Does this plugin conflict with Yoast SEO or other SEO plugins?
We recommend using only one SEO plugin at a time to avoid duplicate meta tags. If you’re switching from another SEO plugin, deactivate it before activating Super Duper SEO Title and Description.
What are the recommended character lengths?
- SEO Title: 30–60 characters (desktop), max 55 for mobile
- Meta Description: 80–160 characters (desktop), max 120 for mobile
- OG Title: max 60 characters
- OG Description: max 200 characters
Does this plugin support WooCommerce?
Yes! The plugin fully supports WooCommerce products and is compatible with HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage).
Which image formats are supported for Social Media?
JPG and PNG are the recommended formats for og:image. LinkedIn and XING support only JPG and PNG reliably. WebP and AVIF may cause issues on these platforms – LinkedIn may show no preview image or only a tiny thumbnail. The plugin automatically converts WebP and AVIF images to JPG for maximum compatibility across all social media platforms.
- Facebook: JPG, PNG, WebP (AVIF only limited)
- LinkedIn: JPG, PNG only (WebP/AVIF not reliable)
- XING: JPG, PNG only
- X / Twitter: JPG, PNG, WebP
- WhatsApp / Slack: JPG, PNG, WebP

ChangeLog
1.3.3 – 07.05.2026
- Improved: Plugin Check compliance – all output values in
class-sdstd-llms-txt.php are now properly escaped (16 fixes in the llms.txt / llms-full.txt generator).
- Improved: XSL stylesheet output in
class-sdstd-sitemap.php now uses explicit esc_html() on all interpolated values for full Plugin Check compliance.
- Improved: Translator comments added to all i18n strings containing placeholders (
%d, %1$d etc.) in class-sdstd-admin-assets.php for accurate translation context.
- Improved: Ordered placeholders (
%1$d instead of %d) for the multi-value import-result message so translators can reorder them per locale.
- Improved: Removed
suppress_filters => true from sitemap query – plugin filters now run as expected.
- Improved: Documented direct database queries and slow meta/tax queries in
class-sdstd-sitemap.php with phpcs annotations and rationale (all results are cached in the sitemap transient for 1 hour).
- Improved: phpcs annotations on the importer’s
prepare() calls explaining the safe use of dynamically-built %s placeholder lists.
- Improved: Annotated the WordPress core
the_content filter usage in the FAQ schema generator (this is intentionally not a plugin-owned hook).
- Note: No functional or user-facing changes. All fixes are static-analysis cleanup for the WordPress.org Plugin Check.
1.3.2 – 05.05.2026
- New: Per-post AI crawler override – set “Block” or “Allow” individually for each page in the Indexing tab. Use cases: block AI on premium/member content, or explicitly allow AI on marketing pages even when blocking is global.
- New: Tristate dropdown “Use global setting / Block / Allow” replaces the previous read-only AI status display in the meta box.
- New: Live preview in the meta box now shows the effective AI-blocking meta tag based on per-post override + global setting.
- New: Post meta
_sdstd_ai_bots_override available via REST API for headless setups.
- Improved: AI crawler logic in
class-sdstd-indexing.php respects per-post override on singular pages, falls back to global setting elsewhere.
- Improved: llms.txt and llms-full.txt now exclude posts where AI override is set to “Block” (in addition to the existing noindex filter). Setting a page to block AI now keeps it out of both meta tags AND the llms.txt feed consistently.
1.3.1 – 05.05.2026
- New: Filter
sdstd_schema_author_url – allows other plugins or themes to override or remove the author URL in Schema.org Article markup. Return an empty string to omit the author URL entirely.
- New: Filter
sdstd_sitemap_author_url – allows other plugins or themes to override the author archive URL in the XML sitemap. Return an empty string to skip the author entirely.
- Improved: Compatibility with security plugins that block author archives (e.g. Super Duper Two-Factor Login). When author archives are blocked and redirected, the new filters prevent dead URLs from appearing in structured data and sitemaps.
- Note: No breaking changes. Default behaviour is unchanged unless a filter is explicitly hooked.
1.3.0 – 27.04.2026
- New: XML Sitemap – generates a single /sitemap.xml file containing all public content
- New: Image Sitemap extension – featured and OG images included for better Google Image Search visibility
- New: Granular content selection – Posts, Pages, Products, Custom Post Types, Author archives and Date archives included by default; Categories and Tags optional
- New: Respects per-page noindex – pages marked as noindex are automatically excluded from the sitemap
- New: WordPress core sitemap (/wp-sitemap.xml) automatically disabled to avoid duplicates
- New: Dedicated “Sitemap” submenu under SEO & Title with submission links to Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, Yandex and IndexNow
- New: Browser-readable XML stylesheet (/sitemap.xsl) for human-friendly sitemap viewing
- New: Smart caching via transient (1 h, auto-invalidated on content changes) for fast response times
- Note: The classic sitemap ping endpoints have been discontinued by Google (26.06.2023) and Bing (2022). The plugin uses webmaster tools and IndexNow instead.
1.2.1 – 06.04.2026
- New: REST API support – all SEO meta fields readable and writable via the WordPress REST API
- New: SEO Data Importer – import from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress and All in One SEO with data detection and overwrite protection
- New: Focus Keyword Analysis – live 10-point SEO check (title, description, URL, content density, headings, image alt tags, text length, links)
- New: Schema.org JSON-LD – automatic Article, WebPage, Product, BreadcrumbList and WebSite schemas with per-page type override
- New: FAQPage schema auto-generated from H2/H3 headings in content
- New: Indexing tab – noindex/nofollow per page with live robots meta tag preview
- New: Canonical URL override per page (replaces WordPress default canonical)

- New: 5-tab layout (SEO, Keywords, Social Media, Schema, Indexing)
- New: Respects WordPress “Discourage search engines” setting – never overrides, warns in UI
