About Baidu Ping Booster
From the official readme · v2.1.0Description
Baidu Ping Booster is a free WordPress toolkit for site owners who want to help Baidu discover public website URLs and manage Baidu-focused technical SEO settings from WordPress.
Version 2.1.0 adds Baidu API Push support, a submission queue, activity logging, dashboard statistics, crawler diagnostics, improved sitemap controls, WooCommerce/custom post type support, and a refreshed PingBooster resources page.
Baidu URL submission can help Baidu discover URLs faster, but submission does not guarantee crawling, indexing, ranking, or traffic.

Frequently asked questions
Is Baidu Ping Booster free?
Yes. Baidu Ping Booster is a free plugin. There is no paid Baidu Ping Booster tier required to use the features included in this release.
Does URL submission guarantee Baidu indexing?
No. URL submission helps notify Baidu about public URLs, but crawling, indexing, ranking, and search visibility are controlled by Baidu and depend on many factors including accessibility and content quality.
Where do I get the Baidu API token?
Verify your website in the Baidu Search Resource Platform, then use the resource/URL submission area for that verified site to obtain the API submission site and token.
Does it support WooCommerce products?
Yes. If WooCommerce is active, products can be selected for automatic submission and included in the Baidu sitemap.
Can it submit custom post types?
Yes. Public custom post types appear in the Submission settings and can be selected for automatic queueing.
What happens if WP-Cron is disabled?
Manual submission still works. Background queue processing requires WP-Cron or a server cron setup that triggers WordPress cron events.
Can I use it with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or another SEO plugin?
Yes. Baidu Ping Booster focuses on Baidu submission and Baidu-specific tools. If another SEO plugin already outputs meta descriptions and canonical URLs, you can disable Baidu Ping Booster’s optional SEO fields to avoid duplicate meta output.
What is the PingBooster tab?
It provides links to PingBooster company news, SEO/GEO services, web development, plugin development, service packages, and related WordPress plugins. These references do not lock Baidu Ping Booster features.
