Lightweight, powerful SEO for WordPress — control your meta titles, descriptions, Open Graph tags and more. No bloat, just results.

== Description ==

**WP Smart SEO** gives you full control over how your content appears in search engines and on social media — without the overhead of a massive SEO suite.

Whether you run a blog, a business website or an online shop: every page, post and category gets its own SEO fields, and you decide exactly what the world sees.

= What WP Smart SEO generates for you =

For every **Page, Post and Category**, the plugin automatically outputs:

* `og:type`, `og:title`, `og:description`, `og:image` — for perfect Facebook & LinkedIn previews
* `twitter:title`, `twitter:description`, `twitter:image` — for crisp Twitter/X cards
* **Meta Robots Tag** — fine-grained control with `index`, `follow`, `noindex`, `nofollow`

= 🤖 AI Clipboard Buttons =

Working with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini? With a single click, WP Smart SEO copies your page text, blog post or product description — together with a ready-made prompt — straight to your clipboard. Paste it into your favourite AI and get an optimised SEO text in seconds.

*Mit einem Klick den Seiteninhalt inklusive Prompt in die Zwischenablage kopieren und direkt in die lieblings-KI eingeben — SEO-Texte schneller als je zuvor.*

= 🌍 Multilingual =

WP Smart SEO is available in **English** and **German** — more languages welcome via the WordPress translation community.

= 🔍 SEO Overview in Post & Page Lists =

Your SEO titles and descriptions are shown directly in the WordPress post and page overview — so you can spot missing or weak SEO texts at a glance, without opening every single entry.

= ✏️ Smart Auto-Fill =

When you enter the page title, it is automatically pre-filled into the SEO title field — saving you time while still letting you customise it whenever you need to.

= 📏 Character Counter =

Built-in character counters for title and description fields help you stay within the recommended lengths for Google — no guesswork required.

= Recommended companion plugins =

* Need a sitemap? → [Simple XML Sitemap Generator](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-xml-sitemap-generator/)
* Need Google Analytics? → [Quick Google Analytics](https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/quick-google-analytics/)

== Installation ==

1. Upload or install the plugin through the WordPress plugin directory.
2. Activate it under **Plugins → Installed Plugins**.
3. Open any post, page or category and fill in the SEO fields in the meta box.
4. That's it — your meta tags are live.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this plugin conflict with Yoast SEO or other SEO plugins? =
It is recommended to use only one SEO plugin at a time to avoid duplicate meta tags.

= Can I migrate from the old wpseo.de plugin? =
Yes — since v1.4.9 there is a migration path. See the changelog for details.

= Is the plugin translation-ready? =
Yes. English and German are included. Additional translations can be contributed via the WordPress translation platform.
