About this plugin

Website: digiter.org | Full version / Shop

Digiter SEO Compass Lite provides a focused set of local SEO controls for WordPress. Add a manual SEO title and meta description to public posts, pages and supported public custom post types. Configure homepage metadata from a single settings page.

The plugin uses WordPress’ built-in XML sitemap. It excludes password-protected posts and respects content marked noindex by Digiter SEO Compass. Public author archive URLs are excluded unless you enable them. WordPress continues to control site visibility and excludes drafts and private content.

Features:

  • Manual SEO titles and descriptions in a native panel for the block and classic editors.
  • Optional homepage title and description.
  • Title variables: %title%, %site%, %tagline% and %sep%.
  • Pagination-aware manual titles.
  • Controls for the native WordPress XML sitemap, including optional author URLs.
  • Automatic pause when a recognized SEO plugin is active, to avoid duplicate output.
  • No account, license key, trial period or usage quota.
  • No telemetry or external requests made by this plugin.

Search engines decide how pages are indexed and displayed. This plugin does not guarantee rankings or the exact title or description used in search results. Themes should support WordPress’ document-title API.

The separate commercial Digiter SEO Compass edition is available from Digiter. Use the Buy full version button on the Lite settings page to open the matching product in Digiter Shop. Its advanced tools are not included in this ZIP. Every feature included in Lite is available without payment. Use one edition at a time.

Privacy

Settings and metadata are stored in the site’s WordPress database. Lite does not contact Digiter, require registration or send analytics. WordPress may contact WordPress.org for its normal update and translation services. Opening documentation or shop links is a user-initiated visit to digiter.org.

Compatibility and data

Lite uses the same _dsm_title and _dsm_description post-meta keys as Digiter SEO Compass 5.1.5. Existing manual post titles and descriptions can be reused when switching editions. Lite has its own homepage settings. It does not migrate advanced settings or provide commercial features. Back up the site before switching SEO plugins.

When a recognized SEO plugin is active, Lite pauses its metadata output, editor panel and sitemap filters. This is a compatibility safeguard, not a paid feature restriction.

Deleting Lite removes its settings for the current site but deliberately retains manual post metadata so SEO copy is not lost when changing editions. On multisite, settings on other sites are retained.

Buy the Full version from WordPress

Administrators can open Full version under the plugin menu or use Buy Full version on the Plugins screen. Open Digiter Shop, choose Digiter SEO Compass, review the current price and renewal terms, and complete checkout on digiter.org. Recurring plans require a verified Digiter Account. Download the Full ZIP and license from the order or Customer Account. Back up your site, test on staging, deactivate Lite, and install the Full ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. Activate the license in the Full plugin’s License screen.

Manual SEO title and description metadata use compatible keys. Other settings and advanced features may differ; review them after switching editions.

All Lite features remain free. These are ordinary optional links: Lite makes no new external requests and never downloads or installs premium code. Full version documentation.
