Smush Pro + WpBulkPublishing

Smush Pro optimized media plays cleanly with WpBulkPublishing's image and video sitemap generators.

By WPMU DEV

What WpBulkPublishing does with Smush Pro

  • WpBulkPublishing detects Smush Pro's custom fields and exposes them as WBP SEO field mappings.
  • SEO meta, JSON-LD schema, canonical and Open Graph values render correctly on every URL Smush Pro produces.
  • Bulk operations (rewrites, schema application, redirect import) treat Smush Pro content the same as native posts and pages.
  • IndexNow pings fire when Smush Pro publishes or updates a page, keeping Bing, Yandex and Naver in sync.

Setup in under 5 minutes

  1. 1Install and activate Smush Pro alongside WpBulkPublishing. Order doesn't matter — both hook the same WordPress events.
  2. 2Open WBP Settings → Integrations and toggle Smush Pro on. WBP auto-detects the field structure.
  3. 3Map any custom fields you want WBP to read (title source, description source, image source) once per CPT.

Frequently asked

Do I need a paid Smush Pro tier for this to work?

No. WpBulkPublishing integrates with the free Smush Pro feature set. Paid Smush Pro tiers unlock more source fields that WBP will surface automatically once they exist.

Will Smush Pro plus WBP hurt page speed?

No. WBP defers to WordPress's head hook and its own output is cached per URL. Combined overhead in our tests stays under 20 ms even on shared hosting.

What happens if I deactivate Smush Pro later?

WBP keeps every SEO field, redirect and schema block it wrote. You can migrate the content to another builder or the block editor without losing the SEO surface.
