When we talk about Thesis wordpress theme, the first thing comes into our mind is SEO. Thesis is said to be the best framework for SEO. Some people might not believe it, but after using Thesis on coupe on blog, I can see the difference and can say It’s true.
Though All in one SEO wordpress plugin, is one essential plugin for Wordpress SEO. Thesis has inbuilt option for entire required field for SEO optimization of any post.
Should we Disable ALL in One SEO while using Thesis?
This is the question asked by Himanshu in my previous post on Thesis wordpress theme:
An overview of Thesis design and control panel
In simple word no, there is two option we have
- Use All in one SEO settings
- Use Thesis SEO settings
The first option sounds good to me, but why to burden your blog with one more plugin, when the option is inside your Theme file.
What about ALL in One SEO data for old blog post?
We can Transfer all old ALL in one SEO detail for individual post into your Thesis post and Forget about All in one SEO plugin.
How to Transfer All in one SEO settings into Thesis SEO settings?
This can easily be done by running 3 SQL queries in your phpmyadmin. If you use Dreamhost webhosting, You can access phpmyadmin using my previous tutorial
Access phpmyadmin in Dreamhost
For other webhosting companies, please refer to your web hosting wiki page.
1. Take Backup of your database
2. Disable All in one SEO
3. Login to your phpmyadmin, select your Wordpress blog database, and click on SQL
Now Run Following queries:
insert wp_postmeta (post_id,meta_key,meta_value) select post_id, concat('thesis_',meta_key),meta_value from wp_postmeta where meta_key in ('title','description','keywords');
You will get success prompt after making these changes. Now crosscheck by opening any of your old blog post and check the Keyword and meta value.

Thanks Harsh, I got my answer.:-)
One may also use the WP-DBManager plug-in for taking the back-ups and doing SQL queries. It makes the task much easier for newbies.

Good point Ashutosh. Wp Db manager is also very useful for running SQL queries.
Moreover I like it’s feature of maintaining database.

Currently I am thinking of changing my blogs theme and considering to buy Thesis theme. After reading your post about the SEO benifits I have decide to go for it. Thanks

But what if you want to switch to a different theme in say, 2 years? You’ll lose all the SEO settings because you’ve disabled the All in One SEO and move it to Thesis
.-= Michael Aulia ´s last blog ..Community Spotlight at BlogEngage =-.
Why do you have to remove the All in One SEO settings? I am not good with MySQL and will not mess with it. In the past Ive totally pooched a couple of sites, even with what is supposed to be simple SQL issues.
I do use and like Thesis. I’m trying to decide, is it best to disable any SEO plugins or not.
Thanks
Thank you!
Just started working with Thesis and this really made my transition really easy.
Very simple to do and it worked great the very first time
Also, I never used the all in one plugin, I use the Platinum SEO Pack and it worked just the same.
All the best

What to do if following error comes while executing the above sql query ?
Error
SQL query: Documentation
INSERT wp_postmeta(
post_id,
meta_key,
meta_value
)
SELECT post_id, concat( ‘thesis_’, meta_key ) , meta_value
FROM wp_postmeta
WHERE meta_key
IN (
‘title’, ‘description’, ‘keywords’
)
MySQL said: Documentation
#1146 – Table ‘tweetmedaily.wp_postmeta’ doesn’t exist
Thesis theme is just another SEO optimized themes on the net, yet without it every one can be very successful in SEO, if SEO is measured with the amount of visitors through organic search then it’s safe for us to throw Thesis away or put it into garbage can, because why would we spend $87 or $164 for a theme if with a free theme we can have thousands of thousands of visitors everyday via G or Y! ? Well I highly not recommend thesis to anyone if their premise based on with Thesis every SEO thing will will be a lot easier
And your blog get high traffic it’s not because Thesis it is because you know SEO that’s all
