详情介绍:
INI Scout is a focused, no-bloat SEO plugin for WordPress. It adds solid on-page
SEO with automatic structured data, and stays out of the way of multilingual
plugins (e.g. TranslatePress / WPML — hreflang) and the rest of your stack.
Dashboard & settings
- A modern admin UI: vertical-nav settings with cards, accordions and toggle switches, plus an at-a-glance SEO dashboard.
- Document
<title>and meta-description templating, per post type and per taxonomy, with per-post and per-term overrides. - Canonical URLs for every context, with per-post override.
- Robots directives via the core
wp_robotsfilter (no duplicate tags): per-post noindex, plus noindex toggles for search, date and author archives. max-image-preview:large,max-snippet:-1,max-video-preview:-1by default.- Google / Bing site-verification meta tags (output on every page).
- Open Graph and Twitter Card tags, with featured-image fallback and a site-wide default share image. Per-post share-image override.
WebSite(+ optional Sitelinks SearchAction) andOrganization/LocalBusinesswith address, geo, telephone, opening hours, price range and social profiles (sameAs).Article/NewsArticlefor posts and news.- Per-post-type schema mapping: assign any post type to a schema type
(Article, WebPage, Store, Event, SaleEvent, …) from the settings screen, or
leave it on
autofor sensible defaults. BreadcrumbListon every non-home page.
- Custom XML sitemap at
/sitemap.xml(index + per-type / per-taxonomy sub-sitemaps) with image entries andlastmod; respects noindex. Replaces the WordPress core sitemap. Excludable per post type / taxonomy.
- Auto-submits published / updated URLs to Bing, Yandex, Seznam and Naver the moment content changes (a single ping is shared between them). Google does not consume IndexNow — the sitemap + Search Console cover Google.
- Secret key generated automatically and served as a virtual verification file (no stray file in the webroot); one-click regenerate and a manual test ping.
- Respects per-post noindex; submission runs on
shutdownso the editor save is never blocked. Capped, non-autoloaded submission log.
- A modern, WordPress-native overview: setup checklist with progress, live feature toggles, IndexNow status & recent submissions, and per-content-type meta-description coverage bars.
- Virtual robots.txt editor that always advertises the sitemap.
[iniseo_breadcrumbs]shortcode andiniseo_breadcrumbs()template tag, sharing the same trail as the BreadcrumbList schema.
安装:
- The plugin lives in
wp-content/plugins/ini-scout/. - Activate INI Scout from Plugins. Activation registers the sitemap rewrite rules and flushes them once.
- Open INI Scout → Settings and fill in the Local Business tab (address, geo, phone, hours) so the Organization / LocalBusiness schema is complete.
- Add the verification codes (General tab) if you use Search Console / Bing.
常见问题:
How do I switch from the previous SeoWP plugin?
Back up your database and deactivate SeoWP before activating INI Scout. Existing settings, post and term metadata, IndexNow keys, shortcodes and integration hooks are retained. Do not use WordPress's Delete action on the old plugin: its uninstaller removes shared SEO data. After deactivating it, remove the old plugin folder through your hosting file manager instead.
Does INI Scout require the INI platform?
No. All SEO features work independently. The optional platform integration exposes an authenticated REST endpoint for a separately installed connector.
更新日志:
1.2.0
- Rebrand the plugin, administration screens, exports and translation domain to INI Scout.
- Use the ini-scout directory and main plugin file for WordPress.org distribution.
- Remove the private update channel; updates are delivered by WordPress.org.
- Preserve existing settings, metadata, shortcodes and integration identifiers.
- Fix: the editor "Search appearance" preview now shows the auto-generated description (the %excerpt% fallback) correctly. It previously read the excerpt only from the value present at page load and never followed the content editor, so on screens without a standard excerpt box — notably WooCommerce products, where the description lives in the content editor — the preview wrongly said "No meta description" even though the live page does output one. The preview now derives %excerpt% from the live editor (Block and Classic) just like the front-end. Front-end output was already correct and is unchanged.
- Fix: the Setup-checklist item "Business address & location added" now ticks once the required address parts are present (street + city + country). It was incorrectly gated on map coordinates (latitude/longitude), so a complete address with no coordinates never completed. Coordinates and postal code remain optional — Google geocodes from the address. The platform
iniseo/v1/state → schema_types.has_addressnow uses the same definition, so the checklist and the reported data agree.
- New: Crawl & score page (INI Scout → Crawl). Pick content types and run a batched, cancellable crawl that fetches each published URL's rendered HTML (so page-builder content is measured), scores SEO and readability, stores the scores, and can optionally submit each URL to IndexNow. Available regardless of IndexNow (the IndexNow submit is an optional per-run extra).
- New: Per-post Submit to IndexNow button in the content-analysis metabox (published posts, when IndexNow is enabled).
- New: Posts/Pages list actions — row actions "Crawl & score" and "Submit to IndexNow", plus matching bulk actions for selected items.
- Fix: the SEO / Readability columns on the post list now light up after a crawl (the crawl writes the same rating meta the columns read).
- New: Setup-checklist items can be dismissed (e.g. address / opening hours on non-local-business sites); dismissed items no longer count toward the progress total, and can be restored.
- Fix: IndexNow settings (enable + content-type whitelist) now save correctly. They were silently reverted because the shared settings sanitizer — which runs on every save of the option — re-read the old IndexNow values from the database instead of honouring the IndexNow page's own submission. The sanitizer now keeps IndexNow values when they are present in the submitted data and only preserves the stored values when they are absent (the main Settings form), so a Settings save still never wipes IndexNow.
- Fix: Search-engine verification meta tags (Google / Bing) are now output on every page, not just the homepage — search engines may re-verify from any URL, and this matches every other SEO plugin.
- New: The site-wide "Default share image" can now be set from the Titles tab too (the same setting as Social → Default share image — one value, editable from either place, no duplicate save).
- Internal: INI Scout now registers its REST namespace (iniseo/v1) with the INI WP connector's family registry, so the INI Protector plugin's "Require login for REST API" never blocks the INI Scout platform endpoint the control panel pulls. No user-facing change.
- Fix: the SEO title length check now measures the SEO title (the INI Scout title field), not the WordPress post title. Editing the SEO title now updates the "Aim for 30–60" check live; when the SEO title is left blank it measures the rendered template default ("Post title – Site name") — i.e. exactly what appears in the page .
- New: Manual "Re-analyze" button by the SEO score ring, plus a per-suggestion re-check action, so the score can be refreshed on demand while editing.
- Improve: Content analysis now reads the rendered front-end HTML when the editor body is thin (page builders such as Elementor, and ACF-only layouts), so the word count and keyphrase checks reflect what visitors and search engines actually see — fixing misleading "very little content" warnings and stale scores.
- Internal: Head cleanup (generator / WLW / RSD / shortlink removal) moved to the INI Protector plugin so there is a single owner. INI Scout keeps its noindex directives and all other SEO features.
- Initial release.
