 June 22, 2008 480 Comments

Platinum SEO Plugin is the ultimate wordpress SEO solution.Platinum SEO Plugin offers all the features of All in One SEO plugin plus more. Uberdose, built the world’s most popular wordpress plugin “All in One SEO“. I too liked his plugin but was looking for more options in it.I developed Platinum SEO plugin for my own blogs.But now that Uberdose no longer supports All in One SEO, I decided to release this plugin to benefit wordpress community.I know that someone else has taken over the support and maintenance of All in One SEO.But I wanted Platinum SEO plugin to not only automate SEO for wordpress blogs, but also provide an ultimate onsite SEO (search engine optimization) solution for wordpress blogs.I find many wordpress users asking for explanations of the various options. I have already made a comprehensive explanation post on it.You will have to read this post on smart Wordpress SEO options for smart benefits.

If you are already using All In One SEO Pack, this plugin will automatically import all the settings, that you have defined using All in one SEO plugin.You just need to verify the options, through Setting->Platinum SEO page of your wordpress blog.Platinum SEO Pack is also compatible with earlier versions of wordpress, though I recommend you to upgrade to the latest version of wordpress.

I would request other language users to help me make this plugin multilingual.It is not very difficult, to make this multilingual .

    Hi, i updated to 1.2.4 yesterday and after that has problem with my tags. I use rewrite title function and my tags are broken. Some encoding problem, i use Bulgarian language (Cyrillic alphabet), charset UTF-8, but on every one word in my tags, every first letter is with wrong coding. In source code it look like � and browsers shows it like square. With early version it worked fine. Now i cannot use rewrite title function :(

    I see you using All in one SEO plugin. Unless you give me examples, it is difficult for me to see what is happening…

    Hello,

    I discovered a minor “bug”. If you use the global translator plugin with platinum seo and you have the canonical url option activated, the translated page will have its canonical url set to the original page which is preventing google from indexing it.

    For instance, if you have domain/toto/ then translated it is domain/en/toto/ and the canonical is domain/toto for both while it should be domain/en/toto/ for the translated.

    I am not sure if there is anything you can do with that…

    Cheers!

    Olivier

    I may not be able to help this. That plugin’s author should provide some sort of a filter for it to be handled. URLs for translated pages are generated by translator plugins through hacking the original permalink.Unless specific filters are provided by those plugins, it cannot be handled.

    Do you have plans to add defineable security features to this plugin? That is, only certain roles are only allowed to edit/change seo tags for a post or page? I plan to do this myself, but don’t want to duplicate it if you are working on it.
