1339108 - Add Yoast SEO Tools to Blog

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Websites Graveyard :: blog.mozilla.org, defect)

Description

[pgerman]

Can we install this plugin on blog.mozilla.org? It would be best to have this on all our blogs if possible, if not, I can provide a prioritized list.

https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wordpress-seo.zip

It will provide authors with feedback on how to optimize their posts for important search terms and become more self-sufficient.

This plugin is already installed and active on a few other blogs, but we can easily activate it on more. It's running on Internet Citizen currently so that may be a good reference point and we can ask MJ Kelly if it's proven useful there. 

Some of the features Yoast adds don't really do much beyond what we've already built into the Frontierline and One Mozilla themes (though it's good for other themes that may be less engine-friendly) but the content tips alone might be worth having if it helps authors. It's pretty configurable so we can disable the bits we don't need.

Yoast SEO has been activated for these blogs:

The Mozilla Blog, https://blog.mozilla.org/
Open Policy & Advocacy, https://blog.mozilla.org/netpolicy/
Open Design, https://blog.mozilla.org/opendesign/

We can activate it for others as needed but this is a good first batch.

Thanks Craig. I'll send out a note to Salky to walk his group how to use the plugin.
