 June 22, 2008 481 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 Rajesh,

    I upgraded to WP 2.85 (from 2.71)and Platinum SEO 1.3 but unfortunately the plugin has stopped working, e.g. title tags not rewritten. Has anyone else had this experience?

    Thank you so much for sharing this new plug in I love it! I am FREE to help multiple NPO’s / companies needing it – in this economy – for a fraction of the cost a traditional VP would be compensated. Please see the University Masters Program PDF for my level of online business dev, sales, marketing experience!

    Can we set this up for my 2 websites below for my name and other keywords needed? Let me know ok Rajesh as I am teaching many US companies / NPOrgs how to use this SEO Blog tech for their own improved results. But I need to show them it works for Steve Rene / ParentsWhoCare based on the themes.

    Thank you again,
    Steve

    To the person above who said it has stopped working, upgrade the plugin.. and re-enable it again it will then work again ! Good luck

    @battlefield 3

    Thanks, but I upgraded to 1.3.1 and the plug-in works but does not change the title. As it does change the title using a different template, and using the same Studiopress Lifestyle template that I’m currently using with WP 2.7.1, I reckon that the template combined with the new 2.8.5 somehow is rendering the title unchangeable. The title part of the template code is:
    [code]

    [/code]
    and this has been the same for a while.

    I’ll put in a query to Brian at Studiopress and see what he says.

    OK, try this:

    <title>
    <?php wp_title(”); ?>
    <?php if(wp_title(”, false)) { echo ‘ : ‘; } ?>
    <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?>
    <end title>

    Make sure that you don’t copy paste the above code give by Tony as the single quotes may create problems if you copy paste.Rather recreate (type) the above code to replace the the title tag in header.php of your wordpress theme.

  10. Tony said:

    Sorry, Raj, misunderstanding. The code I posted was the code missing from my previous post (obviously I changed the brackets to square so it would not be stripped) that is currently in my Studiopress template, not a suggestion. I thought that the above code might be causing the problem. You mention the single quotes, might this be causing a problem with PSP?
