Sabai Directory Compatibility

It would be great if SEO Ultimate can be made compatible. Looking for a solution too.

Thanks Guys:

Have you contacted the other plugin author as well? Please understand that trying to ensure that every plugin will work with other plugins is a never-ending battle, depending on who is using which hook or how things are coded.

Especially, since this is a free plugin (and our dev team is not) ?? and so, we may have to simply put a version on github and let the community code solutions for this (since I am uncertain if the plugin you refer to is free, paid, etc).

We will put this on the list for review for the next round, but, please understand that plugin collisions should be addressed by both authors, so, please contact them as well, so, they are also aware.

Noted and we will review shortly. It could merely be a module (which you can disable on SEO Ultimate) as well. But, without peeling into the code, I’d rather not speculate.

Thanks Jeffrey :).

I have already contacted the author of Sabai Directory and they are working on it. Infact they have sent me a dev version of the upcoming release that should work with SEO Ultimate. I have not had a chance to test it out but should be able to do it today or tomorrow.

It’s in the Canonical url part they are stuck. To quote
“However, we have yet to find a solution for canonical URLs since the plugin does not offer many filters to hook into. We will keep you updated.”

I am sure you would have been asked many times but have you considered having a premium version of the plugin or a paid support for those who require it?

SEO Ultimate is the only plugin that i have been using for a long long time so i would not def mind having to upgrade to a paid version or maybe pay to get something sorted.

@praveen:

Thank you for your quick response. We are preparing to launch a premium version of SEO Ultimate (initially as premium support)as well as some additional features.

It’s the dilemma that anyone faces (justification of dev time to ROI) and by making a plugin premium, it allows us to scale development, resolve issues quicker and in fact give everyone a better product.

Feel free to let me know which areas are colliding and we can always revise SEO Ultimate using the enable / disable module functionality.

That was the original plan so if someone was using a plugin that already had functionality, then they could simply disable / toggle that module off. However, over the years, the issue of collisions is more rampant (due to the surge of plugins all coding with different standards).

So, having said that, thank you and our lead developer will review as well, but we will look at some of the older modules and rethink ways to enable a more modular approach.

The canonical feature was written when Google implemented it years ago, so, we did implement URL conflict resolution, so, we will revisit to ensure that it plays well with others and the current WP core hooks.

All the best and thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Hi Praveen .. Any luck with testing the dev release? Thank you Jeffery for your comments and offer of support. I hope that some progress has been made on this.
