You may may see a notice that your user account can’t access certain fields in the plugin
The reason for this is that users need to have the WordPress unfiltered_html capability in order to access these fields. This is for security purposes.
Make sure your user has this role or use another user account to edit these fields.
The post Unfiltered HTML Capability is Required first appeared on AIOSEO.Some configurations of NGINX require rewrite rules to be added to the NGINX configuration file.
If you’re getting a 404 Page Not Found error for your XML Sitemap, RSS Sitemap or Video Sitemap on NGINX, then please add the following rewrite rules in your NGINX config file.
NOTE: If you don’t know what to do with these, then you’ll need to contact your hosting company for support.
rewrite ^/video-sitemap.xml$ /index.php?aiosp_video_sitemap_path=root last; rewrite ^/video-sitemap.xml.gz$ /index.php?aiosp_video_sitemap_path=root last; rewrite ^/(.+)-video-sitemap.xml$ /index.php?aiosp_video_sitemap_path=$1 last; rewrite ^/(.+)-video-sitemap.xml.gz$ /index.php?aiosp_video_sitemap_path=$1 last; rewrite ^/(.+)-video-sitemap(d+).xml$ /index.php?aiosp_video_sitemap_path=$1&aiosp_sitemap_page=$2 last; rewrite ^/(.+)-video-sitemap(d+).xml.gz$ /index.php?aiosp_video_sitemap_path=$1&aiosp_sitemap_page=$2 last; rewrite ^/sitemap.xml$ /index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=root last; rewrite ^/sitemap.xml.gz$ /index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=root last; rewrite ^/(.+)-sitemap.xml$ /index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=$1 last; rewrite ^/(.+)-sitemap.xml.gz$ /index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=$1 last; rewrite ^/(.+)-sitemap(d+).xml$ /index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=$1&aiosp_sitemap_page=$2 last; rewrite ^/(.+)-sitemap(d+).xml.gz$ /index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=$1&aiosp_sitemap_page=$2 last; rewrite ^/sitemap.rss$ /index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=rss last; rewrite ^/sitemap.latest.rss$ /index.php?aiosp_sitemap_path=rss_latest last;
NOTE: The Video Sitemap rules must always come before the XML Sitemap rules.
You might also need to use these rewrite rules if /sitemap.xml keeps redirecting to you to /sitemap_index.xml, which is the sitemap slug of a competing SEO plugin. You’ll also need to remove the rewrite rules for that specific plugin.
*These rules will work for 99% of users. In some cases, such as if you have WordPress installed in a subdirectory, there may be modifications you’ll need to make.
If this doesn’t work for you, then please contact us.
The post Sitemap rewrite rules for NGINX first appeared on AIOSEO.You may have noticed that there’s no longer a Keywords field in the All in One SEO settings when you edit your content.
This is because the field has been moved to the Advanced tab as shown below.
We’ve moved it here because for the majority of users, this field has no value in their SEO efforts. Most search engines stopped using meta keywords well over ten years ago and the only search engine that still uses them is Yandex in Russia.
So if you’re not concerned with ranking in Yandex for Russian searches, you don’t need to worry about the Keywords field under Advanced.

}If you’re seeing a notice in All in One SEO about Blank title formats, then this article will help you determine if you need to take action.
The reason for this notice is because in Version 3.x of All in One SEO, you had removed the strings from Title Format fields. The Title Format fields should look like this:
When the strings seen above are deleted from these fields, All in One SEO can no longer output SEO titles for your content. This means that WordPress, not All in One SEO, is generating the SEO titles.
When you update to version 4.x of All in One SEO, we migrate settings which include empty Title Format fields.
When you edit your content and see that SEO titles you’d set weren’t migrated, then this would explain why.
For example, if the Page Title Format field in All in One SEO v3.x is blank, then it means All in One SEO is not outputting any SEO titles for your Pages, regardless of what you set on each individual Page.
When you update to v4.x, the SEO titles for your Pages are not migrated and will be empty. Instead, WordPress will be generating the SEO titles, just like it was doing before you updated.
If you want to use All in One to set your SEO titles then follow these steps:
Go to All in One SEO » Search Appearance » Content Types and scroll down to the section for the content you want to change, for example: Pages.
In the Title field, use the tags to set the format for your SEO titles and click Save Changes.
If you want to set individual SEO titles for each item of content, then edit the content and enter your SEO title in the AIOSEO Details section.
If you want to migrate the SEO titles you’d set in version 3.x then you will need to contact us for assistance here.
