VP SEO - Installation

Installing VP SEO takes a single package upload and one click to enable. There is nothing to publish on the front end.

Requirements

  • Joomla 5.x or 6.x
  • PHP 8.1 or newer

Install the plugin

  • Download the latest package (plg_system_vpseo_free_vX.Y.Z.zip or the Pro package).
  • In Joomla, go to System → Install → Extensions → Upload Package File and drop the ZIP.
  • Go to System → Manage → Plugins, search for System - VP SEO and enable it.
  • Review the global settings (next article), then open any article's Publishing tab to set per-article values.

New to VP SEO? Enable it, set a Default Image at 1200 × 630, and you already have working social cards site-wide. Fill the SEO Title only on articles whose browser title should differ from the headline.

Updating

VP SEO ships with an update server, so new versions appear under System → Update → Extensions → Find Updates. The Pro edition installs straight over Free as an in-place upgrade and keeps all settings.
