SEOPress 3.8.5 is now available. We encourage you to update your site as soon as possible to take advantage of the latest features and improvements.
🎉 New – Twitter Preview and improvements for Facebook preview
Like Facebook, you can preview link sharing on Twitter directly from the Social tab of the SEO metabox. We have added new checks to help you choose an image corresponding to the recommendations of Facebook and Twitter:
- format,
- file type,
- dimensions,
- image URL.
🎉 New – Matomo Cloud integration
Do you prefer to use Matomo to track your visitors? No problem ! The new version of SEOPress offers free integration of Matomo, the first alternative to Google Analytics, 100% GDPR compatible. Find the configuration options from SEO, Analytics, Matomo tab.
Requires a Matomo account.
🎉 New – custom taxonomy and post type in Breadcrumbs (PRO)
You can finally display post type and taxonomy in your breadcrumbs! Go to SEO, PRO, Breadcrumbs to define your settings.
We also fixed the W3C errors and updated our code to follow the new Google recommendations for SEO without forgetting accessibility. Now, the separator is displayed in CSS via a pseudo element (after), the last element is no longer clickable, and the CSS loaded in inline is from the head of the document.

New properties have been added for Product schema:
- product attributes
- product availability
New article types:
- Article (generic)
