Bulk meta edition and image resizing

Editing meta information on an existing website can be veeeery long, open each post, edit, close it, open again and almost nobody was doing it. Especially if you need to edit content + image meta.
WP Meta SEO is going to list all posts, pages, custom post types and all images. Type your meta content and fix image size and everything is AJAX saved.
Plus, a bulk copy feature is available to save tons of time in your SEO optimization process:

  • Content title to All meta titles (optional meta keywords)
  • Image name to Image title
  • Image name to Image alt
  • Optional keyword edition

A bunch of people reduce the size of the pictures in content using handles that results to a HTML resizing. And that’s something wrong for SEO, for page loading time and for image quality.
WP Meta SEO also include this feature in the bulk edition view, you are notified and you can now optimize the size of your images in articles, click fix and it’s replaced in your content (no broken links).

Will the image rename bulk feature generate broken links?

Not at all, it would have been bad for SEO 🙂 the image name is dynamically replaced in all your content.

If I edit image title and alt text, will that information be loaded each time my image is in a content?

There’s an SEO option for that 🙂 WP Meta SEO will detect that the image has missing information and once edit it, you will have a list of all the image instance and where it’s loaded.
So you’ll be able to define SEO info for each instance.

Is WP Meta SEO slowing down my website?

Nope 🙂 All your SEO content is properly stored in the database and automatic SEO checks are also cached or run every 72 hours (unless you force the process)

Is WP Meta SEO compatible with 3rd party plugins?

YES it is 🙂 All plugins and themes that are using custom post type are compatible and you’ll be able to setup SEO for those content. Plus, Yoast SEO and All in one SEO content can also be imported.

Is WP Meta SEO fixing 404 errors?

Yes, using a redirect manager tool. WP Meta SEO will index all the 404 you have in your content (internal broken links).

Can I translate WP Meta SEO?

You’re welcome! in the WP Meta SEO package you got English and French included as standard .po/.mo files. Use the .pot file also available in the /language folder to create your own.
You can contact us if you want it to be included in the WP Meta SEO package.

How can I setup the Googlee Analytics to get statistics?

First create an account on Google analytics associated to your domain. Then from the plugin connect your website with your analytics account by copy/pasting a token code.

Compatibility

What’s the minimum version of WordPress required to run WP Meta SEO? WordPress 4.0 is required. WP Meta SEO may generate PHP errors if you tried to run it on an earlier version, and so it will simply refuse to activate on any version of WordPress that’s older than 4.0

Where in WordPress does WP Meta SEO plugin should be displayed?

In the admin of WordPress, on the left menu named WP Meta SEO and its sub menu for SEO tools

How do I uninstall WP Meta SEO?

Which browsers work best with the WP Meta SEO administration interface?

WP Meta SEO is using HTML5 features so to be sure run the latest version of Chrome / Firefox / Safari or IE9+

Can I help with WP Meta SEO translation?

Yes! you can contact us on our forum. SEO as its own language and expression, we would be happy to add yours.

Why including meta keywords edition as it’s not a SEO rank criteria?

Because it may helps in some case for SEO, mainly for multilingual website, it help search engines to validate the page language. Some automatic SEO tool may use it too.

Some criteria of the SEO on page analysis does not fit my content

Yes, it may be the case when, for example, you are calling 3rd party plugins in content or using specific page layouts. You have a global option to force validation of SEO criteria.
This manual SEO validation on click on the reload analysis button.

How do I submit my sitemap to the Google Search Console?

From the Sitemap section of the plugin, you got a link to the XML sitemap page. Just copy/paste the link in the Google search console.
You can also use the link: www.your-website.com/sitemap.xml after checking the option to copy the sitemap to the WordPress install root.

Is there a real interest for SEO to display a HTML sitemap?

It could be! if you have a lot of pages that need to be indexed with no specific priority. Our advice is to keep only the main menus of your website in the HTML sitemap.

Reviews

Be careful to your PHP version

My site was blown up by the last update too. I fully uninstalled the plugin, and tried to install it again from scratch. A fatal error occurs, here it is:

“L’extension n’a pas pu être activée, car elle a déclenché une erreur fatale.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/xxxxxxxx/www/wp-content/plugins/wp-meta-seo/wp-meta-seo.php on line 65

Of course, I need to uninstall it again, and of course I will immediately use another plugin, whatever your bad reasons can be.

Regards

BLEW UP MY SITE

Was using this for a long time on all my WordPress sites but this new update was never tested. IT WILL BLOW UP YOUR SITE.

To fix this:
1. FTP into your site and delete the plugin folder.
2. Your site will load but you will see an error on your dashboard.
3. Reinstall the plugin BUT DO NOT ACTIVATE IT!
4. Then use WP to delete the reinstalled plugin. Then you are OK.

After this horrible experience, I decided simple is best. I installed Easy WP Meta Description. It is so simple, it just works.

Seriously slows down my website

It works but when this plugin is activated it slows my site down drastically. Page loads take between 30/300 seconds longer to load. Updating a page or post causes the site to be disconnected.
