Optimizing your blog’s search engine ranking has one clear meaning - improving your website’s performance to drive traffic from Google, Bing and other search engines. Yet at the same time, it means many things all at once.

SEO means analyzing search engine performance. It means finding and fixing broken links, having a functioning sitemap and filled-in meta data. SEO plugins cannot do this all on their own, but a good companion should make it easy to identify problems. And that is where WP Meta SEO comes in.

The WordPress plugin recently celebrated a new major release. In version 4.0, the focus turned exclusively towards an improved user experience that prioritizes SEO management.

It is tough to imagine how just a year ago, Gutenberg was frowned upon - a needless plugin, riddled with bugs. Two weeks from now, WordPress sees its much expected major release, while Gutenberg’s incremental changes have done away with the initial worries.

The past month has seen two releases of Gutenberg, WordPress 5.0’s upcoming editor. The plugin itself has seen a major release with version 4.0, although the changes are converging to a single point. The novelties have mostly targeted the rough edges to make the upcoming editor ready for release.

WP Media Folder is one of the most complete plugins that you can find for WordPress when you need to manage all your files, one of the things you can do with this plugin is Embed and manage Videos and PDF in the WordPress Media Manager.

Wordpress publication planning option are pretty poor, thanks to PublishPress plugin you have many other options such as: a calendar to see all your planned content, personalized notifications to keep your team up to date on what is happening, editorial comments where people who see your articles can leave your feedback, custom statuses to see the content that is in your publishing workflow, you can add metadata to give more information to your team about each post and more.

For better or for worse, Gutenberg is set to accompany the major release of WordPress, replacing the existing editor. If change does not sound too appealing, the Classic Editor has been re-created as a plugin. Notwithstanding the feeling of nostalgia, Gutenberg has seen incremental updates that deserve a chance.
