the index status in Google.

This popup includes the following details of the index status:

• Whether this content is indexed or not.
• When Google last crawled this content.
• Which user agent Google used to crawl this content (by default, Google uses their mobile user agent).
• Whether crawling is allowed or not.
• Whether indexing is allowed or not.
• Whether the content was successfully fetched.
• The canonical URL set for this content and the canonical URL Google used when indexing this content.

If there’s a problem with Google indexing your content then you’ll see either an orange or red icon. Hover over the icon to see the details of the problem.

Checking the Index Status on the All Posts Screen

You can also check the index status of your content on the All Posts screen.

You’ll see the AIOSEO Details column shows the same Index Status icon and when you hover over the icon, you’ll see the popup with the details.
