All in One SEO Pack FAQ
If the answers below don’t solve your problem, before you post a comment, please consider:
- What exactly is not working? The meta tags are not in the source? The page is completely blank? Please be as specific as possible.
- What is your PHP error log saying?
- Please specify the versions you are using: PHP, Wordpress, All in One SEO Pack.
Yes, it’s supposed to be a frequently asked questions list but most are not questions. If it can be described clearly without a question mark I use it that way.
Before you request support please test with the default theme!
FAQ
- Does it work with Wordpress 2.5?
Yes it does. - It doesn’t work.
Actually this is not a really good notion to start with. Can you clarify it (see points below). - I don’t see the meta tags in the source at all.
Try it with the default theme. Try disabling other themes until you get a working combination. If all that doesn’t help leave a comment on this page. Please specify what exactly isn’t working, your WP version and if possible your PHP version. - I don’t see meta tags with my theme. The default theme works all right though.
In most cases your theme is missing the appropriate call to wp_head() usually found in header.php. Please patch it, taking it from the default theme.
If you don’t know how to do this, the following steps might work. Do them on your own risk:- In your admin panel, go to Plugins - Theme Editor
- On the right bar, click on Header
- Locate the line with
</head> - Insert the following linke before it:
<?php wp_head(); ?> - Save
- After activating All in One SEO Plugin I see two sets of meta tags.
Please just edit your theme and remove whatever static meta descriptions and/or meta keywords you have in there. If it’s not your theme, you are probably using another plugin that is generating them. Disable it. - My paged index pages are not showing any meta tags.
This is on purpose to avoid semi-duplicate content (your index pages are not your homepage so they shouldn’t use the same meta tags). It might change in the future. - My URLs don’t get rewritten.
All in One SEO Pack doesn’t handle this, it’s already done by Wordpress itself. Visit Options - Permalinks to setup. - One Click Upgrade Error: Upgrade failed: Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature [code -10]
Sorry I don’t know what’s causing this. It might be because the download got scrambled for some reasons. It’s up to manual updates now. - Why are you releasing so often?
The comments on the main post are full of feature and modification requests and also requests for bug fixes. Every time I fix something or implement a new feature I release a new version. Because somebody wanted it, and might also help many others. As I’m doing this in my spare time I usually implement things in short bursts whenever I find a consecutive number of free time slices to use. And of course I release immediately afterwards and then keep on doing whatever I else I do in my spare time. This way it’s out of my mind (and todo list) and at least one person is happy (and possibly many more). - Can I automatically include some keywords in all my posts?
The short answer is no. The slightly longer answer is that this plugin is about best practices for SEO, and having the same keywords over and over again on every post is not recommended. - Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted … What is that??
All in One SEO uses output buffering to rewrite the titles, for this to works it needs memory. There’s no way to optimize that much more, and on most hosting setups it just works which leads me to the conclusion that there are some companies who are just skimpy with memory. If the above error appears on admin pages, it’s not even output buffering related. I’d recommend switching to a host that can provide sufficient memory or disabling some plugins. - Why are the keywords showing on my page so everyone can see them?
You are misusing a feature called “Additional Post Meta Tags”. Please read the help text (simply by clicking on it in the options panel). It’s *not* meant for keywords.
- Can I hire you for doing SEO / Internet Marketing on my site?
While I still enjoy doing SEO for fun and profit I don’t have any clients anymore. It’s so much more fun when you do it for something you really love. Besides that you really wouldn’t like my hourly rate
- Can I hire you for modifying All in One SEO Pack?
If you are serious about that please be prepared for my rate. Yes I’m doing this for fun but that doesn’t mean you can hire me for a few bucks per hour.

@Simon: I recommend WP 2.3.x or later because of tags which you’ll use anyway, they’re a good source for the meta keywords.
January 8th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
@Alex: It’s working on WP 2.3.2. Have you enabled automatic meta descriptions generation or set a meta description?

The plugin doesn’t work…
In my admin panel in Option->All in One SEO Pack i don’t see nothing… only the title and the version.
Nothing input or option…
Sorry for my english
January 14th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
Check if you uploaded all the files, Pr0v4
January 14th, 2008 at 2:25 pm
@Pr0v4: Can you access your (PHP) error logs? Screen shot would be handy too. Btw your blog homepage doesn’t load (at least for me), maybe this is related.
January 15th, 2008 at 11:03 am
I’ve have upgrade the plugin, and now work fine!!!
Thank you!
January 16th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
@Ryan: This is fixed in 1.4.5.1, let me know whether there are still problems.
January 16th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
@JJ: All in One SEO Pack doesn’t handle this, it’s already done by Wordpress itself. Visit Options - Permalinks to setup. I have updated the FAQ.
January 16th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
@Tom: Can’t do anything without a good error message. Do you have access to your PHP error log?
January 19th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
I’m working on a site and I cannot see the title - I can see the description and keywords. Please email me so we can discuss privately - I do not wish to disclose the domain name on here.

Hey, I think I found the problem - there was no tag in the head. After inserting that tag, it started working. I just assumed the php would insert the title but I see that it replaces the title. Thank you for the great plugin and for supporting it!
January 20th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
@John: There was a version that worked even on templates without title tag but it caused problems with another problem or with feeds so I removed it.
January 22nd, 2008 at 12:19 am
I have your plugin, don’t see any significant changes yet. We’ll see… Thank you for making it available

Hi,
The plug in does not work on my blogs. I uploaded in two of my sites but the same thing happens. After activation, when I go to write, there is nothing there. I don’t know what I might be missing? Please help…:(
January 22nd, 2008 at 8:41 am
@Jo: It doesn’t seem to be active on your blog. Please read the FAQ for some troubleshooting.
January 22nd, 2008 at 5:02 pm
Hello,
I have looked at the header file, and see the code that you mention by the code.
However, I still do not seem to get a description or content tag to poplulate.
Any suggestion is much appreciated.
Thanks!
January 22nd, 2008 at 6:36 pm
How do you reset back to default settings? I deleted the plug-in and reinstalled it, but it still seems to retain the settings.
January 22nd, 2008 at 6:38 pm
@Arch: There’s no way to reset the settings.
January 22nd, 2008 at 6:41 pm
@Scott: If you want to tweak specific posts you can do from your post editing screen. Just scroll down or search for SEO.

I’m using the latest version of WP and when I write a description it does not show up in the source code. When I use the default them it seems to work though. I tried adding the but it was already there. What exactly is in the default header.php that needs to be present for the all-in-seo pack to work. I’ve tested about 20 themes I have here and it doesn’t work with any of them.
January 23rd, 2008 at 8:57 am
@Jim: What can I say? There must be the same calls in place as in the default theme. Not necessarily in header.php though.
January 23rd, 2008 at 9:07 am
@uberdose, Sorry, I’m not really a code guy. I just copied everything between the “head” tags from the default them to my current theme and the meta tags are working now and everything look fine. Any downside to that or something I’m missing?
January 23rd, 2008 at 9:13 am
@Jim: You certainly should check that the resulting HTML is valid for SEs (no duplicate meta tags etc). If you have you should be ok.
January 24th, 2008 at 10:43 am
Thanks for the great Plugin.
But I have still no results in the Title tag for my Homepage.
Only ” | Blog Title”
The Setting Titel for index pages does not change any thing.
January 24th, 2008 at 10:18 pm
The description and the keywords don’t get rewritten (they are the same as on homepage), it might be theme specific. Please look at my site and tell me what you think. Thanks, Paps.
January 25th, 2008 at 12:13 am
Can you set an option to disable using tags as keywords?
January 25th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
WordPress Version 2.3.2
All in ONE SEO PAck 1.4.5.3
PHP Version 5.2.4
I’ve used the default theme, disabled a bunch of other plugins, diabled and reinsabled AIOSP though the header tags and title doesn’t appear. I do have the header tag intact:
Also, no related error logs in apache logs.
Any help would be much appreciated for a potentially great plugin for my site!

January 27th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
@articles2u: Please talk to your provider about that or use an older version that works. Can’t do anything about this.
