Hey all! I just wanted to jump in here to let you know that my team and I at AIOSEO have adopted the Table of Contents Plus plugin and we have already submitted a patch for the security vulnerability.

We have long admired and used this plugin, and once we heard it was abandoned, we have been working hard to adopt and fix the outstanding issues so that you can use it without any ongoing issues. We’re hoping a new version gets posted within the next few days so you can quickly update.

We’ll be looking to add any missing features and improvements, so if there is anything that you’d like to see added, feel free to reach out and let us know!

Hi @mialiu66,

Thanks for your review! I’m really sorry for any confusion here.

There are recommended plugins that are only installed when they’ve been selected in the Setup Wizard.

There’s an option to install these plugins because they complement All in One SEO and help with the goals of optimizing sites for search engines.

If you don’t require these plugins, then you can safely deactivate and delete them and they’ll not be installed or activated again unless you run the Setup Wizard those plugins are selected again.

We’ve recently updated the setup wizard to make it much clearer what will be installed in each option as shown here – https://a.supportally.com/i/VctRiR

Again, I’m sorry for any issues this caused you.

Hey @sharpdev01!

Thanks for the review. Is there anything that we can improve or do better to get a 5-star review from you? Thanks!

Hey @cassyput!

Thanks for the review. I’d love to have you elaborate on the clunky UX. What elements are you having trouble with? Any feedback is helpful for us to improve and earn a 5-star rating from you! Thanks!

Hey @tewanwp,

Is there anything specifically that you feel is missing in the free version? We have quite a few features available in our free version including our TruSEO feature for analyzing your content, WooCommerce SEO for product schema, XML Sitemaps, schema output, social media integrations, and so much more.

Were you able to check out all those other features? Was there something specific you were hoping would be in the free version?

Looking forward to your feedback!

@jean1234 please send an email to [email protected] with any screenshots or images as needed and we can help you from there. Thanks!

@conceptmilan I’m so glad to hear that, thank you for letting us know!

Thanks for trying it out @jean1234 and I’m sorry this issue still persists.

Can you please reach out to us at https://aioseo.com/contact/ so we can take a closer look at this?

Thanks, @jean1234! Please let us know if it works as expected.

Hi @conceptmilan, @jean1234

We just released 4.5.7.3. Can you test if this issue is resolved for you with the latest update? Thanks!

Hey @serpevil,

I’m really sorry to hear this! Nobody should have received 5 emails from us today (or ever) through our marketing. This is just not how we do things. I’d really love to investigate this further to see how this could have happened. Can you please reach out to us on our website https://aioseo.com/contact/ so I can take a closer look?

Thank you!

@qbey,

Thanks for the update and that info. We were able to reproduce it using the RU version of WordPress.

It turns out that our translated strings are too long for a preg_replace_callback function that Autoptimize uses when optimizing comments and that causes the entire page content to return NULL which is why it’s blank for you. This is definitely a limitation within the Autoptimize plugin, but we are hoping to find a way to fix it on our end if possible.

With that in mind, until a fix is available I’ve prepared a quick code snippet you can add to your functions.php file (or using a plugin like WPCode):

add_action( 'wp_print_footer_scripts', function() {
	if ( is_admin() ) {
		return;
	}

	wp_deregister_script( 'aioseo/js/src/vue/standalone/app/main.js' );
}, '9.5' );

This isn’t a great permanent solution because it disables our translations on the front end of the site in the SEO Preview module.

We have a few ideas for how we can fix it from our end, but we also plan to reach out to the Autoptimize team to see if they can adjust the way they process the data on their end so this issue doesn’t occur in the future with any other plugins.

Thanks again for reporting this and we’ll reach out as soon as we have a permanent solution!

Hey @skaredov!

Thanks for reaching out and I’m sorry for the trouble here! We do fully support PHP 8.1, but it seems like something (usually an external plugin or your theme) is filtering our code and changing the required type which then throws this error.

We are looking at changing how this works so it won’t happen in the future. If you want, I can provide you with a beta build to see if it fixes the issue for you. Just reach out to our support team on our website or via the support forum here.

If AIOSEO has been working for you otherwise, I’d love to see if you could reconsider choosing 5-stars for this review!

Either way, let me know if you have any further questions!

Hey @qbey!

Thanks for reaching out, and I’m really sorry about the conflict here! We’d love to help troubleshoot to get to the bottom of it.

We did some initial tests but were unable to replicate the issue. This could be for numerous reasons, but probably because we don’t have the same theme + plugins installed as you do.

Autoptimize has a setting to exclude scripts from being optimized. I’d like to see if you exclude ours if it makes any difference.

Please go to Settings > Autoptimize > Javascript Options and find the section entitled: Exclude scripts from Autoptimize. Then just add the following: aioseo/js/src to that list.

Let me know if that fixes the issue for you! If so, we will work to get this permanently resolved inside our plugin.

And just for peace of mind, our scripts only load when you are logged in to the site and not for visitors. These scripts are for rendering the SEO SERPs preview on the front end of your site while you are auditing your pages.
