BlogSEO vs Mathilda

BlogSEO connects your WordPress site to BlogSEO, an AI-powered SEO platform that researches keywords, generates ranking-ready articles, builds backlinks, and publishes content to your blog on autopilot. Features One-click pairing — connect from your BlogSEO dashboard without copying API keys. Auto-publish or manual — articles appear on your site as live posts or drafts for review, your choice. Featured and inline images — downloaded into your WordPress media library, no hotlinking. SEO meta filled in — meta title, description, focus keyword, OG/Twitter, and schema for Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, and Squirrly. Works on locked-down hosts — Hostinger, Wordfence, Really Simple Security, Patchstack, and firewalled environments where Application Passwords break. Lightweight — no front-end scripts, no database tables, no admin nags. How it works Install and activate this plugin. Open Settings → BlogSEO and click Connect to BlogSEO. Confirm the pairing in your BlogSEO dashboard — you’ll be redirected back automatically. Articles generated in BlogSEO start publishing to your site based on your dashboard settings. Requirements WordPress 5.6 or higher PHP 7.4 or higher A BlogSEO account (sign up at blogseo.io) Privacy This plugin communicates with the BlogSEO service to receive article content for publishing. It sends only operational data — your site URL, plugin/WordPress/PHP versions, and the list of categories, tags, and post types you’ve configured (only when those change). It does not send post content, user data, or analytics. By installing this plugin and connecting it to your BlogSEO account, you agree to BlogSEO’s Terms of Service. External services This plugin connects to the BlogSEO API (https://app.blogseo.io) to authenticate the connection and receive article content generated in your BlogSEO account, so it can be published to your WordPress site. The plugin sends the following data to BlogSEO: During the initial pairing: a one-time pairing token and your site URL, to establish the connection. On every connection check (~once every 30 minutes): your site URL, WordPress version, PHP version, and the plugin version, to confirm the connection is alive. When you add or remove categories, tags, or post types on your WordPress site: the updated list, so the BlogSEO dashboard knows which targets are available. When BlogSEO can’t reach your site directly (firewalled host): a pull request asking BlogSEO for any queued articles, followed by a short confirmation (wp_post_id, wp_post_link, or error message) once each one is published locally. The plugin does not send post content, user data, comments, or analytics. There is no third-party tracking. This service is provided by BlogSEO, Inc.: Terms of Service, Privacy Policy.

Mathilda is trying to give you back some control of your tweets. The plugin copies your tweets from Twitter continuously and saves them into the WordPress database. The tweets can be displayed on the blog chronologically (but do not have to). Indeed, Twitter is also blogging, micro-blogging so to speak. Features Copy your tweets back Copy your tweeted images back Display your tweets on the blog Shows basic tweet statistics Import your complete tweet history Export your tweets as CSV file Languague: English, German (only FrontEnd) Live Demo Here! Future of this Plugin As Twitter has decided to discontinue free access to the Twitter API in February 2023, I have stopped using Twitter, which also impacts the future of this plugin. For a longer period of time, the plugin was still able to execute API calls strangly enough. The plugin is using the Twitter API Standard v1.1. In the meantime Twitter became X and also free write access to v1.1 is still possible, but X has removed the required endpoint to fetch data. As consequence the core feature of the plugin is not working anymore, which is very sad. Independent from this, displaying of already received tweet data is still possible with this plugin. This feature will be kept alive until further notice. But further development in general is discontinued. Configuration Register your Mathilda-Instance as Twitter-Application for API Access apps.twitter.com Activate the plugin in WordPress Maintain OAUTH Access Token, OAUTH Access Token Secret, Consumer Key, Consumer Secret and your Twitter Account in the settings Run the initial load (Tools/Tweets) Create a WordPress page (page slug must match mathilda slug) Further Information Supported Tweet Types Following tweet types are supported. 140 Character Tweets 280 Character Tweets Replys Quotes Supported Tweet Objects Following tweet objects are supported.
