Lightweight on-page SEO controls for titles, descriptions, canonical URLs and robots directives inside the WordPress block editor.

== Description ==

Ansar SEO gives WordPress users the essential on-page SEO controls they need without the complexity or performance overhead of a large SEO suite.

Optimize posts, pages and supported public post types directly inside Gutenberg.

= Core features =

* Custom SEO title
* Meta description
* Canonical URL
* Index and noindex controls
* Follow and nofollow controls
* Live title and description length feedback
* Native Gutenberg document sidebar panel
* Lightweight frontend output
* No frontend CSS or JavaScript
* Backward-compatible fallback for previous Ultra SEO post meta

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `ansar-seo` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate Ansar SEO from the Plugins screen.
3. Open a post or page in the block editor.
4. Expand the Ansar SEO panel in the document settings sidebar.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does Ansar SEO support the block editor? =

Yes. Its on-page SEO controls are integrated into the Gutenberg document sidebar.

= Does it support canonical URLs? =

Yes. A custom canonical URL can be set for each supported content item.

= Does it add frontend assets? =

No. Ansar SEO outputs metadata in the document head and does not load frontend CSS or JavaScript.

= What happens to existing Ultra SEO data? =

Ansar SEO reads legacy `_ultra_seo_*` post meta when corresponding Ansar SEO data has not yet been saved. This avoids a heavy database migration.

= Does uninstalling remove SEO metadata? =

No. SEO metadata is preserved to prevent accidental data loss.
