Hardcoding pages versus using wordpress pages

1

I wondered if anyone had any thoughts here.
i am currently building a site and playing with Wordpress SEO. - SEO is something I am just at the bottom of the ladder with, so bear with me here.

in order to get the greenlight on the SEO plugin your page needs content. however if you are ‘hardcoding’ your page instead of getting the content template, then surely thats to no avail?

secondly if i take that code and put it into the wp editor, it basically stuffs it up, adding & removing paragraphs and changing code, adding styles to the wrong sections.

Wondered if anyone had any best practice tips

Put plain text into the editor and hardcode the page.

i was wondering if you can call out snippets of text - for example if you have sections on the page.

Hmm if i understand the question, correctly, if I hardcoding the page, I’ll definitely set this on my User settings so I can simply paste my code and save/update my Page, and it’ll be as if i’m hardcoding.

but I sense i don’t get the question right.

Probably something you should ask the WordPress SEO guys, this isn’t related to Roots.

Yeah this isn’t really a Roots question, but if you need content arranged in certain sections or areas of a page then consider checking out http://advancedcustomfields.com/

Took me a minute to grok ACF but once I did I realized that the kool aid is delicious.

@chriscarr turned me on to it; before I was managing my own meta boxes in php. Now I don’t know how I ever lived without it.
