Overview
This article describes the different ways to add the SEO Toolkit to a website.
Changing the name of a WordPress site
Any SEO progress made is permanently reset if you change the domain name of a WordPress or DreamPress website.
For this reason, it is only recommended that you add the SEO Toolkit after your domain name is set correctly in its final version.
Eligibility
The SEO Toolkit is compatible with DreamPress and WordPress websites as well as any other fully-hosted website.
It cannot be used in the following cases:
- Remixer websites
- Websites hosted on DreamCompute
- Websites hosted in subfolders (example.com/blog)
- Temporary DreamHost domains (like dreamhosters.com subdomain or .dream.press domains)
Billing options
You can choose between a monthly or yearly payment plan. View the following page for pricing information:
Adding the SEO Toolkit
If you previously installed a DreamHost WordPress install and are no longer using it, you must make sure you deactivate it before adding the SEO toolkit to a new site. To deactivate it, visit the Install WordPress panel page and click the Remove from List button for the installation. See the following article for more information:
