Stallion SEO WordPress Theme Support

WordPress SEO Plugins

Only have experience of plugins I’ve used and don’t use those plugins, these are plugins I use:

WordPress SEO Plugins some of it’s out of date, for example since adding the WordPress SEO Posts widget to Stallion no longer need the Most Popular Posts WordPress Plugin, the Stallion version is better. There’s a newer version of Contextual Related Posts SEO Version just for Stallion at the next link below.

WordPress SEO Plugins work in progress.

Modifying Stallion Business Child Theme CSS

Problem is you’ve selected a white background header image which doesn’t work very well with the dark background business colour scheme. It’s a nice a header image as well, I use it with the built in lighter Stallion colour schemes.

Currently there’s no option to change font colours via an easy to use options page (something I want to add in a future update), there is a work around (see later).

Easiest solution is choose a different header image with a darker background.

Alternatively edit the file

/stallion-child-business/colors/style-business-st.css

.h1disc h1 a:link, .h1disc h1 a:visited, .h1disc span a:link, .h1disc span a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #eee;
}
.h1disc h1 a:hover, .h1disc h1 a:active, .h1disc span a:hover, .h1disc span a:active {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFA500;
}

Change the two color: codes (this bit #eee) to whatever colours you want (loads of websites online with websafe color codes, #000000 is black for example), first one is non-hoverover and the second is hoverover.

If you don’t want to edit files you can use this code

<style type="text/css">.h1disc h1 a:link, .h1disc h1 a:visited, .h1disc span a:link, .h1disc span a:visited {
color: #eee;
}
.h1disc h1 a:hover, .h1disc h1 a:active, .h1disc span a:hover, .h1disc span a:active {
color: #FFA500;
}</style>

on the “Stallion All In One SEO” Options page (under the Stallion menu when under Stallion >> SEO Advanced options page “Stallion All in One SEO ON” is set.

Paste the code in the

“Additional Sitewide Headers”

Box and change the color codes to the colours you want.

The above technique can be used to override pretty much anything you find in the /stallion-child-business/colors/style-business-st.css file, you basically copy the CSS styles you want to change and add the bits you want to change into the sitewide headers box between the style code. Above I only added the color code since we weren’t trying to change the text-decoration (which is set to none, if you wanted underlined you would add text-decoration: underline;).

Stallion SEO Theme Update

Stallion 6.01 didn’t have the built in Stallion updater.

You can’t use the WordPress theme installer to update a theme, when a theme already exists WordPress throws out an error though not the too big error.

I think I know what’s happening.

Your hosting account has the maximum file upload size set too low, many hosts have it set to 2MBs, you need 10MBs to install Stallion that way. Since the upload size is too low when you try to install any large theme or plugin you’ll get the file too big error.

If your hosting did have a max file upload size big enough you wouldn’t get the file size error, instead you’d get the folder exists error instead since /stallion-seo-theme/ folder already exists.

Solution is use FTP to upload the extracted Stallion theme over the current /wp-content/themes/stallion-seo-theme/

When up to date future updates will be able to use the automatic updater.
