MEH – AN UPDATE. Excellent Plugin and Excellent Support

Needed something that would be able to properly parse various bits of meta information for my site. Chose this. Much of my site runs on Nextcellent Gallery – the fork of Nextgen. Nextcellent is excellent btw.

Anyhow, started using WPSSO and it all seemed pretty good. It’s crammed with options and really nails it. I wanted a few of the options that were only available in the Pro version so upgraded for $50. I think that’s totally reasonable considering the breadth of the plugin.

Found that it didn’t play well with Nextcellent which is a large portion of my gallery-centric website. The way NGG parses info for the page header as well as how it shows up in the rendered page (or something): it didn’t provide info very well for the plugin (or for web crawlers). I wrote to the support email provided and with in a day had a response. After that, and a couple dozen back and forth emails, along with a few trial versions, it was working exactly as it should and as I’d hoped it would.

I don’t know how this works with Nextgen gallery – only Nextcellent. But NGG sort of sucks anyhow.

So:
1. Those issues with Nextgen/Nextcellent and how it parses info in a bad-for-SEO sort of way are over
2. I can easily and reliably clarify all of my metadata now across my site
3. Support for this plugin is outstanding – patient, clear, and straight forward
4. I would totally recommend this plugin if you’re looking for an excellent metadata option.

Finally: I use it with the Simple Share Buttons and they play together well.
