Simply put, this update fixes a few bugs. One of these bugs caused all recognized Post Types to be judged wrongfully for supporting SEO.
A very small bug with a major impact has also been fixed. This bug caused WooCommerce Shop Pages to canonicalized to the latest product.
This update also makes sure all translations of 2.6.0 and later are put into effect.
UTF-8 required languages are now correctly rendered on PHP5.3 and lower within the SEO bar, like Russian.
And for developers, the URL generation has been slightly refactored. With more reliable and lighter variables being used throughout the generation.
2.6.1 – Pacified Handling
The new plugin detection features from 2.6.0 “Pragmatic Foundation” was done in a manner that any arbitrary plugin could be detected with conflicting namespaces.
For this reason, I’ve taken JetPack’s philosophical standpoint on this and implemented it within The SEO Framework.
Also, the new special Greek/Latin duplicated word counter now also works great on PHP versions 5.2 and 5.3.
And in some configurations, the Home Page Title could have been rendered empty, so I got that fixed as well!
For developers, many new filters have been added for plugin detection, be sure to check them out in the detailed log.
2.6.0.2 – Tough Understructure
In some installations, a few WordPress variables may yet be unassigned when called within this plugin.
This causes a wrong cache initialization, and therefore incorrectly renders SEO values and settings.
This minor update determines if the query and page type is accessible yet to make sure no wrong values are used throughout the plugin.
2.6.0.1 – The real Pragmatic Foundation
This minor update fixes a fatal error after updating to The SEO Framework 2.6.0.
2.6.0 – Pragmatic Foundation
With over 200 notable changes, I bring you a new Pragmatic Foundation.
Most importantly, this update allows you to be better informed about your website’s index status, through the much improved SEO bar.
As the issue of the incorrect title length has finally been found, this update glorifies and updates its plugin’s title counter once more.
Many new options have been included within the SEO Settings page. Including much desired Title, Description and Schema.org options.
WPML compatibility has received a rework, now all canonical URLs in the sitemap and front-end are always correct. The qTranslate X settings are now also being taken into account when outputting canonical URLs.
A new script has been added on the front-page. This will make sure the Breadcrumb homepage name will be correct in the Search Engine Results Page.
The breadcrumb script has been expanded to work on posts with multiple and nested categories. These scripts now also work on WooCommerce products. Don’t be surprised if you suddenly have all kinds of scripts in the header! These scripts help Google and other Search Engines better understand your website.
And for developers, with the code expanding rapidly, this update brings new light to the code by reorganizing the code into dedicated classes and is including many major refactorizations.
