How are things?
It’s yet another rainy Wednesday – weather has been very weird this year so far in Italy and we’re all wondering were the sun has gone…
Anyway, welcome back to our WooCommerce Weekly appointment! Here comes a series of WooCommerce articles put together by yours truly so that you can learn something new… you’ll also find a “What I’m working on this week” update and a brand new “SEO Tip of the Week“.
Thank you in advance and enjoy 🙂
New: WooCommerce Tips & Tutorials
WooCommerce: Recently Viewed Products (Shortcode)
Currently, you can use a widget to have the user see the list of products they recently viewed. But for now, let’s create our own shortcode, and let’s take advantage of the existing
shortcode. This snippet teaches you where recently viewed products are stored (spoiler: in a cookie). Enjoy: https://businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-recently-viewed-products-shortcode/WooCommerce: Edit “Continue Shopping” Link Redirect
“Continue Shopping” appears on the Cart page when an item is added to Cart. By default it redirects to the previously visited page – sometimes this makes no sense and you might want to send them back to the main shop page instead. Here’s a quick snippet to do just that.

New: “SEO Tip of The Week” (by Francesco Baldini)

noindex Image Attachment Pages
The aim of this tip is to prevent the indexing of media pages on your website. WordPress automatically generates a new page for each image you upload – if you have 100 blog posts with an average of 3 images each, this results in 300 additional URLs whose only content is an image.
I recommend changing the default media pages SEO configuration to “noindex”. This is easy to do with the new versions of YOAST plugin.
Hope this helps 🙂
New: “What I’m Working on This Week”
- I finally deleted my Facebook account. I feel much better now.
- I spoke to a graphic designer, and hired him for the re-branding of Business Bloomer.
- I’m working on CustomizeWoo 2.0, so I’m redoing each lesson slides from scratch and re-recording all videos.
