Add Custom Titles for Tags and Categories in WordPress

Posted on December 30, 2009

The Best WordPress SEO Plugin? A combination of two.

All in One SEO Pack (AIOSEO) is the leader in WordPress SEO plugins. It offers great functionality and simple integration into the process of writing a post. AIOSEO is not a perfect plugin, however, because it lacks some very important functionality:

  • Custom category title tags
  • Custom tag title tags
  • Mass editing of page, post, tag and category title tags/slugs

The plugin that has all of the features above (but lacks AIOSEO features) is SEO Title Tag, an imperfect but elegant solution to the list above.  This article shows how to use both plugins and have them combine forces to create a powerful solution for getting custom titles on all your site’s pages.  Read more…

Add Canonical Tags to Shopp Plugin for SEO

Posted on October 21, 2009
Shopp Plugin SEO

I am building a store using the Shopp plugin, and I noticed that there are possibilities for duplicate content issues:

  • A product can be accessed both by /shop/{productID} and /shop/{product-slug}
  • A tag can be accessed using /shop/?shopp_tag={tag-uri} and /shop/tag/{tag-slug}
  • A tag can be accessed using /shop/?shopp_category={category-id} and /shop/{category-uri}

Should Google somehow find it’s way into indexing these pages, the value of the identical indexed pages may drop.  Canonical tags aim to remedy this situation, and are implemented by the hugely popular and awesome All in One SEO Pack plugin (see my other SEO tips regarding AIOSEO Pack plugin).

The Shopp plugin does not feature canonical tag support, so here’s a modification you can make that will add support for it without changing any core files in All in One SEO Pack, or in Shopp.  Read more…

Add Custom Taxonomy Title Tags Support to All-In-One SEO Pack

Posted on August 23, 2009

Get control over your custom taxonomy’s Title Tag

With Yoast’s Simple Taxonomies plugin, you can set up a custom categorization system for posts on your site known as a custom taxonomy. When trying to optimize these pages, I realized that the All in One SEO Pack plugin doesn’t have support for custom taxonomies, so it will not format the title properly. I’ve slapped together some code to improve the formatting of the title tag. See this code in action.  Read more…

Remove shortcode from All in One SEO Pack in WordPress 2.6

Posted on July 18, 2008

Starting in WordPress 2.6, they’ve added captions to images that are automatically generated and use the Shortcode API to make it happen.  One side effect is that All in One SEO Pack isn’t set up to strip the caption from the automatically generated META tags, so you may end up with in your description.

Thanks to a WordPress Trac entry, I got the right regular expression to strip all shortcode in All in One plugin.  Read more…
