What is a WordPress Plugin?
In WordPress, a plugin is a small software application that enhances a website’s functionality by adding new features or tools.
Plugins are essential for customizing and optimizing WordPress websites, allowing users to integrate advanced capabilities – such as SEO enhancements, e-commerce tools, and property listings – without needing any coding knowledge.
What Does the SharpLaunch WordPress Plugin Do?
The SharpLaunch WordPress plugin automatically generates static pages for each published property on SharpLaunch, complete with optimized meta tags and descriptions.
When setting up a new Property Search Engine (PSE) on a WordPress site, this plugin will be manually installed and configured to ensure all available properties are created as static pages.
Static pages offer a clean, structured format that enhances search engine crawlability and indexing, providing a valuable SEO advantage.
Steps to install and configure the WP plugin:
1. Login to your WordPress site
2. Go to Plugins >> Add plugin >> Upload plugin
3. Upload the ZIP file of the WP plugin
4. Once the plugin is installed, go to Plugins >> Installed plugins, search for “SharpLaunch Property Search Engine” and activate it
5. Go to Settings >> SharpLaunch PSE settings, add the PSE key, then click Save
6. Click the button “Sync Properties”
7. All the available properties will be created as static pages in the menu Properties
