You don’t need a plugin to achieve your goal. Use server redirect in the .htaccess file because it will not load the processor to interpret the WordPress PHP code and will not consume time. The redirect will be completed before the WordPress runs. RewriteRule ^[0-9]+/[0-9]+/(.*)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L] Where [0-9]+/ is the numeric year and month … Read more
To properly set the title tag in a theme you shouldn’t put it in header.php manually. Your header.php should have wp_head() somewhere between <head></head>, then you can let WordPress set the title tag by adding support for title-tag to your theme: function wpse_304818_theme_setup() { add_theme_support( ‘title-tag’ ); } add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘wpse_304818_theme_setup’ );

Try adding this to the functions.php at your old domain: remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘rel_canonical’ ); add_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘new_rel_canonical’ ); function new_rel_canonical() { if ( !is_singular() ) return; global $wp_the_query; if ( !$id = $wp_the_query->get_queried_object_id() ) … Read more
WordPress select template, following its Template Hierarchy logic. What you have that is category archive, templates for individual pages are never considered for it. Also.. with the view of SEO, page.php is more important then category.php.. right? PHP template file is entirely back-end concepts, it doesn’t have anything to do with SEO inherently.

The idea is to change the values of title and/or description depending if you meet some condition. So your code will look to somthing like this: add_filter(‘wpseo_metadesc’,’custom_meta’); function custom_meta( $desc ){ if (/* do your test here to check … Read more
