Link Scanner is URLs on your website that no longer lead to a valid destination. These can be internal links pointing to removed pages or external links leading to websites that no longer exist. While they often go unnoticed, broken links can negatively impact both user experience and search engine performance.
Introduction to Link Scanner:
As websites grow and content changes over time, links naturally become outdated. Pages get deleted, URLs change, and external websites shut down. Manually tracking these broken links is time-consuming and error-prone. This feature automates the entire process, ensuring no broken link goes undetected.
Why It Matters:
Broken links frustrate visitors, increase bounce rates, and signal poor site quality to search engines. They can silently weaken your SEO and reduce user trust. By identifying and fixing broken links early, you create a smoother browsing experience, improve crawlability, and maintain a healthy, professional website.
Requirements:
The plugin must be installed and activated
Permission to scan site pages and posts
An active internet connection for checking external links
No technical knowledge or coding skills required

Overview:
The 404 Monitor feature in the SEO Repair Kit plugin helps you detect and track 404 errors (Page Not Found) that occur on your website.
A 404 error happens when a user or search engine tries to access a page that does not exist on the server. These errors usually occur when:
A page has been deleted
A URL has been changed
An internal link is broken
Another website links to an incorrect URL
A visitor manually enters the wrong URL
If left unresolved, 404 errors can negatively impact user experience and SEO performance.
What You Can Do with the 404 Monitor
Using the 404 Monitor, you can:
Detect pages that return 404 errors
Track how many times a broken URL is accessed
Identify the source of broken links
Monitor website issues affecting SEO
Fix or redirect broken URLs
This helps maintain a healthy website structure and better search engine rankings.
How It Works
Link Scanning:
The feature automatically scans your entire website, including pages, posts, and embedded links. It checks each link’s status to determine whether it’s active, redirected, or broken—covering both internal and external URLs.
Link Reporting:
Once the scan is complete, all detected broken links are organized into a clear, easy-to-read report. Each entry shows where the broken link appears, its destination, and its status, allowing you to quickly understand and prioritize fixes.
Manual Detection:
In addition to automated scans, you can manually trigger a scan at any time. This is especially useful after publishing new content or making major updates, ensuring broken links are caught immediately.
Fixing Broken Links:
From the report dashboard, you can fix broken links in just a few clicks. Update the URL, remove the link, or redirect it to a working page—no coding or technical setup required.
Proactive Monitoring:
The feature works proactively to help prevent future issues. Regular scans ensure new broken links are identified early, keeping your website healthy, user-friendly, and SEO-optimized without constant manual checks.
The Redirection feature works by mapping old or broken URLs to new, active ones. You can set up redirects manually or allow the system to automatically suggest redirects for deleted or moved pages.
Key Features:
Simple Setup: Allows you to create, edit, and delete redirects quickly.
Automatic 404 Monitoring: Automatically detects 404 errors and allows you to redirect them to the appropriate pages.
Manual Redirects: You have the flexibility to create manual redirects by entering both the old and new URLs.
Redirect Logs: The system keeps track of all your redirects, giving you a history of changes.
Error Tracking: It can also notify you when an error occurs, ensuring your site is always in top shape.
This system ensures that users always find the content they’re looking for, even when the original page has been moved or deleted
How It Benefits SEO:
Preserves Link Equity: Ensures that link value (PageRank) from old URLs is passed on to the new URLs.
Prevents Duplicate Content: Redirecting duplicate pages to the main page avoids search engine penalties.
Improves Site Health: Regularly fixing broken links and redirecting them helps maintain a clean site architecture.
Redirection Works in WordPress:
Redirection involves setting up rules that automatically send users from one URL to another. When someone tries to visit an old URL, the redirection rules trigger, and they are taken to the correct page. There are different types of redirects that can be used:
301 Redirect: Permanent redirect. It indicates that the URL has been moved permanently to a new location. This is the most common type used for SEO.
302 Redirect: Temporary redirect. It tells search engines that the content is temporarily located at a different URL.
307 Redirect: Another temporary redirect, used when the request method should not change.
404 Redirect: A default redirect that occurs when the URL is not found. It’s good to set up custom 404 redirects to guide users to a helpful page instead.
The KeyTrack Configuration feature in the SEO Repair Kit provides streamlined keyword tracking by collecting key metrics and notifying you of any significant changes. Here’s how it operates:
Keyword Selection: Choose specific keywords you want to monitor. This could include core keywords for your site or high-priority terms that impact your SEO strategy.
Data Collection: KeyTrack pulls essential data for each keyword—such as ranking, impressions, clicks, and CTR—directly from Google Search Console and any other linked sources, providing comprehensive insights into performance.
Threshold-Based Alerts: Set custom thresholds, like receiving alerts for position changes, declines in CTR, or any shifts in impressions. These notifications keep you informed and allow you to take action when performance changes occur.
Clear Performance Visualization: The interactive KeyTrack dashboard shows each keyword’s performance history in a user-friendly view, making it easy to see trends and patterns. You can analyze shifts over time, measure the success of your SEO efforts, and make strategic adjustments.
Image ALT text (alternative text) is a short, descriptive text added to images that explains their content. It helps search engines understand what an image represents and allows screen readers to describe images to visually impaired users.
Introduction to Image ALT Text:
Images enhance visual appeal, but without ALT text, they remain invisible to search engines and assistive technologies. The Image ALT Text feature in SEO Repair Kit automatically identifies images missing ALT attributes. It provides an easy way to add or update them—without manual searching or technical effort.
Why It Matters:
Missing ALT text can negatively affect both SEO and accessibility. Search engines rely on ALT text to index images properly, while users with screen readers depend on it to understand visual content. By optimizing image ALT text, you:
Image Alt Text is an essential feature for improving both the accessibility and SEO of your website. By adding descriptive alternative text to your images, you help search engines index your content more effectively and ensure that users with visual impairments can understand what the images represent.
In the SEO Repair Kit plugin, you can easily review images that lack alt text and manually assign descriptive text to them, making sure your website adheres to SEO best practices.

Add or edit your Meta Title, Meta Description, and other SEO settings.
Save or update the page — your metadata will be applied automatically.
Meta Manager helps you control how your pages appear in search engines without editing code or theme files.
How It Works
The 404 Monitor in the SEO Repair Kit plugin automatically tracks requests made to URLs that do not exist on your website.
When a visitor or search engine attempts to open a page that cannot be found, the server returns a 404 status code. The plugin detects this response and records the request in the 404 Monitor log.
This process runs automatically in the background and does not require any manual setup.
Error Detection Process
The 404 Monitor works through the following process:
A user or search engine visits a URL on your website.
WordPress checks whether the requested page exists.
If the page cannot be found, WordPress returns a 404 error response.
The SEO Repair Kit plugin detects this response.
The plugin logs the error in the 404 Monitor database.
The recorded information becomes visible in the 404 Monitor dashboard.
This allows administrators to identify broken URLs and take corrective action.
What Information Is Collected
When a 404 error occurs, the system records important details to help identify the issue.
The logged data may include:
The requested broken URL
The referrer page (where the broken link originated)
The number of times the error occurred
The date and time of the latest request
The visitor IP address (if enabled)
This information helps administrators determine the cause of the error.
These options are ideal for large websites and dynamic URLs.
Step 5: Monitor Redirect Hits & Performance
Each redirect tracks how many times it has been used.
You can:
Identify most-hit redirects
Analyze redirect effectiveness
Detect unnecessary or outdated redirects
This helps optimize both SEO and performance.
Step 6: Manage Redirect Status
You can:
Activate or deactivate redirects
Edit source or target URLs
Delete unused redirects
This keeps your redirection system clean and efficient.
Step 7: Handle 404 Errors Proactively
The system automatically detects 404 errors.
You can:
View broken URLs
Create redirects directly from detected errors
Prevent repeated crawl issues

Step-by-Step Guide
This guide explains how to use the 404 Monitor in the SEO Repair Kit plugin to identify and manage broken URLs on your website.
Follow the steps below to monitor and analyze 404 errors.
Step 1 – Access the 404 Monitor
Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
In the left navigation menu, locate SEO Repair Kit.
Click on 404 Monitor.
Navigation path: Dashboard → SEO Repair Kit → 404 Monitor
Step 2 – View the 404 Error Logs
The 404 Monitor dashboard displays a list of all detected broken URLs on your website.
Each entry in the list represents a 404 error request that has been recorded by the plugin when a user or search engine attempts to access a page that does not exist.
For every logged error, the system provides several important details to help you understand the issue.
The URL field shows the page address that returned the 404 error.
The Referrer indicates the page where the broken link originated. This helps identify whether the error is coming from an internal page on your website or an external source.
The Hits value represents how many times the broken URL has been accessed. A higher number of hits may indicate that the issue needs immediate attention.
The Last Accessed information shows the most recent time the error occurred.
Step 3 – Identify the Source of the Error
After reviewing the error logs, the next step is to determine why the 404 error is occurring.
You can identify the source of the problem by checking the Referrer information and the requested URL. This helps you understand where the broken link originated and what might be causing the issue.
In many cases, 404 errors occur because a page has been deleted, the URL structure has changed, or a link was entered incorrectly.
Common causes of 404 errors include:
Internal links pointing to pages that no longer exist
External websites linking to incorrect URLs
Pages that were moved without setting up a redirect
Typographical errors in URLs
Old URLs still indexed by search engines
Step 4 – Fix the Broken URL
Once you understand the cause of the error, you can take the appropriate action to resolve it.
If the broken link is coming from inside your website, you can edit the content and update the link with the correct URL.
If the page has been moved or renamed, it is recommended to create a redirect from the old URL to the new one. Redirects ensure that visitors and search engines are automatically sent to the correct page.
In some cases, the page may have been deleted accidentally. If the content is still important, you may choose to restore or recreate the page.
Taking the correct action will help prevent visitors from encountering broken pages and will maintain a better user experience.
Step 5 – Monitor and Maintain
After fixing the issue, it is important to continue monitoring the 404 Monitor logs.
Regularly checking the logs allows you to detect new broken links and resolve them quickly. This practice helps maintain the overall health of your website.
By monitoring 404 errors consistently, you can:
Improve user experience
Maintain better SEO performance
Prevent search engines from indexing broken pages
Keep your website structure clean and organized

FAQs
What is a 404 error?
A 404 error occurs when a user or search engine tries to access a page that does not exist on the website. This usually happens when a page has been deleted, moved, or the URL was entered incorrectly.
Why are 404 errors important for SEO?
404 errors can negatively affect user experience and SEO performance if they occur frequently. Broken pages may prevent users from accessing content and can reduce the overall quality of your website in the eyes of search engines.
How does the 404 Monitor detect errors?
The 404 Monitor automatically tracks requests made to pages that do not exist. When WordPress returns a 404 status response, the plugin records the request and stores the information in the 404 Monitor logs.
Where can I find the 404 error logs?
You can view the detected 404 errors in your WordPress Dashboard by navigating to:
Dashboard → SEO Repair Kit → 404 Monitor
This page displays all logged 404 error requests.
What should I do when I find a 404 error?
When you detect a 404 error, you should first identify the cause. If the page has moved, you can create a redirect to the correct URL. If the link is incorrect, update it within your content. In some cases, restoring the missing page may also solve the issue.
How often should I check the 404 Monitor?
It is recommended to review the 404 Monitor logs regularly, especially after making major changes to your website such as updating URLs, removing pages, or restructuring content.
Regular monitoring helps ensure that broken links are resolved quickly.
Will fixing 404 errors improve my website?
Yes. Resolving broken links improves user experience, helps search engines crawl your website more efficiently, and supports better SEO performance.

Link Scanner is URLs on your website that no longer lead to a valid destination. These can be internal links pointing to removed pages or external links leading to websites that no longer exist. While they often go unnoticed, broken links can negatively impact both user experience and search engine performance.
Introduction to Link Scanner:
As websites grow and content changes over time, links naturally become outdated. Pages get deleted, URLs change, and external websites shut down. Manually tracking these broken links is time-consuming and error-prone. This feature automates the entire process, ensuring no broken link goes undetected.
Why It Matters:
Broken links frustrate visitors, increase bounce rates, and signal poor site quality to search engines. They can silently weaken your SEO and reduce user trust. By identifying and fixing broken links early, you create a smoother browsing experience, improve crawlability, and maintain a healthy, professional website.
Requirements:
The plugin must be installed and activated
Permission to scan site pages and posts
An active internet connection for checking external links
No technical knowledge or coding skills required
How It Works
Link Scanning:
The feature automatically scans your entire website, including pages, posts, and embedded links. It checks each link’s status to determine whether it’s active, redirected, or broken—covering both internal and external URLs.
Link Reporting:
Once the scan is complete, all detected broken links are organized into a clear, easy-to-read report. Each entry shows where the broken link appears, its destination, and its status, allowing you to quickly understand and prioritize fixes.
Manual Detection:
In addition to automated scans, you can manually trigger a scan at any time. This is especially useful after publishing new content or making major updates, ensuring broken links are caught immediately.
Fixing Broken Links:
From the report dashboard, you can fix broken links in just a few clicks. Update the URL, remove the link, or redirect it to a working page—no coding or technical setup required.
Proactive Monitoring:
The feature works proactively to help prevent future issues. Regular scans ensure new broken links are identified early, keeping your website healthy, user-friendly, and SEO-optimized without constant manual checks.
From your SEO Repair Kit dashboard, open the Link Scanner tab. This is the main workspace where you can scan, review, and fix broken links across your site.
Step 2: Review the Overview Cards
At the top of the dashboard, you’ll see a quick summary of your site’s link health:
Total Links Checked Shows how many links have been scanned during the current or last scan.
Broken Links Detected Displays the total number and percentage of links returning errors (such as 404).
Healthy Links Confirms how many links are working correctly.
Automation Status Indicates whether scans are being run manually or automatically.
These cards give you an instant health check before diving into details.
Step 3: Select What You Want to Scan
Use the Select Post Type dropdown to choose which content to scan, such as:
Posts
Pages
Or other supported content types
This lets you focus scans on specific areas of your website.
Step 4: Start the Scan
Click the Start Scan button to begin scanning the selected content.
The scanner checks internal and external links
Each link is tested for availability and error responses
Progress is shown in real time
Step 5: Monitor Scan Progress
During the scan, a progress bar appears with a status message such as “Scan complete!” once finished.
You’ll also see:
Total links scanned
Completion percentage
Time of the last scan
This confirms the scan has completed.
Step 6: Review Broken Links Found
Scroll down to the Broken Links Found table to see detailed results.
Each row includes:
Post Title – Where the broken link appears
Type – Content type (e.g., Post)
Status – Publication status
Broken Link URL – The actual failing link
Redirect Action – Option to redirect the broken link
Link Text – Anchor text used in the content
Edit Icon – Quickly edit the source content
HTTP Status Code – Error type (e.g., 404)
This makes it easy to understand exactly where and why each issue exists.
Step 7: Fix or Redirect Broken Links
For each broken link, you can take action directly from the table:
Edit the link to update it with a correct URL
Redirect the link to a relevant working page
Remove the link if it’s no longer needed
All actions are performed without writing any code.
Step 8: Export the Report (Optional)
Click Download CSV to export the broken links report.
This is useful for:
Sharing with team members
Tracking fixes
Maintaining audit records
Step 9: Re-scan to Confirm Fixes
After fixing broken links, run another scan to confirm:
Errors are resolved
Your site is fully healthy
No new broken links exist
Regular re-scans help maintain strong SEO and user experience.
Step 10: Maintain Ongoing Link Health
Repeat scans whenever you:
Publish new content
Update existing pages
Migrate or delete URLs
This ensures broken links never silently damage your SEO again.

Redirection is the process of automatically sending visitors and search engines from one URL to another. This is especially important when pages are deleted, URLs are changed, or content is moved. Without proper redirection, users may land on error pages, and valuable SEO equity can be lost.
SEO Repair Kit’s Redirection feature allows you to create and manage redirects easily, ensuring a smooth user experience and protecting your site’s search engine rankings.
Requirements:
SEO Repair Kit plugin installed and activated
WordPress admin access
Existing or planned URL changes
No coding knowledge required
Access:
You can access the Redirection feature by navigating to:
WordPress Dashboard → SEO Repair Kit → Redirection
This opens the Redirection Manager, where all redirect rules, logs, and analytics are managed.
Why Use the Redirection Tool?
Using the Redirection tool helps you:
Preserve SEO value when URLs change
Prevent visitors from landing on 404 error pages
Maintain a clean and crawlable site structure
Track redirect usage and performance
Manage redirects professionally without plugin conflicts
What You’ll Learn
In the following sections, we will guide you through:
Installation & Setup: Get started by installing and activating the Redirection feature
How It Works: Understand how redirects are created and managed
Step-by-Step Guide: Learn how to create, monitor, and manage redirects
FAQs: Find answers to common questions and troubleshooting tips
How It Works
The Redirection feature works by mapping old or broken URLs to new, active ones. You can set up redirects manually or allow the system to automatically suggest redirects for deleted or moved pages.
Key Features:
Simple Setup: Allows you to create, edit, and delete redirects quickly.
Automatic 404 Monitoring: Automatically detects 404 errors and allows you to redirect them to the appropriate pages.
Manual Redirects: You have the flexibility to create manual redirects by entering both the old and new URLs.
Redirect Logs: The system keeps track of all your redirects, giving you a history of changes.
Error Tracking: It can also notify you when an error occurs, ensuring your site is always in top shape.
This system ensures that users always find the content they’re looking for, even when the original page has been moved or deleted
How It Benefits SEO:
Preserves Link Equity: Ensures that link value (PageRank) from old URLs is passed on to the new URLs.
Prevents Duplicate Content: Redirecting duplicate pages to the main page avoids search engine penalties.
Improves Site Health: Regularly fixing broken links and redirecting them helps maintain a clean site architecture.
Redirection Works in WordPress:
Redirection involves setting up rules that automatically send users from one URL to another. When someone tries to visit an old URL, the redirection rules trigger, and they are taken to the correct page. There are different types of redirects that can be used:
301 Redirect: Permanent redirect. It indicates that the URL has been moved permanently to a new location. This is the most common type used for SEO.
302 Redirect: Temporary redirect. It tells search engines that the content is temporarily located at a different URL.
307 Redirect: Another temporary redirect, used when the request method should not change.
404 Redirect: A default redirect that occurs when the URL is not found. It’s good to set up custom 404 redirects to guide users to a helpful page instead.
Image ALT text (alternative text) is a short, descriptive text added to images that explains their content. It helps search engines understand what an image represents and allows screen readers to describe images to visually impaired users.
Introduction to Image ALT Text:
Images enhance visual appeal, but without ALT text, they remain invisible to search engines and assistive technologies. The Image ALT Text feature in SEO Repair Kit automatically identifies images missing ALT attributes. It provides an easy way to add or update them—without manual searching or technical effort.
Why It Matters:
Missing ALT text can negatively affect both SEO and accessibility. Search engines rely on ALT text to index images properly, while users with screen readers depend on it to understand visual content. By optimizing image ALT text, you:
Improve image search visibility
Enhance accessibility compliance
Strengthen on-page SEO signals
Create a better experience for all users
Requirements:
SEO Repair Kit plugin installed and activated
Access to the WordPress Media Library
Images uploaded to your website
No coding or technical skills required
Introduction
Image Alt Text is an essential feature for improving both the accessibility and SEO of your website. By adding descriptive alternative text to your images, you help search engines index your content more effectively and ensure that users with visual impairments can understand what the images represent.
In the SEO Repair Kit plugin, you can easily review images that lack alt text and manually assign descriptive text to them, making sure your website adheres to SEO best practices.
How It Works
The Image ALT Text Manager continuously scans your media library to detect images missing ALT attributes. It organizes results into a dedicated dashboard where you can:
View total images and ALT health status
Identify images without ALT text
Add or update ALT text individually or in bulk
Track overall optimization progress with a health score
All actions are performed through a clean, visual interface designed for non-technical users.
Schema Support in SEO Repair Kit helps you add structured data to your website in a simple, accurate, and SEO-friendly way. It allows search engines like Google to better understand your content and display enhanced results such as FAQs, reviews, products, jobs, events, and business details directly in search results.
With the built-in Schema Manager, you can create, manage, and apply schema markup without writing any code. The system uses JSON-LD, Google’s recommended format, and follows schema.org standards to ensure maximum compatibility and reliability.
SEO Repair Kit’s schema support is designed for both beginners and advanced users. You can use pre-built schema templates, dynamically map WordPress fields, preview the generated schema in real time, and validate it to avoid errors before publishing.
Whether you want to apply schema globally across your site or customize it for individual posts and pages, Schema Support in SEO Repair Kit gives you full control—helping improve search visibility, eligibility for rich results, and overall SEO performance.

The 404 Monitor feature in the SEO Repair Kit plugin helps you detect and track 404 errors (Page Not Found) that occur on your website.
A 404 error happens when a user or search engine tries to access a page that does not exist on the server. These errors usually occur when:
A page has been deleted
A URL has been changed
An internal link is broken
Another website links to an incorrect URL
A visitor manually enters the wrong URL
If left unresolved, 404 errors can negatively impact user experience and SEO performance.
What You Can Do with the 404 Monitor
Using the 404 Monitor, you can:
Detect pages that return 404 errors
Track how many times a broken URL is accessed
Identify the source of broken links
Monitor website issues affecting SEO
Fix or redirect broken URLs
This helps maintain a healthy website structure and better search engine rankings.
How It Works
The 404 Monitor in the SEO Repair Kit plugin automatically tracks requests made to URLs that do not exist on your website.
When a visitor or search engine attempts to open a page that cannot be found, the server returns a 404 status code. The plugin detects this response and records the request in the 404 Monitor log.
This process runs automatically in the background and does not require any manual setup.
Error Detection Process
The 404 Monitor works through the following process:
A user or search engine visits a URL on your website.
WordPress checks whether the requested page exists.
If the page cannot be found, WordPress returns a 404 error response.
The SEO Repair Kit plugin detects this response.
The plugin logs the error in the 404 Monitor database.
The recorded information becomes visible in the 404 Monitor dashboard.
This allows administrators to identify broken URLs and take corrective action.
What Information Is Collected
When a 404 error occurs, the system records important details to help identify the issue.
The logged data may include:
The requested broken URL
The referrer page (where the broken link originated)
The number of times the error occurred
The date and time of the latest request
The visitor IP address (if enabled)
This information helps administrators determine the cause of the error.
This guide explains how to use the 404 Monitor in the SEO Repair Kit plugin to identify and manage broken URLs on your website.
Follow the steps below to monitor and analyze 404 errors.
Step 1 – Access the 404 Monitor
Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
In the left navigation menu, locate SEO Repair Kit.
Click on 404 Monitor.
Navigation path: Dashboard → SEO Repair Kit → 404 Monitor
Step 2 – View the 404 Error Logs
The 404 Monitor dashboard displays a list of all detected broken URLs on your website.
Each entry in the list represents a 404 error request that has been recorded by the plugin when a user or search engine attempts to access a page that does not exist.
For every logged error, the system provides several important details to help you understand the issue.
The URL field shows the page address that returned the 404 error.
The Referrer indicates the page where the broken link originated. This helps identify whether the error is coming from an internal page on your website or an external source.
The Hits value represents how many times the broken URL has been accessed. A higher number of hits may indicate that the issue needs immediate attention.
The Last Accessed information shows the most recent time the error occurred.
Step 3 – Identify the Source of the Error
After reviewing the error logs, the next step is to determine why the 404 error is occurring.
You can identify the source of the problem by checking the Referrer information and the requested URL. This helps you understand where the broken link originated and what might be causing the issue.
In many cases, 404 errors occur because a page has been deleted, the URL structure has changed, or a link was entered incorrectly.
Common causes of 404 errors include:
Internal links pointing to pages that no longer exist
External websites linking to incorrect URLs
Pages that were moved without setting up a redirect
Typographical errors in URLs
Old URLs still indexed by search engines
Step 4 – Fix the Broken URL
Once you understand the cause of the error, you can take the appropriate action to resolve it.
If the broken link is coming from inside your website, you can edit the content and update the link with the correct URL.
If the page has been moved or renamed, it is recommended to create a redirect from the old URL to the new one. Redirects ensure that visitors and search engines are automatically sent to the correct page.
In some cases, the page may have been deleted accidentally. If the content is still important, you may choose to restore or recreate the page.
Taking the correct action will help prevent visitors from encountering broken pages and will maintain a better user experience.
Step 5 – Monitor and Maintain
After fixing the issue, it is important to continue monitoring the 404 Monitor logs.
Regularly checking the logs allows you to detect new broken links and resolve them quickly. This practice helps maintain the overall health of your website.
By monitoring 404 errors consistently, you can:
Improve user experience
Maintain better SEO performance
Prevent search engines from indexing broken pages
Keep your website structure clean and organized

Step By Step Guide
Step 1 – Open Meta Manager
First, access the Meta Manager from your WordPress dashboard.
Log in to your WordPress Dashboard.
Navigate to:
Dashboard → SEO Repair Kit → Meta Manager
This section allows you to configure and manage SEO metadata settings for your entire website.
Step 2 – Configure Global Meta Settings
The Global Meta tab allows you to configure default SEO settings that apply across your entire website.
In this section you can configure settings such as:
Title Separator – Defines the symbol used between the page title and site name in search results.
Home Page Metadata – Allows you to define the SEO title and description for your homepage.
Knowledge Graph Settings – Helps search engines understand your website information, such as organization or website details.
These settings serve as the global SEO configuration and will automatically apply across your website unless they are overridden.
Step 3 – Configure Content Type Settings
Next, configure SEO settings for different content types.
Navigate to the Content Types tab.
Configure SEO settings for:
Posts
Pages
Custom Post Types
Here you can define:
Default Meta Title
Meta Description
Other SEO-related metadata settings
These settings will automatically apply to all content belonging to the selected content type.
Step 4 – Configure Taxonomy Settings
You can also define SEO metadata for your taxonomies.
Navigate to the Taxonomies tab.
Configure metadata settings for:
Categories
Tags
Custom Taxonomies
Here you can define default Meta Titles and Meta Descriptions for taxonomy archive pages.
This helps search engines better understand category and tag pages on your website.
Step 5 – Configure Archive Settings
Next, configure SEO settings for archive pages.
Open the Archives tab.
Configure SEO metadata for archive pages such as:
Author Archives
Date Archives
Search Results Pages
Optimizing archive pages improves the structure and indexability of your website.
Step 6 – Save Your Settings
After configuring the required settings:
Click Save Changes.
Your settings will now be saved and applied globally across your website.
These global settings ensure that SEO metadata is automatically generated for relevant pages.
Step 7 – Override Global Settings on Individual Pages
Although global settings apply automatically, you can still customize metadata for specific pages or posts.
To do this:
Open any Post or Page in the editor.
Scroll down to the Meta Manager SEO panel.
This panel is available in:
Gutenberg Editor
Elementor Editor
From this panel, you can:
Edit the Meta Title
Add a custom Meta Description
Configure Advanced Robots Meta settings
When custom metadata is added to a page, it will override the global settings for that specific page only.
