Keywords can be seen as template tags, with each Keyword comprising of one or more Terms. Depending on the content for each Term, it may also be possible to access a subset of each Term’s data through the use of Delimiters and Column Names.
When Pages, Posts or Custom Post Types are generated through the Generate Content screens, you’ll use Keywords. A different Term within each Keyword will automatically be used for each Page, Post or Custom Post Type generated.
Don’t worry if this conceptual structure doesn’t make sense immediately; working through the Documentation – in order – will introduce and explain these concepts in more detail.
To access keywords, click on the Page Generator Pro menu entry in the WordPress Administration, and then click Keywords.
Add a Keyword
- Click the Add Keyword button below the title:
- Define the following options:
- Keyword: the template tag you’ll use when generating Pages / Posts / Custom Post Types. Use letters, numbers and underscores only – no spaces.
- Terms: the words or phrases that will be cycled through when generating content using this keyword. Enter one word / phrase per line.
- Data Import: if you have a text file with one word / phrase per line, you can upload it here. This will append the data to the end of the Terms field – so any existing Terms you’ve specified will remain.
Want to upload a CSV file into multiple Keywords and Terms instead? Use the Import CSV option. - Click the Save button
Add a Keyword: Understanding Delimiter and Column Fields
When adding or editing a Keyword, you’ll see options to define both Delimiter and Column Fields. These give us greater control over outputting partial Terms when using a Keyword.
Assuming you have the following example Keyword configured:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Keyword | location |
| Terms | Birmingham, West Midlands Harborne, West Midlands Selly Oak, West Midlands |
We can define the Delimiter and Column Names:
- Delimiter: ,
- Columns: city_name,county_name
This means that we could use the Keyword as follows in our Content Groups, extracting partial values from each Term using the bracket notation:
| Keyword | Example Value |
|---|---|
| {location(city_name)} | Birmingham |
| {location(county_name)} | West Midlands |
Add a Keyword with Automatic Terms
If you have a keyword, but cannot think of a list of Terms / similar words / synonyms to use as Terms for that keyword, Page Generator Pro will attempt to automatically populate the list of Terms for you.
To do this:
- Click the Add Keyword button below the title:
- Define the following options:
- Keyword: the template tag you’ll use when generating Pages / Posts / Custom Post Types. Use letters, numbers and underscores only – no spaces.
- Terms: leave this blank.
- Click the Save button
The keyword will then be displayed, along with a list of Terms automatically generated by the plugin:
Edit a Keyword
- Click on the Edit text below the keyword you want to edit:
- Define the following options, as you would when adding a keyword.
- Click the Save button
Duplicate a Keyword
- Click on the Duplicate text below the keyword you want to edit:
- The keyword will appear on the list, with _copy appended to it:
- Edit the keyword as necessary to make any changes.
Delete a Keyword
Either:
- Use the checkboxes to the left of the keyword(s) you wish to delete, and then choose Delete from the Bulk Actions dropdown
- Hover the mouse cursor over the keyword, and then click Delete:
