Index woocommerce category + woocommerce attribute

Hello,

You can set the filter brand to uppercase by using the ucfirst() function from PHP on that variable: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ucfirst.php

As for the canonical of those pages, you would need to edit the following filter to make sure the URL of the canonical matches the URL on the page on the filter pages: https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#change-canonical-url

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

Hello,

Please try adding this filter to force the self-referencing canonical URL with filtered pages:

add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
	$canonical = 'https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
	return $canonical;
});

Once done, clear your website’s cache and check again.

Let us know how this goes.

Thank you.

Hello,

In this case, you would need to modify the filter a bit.

Please refer to this code instead:

add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
	$url = 'https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
	if(strpos($url,'?filter_brand=') !== false){
		return $url;
	}
	
	return $canonical;
});

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.

Hello,

By default, our sitemap only adds actual pages or posts and not dynamic pages such as the filter pages on your website. To add it to your sitemap you need to manually add it using this filter: https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#add-extra-urls-in-sitemap

I would suggest just letting Google discover these types of URLs as forcing many URLs that are not often visited may cost you unnecessary crawling budgets. However, if you believe these URLs are always visited by your users, then you can go ahead and add them to your sitemap or use the Instant Indexing feature.

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.

Hello,

I’ve checked your page sitemap, and indeed the sample URL is not getting included.

Please follow the steps below for initial troubleshooting:

1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:
https://i.rankmath.com/pipRDp

2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:
https://rankmath.com/kb/exclude-sitemaps-from-caching/

If the issue still persists, please try adding this filter to your active theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'rank_math/sitemap/enable_caching', '__return_false');

Let us know how this goes.

Thank you.

Hello,

Unfortunately, this process could not be automated and needed to include each brand-filtered URL in the code/filter you’re using.

However, since they are already set to index, they are not required to be included in your sitemap like my colleague mentioned above. They can be discovered using different methods like internal linking as well.

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.
