Basically the title, went into the admin and content config, saw homepage is enabled, no modifications in recent weeks, homepage just displays header.

We’re sorry an error occurred displaying this content message at the top.

Any tips to land this plane since the pilot is out in a coma?

This is the first time I am setting up magento with nginx and I am getting the following error when I try access : http:myip/setup 2023/07/20 14:28:36 [error] 163457#163457: *33 connect() to unix:/run/php/php8.1.sock failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 122.178.223.46, server: 127.0.0.1, request: "GET /setup/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/run/php/php8.1.sock:", host: "128.199.24.38" Don’t mind abou the disclosure of ip as its just for testing purpose. This is my nginx server block: “`upstream fastcgi_backend { server unix:/run/php/magento2.sock; }

server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; set $MAGE_ROOT /var/www/magento; set $MAGE_MODE default; index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html; server_name 127.0.0.1; include /var/www/magento/nginx.conf.sample; access_log /var/log/nginx/magento-access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/magento-error.log; location ~ .php$ { try_files $uri =404; fastcgi_split_path_info ^.+php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/magento2.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; } }“` Php8.1-fpm is installed and running as well. This is my /var/www/magento/nginx.conf.sample file:

Example configuration:

upstream fastcgi_backend {

# use tcp connection

# server 127.0.0.1:9000;

# or socket

server unix:/var/run/php/php8.1.sock; # Update this to match your actual PHP-FPM socket path

}

server {

listen 80;

server_name mage.dev;

set $MAGE_ROOT /var/www/magento;

set $MAGE_DEBUG_SHOW_ARGS 0;

include /vagrant/magento2/nginx.conf.sample;

}

Optional override of deployment mode. We recommend you use the

command ‘bin/magento deploy:mode:set’ to switch modes instead.

set $MAGE_MODE default; # or production or developer

If you set MAGE_MODE in server config, you must pass the variable into the

PHP entry point blocks, which are indicated below. You can pass

it in using:

fastcgi_param MAGE_MODE $MAGE_MODE;

In production mode, you should uncomment the ‘expires’ directive in the /static/ location block

I am trying in debian 11. How to resolve this?

So my client has a store made in magento 1.9.4.x (I assume). But the client still wants to use the same version but it’s already not supported and no download option available now. Although, we recommended to use the latest version for added security, client still insist to use the old one. How can I use version 1.9.4.5?

In magento 2.4.5, if a parent category is an anchor. And a subcategory has product. Then that product automatically shows in the parent category. Even though the product is not checked off in the parent category. Is there any way to stop this default behavior? Because we don’t want to show some products in parent category and only show them in subcategories.

But we need layered navigation, so we set parent category as an anchor.

​

or is it possible to make the parent category NOT an Anchor, but display layered navigation.

Thanks in Advance.

Can it really be true, that there is no way to import youtube video’s?

One of my clients is in the process of changing all their products away from some shitty custom product type to configurable products. In the process I noticed when we import their products files to add the new products, the youtube video is not imported. it seems seriously stupid and like a huge missing feature for import functionality?

Anyone managed to find a good solution for this, so my client dont have to add 1000 youtube vidoes again, manually?

Harness the power of keyword research

Keyword research is crucial for driving organic traffic to your Magento store. Here’s why it matters and two fantastic tools to help you get started:

The power of keywords: Keywords are the foundation of successful SEO. They connect your products with potential customers searching for them. Using relevant keywords strategically boosts your visibility in search results.

The challenge of keyword research: For SEO beginners, identifying the right keywords can be daunting. But fear not! Keyword research tools come to the rescue, making the process easier and more effective. I have two tools that I use regularly:

• Google AdWords Keyword Tool: This free tool from Google provides valuable insights into keyword search volume, competition, and related terms. It’s an excellent starting point to discover relevant keywords for your products.

• Keywordtool.io: This versatile tool offers keyword suggestions from various sources, including Google, Bing, and YouTube. It provides long-tail keywords and even questions that users might ask, helping you target specific customer queries.

=> How to use them: Enter relevant product-related terms into these tools, and they will generate a list of potential keywords. Focus on high-volume and low-competition keywords to optimize your product pages effectively.

Combine short-tail keywords (generic terms with high search volume) with long-tail keywords (more specific phrases) (*this keyword have to same intent*)

🔍 Stay relevant and monitor: Keep an eye on your competitors and industry trends to ensure your chosen keywords remain relevant.

Hello fellow Magento developers, I wrote a module to manage Magento’s cache via API. This module can:
Enable the cache(s).
Disable the cache(s).
Clean the cache(s).
Flush the cache(s).
Also off course this API is behind Admin ACL.
Let me know your expert thoughts and suggestions. Cheers.

Don’t fall into the duplicate content trap!

Avoid duplicate content on your Magento 2 product pages to maintain search engine credibility and attract more visitors. When multiple versions of the same page exist with slight variations in URLs or parameters, it can confuse search engine spiders. Here’s how to tackle it:

– Use canonical tags: Implement canonical tags to specify the preferred URL for search engines, consolidating the variations into one authoritative page.

– Set up URL parameters correctly: Ensure that URL parameters like sorting or pagination don’t create duplicate content. Use proper pagination tags and specify parameter handling in Google Search Console.

– Optimize meta tags: Craft unique and descriptive meta titles and descriptions for each product page. Avoid duplicating them across different variations.

– Enable product page filters: Implement user-friendly filters to enhance the browsing experience. Ensure that filter URLs don’t generate duplicate content.

– Leverage structured data: Implement structured data markup, such as schema.org, to provide search engines with clear information about your products and differentiate them from duplicates.

– Monitor crawl errors: Regularly check Google Search Console for crawl errors and address them promptly. Fixing broken links and resolving indexing issues helps maintain a healthy site structure.

– Prioritize unique content: Invest in high-quality, original product descriptions, images, and reviews to differentiate your pages from competitors and avoid duplicate content issues.

– Utilize URL rewrites: Create SEO-friendly URLs that accurately represent your products and avoid automatically generated URLs with unnecessary parameters.

– Stay vigilant with redirects: When necessary, set up proper 301 redirects from duplicate URLs to the canonical version to consolidate link equity and ensure a seamless user experience.

Depreciated USPS Shipping methods; new USPS Ground Advantage method #37742

From what I can see, there has been no patch released to support USPS’s depreciation of First Class Mail and other services. They have been grouped together to a service called “USPS Ground Advantage”. Magento has no support for this shipping method.
What are you guys doing to work around this?

I am having challenges installing magento 2.4.0 with php 7.3.33 on Centos 7.

There are a lot of plugins out there, if you have an ecommerce store which plugin will you choose and why?

Which plugin is most suitable for your business?

We are getting 404 errors in Google Search Console when product names are changed. Should Magento be automatically creating a URL rewrite when product names are changed?

Hey everyone, Someone knows some real world use of Magento outside the e-commerce?
