All previous SEO gone?

After adapting TagDivs Newsmag theme it seems all previous SEO configuration is deleted or not available. I use to run the site on Studiopress Genesis framework. What can I do about this? What happened?

Obviously any “SEO settings” built into the Genesis theme framework and generated by their framework is gone when not used; their framework injects the SEO data into pages.

Instead, consider moving to YOAST SEO, and you can recreate much of the same capability.

This is why I personally use something like YOAST now, because it’s “theme agnostic” — problem with theme/framework-based SEO, is that is only works with that setup — it’s not destructively changing content.

Thanks. Ok its gone. I moved to Yoast. It looks fine.

All content have already been indexed by the search engines. And when they reindex there might be some losses in page ranks. I have to live with that.

Been there 🙂

Our old server crashed Aug 5 while migrating to new hardware; some sites down 24 hours, some 5 days.

Luckily Google is pretty “smart” about the actual content — meaning, unless you change the content, rankings should not change dramatically, and usually recover after theme swap.

Good to hear! Thanks.
