Has anyone ever used code to enable a plugin for a certain user level? Can you point me in the right direction?

That makes two of us who’re curious about this. Has anyone had to deal with this?

Thank you esmi. I will look into that if I can’t find any way to do it with the code. Has anyone had to do this before?

If anyone knows how to do this, without using a plugin, please let me know – even if to simply point me to a relevant section in the codex. I’m guessing it’s adding a few lines of PHP in the functions file, I just don’t know which lines those would be.

Does anyone know why the XML sitemap function of WordPress SEO wouldn’t work, as described above? That seems, to me, to be one of the more theme-indifferent features; has anyone else had this problem?

Update: I have activated WordPress SEO with my custom non-standard theme, and the meta tag function and title functions work well.

However, the XML sitemap feature appears to be broken. Where it says “You can find your XML Sitemap here,” I click the button and get this error:

“This page contains the following errors:
error on line 2 at column 6: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.”

Why would this be occurring?

Hello, my apologies for being a doubting Thomas, but is that really all that’s needed? I’m cautious because (a) I have very little knowledge of PHP and (b) I read someone’s horror story about WordPress SEO taking down their site somehow. Thank you for the help, I truly appreciate it.

Thanks for your quick response – by non-standard WordPress theme I just mean it was not created to be a versatile theme; it was a patchwork that involved taking their old site and allowing WordPress to be used as the CMS for editing page content, adding pages, etc. There’s no functionality for Posts or widgetized sidebars.

Has anyone ever been able to use Yoast’s WordPress SEO successfully on a custom theme like this?

Does anyone know, from experience or theory, the specific functions that I need to be able to hook into for this plugin to work properly?

It was my mistake, the header images looked like they were cut off but they were full size.

I will make backups from now on, thanks for the tip.
