Snigirev Meta & Alt

Description

A free SEO plugin: manual editing of ALT/Title/Caption/Description for
Media Library images, SEO title/description for posts and pages, basic
schema.org markup (JSON-LD, Article/WebPage), an XML sitemap and
robots.txt.

Features

  • Media Library: scan images missing ALT text (global mode) and browse
    the images used on a specific page/post (“per page” mode), edit
    ALT/Title/Caption/Description, save one card at a time or in bulk with
    the “Save all” button
  • Meta tags: a metabox on the post edit screen with SEO title/description
    fields, output of the tags on the front end (<title>,
    )
  • Default templates (“Smart Tags”, modeled after AIOSEO): if a post has no
    custom SEO Title/Description, the site-wide template from Settings is
    used, with placeholders #post_title, #site_title, #tagline,
    #separator, #current_year, #current_date — the post metabox shows
    what will actually be output before you even save. In Settings, tags
    are inserted with a button click, and a live preview with real site
    values is shown right under the field
  • Schema.org: JSON-LD Article (posts) / WebPage (pages) markup in
    wp_head, reusing the values from the Meta module
  • XML sitemap at /sitemap.xml — all public posts/pages, generated
    dynamically on request (no file written to disk), can be toggled in
    Settings
  • robots.txt: extra rules from Settings are appended to WordPress’s
    standard virtual robots.txt, plus an automatic Sitemap: line pointing
    to the sitemap (if enabled)
  • Open Graph (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url,
    og:site_name, og:locale) in wp_head — a single standard parsed by
    VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Telegram and MAX for link previews. Reuses
    the same values as SEO title/description (see Meta/Smart Tags above)
  • 301/302 redirects: a rule is “source (path, * allowed as a prefix
    wildcard) destination (full URL)”, managed as a list with
    enable/disable and delete right in the admin screen (Snigirev Meta &
    Alt Redirects), checked on every request before the page is output

Extended AI version

If you need automatic AI generation of ALT text/title/caption/description
for images and AI-generated SEO Title/Description for posts and pages,
that’s a separate paid product, Snigirev AI Meta & Alt (the full
version), not distributed through the WordPress.org directory. Details
and purchase: aiseobooster.aeropic.ru.
Snigirev Meta & Alt is a standalone free plugin that works fully on its
own, with no integration with the paid version.

Changelog

    via post title/description (switched to HEX-escaping JSON flags).
  • Updated the bundled select2 library to the final stable 4.1.0 release
    (was a pre-release build).
  • Rewrote the media-screen SQL queries to use fully literal, documented
    $wpdb->prepare() calls (no runtime-built query text passed to
    prepare()), and documented the one unavoidable variable-length IN()
    placeholder list with an explicit code comment.
  • Renamed the internal plugin bootstrap function to match WordPress
    Coding Standards naming conventions.

1.0.1

  • Bundled the select2 library locally instead of loading it from a CDN.

    parameters.
