  • You will have to be more clear about what you mean by SEO. If you mean CMS (Content Management System), there are many ways to customize WordPress for that.

    If you mean inclusion of meta tags, or other search engine “friendly” elements, you can add those yourself easily. These are not the responsiblity of the Themes, but your responsiblity to add what elements you would like to attract more search engine coverage and exposure depending upon your needs.

    ok, here is my wish list:

    on article pages, the title of the article becomes the H1 tag, it also becomes the meta keywords and description tag.

    Code is clean and well written, with no/little white space.

    certain phrases/keywords as chosen by me become links to urls (this can be done with text replace)

    the name of the article is wriiten into the footer as a url leading back to the main page and the article url.

    all the major sites are pinged every time there is a new comment or article automatically.

    in the source code the first thing that will be shown is the site name, followed by header followed by article name.

    Cheers

    Top 4 can be done by you in your code.

    Pinging sites on comments ? I do not think they would like that at all.

    And the Source view ? That really is a wishlist item ….. that just is not how pages or browsers work.

    title becomes title tag, and proper h1 tag.

    meta keywords and description tag is noise for most engine. you want to stay away from those, as they reduce the keyword density of the page.

    the theme validates as html4, and white spaces are kept to an absolute minimum.

    phrases/keywords that become links is done via a tagging plugin.

    name of the article in the footer is useless, especially for what you want to do with it. best I know, engines ignore links to the same page. link to home is a matter of adding it via the config.php, but it’s not much use either.

    pings are a WP problem, not a theme problem.

    putting the site name before the title damages your ranking.

    the point in the end being: there’s several years of SEO experience in that theme; better take it than leave it.

    A plain old WordPress install without any modification, customization and regardless of the theme works just fine with search engines if you produce good content that people link to. There’s just no substitute for slow steady organic link building (as opposed to linking schemes).

    h1 isn’t necessary

    any html tag is necessary
    and that is your’s

    https://www.urbangiraffe.com/plugins/headspace
    for meta tag descritption

    to style the title use the tags of WordPress you’ll find in the codex…
    I’m using a if with “if is home” or “if is category” or” if is single.php” for the title…

    https://vapourtrails.ca/wp-keywords
    for keywords – if you like it

    a good html code is necessary –realy

    but good content –is always the best

    to find the keywords _and_ good content is the best way to get a good SEO

    I know you were looking for this a year ago, but I attempted to build a seo wordpress theme that does more or less what has been discussed elsewhere on this site to make already good wordpress seo a little bit better: https://www.dharmarketing.com/wordpress-search-engine-optimized-autoseo-theme-released-2-13
