WP Plugins Yoast SEO Premium 15.2

15.2
Release Date: October 27th, 2020

Today, we are releasing Yoast SEO 15.2 into the wild. In this release, we’ve added an interesting improvement for Slack users — better visibility for your content when your URL is shared on Slack. We also improved the performance of the plugin in the backend due to us loading less JavaScript. Read more about what’s new in 15.2 in our release post!

Các tính năng được củng cố:

• Adds an Open Graph integration for The Events Calendar plugin.
• Sets the default schema type for Web Stories to Article.
• Adds enhanced Slack sharing tags on posts and pages.
• Adds a toggle for the above enhanced Slack sharing feature.
• Flushes the permalinks from the indexable tables when a custom taxonomy base changes, and shows a reindex notification in that case.
• Improves the loading times of admin pages where Yoast SEO is present.

Những lỗi đã sửa:

• Fixes a bug where we linked to Google’s Structured Data Test, which is deprecated. We now link to Google’s Rich Results Test.
• Fixes a bug where the styling of the General tab in the network admin dashboard was broken.
• Fixes a bug where the German passive voice assessment would show an error when the text contained a participle enclosed within curly quotation marks (e.g., "getan").
• Fixes a bug where the WooCommerce product permalinks were not updated after a permalink structure change.
• Fixes a bug where the replacement variable dropdown menu was partially hidden for the description inputs in all preview modals.
• Fixes a bug where a fatal error would be thrown on sites that did have curl installed but did not have the PHP curl extension installed.

Other:

• Removes the “Remind me in 7 days” link from the SEO data optimization notification on the Yoast SEO dashboard, which was shown for large sites with more than 2500 unindexed indexables. The notification can still be hidden by clicking the default dismiss button.
• Adds the wpseo_image_data filter to enable the filtering of image metadata.

15.1.1
Release Date: October 15th, 2020

Những lỗi đã sửa:

• Fixes a bug where the indexing button on the Tools page would keep showing up because certain objects would be detected as requiring indexing but would not actually be indexed during the indexing process.

15.1
Release Date: October 14th, 2020

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could get keyword data while working on your content in Yoast SEO? Well, we asked ourselves that same question and now we have an answer! Yes, you can now find related keyphrases inside the post editor. And it’s not any old data — no, it’s powered by our good friends at SEMrush, a world-class provider of SEO and internet marketing tools! Read more about what’s new in 15.1 in our release post!

Các tính năng được củng cố:

• Adds an integration with SEMrush to search for and compare search volume of related keyphrases.
• Moves the Ryte feature toggle to the new Integrations tab where the new SEMrush feature toggle also can be found.
• Merges the indexable and link indexing tools on the tools page into one process.
• Improves the user experience of the indexing tool on the tools page by showing its progress on the tools page itself, instead of in a separate pop-up modal.
• Prevents several processes from happening on non-production environments:
  • Indexing indexables.
  • Pinging search engines about XML sitemaps.
  • Sending tracking information.
  • Checking the indexability of the site with Ryte.
• Uses the website from a user’s WordPress profile in that user’s SameAs array in the Schema output.
• Flushes all permalinks from the indexables tables when the value of the permalink_structure option changes, and introduces a notification to ask for a reindex in that case.
• Flushes all permalinks from the indexables tables when the value of the home_urloption changes, and introduces a notification to ask for a reindex in that case.
• Registers a cron job that checks whether the home_url was changed manually and resets the permalinks accordingly.
• Makes it possible to recognize keyphrases in Farsi when they have a negation prefix or an indefinite article (for example: ماشین (‘car’) in ماشینی (‘a car’)).
• Improves keyphrase recognition in Farsi by filtering the function words such as هفت, چهارم,یا`.

Những lỗi đã sửa:

• Fixes a bug where the Yoast replacement variables plugin would not be available on edit terms page for usage by other plugins.
• Fixes a bug where the incoming link count for each post, as shown on the post overview page, was incorrect.

Other:

• Adds a filter (wpseo_dynamic_permalinks_enabled) to enable the dynamic permalink fallback. When this fallback is enabled, the indexable-based output of the permalink property is overridden by a permalink that is calculated on the fly. Using this is detrimental for performance but may be needed for some site setups.

14.8
Release Date: August 18th, 2020

Get ready for a brand new version of Yoast SEO! In this version you’ll find new Schema functionality, an improved readability analysis for Portuguese & Indonesian, and improved keyword recognition for right-to-left languages. Read more about those changes in our release post!

• Improves the accuracy of the following assessments for right-to-left languages: sentence length, keyphrase in introduction, keyphrase distribution, keyphrase density, and keyphrase in meta description.
• Improves all keyphrase-based assessments for Arabic by filtering function words and by allowing keyphrases to be recognized in a text when preceded by a prefix (e.g., “ل” or “ب”).
• Adds the following assessments for Indonesian: sentence beginnings, transition words and passive voice.
• Adds the following assessments for Portuguese: Flesch reading ease and passive voice.
• Cleans up Schema @type values:
  • If it’s an array with multiple values, only output unique values.
  • If it’s a single value, output it as a string instead of an array.

Những lỗi đã sửa:

• Fixes a bug where the Yoast Dashboard widget would trigger an error when other plugins or temporary conditions would make the Yoast API response fail.
• Fixes a bug where block editor dependencies would be loaded unnecessarily on classic editor, causing issues with NextGEN gallery. Posts with NextGEN galleries that have been broken due to this bug will need to be re-saved.

Other:

14.7
Release Date: August 5th, 2020

Say hi to Yoast SEO 14.7, chock-full of enhancements to help you with your site’s SEO. Have you heard about the addition of XML sitemaps in WordPress 5.5? The Yoast SEO plugin is completely prepared for this. We also have some great news for users of the Web Stories plugin. Read more about those changes in our release post!

Các tính năng được củng cố:

• Adds support for adding metadata to Web Stories (the web-story post type) from the Web Stories plugin. Props to swissspidy

Những lỗi đã sửa:

• Fixes a bug where a fatal error would occur in sitemaps on sites where the home URL and site URL were different. Because the cause of this was a missing style sheet, the content of the sitemaps was still there, which means Google and other search engines could still reach the sitemaps and no SEO harm was done.
• Fixes a bug where reindexing would not be done for indexables without a permalink.
• Fixes a bug where an indexable’s permalink remained unchanged when the categories prefix option was changed.

14.6
Release Date: July 21st, 2020

We have a new release for you: Yoast SEO 14.6. This release has some pretty cool enhancements. For example, we’ve added another helpful indicator in the editor that shows you your scores for a particular post quickly. Read more about those changes in our release post!

Các tính năng được củng cố:

• Improves the editing experience in the Social tab, and gives it a dab of fresh paint.
• In the sharing metadata used for Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn and many other sites, we now output the post title instead of the SEO title. This prevents the brand name from being added in most cases, which is better on those platforms. You can still set a specific sharing title on the Social tab of the Yoast SEO post settings.
• Makes the plugin icon in the editor reflect the SEO and Readability score.
• Improves keyphrase counting in Indonesian by not counting ‘-‘ as a word boundary.
• Improves the feedback text for the keyphrase in title assessment to make clear that an exact keyphrase match is necessary.
• Improves the recognition of keywords in the slug if they contain a hyphen (for example: re-duplicated, on-the-go).
• Improves the transition words analysis for Russian.
• Noindexes the xmlrpc.php file and all possible ways to request it, removing them from Google’s search results.

• Fixes a bug where there was no border on the bottom of metabox tabs without any collapsible sections.

Other:

• Removes functions, class variables and classes that were deprecated prior to version 11.5.
