Perfect π β you want to use the custom backlink indexing tool code I gave you inside your WordPress site.
Hereβs a simple step-by-step guide to make it work β even if youβve never built a plugin before.
π§© Step-by-Step: How to Use the Code
πͺ Step 1: Access Your WordPress Files
You have 3 ways to do this:
Option A: Use your web hosting file manager (e.g., Hostinger, cPanel, etc.)
Option B: Use FTP/SFTP with FileZilla
Option C: If using LocalWP or similar, open your local WordPress folder.
πͺ Step 2: Go to the Plugins Directory
Inside it, youβll see folders like akismet, hello.php, etc.
πͺ Step 3: Create a New Folder for the Tool
Create a new folder named:
πͺ Step 4: Create Two Files Inside It
Inside that folder, create:
backlink-indexer.php
functions.php
πͺ Step 5: Add the Code
π backlink-indexer.php
/*
Plugin Name: Backlink Indexer Tool
Description: A simple tool to submit URLs to ping services for faster indexing.
Version: 1.0
Author: Your Name
πͺ Step 6: Activate the Plugin
Go to your WordPress Dashboard
Click Plugins β Installed Plugins
Find Backlink Indexer Tool
Click Activate
πͺ Step 7: Add the Shortcode to a Page
Create a new page (Pages β Add New)
Title it: Backlink Indexing Tool
In the content editor, paste this shortcode:
[backlink_indexer]
Click Publish
Visit the page β youβll now see a simple form!
πͺ Step 8: Test It
Enter 1β5 URLs (one per line)
Click Submit URLs
Youβll see confirmation messages like:
βPing sent for: https://example.com/page1β
β Done! You now have a working Backlink Indexer Tool inside WordPress.
π‘ Bonus Tips
To style the form, add CSS inside your themeβs Additional CSS area.
You can replace pingomatic.com with other ping or indexing APIs for faster results.
For Google Indexing API (for valid page types), you can extend this with API keys.
Would you like me to upgrade this code to include:
better design (styled form), and
optional Google Indexing API integration
so it looks like a real SEO tool page (similar to βInstantLinkIndexerβ)?
