I would be interested in swapping in the near future when the testing phase is complete. I currently use RankMath, so as I long as I can import current settings would swap, once I know it won’t break anything (I only have a live site so don’t want to test it on that at present)
Will follow the development though, and will swap once I know that things should still work the same.
Thanks @spanner44. As you may have seen above, @Simone is already using it on a live site and I’ve been using a pre-pre-release version on a couple of my own sites for a few weeks now. I’m quietly confident that nothing will break but if I were in your position, I’d be doing exactly the same.
Please take a backup of your site’s database before doing anything. I don’t recommend using this on a live site just yet.
While you import the settings, you can leave RM activated and then activate Classic SEO. You’ll see a warning message about having more than one SEO plugin activated which you can ignore for now. Import settings from RM then deactivate RM. If you wanted to switch back to RM afterwards, your RM settings should still be in place.
Just to give a short update and feedback, I have now installed Classic SEO as a replacement of RM on my live site.
At the moment, everything seems to be working as it should. No errors and visitor numbers are still consistent, so I presume that it is working as it should.
That’s great news and thanks for reporting back. Keep an eye on your Google rankings over the next few weeks but I really can’t see any reason why that should change.
About editors… any text editor that works over SFTP could do the job. And is also misleading because I’ve seen many sites having a .htacces with nginx
Simone.
New minor release of ClassicPress SEO issued today (October 31). This is mostly a CSS fix for the problem with icons not displaying correctly on the tab bar in the post edit page.
Yoast SEO has dropped compatibility with WordPress < 5.2.
With yesterday’s release of WordPress 5.3, we will return to our initial position of only supporting the latest two versions of WordPress. In this case, that’s WordPress 5.2 and WordPress 5.3, and not versions before that.^1
On v 0.3.1, seeing this warning in PHP Error Log Viewer: PHP Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function 'on_login' not found or invalid function name in /xxxx/public/wp-content/plugins/classicpress-seo-master/classicpress-seo.php on line 147
Thanks @raygulick. I’ll issue a fix for that shortly but it’s safe to ignore it for now. It’s related to preparations for adding support for Google Search Console which should be available in v0.4.0.
