Are you enjoying All in One SEO?

@freshyjon That notice should go away and stay gone when you click the X in the top right corner. If it doesn’t then it cold be cached either by caching from a plugin or from server side caching.

Understood. Though, I feel like every few months, it asks again?

Either way, it’s still an annoying practice to show this on various admin backend pages. Especially when we host 1,000+ sites. It gets a bit tiresome to see this all the time. In my opinion, it should only be on the actual AIOSEO pages.

The answer is “No” it sucks ! I have wasted so much time trying to fix critical issues, most of which is caused by this plugin …ie …Your meta description is 234 characters long, which is too long….. Well yes this is true, but only if you use the dam useless new version of the this plugin’s own interface.

Ever since the new UI and TruSEO Score & Content features were added to All in One SEO Pack the plugin has had issues.

– Cloning pages now does not clone AINSEOP content.

– Tags sometimes don’t work, for example “Page Title” is not adding it to Snippet Preview or saved paged once saved.

– On page list it sometimes does not display page title under SEO details.

I won’t be renewing this plugin, I’m a pro user. Which is sad because it was the best plugin and issue free until the new UI etc.

All I can say is that I agree with @martinpwph . This was one of my favorite plugins, and was a pleasure to use. It had everything we needed, and nothing we didn’t. Since v4, it seems to have gone downhill. But that seems the case with a lot of SEO and GA plugins lately, unfortunately.

Instead of developers trying to re-invent their plugin to such a degree, that has obviously frustrated a lot of users, it may be beneficial to make a separate plugin entirely. Though, I realize the nightmare that may be, trying to maintain two separate (though similar) plugins.

I have to agree with the OP and the Title of this post. I dislike the growing tendency for plug-ins to try and persuade me to do things! Once I’ve made my mind up, further ‘nagging’ is more likely to see me delete the offending plug-in.

Responding to the Title?

No! Far too many bugs and niggly changes to allow me to push version 4.x to ‘live’.
AIOSEO used to be a steady and reliable well maintained plug-in and one of a very small number I allowed to be tested to use the new WP auto-update feature. Fortunately it was only testing on the staging site! Struggled for a day or so and reverted to a back-up and v3.7.1. At the current rate of change, it will possibly be a v5.x consolidation before I retry with my limited resources.

@freshyjon I think the biggest issue is that the new AIOSEO plugin does not use built-in WordPress post/term meta tables anymore. The plugin is now using it’s own.

I feel like we all have been used as guinea pigs for a new not tested enough system.

I am now thinking of removing it from 100+ sites I have built. Doing some hard thinking at the moment.

v4 has slowed my work down a lot by not being able to have the data in cloned post/pages and having to go through and re-enter some data due to tags not working properly and other bugs.

This is my support answer regarding AIOSEO seo data not cloning when cloning pages/posts with some of the most popular cloning plugins.

Thank you for contacting us.

I don’t think that there currently aren’t any plugins that support that. The reason for this is that we no longer use WordPress built-in post/term meta tables, but instead use our own custom ones to improve the performance of various features.

Once the free version of 4.0.0 goes live, I would assume that other 3rd party plugin developers will make their existing plugins with our new architecture compatible and might make this possible again.
