Overview

The Bing URL Submission Plugin for WordPress is designed to streamline and automate the process of submitting WordPress site URLs to the Bing search index. By simply installing the plugin and configuring it with an API key from the Bing Webmaster portal, it automatically detects any creation or update of pages on your WordPress site and submits the corresponding URLs to Bing, ensuring that your site content remains up-to-date in the search index. Additional features include the ability to toggle automatic submissions, manually submit URLs, view and retry failed submissions, and download recent URL submissions for further analysis. Note that this plugin does not support the WordPress multisite feature. Developed by the Bing Webmaster team, the plugin aims to enhance your site's visibility on Bing's search engine with minimal effort.

The WordPress plugin garners mixed reviews. Users appreciate that it automates URL submissions to Bing, saving time on manual entries and aiding in faster indexing of new content, which is particularly useful for sites with frequent updates. It eliminates the need to code, making the process user-friendly. Some users have also noted its efficiency when it works correctly, integrating well with Bing Webmaster Tools for a potent SEO combination. However, multiple drawbacks are mentioned. Key issues include the plugin inadvertently sending scheduled posts, causing SEO issues, and failing to recognize the Bing API key, forcing manual interventions. Compatibility issues, critical errors with other plugins (like AMP), and extensive de-indexing of sites from Bing's search results are also major concerns. Users also report insufficient support and feedback on the plugin's performance, with some calling for quality of life improvements and better control mechanisms.

Great plugin and does what is needed. The only issue is it sends posts that are scheduled as well so ?p= URLs so creating a bit of an SEO issue with that URL indexing and when it does turn to publishing as proper permalink.

It’s been a few months since the website has registered with Bing Webmaster Tools and has submitted a sitemap but is not indexed. I hope by using this plugin the website will be indexed later, but it turns out to be the same. It’s easy to use but unfortunately doesn’t work well.

I followed the instruction 3 times but the process just failed: the API key generated from the ‘Bing Webmaster Tools’ page is not recognized. I had to do this manually by copying the XML file to the root of my website directory. Plugins for Google do much better! This topic was modified 2 years, 1 month ago by charlybu.

I am one of several people whose website was removed from Bing SERP after adding this plug in. Although my website meets all the guidelines / requirements of BING and I had zero technical issues and was passing all tests, I was initially told by BING help center (after weeks of waiting) that the site wasn’t meeting requirements, which I knew was unlikely. So when I pushed the issue, it was escalated and my site was indexed again. However, a few weeks later my site was once again de-indexed. This time I removed the plugin then contacted Bing again and had to wait months (something about you can’t submit another request within a month of another??) for the issue to be once again resolved. Which it eventually was and, because I no longer use the plugin, this time I have remained on the index (but after months off, I’ve lost my good rankings). I gave two stars to the plug in rather than one because the support team did try!
