8.1.2

Bugfixes​

  • Fixes a bug where our JavaScript memory usage would increase indefinitely. This could result in a browser crash after a long enough period.

8.1.1

Bugfixes​

  • Fixes compatibility with Gutenberg 3.7, which removed a feature we were relying on.
  • Fixes a bug where the Twitter meta-tags would not have the snippet variables replaced with their dynamic values.
  • Fixes a bug where the og:url would not be set to the canonical URL if the canonical URL is explicitly set on Post types, Terms or Tags.
  • Fixes a bug on the Term page when editting the slug, it would not be updated in the Snippet Preview directly.

7.7.3

Bugfixes​

  • Disables WordPress' automatic conversion of emoji to images on every page where the snippet editor is present. This conversion is not compatible with React or content editable fields and broke the snippet editor.
  • Fixes text directionality for the title and description fields in the snippet editor for right-to-left languages.
  • Fixes a bug where the snippet title and description values were saved to the database if they did match the post-type template.

7.7.2

Bugfixes​

  • Fixes a bug where the snippet variables selection is hidden behind the WordPress menu when using a right-to-left language.
  • Fixes styling in the snippet preview when using a right-to-left language.
  • Fixes a bug where the 'insert snippet variable' button placement was inconsistent.
  • Migrates WooCommerce Product archive settings to the Shop page, if present and not already set on the Shop page.

7.7.1

Bugfixes​

  • Fixes a bug where disabling the post_format archive would result in it actually being enabled and vice versa.
  • Fixes an issue where all replacement variables were being displayed instead of the recommended ones.

Other​

  • Restores currentyear as a snippet variable.

7.6.1

Bugfixes​

  • Fixes a bug where a JavaScript error was thrown on the post-edit page when certain plugins are active.
  • Fixes a bug where stylesheet definitions would impact form fields of metaboxes on the post-edit pages. The definitions have been contained in a Yoast-selector.

7.5.1

Bugfixes​

  • Fixes a bug where the auto-generating of the slug did not work as expected due to persisting of the post name too agressively.

7.5

Enhancements​

  • Adds readability analysis for Russian.
  • Improves accessibility.

Bugfixes​

  • Fixes a bug where images with specific aspect ratios where removed from OpenGraph consideration. This was causing unexpected results with Facebook sharing. The aspect ratio check has been removed completely.
  • Fixes a bug where sentences ending in multiple sentence marks, exclamation marks or ellipses were treated as multiple sentences.
  • Fixes a bug where attempting to get Yoast SEO options in multi-site, would result in wrong values being returned.
  • Fixes a bug where the sitemap styling could not be loaded when the Site domain differs from the Admin domain.
  • Fixes a bug where the admin bar still used old copy: Dashboard has been renamed to General.

7.4.2

Bugfixes​

  • Fixes automatic image size detection for OpenGraph images. When an image was used that was too large, we wouldn't output the og:image tag. That is now fixed.
  • Fixes a bug where portrait images where not allowed for the OpenGraph image.

7.4.1

Bugfixes​

  • Re-adds wpseo_opengraph_image_size filter. This will completely override any automatic size determination our code does. This filter now also applies to all ways an og:image can be determined: In the content, as a featured image or as set in our Facebook image setting.
  • Fixes an unintended backwards incompatible change which caused "Warning: Illegal string offset ‘url’ in".
  • Fixes an unintended change which caused SVGs to be included in consideration for the og:image tag. SVG images are not allowed by Facebook, so these should never be used in the og:image tag.

7.2

Enhancements​

  • Updates all Help Center videos with new recordings.
  • Adds functionality to import noindex, nofollow and OpenGraph tags from All in One SEO Pack.
  • Improves consistency of capitalization in settings and tabs.
  • Improves the traffic light icon accessibility.
  • Changes the words 'post type' into 'content type' throughout the plugin.

Bugfixes​

  • Fixes a bug where the Facebook app-id could no longer be set in the Social settings.
  • Fixes a bug where existing Yoast SEO data could be overwritten when importing data from All in One SEO Pack.
  • Fixes a bug where the Ryte notification is not removed when disabling the Ryte feature.
  • Fixes a bug where setting a page to noindex through the wpseo_robots filter did not properly remove the canonical element.
  • Fixes a bug where attachments connected to password-protected parents are included in the sitemaps. Props Scott Carter.
  • Fixes alignment of the Go Premium notice.
