SEOPress 3.7.6 and 3.7.7 are now available. We encourage you to update your site as soon as possible to take advantage of the latest features and improvements.
🎉 New – improve your source code for Google Bot
If your theme uses the “hentry” class in your source code, Google detects it as a structured data (schema) which is wrong. You now have the option to delete this class (it is also unused in CSS in almost all themes) from SEO > Advanced > Advanced tab.
Two new options to clean the comments area (SEO > Advanced > Advanced tab):
- remove author website in comments to avoid creating useless links to your homepage when the post author answers comments
- remove website field in comments to avoid SPAM
🎉 New – Open Graph meta tags: article:tag and article:section
On singular post, we now automatically add article:tag and article:section. These Open Graph meta tags improve social sharing on Facebook and other social networks using OG tags.
🎉 Other news
WordPress 4.7 is now the minimum version required by SEOPress to work properly. Please upgrade!
We have added a new dynamic variable, %%page%%, to display pagination in archive pages with the context (eg: page 1 of 10).
We also add the SiteNavigationElement schema. Go to SEO > PRO > Structured data types to activate it.
Compatibility with Toolset, Admin Columns PRO and Oxygen Builder plugins has been improved.
And so much more! Take a look at the changelog below to see all the changes.
Thank you all for your contribution. If you want to submit your feedback, contact us!
