Bing URL Submissions Plugin

Bing URL Submission Plugin for WordPress enables WordPress site owners to instantly and automatically submit their new and updated pages to the Bing index. Once setup, the plugin detects any page creation or update in WordPress and automatically submits the URL behind the scenes ensuring that the site content is always fresh in Bing index.

Some other handy features included in the plugin:

Toggle automatic submission feature on or off.
Manually submit a site URL to Bing Index.
View list of recent URLs submitted by the plugin.
Retry any failed submissions from recent submission history.
Download recent submissions list.

This plugin was developed with love and coffee by the Bing Webmaster team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I install Bing URL Submission Plugin?

Bing Webmaster enables quick indexing of your site URLs via the Submit URL API. Bing URL Submissions Plugin automates the submissions of your site URLs to this API by automatically submitting URLs for any page updated/created from WordPress.

Where do I find the API key?

To automate Bing URL submissions using the Bing URL Submission Plugin, you need to have your WordPress site registered with Bing Webmaster. Once your site is verified at Bing Webmaster, you can access your API key by navigating to Settings > API Access > API Key within Bing Webmaster portal.

I got an error "Adding API key failed: Invalid API Key" when I'm trying to log in to the plugin dashboard using API key. What do I do?

"Invalid URL" error indicates that your API key is invalid for the WordPress site you're trying to configure the plugin against. Please verify that your WordPress site is added and verified against your Webmaster account.

"Automatic URL Submission" and "Manual URL Submission" cards are greyed out in plugin dashboard. How do I fix this?

Automatic and manual URL submission cards are disabled if your API key is detected as invalid for submitting URLs against this WordPress site. Please ensure that your site is verified in your Bing Webmaster account and update the plugin with your new API key using 'Update key' option in the API key card.

I got an error "Invalid API key : Update API key to enable Automatic & Manual URL submission.". What do I do?

See answer to "Automatic URL Submission" and "Manual URL Submission" cards are greyed out in plugin dashboard. How do I fix this? above.

How can I reset the plugin and delete any stored data from my WordPress database?

You can go to 'Plugins' page from your WordPress side menu and click on Deactivate under Bing URL Submissions plugin listing. This will remove the API key integration as well as any locally stored data about submitted URLs. Reactivating the plugin will present you with a clean slate and ask for API key input.

bing-wordpress-url-submission-plugin's Issues

When the site is verified in Webmaster tools from Google Search Console, the api key obtained from that site is not valid in the plugin.

I added a website to webmaster tools by importing it from Google Search Console and obtained the API Key for the same, however when I try to add the api key to the plugin on my wordpress site, it errors with the below message.

"Adding API key failed: Site Not Registered/Verified In Bing Webmaster"

Two missing features

Wrong project. Sorry.

Can not submit API key

Hello, please can you help me to solve this one? When I submit the API key and hit the "Start using plugin" button nothing happens and I get the error in console: Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined at StartPage.tsx:21

Thank you very much in advance

Submits non-public URLs

A plugin I use uses a custom post type to save data. When the post is created Bing URL Submissions Plugin sends the URL of that post to Bing to be indexed. The URL returns 404 to the public.

Please test the URLs before submission with ~ wp_remote_head().

Otherwise the submission API quota is wasted.

I think this solves the ticket raised at: Random URL being submitted to Bing.

PHP Fatal Error: Uncaught Error: Can only throw objects

Uncaught Error: Can only throw objects

This line is using throw with a string, and that's not valid in PHP.

Conflict with EDD

When trying to update a file I get this error in Easy Digital Downloads. You need to try/catch this so you don't break websites.

Please Update this plugin

More issue and please improvement ui/ux this plugin. like google site kit

Submitting shortlink along with permalinks

Plugin is currently submitting shortlink also along with post with permalinks as listed below:

This is resulting in 404 error for shortlinks.

In case of only 10 submission allowed via plugin, its better to not submit shortlinks.

SVN structure of this plugin incorrect

I use WPackagist to managed our site's wordpress plugins via composer. I'd like to do the same with this plugin, but it looks like something is incorrect in SVN. Specifically, it might have an extra folder in the hierarchy that shouldn't be there.

all URLs disappear from Bing search after using this plugin

I checked the support forums on WordPress.org and we are not the only ones experiencing this issue.

WordPress database error

Hey,

Some recent database errors that reference the plugin:

"WSAL" is WP Activity Log.

This seems to be only on plugin deactivation/activation. If you need more data I can edit wpdb::print_error() and add a backtrace.

Updating to the latest version 1.0.11 causes critical error that breaks dashboard if WP Core is < 5.7

There is a call to an undefined function (is_post_publicly_viewable()) for WP installs that are < 5.7. This causes the entire dashboard to break. I am guessing this needs to wrapped in a is_defined check or something similar to prevent this from crashing sites.
