🔧 Development Principles

🎯 Modularity

Each feature is isolated in separate classes for easy maintenance and extension.

📈 Scalability

Schema templates are reusable and dynamically injected based on page context.

⚡ Performance

Minimal WordPress compatibility using native hooks and lightweight operations.

🔒 Security

• Input sanitization via esc_html(), sanitize_text_field()
• Nonce verification for admin forms
• Proper capability checks

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

❌ Plugin Activation Error

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare Smart_SEO_Admin_UI::init()

✅ Solution: This has been fixed in the latest version. Ensure you're using the updated files.

❌ Schema Not Appearing

• Verify schema is enabled in settings
• Check page type matches schema conditions
• Use browser dev tools to inspect page source

❌ Admin Menu Missing

• Ensure user has manage_options capability
• Check for plugin conflicts
• Verify all files are uploaded correctly

Debug Mode

Enable WordPress debug mode for detailed error logging:

// In wp-config.php
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
