All in One SEO Pack doesn’t appear in screen options after update

Hi Jack,

We’ve got a blog post addressing this issue here: https://semperplugins.com/missing-all-in-one-seo-pack-2-6-post-and-page-meta/

Dear Michael,

I see you removed my comment made a general “fix” page and marked this as solved.

However I’m afraid this problem still exists for many people.

I’ve switched back to version 2.5 to fix things, if I look in my settings screen I see that “SEO for custom post types” I see that this option is set to OFF so the “SEO only on these post types” is not shown so there is no way of knowing that I have an issue.

But even if I want to use it on ALL post types, it would make to check anything when description read “SEO only on these post types”, the word only applies that you only want to vink things if you want restrictions to apply.

Let’s look at it this why:

Do you really think that anybody having All In One SEO installed wants no SEO functionality on any page/post after a minor update ?

Thanks Michael!

You’re very welcome!

I definitely did not remove your comment.
This is the only one I see from you: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/tag-etc-options-gone-after-the-last-update/#post-10323119

We appreciate your feedback and perspective. The best thing to do would be to open a Github issue for discussion. https://github.com/semperfiwebdesign/all-in-one-seo-pack/issues/new/choose

This problem still exists. I did go in and Enabled the custom post types (shouldn’t have had to since the WP plugin worked prior to update).

I also followed your link @hallsofmontezuma to Github to submit a commment about the SEO pack not working but it 404d.

Do we have a general idea of when this will be fixed? It’s not a minor issue either – this is major.

Furthermore to your post.

“Previously, we had a somewhat minor bug where if you had SEO on only these post types all unchecked, the meta entry fields would still show up.

In version 2.6, we fixed this issue.

That means for some users who inadvertently had all these checkboxes unchecked and didn’t know it, updating gives the appearance of your SEO meta entry fields disappearing. ”

How is having the meta info there a problem? You created the problem by fixing something that wasn’t broken in the first place. To get rid of the meta info, the user simply needed to hide the box or remove the selection from screen options. Simple and efficient.

Probably you need to be signed in would be my guess.

That is correct and an unfortunate consequence of fixing the bug. We have a blog post about it here: https://semperplugins.com/missing-all-in-one-seo-pack-2-6-post-and-page-meta/

Maybe you didn’t read the part in my message where I said I did try to enable.

“Simply go to wp-admin->All in One SEO Pack->General Settings and scroll down to SEO for Custom Post Types and enable this setting then check the boxes you’d like under SEO on only these post types (Posts and pages are checked by default on new installs.)”

I did enable custom post types of pages and posts. The meta info didn’t return on the page. I also checked the screen options and it wasn’t listed there either.

This is most certainly not fixed.
