Configuring this plugin is relatively simple once you have obtained your keys. There are only 7 options:
- Force HTTPS
- Useful for sites behind a load balancer or using reverse proxy. If your site runs on https, turning this on cannot hurt.
- All Categories
- Enabling this feature will activate the index submission for all articles across all categories. Disabling this feature enables the next configuration option (Select a Category)
- Select a Category (there are several of these, I'm counting them as 1)
- You may select one or more categories to activate automatic index submission.
- Google (Enable/Disable)
- When enabled, you will be able to enter a Google API Key. Indexing with Google requires this to be enabled, and an API key to be present.
- Google API Key
- The process to obtain this key will provide you with a JSON file. Copy the contents of this file into this field. Make no alterations.
- Bing (Enable/Disable)
- When enabled, you will be able to enter a Bing/IndexNow API Key. Indexing with IndexNow requires this to be enabled, and an API key to be present.
- Bing API Key
- This is a normal key, a relatively short alphanumeric string.
- Paste the key you obtained in the instructions below.
