I would highly recommend that you enable Google Structured Data (GSD) in the "SEO" tab of K2's Settings. This will allow Google to crawl your site more efficiently as K2 will output a new JSON object with structured details from your item. See the some item from the JoomlaWorks or K2 blog for example and switch to source view.

What Google does now is display content from the body. As far as I know, Google no longer gives much attention to the meta tags.

After you enable GSD, use this tool to verify your pages: search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/

I would also recommend you add your site to the Google Search Console (formerly Webmaster Tools): search.google.com/search-console

I will show you a very small example.
I have countless to show you from dozens of sites with k2
I will be really grateful if you can solve this problem for me

I have an article
for example
adapokrites.gr/xronomixani-2/polynekres-enoples-epitheseis-ipa

if I copy copy the title in google it should logically take me to the first page with the url of the article

adapokrites.gr/kosmos/eidiseis/nea/%CE%95%CE%A0%CE%99%CE%98%CE%95%CE%A3%CE%95%CE%99%CE%A3

but it takes me to the third page with the specific result

and we're talking about a site with 50,000 articles and 5,000 tags

Do you understand how many thousands of voids url has been detected by Google and ranked me accordingly

You're welcome.

Works well, thanks a lot. www.famemmanews.co.uk/fame-mma-poland/fame-mma-6-took-place-in-poland-amid-the-coronavirus-fears

If you need to place the embed inside your content (in-between text), you can use a plugin like Sourcerer (from www.regularlabs.com/extensions/sourcerer). Otherwise you can just place the Instagram embed in the Media tab (in the K2 item form).

Is it possible to put a instagram post feed straight into the text (item )? Like in my screenshot.

No, in k2 config there is options for use relative URL or absolute, and if i chose absolute, this brake the url in the canonical link on tags pages
I tryied it also with new install on new and fresh joomla with 0 plugin and components only k2 and you can see it
site.ijoomla.co.il/joomla/tag-test.html

On Item and category pages the canonical link work perfect, only the tags pages this bug occur.

If you want you can access the admin:

site.ijoomla.co.il/joomla/administrator
user: [redacted]
password: [redacted]

Changing the <title> can only be done when you link K2 content to some menu item. You can't have a different title out-of-the-box for content that is not linked to menu items.

On the other hand, if you want such control, it's pretty easy to make your own field (through K2's extra fields) and have that field replace the default <title> tag with your own.

E.g., at the very top of item.php and after the "defined('_JEXEC') or die;" line add this:
Make sure the change is done in an override for item.php inside your template (more info here: getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates)

There are no plans to add a description for tags (but I'm sure there's a plugin for that). In K2, we must say no to some features. If we add everything imaginable as an option, K2 will just become an options monster. The fact that Joomla does it, doesn't mean it's right. If things were right in core content management in Joomla, we wouldn't have made K2 in the first place... ;)

Hi,

When i use the character &(Ampersand) in the tag name like: "test1&test2", the link for that tag page lead to 404.
At start, i was thinking that the problem is in the SEF, but after i disable all SEF url and stay with the regular url and all it's parameters, the tag parameter has the &(Ampersand) in the url, and this kind of url lead to 404
ie: tag=test1&test2

And i try it also with sh404 to try maybe this component will get over the problem, but unfortunately still lead to 404 with problem on the url parameters

I try it on the new K2 v2.10.2 & v2.10.3 And on k2 v2.10.0 and older

Thanks

site.ijoomla.co.il/urbanbridesmag/tag/mood.html

I'm using sh404 but after i cancel it and stay only with joomla SEF, the problem still occur.
When I'm changing in the k2 config to "Use relative URL path", this fix the problem, but i need to use "Use absolute URL path" for my site and with this configuration the problem occur.

Let me know if you need more details to investigate this problem
Thanks

Check the K2 and demo sites too for tag listing examples:

getk2.org/show/tag/tabs
demo.getk2.org/show/tag/blog

Both work as expected.

Perhaps some third-party plugin is messing up with K2's canonical tag.

Not really, sorry.

hello,

unfortunately these extenstions are for "filters" and not for "tags" I am looking for. Do you have something for tags?

Thank you.

I'm using JSN Vintage as my template, and I know it's an elderly thing, but it has served me well.
Since I tried to update to K2 V 10, I have the following issue: I see an extra '<' character on every page that runs a K2 item. Looking at the source code I see the following just before the closing head tag:
<style type="text/css">

/* K2 - Magnific Popup Overrides */
.mfp-iframe-holder {padding:10px;}
.mfp-iframe-holder .mfp-content {max-width:100%;width:100%;height:100%;}
.mfp-iframe-scaler iframe {background:#fff;padding:10px;box-sizing:border-box;box-shadow:none;}

.........

}
div.jsn-modulecontainer ul.menu-sidemenu ul ul {
margin-left: 200px;
}
</style>
>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=2.0" />
</head>

Going back to K2 V 9 I do not have issues. What's going wrong?

These extensions may not cover your needs 100%, but they will get you at a logical 90% without too much hassle.

ok, I understand.

can you suggest me a third-part extensions for this case? I will find them into the K2 filter that you suggest me in previous reply?

Thank you.

In any case, what you ask is not possible with what K2 provides by default. It requires that you either use a third-party extension or something custom made.

Hello and thank you for your reply,

actually in not a filter with the meaning of filter. It is a "tag" that get and show only items with certain tags. It is really too difficult to explain it to you. The module I currently use to have this layout is the "RokSprocket" (k2 provider // Mosaic Layout). The problem there is that the tags can't have links and I can't display a number of items coming from the K2 component and show them in another page in the website. I must double the module to do that with the "RokSprocket". I can send you the website as PM if you would like in order to see exactly what I mean.

Thank you.

Great :)
