  1. WARNING! Just removed the title tags in the Header.php and replaced them
    with the one that is in the video. The page doesn´t work anymore. 

  2. I swapped back to the original header.php and it works again.. Will try and
    watch another tutorial-video instead..

  3. Hi Steve. Thanks for the video. How long after I make these changes will
    my rank start going up? Thanks again.

  4. Steve, is it best not to use more than one seo plugin in a wordpress site?

  11. Hi Steve,
    Thank you for your great tutorial! I wanted to include XML sitemap but I
    get a 404 not found message. How can I fix the issue? Thank you so much!

  12. Thanks for this easy to follow and understand video, Steve. I’d tried
    Yoast’s and 2 other “how to’s” before learning about yours on the WordPress
    forum. That actually sent me to an earlier one, pre-current plugin update,
    but searching your list of videos led me here. Now I feel I have set up the
    plugin properly! Your instructional style is excellent. Really appreciate
    your sharing this with all of us not-so-technical types!
    Linda
