And that's confusing as how would you submit both old AND new URLSs as sitemaps in the old site? I don't understand how that would be done, and the link in that #5 just loops back to the same documentation page!!

Looks like some Google documentation needs some updating.

submit the two sitemaps you prepared previously containing the old and new urls

Google Search Central•16.12.2020

Hello,

I am preparing to move a site from .com to .org

In developer docs pages here ( https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/site-move-with-url-changes?ref_topic=6033084 ) is says "

"On the old site, submit the two sitemaps you prepared previously containing the old and new URLs.This helps our crawlers discover the redirects from the old URLs to the new URLs, and facilitates the site move."

However, if you do a search for this phrase "On the old site, submit the two sitemaps you prepared previously" you get several even fairly recent support inquiries that state:

"On the destination site, submit the two sitemaps you prepared previously containing the old and new URLs. This helps our crawlers discover the redirects from the old URLs to the new URLs, and facilitates the site move."

So which is it....the OLD site, the NEW site or BOTH sites? I'm assuming I should do the former since that is what is listed in Google's own documentation. But can somebody clarify this? And also, where do I see documentation of exactly how to submit the TWO sitemaps and in what format so that it knows about the 301 redirects to the destination site?

Thanks for the help!

This is happening on many/most blogs it appears, on all pages and post. See chrome dev console on this one for example: https://www.happycloudstories.com/

Many blogger blogs are showing 403 errors in the chrome console related to resources on googleusercontent.com.

Even blogger's own site shows the 403: https://blogger.googleblog.com/

THE ERROR:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()

The exact resource is not always the same depending on the blog, but the 403 error is.

Antwort an How to exclude sidebar based on url

Blogger•15.10.2020

@DarkUFO that option doesn't seem to work as data:view.url does not include the url query parameters. I just posted an update above from an answer I received from stackoverflow.

Antwort an How to exclude sidebar based on url

Blogger•15.10.2020

I received help on stackoverflow with a workaround using ?view=hide-sidebar

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64375158/hide-section-of-blogger-template-on-page-load-based-on-a-string-present-in-the-u

<b:if cond='data:blog.view == "hide-sidebar"'>

</b:if>

'view' must be named 'view'

'hide-sidebar' can be whatever you want

And you can use either == or != depending on your usecase

For example, adding these two bolded lines below in my Contempo template worked to hide the entire sidebar / aside if the page url is https://www.myblog.com/p/mypage.html?view=hide-sidebar

<b:if cond='data:blog.view != "hide-sidebar"'>
  <aside class='sidebar-container container sidebar-invisible' role='complementary'>
    ...lots of lines... 
  </aside>
</b:if>

This is a workaround, so I don't know if there could be unintended consequences using this.

Antwort an How to exclude sidebar based on url

Blogger•15.10.2020

Thanks, I'm aware of the conditional codes you mention.

The problem is they only work on == and !== whereas I need something like CONTAINS string.

e.g. I want a section included if url is just /p/mypage.html and I want the section excluded if my url is /p/mypage.html?sidebar=hide (in other words, exclude section if the url CONTAINS the string sidebar=hide)

Make sense?

How to exclude sidebar based on url

Blogger•15.10.2020

How can I hide a section in my blogger template (contempo) on page load based a string present in the url?

In particular I'd like to hide the aside / sidebar-container based on a url parameter that is present, for example myblog.com/p/mypage.html?sidebar=hide

Note I'm not looking to use display:none as that still loads all of the aside content from the template adding to page load time and extra bulk. I'm looking to exclude it from the template section code based on a string contains (or similar) condition.

For example, I'd love to be able to use something like <b: if cond= to exclude a section from the template, BUT in my case I need something like <b: if cond CONTAINS mystring ( the key difference being the use of CONTAINS instead of = )

I've been looking for an answer to this for months off and on with no replies on how to do it.

Thank you if you can help.

How to change the meta description on search/label pages

Blogger•25.7.2020

Hello,

I understand how to change the TITLE of the search/label pages (e.g. myblog.com/search/label/mylabel) using the following lines in the template:

<b:elseif cond='data:view.isLabelSearch' />

<data:view.search.label /> - <data:blog.title />

How would I change the META DESCRIPTION on these pages?

I tried adding the description right where I changed the title above, but it then seems to get included back somehow. (maybe all-head-content? but I'm not sure where to override)

Where is the correct place in the template to change the meta description on these data:view.isLabelSearch pages?

Thanks!

Use url parameter to filter the content of a section in the template

I would like to filter the display of the aside sidebar-container section based on a url parameter of the page.

So for example, if the url is https://www.myblog.com/p/mypage.html?display=none

Exclude sidebar section based on string present in url

Blogger•27.4.2020

I'm trying to to use the cond= to not show my sidebar in cases where a url parameter called exclude is present. I've tried multiple things along the lines of the following, but it's not working:

<b:section cond='data:view.url not contains "exclude"' class='sidebar_bottom' id='sidebar_bottom' name='Sidebar (Bottom)' preferred='yes'>

And I've tried:

<b:section cond='!data:view.url contains "exclude"' class='sidebar_bottom' id='sidebar_bottom' name='Sidebar (Bottom)' preferred='yes'>

What would the correct syntax be please?

Antwort an How can i create a custom map with zip code boundaries for specific zip codes. I have a list in CSV

Google Maps•5.8.2019

Here's a way to create an Google Maps-based custom ZIP Code map on the fly by passing a comma-separated list of ZIP Codes as a URL parameter.

You can also choose whether or not you want to show the merged ZIP Code merged boundary (e.g. to represent a service territory, sales territory or delivery area)

And optionally create a title for the map (use the + character to represent spaces in the title). Here's an example URL:

https://www.randymajors.com/p/customgmap.html?zips=10023,10024,10025,10026&zipboundary=show&title=My+Service+Territory
