Public custom post types are discovered dynamically, making it suitable for education, course and learning-resource sites. ### Features * Modern SkillStudy admin control center with accessible navigation and a dedicated transparent SVG menu icon. * SEO title templates, homepage title/description controls and archive robots defaults. * Canonical URL override per content item while retaining WordPress canonical behavior by default. * Open Graph and social-card controls with a default social image. * Content SEO score for title, description, keyword, content depth, headings, links and featured image coverage. * Expanded structured data including Course, LearningResource, Quiz and QAPage, with one connected JSON-LD graph. * Indexability-aware XML sitemap index at /sitemap_index.xml with public content, taxonomies, last-modified dates and featured-image entries. * 404 monitoring with local path/hit/last-seen records and a one-click clear action. * Modern SEO dashboard with keyboard-accessible navigation. * Per-content SEO title, meta description, focus keyword, robots and schema controls. * Dynamic support for public custom post types and taxonomies. * Course and LearningResource structured data for LMS-style content. * Article, BlogPosting, NewsArticle, WebPage, FAQPage, HowTo, VideoObject, ItemList, ProfilePage, LocalBusiness, Event, Product, JobPosting, Review, Recipe, Service, SoftwareApplication, EducationalOccupationalCredential and DiscussionForumPosting schema support. * Connected JSON-LD graph with Organization, WebSite and BreadcrumbList entities. * Professional XML Sitemap Index at /sitemap_index.xml. * Paginated sitemap files for public content types and taxonomies. * Indexability-aware sitemap output. * Robots.txt sitemap declaration. * Image ALT and title helpers. * URL notification module. * 404 monitoring and permanent redirects. * Consent-first analytics integration. * Versioned JSON settings export/import. * Additive modules under includes/modules/ so new features can be added without changing the bootstrap. ### LMS Compatibility The plugin does not require a fixed course or module slug. It inspects registered public post types and their labels/rewrite slugs to detect course, module, lesson and learning content. Parent-course metadata is read from a small set of common relationship keys and can be extended with the `skilsepr_schema_context` filter. ### Sitemap The primary sitemap is: https://example.com/sitemap_index.xml The sitemap index can contain separate child maps for each eligible public post type and taxonomy. Published content marked noindex is excluded. After activation or a sitemap setting change, WordPress rewrite rules are refreshed automatically. Saving Settings > Permalinks can be used as a manual fallback. ### Structured Data Schema output is generated as JSON-LD and is indexability-aware. The plugin only emits rich content properties when the source data is available. A schema type can be selected per content item, while automatic detection handles common article and learning patterns. When another SEO system is responsible for the main schema graph, the plugin can add its content entity through supported integration hooks instead of printing a second complete graph. ### AI Client The optional content assistant uses the WordPress AI Client introduced in WordPress 7.0. Credentials and provider selection are handled by WordPress rather than stored as a provider-specific key by this plugin. ### External Services ### IndexNow When the site owner enables URL notifications and configures an IndexNow key, the plugin sends the site’s hostname, the key, and the public URL of an eligible published, updated, or deleted item to the IndexNow endpoint at https://api.indexnow.org/indexnow. This is optional and no notification is sent when the feature is disabled or no key is configured. IndexNow distributes URL-change notifications to participating search engines; it does not guarantee crawling or indexing. Service and protocol information: https://www.indexnow.org/ Documentation: https:// www.indexnow.org/documentation IndexNow is an open protocol rather than a user-account service; consult the linked protocol documentation for its service terms and data handling information. ### Analytics If the site owner configures an analytics provider, its tracking script may load only after visitor consent is granted. The provider may receive data according to its own configuration and policies. The site owner must identify the selected provider, explain data collection and retention in their privacy notice, and comply with applicable consent requirements. No single analytics provider is required by this plugin. ### Privacy The plugin stores SEO settings and content metadata in the site’s WordPress database. No visitor profile is created by the SEO metadata features. If analytics is enabled, tracking is gated by the consent preference stored in the visitor’s browser. ### Source code and build tools The plugin’s PHP and JavaScript source files are included in this package. The admin JavaScript at assets/js/admin.js is human-readable and is loaded directly; no minification/ build step is required to regenerate it. Edit the included source file directly. The same applies to the included editor scripts. ### Translation * Translation-ready text domain: `skillstudy-seo-pro`. * Bundled Hindi (`hi_IN`) PO/MO files are included. * A POT template is included for additional language packs. * WordPress language packs can override bundled translations when available. IndexNow service provider information: Terms of Use: https://www.microsoft.com/ en-us/legal/terms-of-use Privacy Policy: https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * SkillStudy TOC ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “SkillStudy SEO Pro” is open source software.
