   Thanks for all your hard work. I haven’t installed the SEO one yet but I have been following your updates. I believe I will finally make the switch today.

   Hi Greg,

   I was wondering if in this latest update of Greg’s HP SEO if the WP short code issue with META descriptions has been adjusted. Reference to my previous post is

     Hi Rocky,

     Actually, it was fixed less than 24 hours after you reported it, as of version 1.0.9 on 11 November. (Please see the changelog for details.)

     All the best,
     Greg

   As a follow up I installed this plugin a few days ago and so far it is great. Much more customization options compared to the competition. Thanks again.

   Hello Greg,

   I’ve been using your SEO plugin for a few websites and I’m very satisfied with its results; this said, a few problems arise with multilingual blogs (I’m generally using WPML for that) as I can obviously customize excerpts, keyword and so on for each post but not the phrases which are in the plugin settings. It’d be nice if those phrases could be preceded by gettext function (__ and _e) so I could contribute .po files for other languages, but this would also require adding a function to recognize the language the website is viewed in and accordingly use the correct translation. Any chance this could be implemented in the future?

   Thanks and keep up with the great work,
   Alessio

     @Alessio – Yep, the plugin is designed with translatability in mind: everything is already in place ‘under the hood’. The challenge, however, is that there is a huge amount of text included within the plugin — nearly 6000 words just on the instructions page, let alone the 8 other pages of settings. Because the feature set is still developing, and the text strings have not yet settled down, I’ve elected not to enable translation quite yet. (Otherwise, every update which makes significant text string changes has to wait on translators to catch up.) Stay tuned, though, and thanks for your patience!

     All the best,
     Greg

   Hi Greg

   I have links on my page header to ‘Terms & Conditions’ and ‘Privacy Policy’. When I look at the source code for the page I see that ‘nofollow’ links are not being used.

   I just installed this plugin and cannot figure out how to add no follow to these links.

   Atleast ‘All in One SEO’ had a few check boxes for adding nofollows…

   Thanks
   Naveen

   P.S – I LOVE the fonts on your website. How did you get these.

     Hi Naveen,

     To my knowledge, the checkboxes you refer to in another plugin are not capable of inserting ‘nofollow’ into individual navigation links that you have placed in your theme, such as those you have included to your ‘Terms and Conditions’ and ‘Privacy Policy’ pages. Rather, they are used for modifying the bot tags in the head of the page itself (note: not the header of the page, which is a different kettle of fish). You will find a complete suite of bot settings in the ‘Head Meta’ section of Greg’s High Performance SEO.

     Of course it is possible to go back and retroactively tweak individual navigation links with ‘nofollow’ using output buffering, and at least one related plugin offers that feature. In my view, this is colossally inefficient and inelegant, and I have no plans to add such a feature to this plugin. (All this is setting aside the fact that it is not best practice to ‘nofollow’ these types of pages anyway, unless you happen to be using them to link to junk.)

     All the best,
     Greg

    Hi Greg,

    Trying to figure out how to replace the “-”, that is included in the page title between a post title and the blog title, with a pipe “|”.

    Hope you can help. Thanks,
    Johan

      @Johan,

      Just see the ‘Main Titles’ configuration page for Greg’s High Performance SEO — ya can’t miss it. (I assume you’re asking in connection with the plugin described in this post.)

      All the best,
      Greg
