This minor maintenance release fixes a couple of bugs. One of these fixes affects the validity of the sitemap when using Custom Post Types.
The upcoming update (version 2.8.0) is coming later this month, or soon thereafter. With a bunch of new features and improvements. Stay tuned!
Both this update, as verison 2.7.0, are completely compatible with WordPress 4.7.
The SEO Framework Changelog – Page 13
We're continuously working on The SEO Framework plugin. This archive lists the latest changes by version.
2.7.0 – Contemporary Aspiration
This is a major maintenance release. Although nothing notable has been changed, added or fixed; nevertheless, this update makes everything a lot lighter on your server.
As the Extension Manager is on its way, it’s the first time I actually needed to make use of this plugin’s application framework. With this, I noticed some things had to be improved; and with this update, a lot has been.
For developers, the code has been cleaned up again, massively. Enjoy!
For everyone, this plugin now makes use of the WordPress core term data handling. Which makes this plugin much more reliable, lighter and faster.
This update brings 19 new features, more than 24 bugs have been fixed and over 42 improvements have been introduced.
2.6.6 – Semantic Structures
Page builders are great for if you want to style your website, and when you want to do it fast.
So from this update the Divi Builder, Visual Composer, Beaver Builder, and the Page Builder by SiteOrigin are now fully supported.
Various bugs have also been fixed, to improve your experience. One particular bugfix is related to Polylang; this bugfix should improve performance and reduce other bugs from happening as well.
The Automated and Manual description output has been improved in several ways as well.
For developers, a class has been removed. All functions within have been moved to more suitable classes. This change will reduce server resource usage and increase overall performance.
2.6.5 – Systematic Support
Another maintenance release for The SEO Framework 2.6 is coming right at you!
While Polylang creates Taxonomies from Pages without acknowledging it being an Archive, I have found a workaround for the Title not to show up correctly.
Also, bbPress’ Original Post within a topic is now shown correctly, although the bbPress 2.6.0 update will resolve this as well.
On special pages like the Forum page of bbPress, no more cache key conflicts will be present, this makes it a recommended update.
WPML Multilingual domains are now also fully supported. So instead of just adding a subdomain, this plugin now also takes whole new domains into consideration.
The URL generation has also been improved once more. It now contains Canonical Pagination support, and expanded Plain Permalink structure support.
And just when you thought new options were available, now you won’t be fooled again.
For developers it’s now much easier to debug, and there are also three (actually four) brand new filters.
And last but not least, 404 pages and Search Pages now have a Canonical URL, right towards your Homepage.
2.6.4 – Biographic Consistency
This update is another maintenance release. It’s highly recommended to install this update to prevent incorrect meta values.
The fix that has been applied now set at the root cause for the issues that have persisted since the release of 2.6.0, rather than later on.
I also bring you Author Descriptions. This description is pulled from the user’s profile biography input and is handled the same way as other automated descriptions.
