We are using Arne Brachold’s Google XML Sitemaps. It is the industry standard. Like Einstem post above we wanted to reduce the number of plugins and this time opted to use Yoast Sitemap which we generally have turned off.

However, a couple of morning ago we were doing some site testing and noted an outgoing link to Yoast directly from our sitemap. To say flat-out this is unprofessional is an understatement. It’s enough already that there are all of the cartoons and caricatures filling the backend of the WordPress install. But not live links from our sitemap. That’s taking it a little too far.

Having said the above, Yoast is a good solution for WordPress SEO and offers some really neat tweaks. There are far better ways for him to sell the premium solution than sticking in links etc.

As a result we have migrated back to the XML Sitemaps which we are quite happy with.

Thanks for the reply. Though I was talking about a vertical solution, I meant to say Vertical and floating. This way a user could specifiy the pixel size until they got it exactly how they want it with their theme.

You could add it as as a premium solution?

Hi John,

My apologies. You are right I’m talking about a different plug-in. Too many browser tabs open.

Thanks anyway

Hugh, you are correct and it needs to be changed. Unfortunately, I can’t see a way to edit it, I will leave a fresh star isntead. No absue of the system was meant, considering my 1 satr was aimed at your plugin that removed a core feature. I agree 1 star was harsh.

Hi Hugh,
One person’s opinion. Your plugin is good but what attracted me to it along with others is the ability to remove ‘overtly obtrusive ads’ from the backend.
I just think it’s a shame you changed it.

Hi, same here using wordpress seo plugin 1.2.5 we noticed it caused 404 errors on category pages. Aftaer disabling the plugin and and removing our permalink back tod efault it strted working again.

We have now added /%postname%/ back to our permalinks and it is still working but without WordPress SEO. We will use as you suggest Steve allinoneseo plugin until this issue has been resolved.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I like the plugin and have recently donated.

Second that proposal for adding Pinterest to social media widget. Thanks Brian.

There you go: Shiseido trying out extra tab works great for me and am quite happy with it.

Hi Pete

I never sorted the problem. I am looking for anotehr way of adding GCS to the site.

Thanks I will play around with that and see if I can get it to work for me.

Hi Flammable thanks for finding that solution and it works for me—until it comes time to add teh actual search box to the site. How did you do this? When I added the standard WordPress search widget to the sidebar and tested it, it did not pick up the GCS but isntead took me to a page with the GCS box which seemed a bit redundant.

Is there a way of getting a fix for this. We have deactivated soundcloud plugin buit would really like to use it.

I am not so sure that disabling all WordPress shortcodes is a good idea if your using other plugins that rely on them. That’s opening a can of worms. Correct me if I am wrong?

Thanks for the reply realtm – the guilty culprit is Jetpack – I cannot believe I have seen more problems and issues with that plugin than ever. I have now disabled it and SIG works well.
Thanks

Hi, this is still not displaying for us and others. Everything is configured correctly AFAIK – but page displays nothing except for track not found.
