The SEO News Blog from Pat Marcello

I really like the WordPress plugin HeadSpace2.  It’s easy to use and much quicker than using All-in-One SEO, but let me tell you…

I installed it and have been using it for the past few weeks. I decided that I liked HeadSpace2 a lot better than All-in-One because I have very little time, and it saves me a ton of time. So, I uninstalled All-in-One…

HUGE mistake!

I lost all of the titles and descriptions to every post for the past two years that I’d done with All-in-One. Argh! That’s like 325 posts!

So, I’m going back, and one-by-one adding the titles and descriptions back in. It’s pretty quick because I’m using HeadSpace2, but it will still take me several days to get it all done. GRrrrrr….

Here’s the deal: All-in-One will run with HeadSpace2, so if you want to switch over, just don’t uninstall All-in-One. Don’t use it, but let it sit on your blog so that it won’t lose all your information. You don’t have to see it.

Just go to the upper right-hand corner of WordPress 2.7.1 and click on “Screen Options,” then unselect “All-in-One SEO” and you won’t see it again.

Thanks to Brent over at ListBuildingNexus.com, who pointed this issue out.  Luckily, it is fixable.

   Thanks SO much for the warning Pat. I’m glad I hadn’t gotten around to uninstalling All-in-One SEO yet. One of the few times my procrastination has paid off!

   Thanks for always being on top of things and always sharing.
