When I installed "SEO All in One", I immediately encountered a red warning bar in my dashboard. In red-highlight, it says "All in One SEO Pack must be configured. Go to the admin page to enable and configure the plugin". I followed the link it provided, and adjusted a few configuration settings (only those affecting meta tags, such as description and title, other options I left as defaults). I saved the settings, and found that it was working! My content now had proper meta tags.

However, the red-highlight dashboard warning "SEO…must be configured…" has not gone away – it is a permanent resident. Furthermore, as this is my first time using Wordpress and "SEO All in One", I'm not sure if the plugin is working completely. I had the impression that the page and post addresses would be adjusted to match corresponding slugs or titles. With SEO now in place, the page and post addresses still show as numeric query strings. Is that normal?

I'm using Wordpress 2.9.2. I'm using MySQL 5.1.49-community. I'm self-hosted with "webhost4life.com". The SEO plugin is version 1.6.12.2.

Interesting. The problem was that I had not set the "plugin enabled" from false to true. Problem fixed.

Still, I don't understand two things. First, why is it necessary to "activate" the plugin, and "enable" it as well? Second, why was the plugin already working, even though I had "plugin enabled" set to false?

I suppose I might also ask – why do instructions say "you can use the defaults" for this plugin, but evidentally you should not use the defaults: you should at least change "plugin enabled" to true. Odd.

All the same, it is an amazing plugin. No wonder it is so popular!
