I have setup google custom search for my site but the resulted pagination it is showing is wrong or buggy. it shows 4 pages in the pagination but when i click on 3rd page the 4th link is gone. Is this a known issue with Google CSE. Has it got any solution
I had this issue too and laughed when I found out this was a "feature" instead of a bug:

Anyway, this should fix it.

I have created a new website www.bucketshowers.com and I tried to index it using google webmaster tools. Fetch as Google for the desktop worked just fine, but doing the same for mobile shows an error "Temporarily unreachbale". It's been a few days and the website REALLY is not avaible on mobile. It's driving me nuts. Here're is some information and things I have already tried:
Website is made with WP
I have disabled all SEO/meta tags plugins and I added a very basic robots.txt http://bucketshowers.com/robots.txt
I tried waiting 15min between fetching the root page on mobile
I have checked source code for the homepage to make sure there are no meta tags with nofollow or noindex attributes
I baffled by this issue and I would gladly take any advise/pointers what else can be done. Thank you.
The crazy thing was, that it was caused by WP Statistics plugin, which is probably the most popular from its kind - 500k downloads. When I deactivated it, everything is fine, google fetches of the mobile and the website is available. Incredible! I'm still searching for the actual problem within that plugin.
I'm trying to learn about google chrome extensions so from this question I went to this tutorial.
I followed the instructions but both the change of the page's color when clicking the button and the options page don't work.
To make sure I didn't missed anything I downloaded the completed extension but I got the same result.
Why does it not change the page's color when I click the button on the popup and when I go to the extension's options the page is blank? Is the tutorial obsolete/has something wrong in the code that wasn't updated? Can it be fixed/how?
The only related questions I have seen seem to be old when the example extension/tutorial was different.
This bug is tracked here: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=827804
It seems that the scripts have some errors.
I have uploaded fixed scripts to the bugtracker.
You can try them.
I Googled one of our sites today (gamestyling.com) and saw that the results where in Chinese. It looks like our site was hacked but I see no traces of that. When opening the site all looks normaal (no Chinese).
On further inspection it seems that Google doesn't see the website correctly:
I cannot verify in Google search console. When I use the meta tag it shows me it detected a completely different tag.
When running pagespeed insight the preview does show Chinese: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=gamestyling.com
Also, when running the site through a proxy it looks completely normal.
Any idea how I can get Google to see my site correctly or what is causing this issue?
UPDATE
I now have access to Google search console and found that someone already had access to the property (2nd user):
I cannot remove the user because it uses a meta tag that google thinks is still in the header but doesn't appear in my code. So I'm still not sure if someone is playing tricks on Google or that we've been actually hacked. Note; nothing has changed on the server itself.
UPDATE2
This article describes exactly what's going on; https://blog.sucuri.net/2015/09/malicious-google-search-console-verifications.html. I must say that's an amazing safety fault on Google's part...
I had experienced this issue on one of the site and resubmitted website for review in google webmasters. Search results in google were corrected in couple of days.
Since about a week ago, I haven't been able to search for elements or the contents of an element in Google Chrome DevTools. Did the latest Chrome update break this functionality or has something else changed that I should be aware of?
I first thought I had accidentally changed some of the DevTools settings, but now the same thing started happening on my other dev machine as well, so I think it must be a bug in the latest update?
Is it just me? :)
EDIT: After a few days of wondering what could be possible causing this.. it just started working again after I restarted my Win 7 machine. The simplest fix the best fix, huh?
On another note, if the error starts happening again, I'll need to dig deeper as what might cause it and file a bug if necessary.
For now, it works and I'm happy :)
No results in DevTools element search. Here is a screenshot:
I solved that by disabling "Adblock Plus", it worked in 3 browsers I tried.
This is a legit bug. Thanks for reporting it. It's being tracked here: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=426815
As of November, it's been fixed in tip of tree (Canary) and has been merged to the beta branch (39).
(Originally answered by vsevik, an engineer who develops the DevTools, however the post was deleted by moderators.) :/
I had the same issue, search wasn't working, because I couldn't see the page. When I clicked on the page, under the Sources tab, I got a blank page. What worked for me was refreshing the page in Chrome. After that, the code showed up in Developer Tools, and I was able to search the code. This seems to be a Chrome bug.
I have problem that me (I'm in Europe) and my college (he is Europe) are getting different results for a search a Google query even though we use the following:
we added &pws=0 to query
we use browser in incognito mode.
Is there any way to turn off personalization completely?
It may be personalizing based on your location. You can get around this by going through a proxy (dreaded and unacceptable answer, I know). Google doesn't provide an easy option to disable it.
Try these Yoast plugins:

Or this Chrome extension:

Google allows you to set your search area as large as a country. By default, I set mine for the United States to remove any local bias that creeps into my results.
try go to the preference page and see if you and your colleague have different settings.

You may try using a different browser to get an "unpersonalized" search. There are some browsers that already claim to do this, but I haven't tested them myself...
There may be the problem of the search not being as complete as Google can 'sometimes' be. Google is most famous for it's search engine because of how it worked differently from other engines at the time it came out. This may be more or less the same now, or other companies may have caught up - I'm not sure.
One such engine goes by the ridiculous name "DuckDuckGo." It is the first result to show up "for me" when searching "unfiltered web search engines".
Other than that, you may try contacting Google representatives to get answers more directly.
