## Description

Tidy Posts helps you keep your blog content in good shape. It gives you a clear 
overview of your published posts, highlights what needs attention, and makes it 
easy to take action.

**Features:**

 * **Performance Scoring** – Every post gets a score out of 100 based on SEO completeness,
   content length, and freshness.
 * **SEO Audit** – See which posts are missing SEO titles and meta descriptions 
   at a glance.
 * **Content Freshness Tracking** – Identify posts that haven’t been updated in 
   months or years.
 * **Inline SEO Editing** – Double-click any SEO title or meta description to edit
   it directly in the table. No need to open each post individually.
 * **Undo Inline Edits** – Changed your mind? Undo the last inline SEO edit with
   a single click.
 * **Bulk Actions** – Select multiple posts and mark them as updated or move them
   to draft in one action.
 * **Pagination** – Choose how many posts to display per page (25, 50, 100, 200,
   or 500) for easy navigation of large post lists.
 * **Clickable Overview Tiles** – Dashboard stat tiles link directly to the relevant
   report tab.
 * **Dashboard Widget** – A content health score and priority actions widget on 
   your WordPress dashboard.
 * **CSV Export** – Export any report tab as a CSV file for offline analysis.
 * **Support Tab** – Quick access to documentation and support at tidyposts.com.
 * **Mobile Responsive** – Full functionality on tablets and mobile devices.

**SEO Plugin Support:**

Tidy Posts works with Yoast SEO and Rank Math. It detects which plugin you have 
installed and adapts its queries and display accordingly. Without an SEO plugin,
Tidy Posts still tracks content freshness and word counts.

**Report Tabs:**

 * **Overview** – Summary statistics and a getting-started guide.
 * **All Posts** – Every published post with SEO data, word count, performance score,
   and days since last update.
 * **Needs Attention** – Posts flagged for missing SEO data or being over 6 months
   old.
 * **Missing SEO Data** – Posts specifically lacking SEO titles or meta descriptions.
 * **Old Content** – Posts older than 6 months, sorted oldest first.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `tidy-posts` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to the ‘Tidy Posts’ menu item in your WordPress admin sidebar.

## FAQ

### Which SEO plugins are supported?

Tidy Posts supports Yoast SEO (free and premium) and Rank Math (free and pro). Support
for additional SEO plugins may be added in future versions.

### Does Tidy Posts modify my content?

No. Tidy Posts only reads your existing post data and SEO metadata. The inline editing
feature updates SEO meta fields (titles and descriptions) only when you explicitly
make changes. It never modifies your post content.

### What does the performance score measure?

The score is based on four factors: SEO title presence and length, meta description
presence and length, content freshness (days since last update), and word count.
Each factor contributes to a score out of 100.

### Can I use Tidy Posts without an SEO plugin?

Yes. Without Yoast SEO or Rank Math, Tidy Posts still tracks content freshness, 
word counts, and performance scores. SEO-specific columns will show as missing since
there is no SEO data to read.

### Where can I get support?

support.

Tidy Posts does exactly what it says on the tin. It makes managing posts in WordPress
much easier, especially if you’ve got a growing archive. It won’t replace more advanced
tools if you need deep customisation, but for straightforward organisation and a
smoother workflow, it’s spot on.
