[Plugin: All in One SEO Pack] Plugin not working with WordPress 2.7.1

I have All-in-One 1.4.7 installed and activated. It worked fine with wordpress 2.7, but when I upgraded to wordpress 2.7.1, none of the meta or title tags are getting overwritten. They all stay the same as the header.php. If I take the title and meta tags out of the header.php code, then nothing is in the title bar and no meta tags are written.

WP version 2.7.1 working fine with All in One SEO Pack Version: 1.4.7. It did not work out of the box. After reading the FAQ on the developers site, adding the below code before the </head> tag may fix the display issue. In my case it worked fine after the additional code.

<?php wp_head(); ?>

I have been upgrading most of my sites and some of the sites that had ‘All In One SEO’ seem to be alright while others are not showing up in the plugin directory, even though when I look at the directory in my FTP client it shows that the plugin is there, but it is’nt showing up in my directory in my admin. Most frustrating! ??

I have downloaded a fresh copy of the plugin and uploaded it into some of the sites, that did have it, but aren’t showing it now, but it still won’t show.

This didn’t work on a new installation I just did on https://scoliosisbrace.org. That code is already above my </head> tag. Any ideas?

yes i have the same problem and it works fine now with the <?php wp_head(); ?>

Should I have an admin menu to change settings for this plug-in like Akismet or does it do everything itself?

Never mind, I just answered my own question. It is under settings, not plug-ins.

I’ve contacted their support. It still doesn’t work.

@earthoria Fill out my contact form and I’ll take a look at your issue.

@mmmmrgrif Tags aren’t overwritten, they’re just written. Make sure they aren’t already in your header.php, and add <?php wp_head(); ?> to your header.php

@benblustey The plugin does work “out of the box”. wp_head() is a function that should be in every theme. Many plugins use it, including All in One SEO Pack. Your theme developer needs to learn to use the WordPress theme API appropriately.

@vivie Fill out my contact form and I’ll take a look at your issue.

@lukemccoy As I discussed with you when you filled out my contact form, you mistakenly thought that this plugin rewrites your URLs. I pointed you to the documentation on permalinks as this issue has nothing to do with this plugin or any other plugin.

Thank you for your response. I have repeatedly tried what you said to do and for some reason it does not work. It worked fine until I upgraded WordPress to 2.7.1 I have downloaded the new version of All in one SEO this behavior did not change. I added the ‘<?php wp_head(); ?>’ to the code in header.php just before the ‘</head>’. When I take the tags out of the header code, all I get in the title bar is “Mozilla Firefox.” I am confounded by this problem. If you have any more suggestions, I would appreciate your help.

Thank you!

I am having the same issue as mmmmrgrif. It seems as though there is no code to call the Title and Description tags. I am not sure how the plugin really works, but in my instance, there is nothing in the header that would bring that information in.

@johndrobbins The code is in the plugin. Just add <?php wp_head(); ?> to your header.php. This should already be in there, but this plugin and many others won’t work without it.

Thanks for checking this thread HallsofMontezuma!

I have it installed at https://makelightreal.com

It seems to be running but the SEO ‘bar’ under the post editor doesn’t show up anymore….where should I look to troubleshoot?

@hallsofmontezuma I had double checked that based on above recommendations, but the “Page Name” is still being displayed as the title (let alone having accurate description tags). Do I need to eliminate the <title> and <description> tags in the header for the plug-in to work? BTW, I have tried this already and then had no page title or description displayed. It seems as though the plug-in just will not take the precedence over the hard coded <title> and <description>.

I have two 2.7.1 installations that do not pull in the title, description, and keyword information just as johndrobbins and mmmmrgrif are experiencing. The call the head function is right before the </head> tag, and it doesn’t work in the default theme either.

Que paso??

Please help!

Thanks for great plugin – if I can get the mofo to work. =D
