Word Press SEO-Friendly Title Tag Plug-in

LOVE this plugin! In EASILY allows for custom title tags in all of your wordpress posts. Instead of trying to weave keywords awkwardly into your post titles- you can use this to create custom title tags when posting in wordpress.

Download the plugin for Wordpress 2 , SEO Title Tag 1.0, here .

and follow installation instructions below. If you are not comfortable editing code- don’t worry- it is quite simple- follow directions step-by-step and you should have no problems. Please post in comments sections if you are having difficulty and I will do my best to solve.

  1. Upload seo-title-tag.php to your wp-content/plugins directory.

  2. Activate the plugin.

  3. Under Presentation -> Theme Editor in the WordPress admin, select “Header” from the list and replace:

    <title><?php bloginfo('name'); wp_title(); ?></title>


    (or whatever you have in your container – it will vary from theme to theme ) with:</p><br /> <p><code>&lt;title&gt;&lt;?php if (function_exists('seo_title_tag')) { seo_title_tag(); } else { bloginfo('name'); wp_title();} ?&gt;&lt;/title&gt;</code></p><br /> </li><br /> <li>Under Options -> <span class="caps">SEO </span>Title Tag, specify a title tag for your home page which will override your blog name as the home page’s title tag. You can also configure here whether you want all the rest of your site’s title tags to have your blog name, or a shortened version of your blog name, or neither, appended to the end.</li><br /> <li>Define category descriptions in the admin under Manage -> Categories. When defined, these will be used in place of category names in the title tag on category pages (e.g. yourdomain.com/archives/category/uncategorized/)</li><br /> <li>As desired, you can add a custom field called <i>title_tag</i> (or whatever you alternatively specified as the custom field name under Options -> <span class="caps">SEO </span>Title Tag) to any post or Page which will be used as a replacement title tag, specifically and only for that page. Don’t like the title tag for a particular post? No problem: just define a custom field when writing or editing a post or page in the WordPress admin. Custom Fields is above the “Delete this page” button. You may need to hit the plus sign to the right of Custom Fields to expand that section. The Key is <i>title_tag</i> (unless you’ve changed it in the Options) and the Value is whatever you want that post’s/page’s title tag to be.</li></ol></p> <p class="postmetadata"> Tags: <a href="http://www.bigfootwebmarketing.com/category/seo-general/" title="View all posts in Internet Marketing and Blogs" rel="category tag">Internet Marketing and Blogs</a>, <a href="http://www.bigfootwebmarketing.com/category/seo-tools/" title="View all posts in SEO Tools" rel="category tag">SEO Tools</a>, <a href="http://www.bigfootwebmarketing.com/category/wordpress-and-word-press-plugins/" title="View all posts in WordPress Blog" rel="category tag">WordPress Blog</a> by Lisa Stewart<br /> <a href="http://www.bigfootwebmarketing.com/2007/01/28/word-press-seo-friendly-title-tag-plug-in/#respond" title="Comment on Word Press SEO-Friendly Title Tag Plug-in">No Comments »</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="post"> <h2><a href="http://www.bigfootwebmarketing.com/2007/01/22/new-wordpress-version-wordpresdd-21-ella-version-released/" title="New Wordpress Version: Wordpress 2.1.1 “Ella” version Initial Comments">New Wordpress Version: Wordpress 2.1.1 “Ella” version Initial Comments</a></h2> <div class="entry"> <!-- Begin MBL Plugin --> <script type='text/javascript' src='http://track.mybloglog.com/js/jsserv.php?mblID=2007100609033952' defer='defer'></script> <!-- End MBL Plugin --> <p>Just uploaded and tried it on one of my yest blogs- still not sure if worth the effort and risk of installing new version was worth it.<br /> Some addition features include a slicker looking log-in page, a built-in spell check ( but you must be using visual editor) as well as an auto save function- this I think is also only available in visual editor ( <span class="caps">WYSIWYG</span>) mode. I never use WP in visual editor mode that mode so so far not worth it to me, howver in this new verson, <span class="caps">ELLA</span>, you can o tab back and forth between visual editor and code mode. I may actually try this.</p> <p>Also better image upload management tauted.<br /> The auto-save would be a great feature- I have lost countless posts because I forgot to save. So, will back up some fiels on one of my blog sites before I feel comfortable recommending to clients.</p> <p>If you are going to do an upgrade to wordpress you <span class="caps">MUST</span> back-up your files in case something goes wrong.
