WP Plugins Yoast SEO Premium 15.2

14.5
Release Date: July 8th, 2020

Yoast SEO 14.5 is out today! In this release, we made some changes regarding our use of XML sitemaps. We decided to disable the new WordPress core XML sitemaps in favour of our own. Also, we fixed a number of bugs. Read more about those changes in our release post!

Các tính năng được củng cố:
  • Disables the WP Core sitemaps as introduced in WordPress 5.5.
  • Adds an abstract class to easily add dynamic blocks in Yoast SEO / add-ons.
Những lỗi đã sửa:
  • Fixes a bug where the SEO title and meta description for posts that have a custom title and/or description would not be displayed in the posts overview.
  • Fixes a bug where the WordPress dashboard was slower for very large sites, by caching the number of unindexed posts, terms and post type archives.
  • Fixes a bug where inline link functionality in custom blocks could be missing.
14.4.1
Release Date: June 23rd, 2020

Những lỗi đã sửa:
  • Fixes a bug where existing links were no longer editable with Yoast SEO active.
  • Fixes a bug where the editor wouldn’t remember rel values set on a link after refresh.
14.3
Release Date: June 9th, 2020

In every release of Yoast SEO, we fix bugs and find other ways to enhance our code. For instance, we’re always working on quality assurance, code style and other behind the scenes work. In Yoast SEO 14.3, you’ll find many of these improvements plus some bugfixes. Read more about those changes in our release post!

Những lỗi đã sửa:
  • Fixes a bug where the FAQ schema list item’s position would start at 0 instead of 1.
  • Fixes a bug where the filters wpseo_metadesc and wpseo_title weren’t called with the right argument, which could lead to errors.
  • Fixes a bug where our global CSS variables could conflict with global CSS variables of themes.
14.2
Release Date: May 26th, 2020

In today’s release, we’ve fixed several issues with breadcrumbs. One of these bugs turned the order of breadcrumbs on its head, which is not something we like. Things should work as expected now. We’ve also changed how we check if a focus keyphrase was used before. We currently run this against our indexable table, making the process more efficient. Read more about those changes in our release post!

Những lỗi đã sửa:
  • Fixes a bug where breadcrumbs would be saved in reversed order.
  • Fixes a bug where setting Security: no advanced settings for authors to offwould remove the advanced settings tab for all users.
  • Fixes a bug where replacement variables would not be replaced when using the deprecated WPSEO_Frontend output without echoing it.
  • Fixes a bug where our select2 styling would overwrite the select2 styling of other plugins.
  • Fixes a bug where JavaScript could be executed via the error message on the Social section in the Yoast Settings. As this potentially dangerous data is not saved, abusing this was not possible.
Các tính năng được củng cố:
  • Optimizes the query used to check if a focus keyphrase has been previously used, by running it against our indexable table.
14.1
Release Date: May 13th, 2020

  • Fixes a bug where a part of the breadcrumb path was missing on search result pages.

Các tính năng được củng cố:

14.0.4
Release Date: April 30th, 2020

Những lỗi đã sửa:
  • Fixes a bug where robots meta values defaulted to 0 instead of null because of a bug in WPDB. This could result in incorrect values for noindex, nofollow , noarchive, noimageindex and/or nosnippet. In order to purge the wrong data, we need to truncate our tables again. This means you will have to go through the indexing process again. We’re very sorry. For sites with more than 10,000 posts, we advise using the WP CLI command to do the indexation on the server.
14.0.2
Release Date: April 29th, 2020

Because we’ve changed the underlying framework of our Indexables technology, we’ve chosen to rebuild the table. This means you will have to go through the indexing process again. We’re sorry. For sites with more than 10,000 posts, we advise using the WP CLI command to do the indexation on the server.

  • Fixes a bug where a double breadcrumb would be shown on home pages.
  • Fixes a bug where the indexation would continue indefinitely under specific circumstances.
