Do I need a plugin to handle Best Wordpress Themes for SEO?
Not strictly, but auditing and rollback are what make the difference at scale. That's what WBP Omni SEO Pro handles.
Will this hurt existing rankings?
Not if the change is small and reversible. Every step above ships behind an Approve gate.
Do presets fight my per-post overrides?
Per-post fields always win; presets only fill fields you left blank, and the UI shows exactly which field came from where.
Can I use WBP without the WPB suite?
Yes — WBP is a standalone SEO plugin; the WPB integration unlocks the scale workflow but is optional.
