I am working SEO on wordpress, my goal is to rent out a page by using iframe to put my clients webpage all over mine, but in wordpress if I use iframe the toolbar and widgets remain there. Is there way of hiding everything and just leaving another web page on top of mine? Thank you for your time.
Please note that using an iframe might not contribute much in terms of SEO. Have a read through this article. What might be relevant:
iFrames are merely referencing the content, instead of duplicating it. When robots crawl the site and register the iframe tag, they will attribute the original source with any SEO credit instead of the page using the embedded content – i.e. the page with the iFrame.
That said:
To hide the admin toolbar, either disable it in your profile, via /wp-admin/profile.php. Or do this programmatically (in functions.php) with something like:
if (!is_admin) {
add_filter('show_admin_bar', '__return_false');
}
To remove widgets, try following the tutorial on justintadlock.com, in functions.php add something like:
add_filter( 'sidebars_widgets', 'disable_all_widgets' );
function disable_all_widgets( $sidebars_widgets ) {
$sidebars_widgets = array( false );
return $sidebars_widgets;
}

I created a new navigation item on the left for my WP Admin:
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'addManagementMenuItem' );
function addManagementMenuItem(){
add_menu_page('Issue Management', 'Issue Management', 'manage_options', 'issue_management_slug', 'issue_management_building_function','',3);
}
function issue_management_building_function(){
if(!current_user_can('manage_options')){
}
else {
?>
...
...
So where I have the ellipsis ... is where my HTML begins and I write out some information to the page with various php echo statements to print some data out.
What I would like to do is now give the user the ability to enter in a filter and press submit. This would issue a POST to another page which would receive the post data, run some stuff, and spit out something else to the screen. I was just thinking this would take the user away from the WP-ADMIN area entirely (what I want to do is keep the user all within the right pane so it looks like it's natively happening on WordPress under my new admin area)
Something feels wrong about this approach above where I'm putting tons of html into functions.php - what is the way to create pages for a custom admin section where I can do things like post forms and go to multiple pages?
I was thinking the best solution would be to put an iframe in my injected HTML in functions.php, and then the pages can talk to themselves just like normal behind the scenes in WP-admin.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?
thanks!
Considering the user input/_POST features you'd like to add to this, you may want to consider building this functionality out as your own plugin. I've always kept custom functionality limited to non-user interaction in the functions.php file, but anything further would probably be better fit as it's own plugin.
For example, what if you created a plugin directory named nullhypothesis:
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'addManagementMenuItem' );
function addManagementMenuItem(){
add_menu_page('Issue Management', 'Issue Management', 'manage_options', 'nullhypothesis/file_to_do_your_bidding.php', 'issue_management_building_function','',3);
}
It's that fourth parameter that in the documentation mentions that you should include the menu_slug, but it doesn't necessarily need to only be a function - it can also be a file you define.
Then, in your file_to_do_your_bidding.php file (within your plugin), you can add whatever _POST functionality you'd need it to. It could also exist as the 'admin' page that the administrator/whoever interacts with.
Was that what you were looking for?
I would like to remove the JSON-LD schema that Yoast applies to my WordPress site so that I can add my own. I have already added my own, and Google Structured Data Testing says that it is OK, but basically I have 3 separate JSON-LD schemas instead of two because of Yoast.
You can see what I mean here: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/#url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yogabearpc.com
Yoast has added the WebSite schema and it seems unnecessary or even damaging?
I wanted to disable this because of the sitelinks searchbox and the fact that I don't have a search function that works globally, just on the blog. Having the search box enabled for me would have undesirable effects.
The easier option may just be to prevent Google using the sitelinks searchbox without having to touch the functions files. You can prevent Google using sitelinks searchbox on your site by using the following meta:
<meta name="google" content="nositelinkssearchbox" />
If you want to disable Yoast's JSON-LD all together then here's a snippet from my blog and the code I use on my site:

How to disable Yoast SEO Schema JSON-LD completely
function bybe_remove_yoast_json($data){
$data = array();
return $data;
}
add_filter('wpseo_json_ld_output', 'bybe_remove_yoast_json', 10, 1);
Login to your WordPress dashboard and head over to the editor
within the tab menu appearance, find your functions file (normally
named functions.php) and add the code below just before the PHP tag is
closed at the bottom.
Simplest way to completely disable the Yoast SEO schema JSON-LD
Add this line to functions.php file:
add_filter( 'wpseo_json_ld_output', '__return_empty_array' );
Source
If you want to disable just Organization or just Website, add this to your theme's functions.php file:
function bybe_remove_yoast_json($data){
if ( (isset($data['#type'])) && ($data['#type'] == 'Organization') ) {
$data = array();
}
return $data;
}
add_filter('wpseo_json_ld_output', 'bybe_remove_yoast_json', 10, 1);
Unless the data Yoast produces is wrong, there is no harm in having it. Quite the contrary, having more structured data is better than having less.
If having it is "unnecessary" depends on your definition of what is necessary. Some consumers might be interested in it, others not.
My guess is that Yoast adds a WebSite entity because of Google’s sitelinks searchbox rich snippet result, which allows Google users to search your site directly from the Google search result.
I have done quite a bit of googling and have not found a simple solution for a method or a plugin to simply load a different static homepage for mobile devices. Is there a way to do this or a plugin that will do this (without revamping the whole site for mobile devices, as the mobile site style is good, but the specific static homepage is the only thing that I need changed). Wordpress CMS is the platform.
Thanks in advance!
Update:
So I installed the plugin suggested below, copied over an exact copy of the theme I am using but named it with 'mobile' in front just for reference, other than that everything is exactly the same. I read via google that I could add the following code into the functions.php theme file but it just shows up blank when I add the specific code. Code:
//Set Homepage
$mobilehome = get_page_by_title( 'mobilehome' );
update_option( 'page_on_front', $mobilehome->ID );
update_option( 'show_on_front', 'page' );
// Set the blog page
$blog = get_page_by_title( 'Blog' );
update_option( 'page_for_posts', $blog->ID );
Update 2, solved.
I found a simple solution. I created a new theme file 'page-home.php' and changed the css class '#primary' to '#primary-home', then went into the style.css file and added all '#primary-home' css attributes to match '#primary', except on the mobile CSS area of the stylesheet, I added "display:none;" to #primary-home. So now it just doesn't display the homepage on mobile devices, all other pages work (whole point in making the new template page and CSS attribute). I know this fix is probably the simple easy fix but it worked for me!

I think that this is as simple as it could get:
Try this plugin - UserAgent Theme Switcher
It will use the user-agent to detect which browser you are on, in this case it could be something like mobile safari or android, etc... then serve the theme based on that.
This could be a hit or miss because you might want or not to change the theme. A more advanced way to do this would be to use a jQuery plugin that checks for the user agent and lets you "do stuff" after you detect it, in this case it could serve as another page or change some CSS.
It's easy and no need to code everything. Install "Redirection" plugin from wordpress repository.
Go to the settings page.
Enter the "Source URL" with your default desktop's homepage
On the "Match" option, select "URL and user agent" & on the "Action" option select "Redirect to URL". Click "Add Redirection".
New configuration option will be appeared. Give any title you want. The "Source URL" must be blank (means that is your base homepage). On the "User Agent" option, choose whether iPhone or Android. On the "Matched" option, set the redirection you want for the mobile homepage.
Done!
You surely can differentiate the homepage on desktop and mobile device based on the redirection you have set before with that plugin. However, you cannot have same url name (ex: www.abcde.com for desktop & www.abcde.com/mobilehomepage for mobile device).
I have a client who is interested in having a text-only view of their website available to visitors with accessibility needs. This would be in addition to the usual, fully themed view.
I like what the Kennedy Center did for text-only view, www.kennedy-center.org/text. I like how it appears to the user as a subdirectory, but I am trying to figure out how to accomplish that in WordPress. Two themes? Subdirectory? Session cookie? Intercepting the URL and loading different stylesheets?
Any suggestions or any built-in capability that anyone can suggest?
Thanks...

A very fast way to go is to set a cookie and a GET variable.
Basic example:
In function.php:
if (isset($_GET['text'])) {
setcookie("is_text", 'true', time()+60*60*24*365*10,"/");
}
In header.php:
if (isset($_COOKIE['is_text'])||isset($_GET['text'])) {
// text CSS stylesheet
} else {
// standard CSS stylesheet
}
So you can switch the view in every page just by adding ?text to your url.
Try to use Theme Switcher plugin.
See here for the demo: http://www.nkuttler.de/wordpress-plugin/theme-switch-and-preview-plugin/
I have already developed my plugin for WordPress and I can manage it from admin. I have passed the access to the plugin file using add_submenu_page. The problem is that the plugin is extending and I want to use another file that is linked from the main file. For example I have second_page.php?id=3. When I try to access this link, I get a
You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
message. I want to "validate" this page also for using with this script and I don't know how. Ideas?
When you add a page with add_submenu_page(), the url should be something like:
wp-admin/admin.php?page=<your_page_handle>
Your page is actually loaded from admin.php (typically). You can add parameters to your links by appending something like &id=3 and then have your main plugin page-loading logic determine which file to include based on the parameter.
For instance
if (isset($_GET['id']) && ((int) $_GET['id']) == 3) {
include 'second_page.php';
} else {
include 'first_page.php';
}
Edit:
I found a trick that may be easier for you, though I haven't thoroughly tested it. Let's say that you have two pages: my_one and my_two. Just call add_submenu_page twice, and set the second page's parent as the first page. This will cause Wordpress to not add a link to the navigation bar, but you can still access your page by navigating to admin.php?page=my_two.
Example:
add_submenu_page(
'my_toplevel_link'
, 'Page Title'
, 'Link Name'
, 'administrator'
, 'my_one' // here's the page handle for page one
, 'my_one_callback'
);
add_submenu_page(
'my_one' // set the parent to your first page and it wont appear
, 'Page Title'
, 'Link Name' // unused
, 'administrator'
, 'my_two'
, 'my_two_callback'
);
Since WP natively supports URLs like wp-admin/admin.php?page=<your_page_handle> you can do sub pages with something like:
wp-admin/admin.php?page=yourpage
wp-admin/admin.php?page=yourpage&sub=2
wp-admin/admin.php?page=yourpage&sub=3
Then in the code that handles wp-admin/admin.php?page=<your_page_handle> you just look at the $_GET and pull up the main page or a sub-page as needed.
I've definitely seen plugins where the admin page has a little row of links across the top linking the various sub-pages.
