PLEASE NOTE: WPSSO CORE HAS REPLACED NEXTGEN FACEBOOK

The WPSSO Core plugin is a fork / child of NextGEN Facebook — they’re both Free and available on www.ads-software.com, have the same plugin author and developer, the same solid core features and code-base, but WPSSO Core offers its social sharing buttons as optional Free extensions (along with several other useful Free extensions).

You can choose not to use any social sharing buttons, use the traditional WPSSO Social Sharing Buttons, the latest WPSSO Ridiculously Responsive Social Sharing Buttons extension, or any other 3rd party social sharing buttons plugin. Social sharing plugins submit a URL to social sites, which then crawl the webpage to read meta tags and Schema markup (which WPSSO Core and its extensions provide).

WPSSO Core offers several useful and optional extensions:

• WPSSO Breadcrumbs Markup — recommended for best SEO
• WPSSO Mobile App Meta
• WPSSO Organization Markup
• WPSSO Place / Location and Local Business Meta
• WPSSO Ratings and Reviews
• WPSSO Ridiculously Responsive Social Sharing Buttons
• WPSSO Schema JSON-LD Markup — recommended for best SEO
• WPSSO Social Sharing Buttons
• WPSSO Strip Schema Microdata
• WPSSO Tweet a Quote
• WPSSO User Locale Selector

NextGEN Facebook and WPSSO Core settings are fully compatible:

After enabling the “Preserve Settings on Uninstall” option on the NGFB > Essential Settings page, you can deactivate and uninstall the NextGEN Facebook plugin, then install and activate the WPSSO Core plugin.

NextGEN Facebook users may continue to receive support, along with updates for any bugfixes, but future development efforts will be focused on the WPSSO Core plugin and its extensions.
