Is the latest version of the plugin compatible with WP 3.5.1?

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Simpler SEO › Requests and Feedback › Is the latest version of the plugin compatible with WP 3.5.1?

  • Victoria 10 years, 1 month ago

    I have a question about Foliovision’s Simple SEO plugin. A new version is up, because it says that it’s compatible up to 3.4.2. I have the new version of WordPress now (3.5.1), and I am wondering whether I should do the upgrade or stay with the same. Are you working to make it compatible with the newest version of WordPress? I do love this plugin, so I hope that it stays current.

    Hi Victoria,

    We are using FV Simpler SEO on 3.5.1 and have even added some nice forced SEO features (shorter URLs, forcing the metadescription) to encourage publishers to work better.

    Thanks,
    Karol

    Hi,

    I have a question: “shorter URLs in the new version of SEO plugin” –what does it mean? Will it force the url to shorten? Right now I like the ability to pick my own url address, something that I absolutely hated in typepad that didn’t allow much leeway.

    Hi Victoria,

    You can override our feature of shortening URLs to the three longest words on an individual post basis. Our experience (we have a large SEO department and take care of hundreds of websites) is that longer URLs rank much worse now.

    Our rule of including the three longest words as the slug is a pretty good one, as a default setting.

    The reason we added default settings like this (including forcing metadescription) is that most authors and publishers are not disciplined enough on their own to do the necessary without prompting.

    By automating more of the SEO, people are far more likely to do the essentials.

    Hi Victoria,

    no, we are not encouraging nothing like that. In WP, when you have very long titles, the permalink that is by default generated is very long, too, which is not good.

    So, with the plugin enabled (and its option in Settings -> FV Simpler SEO -> Advanced Options -> “Shorten Post / Page name”), it shortens the url to the 3 longest words that are in the title.

    That way, if you forget to edit the url, you aren’t left with the long one. However, you are still free to click on the permalink field (as before) and edit it manually.

    I hope you enjoy the plugin.

    All the best,
    Karol

    I’m glad to learn the above, mainly for what it tells me about ongoing development and intelligent defaults. Some time ago I switched from All-in-One to FV, but then I switched to Yoast when it came out. However, the complexity of Yoast is a headache for me and my clients, so i’m going to give FV another shot.
