3.2.0 – Horizon

December 4, 2018 by Sybre Waaijer
Updated December 6, 2018

Release date: December 4th, 2018

What is right to be done cannot be done too soon. – Jane Austen

Feature highlights

  • A new editor (codename Gutenberg) will launch in just two days with WordPress 5.0. This release makes the plugin fully compatible with it.
  • Description prefixes have been removed. Descriptions aren’t used as a ranking factor anymore, and gaming the system via repeating the title isn’t beneficial.

Did you know?

We recently relaunched a plugin for The SEO Framework. It’s called the Extension Manager.

For everyone:

  • Added:
    • In the new editor:
      • You can now select a primary term.
      • The example title now updates accordingly.
      • The save-state changes are now detected correctly.
      • New: The canonical URL example is now forged on-the-fly.
  • Removed:
    • Automated description additions and all related options are no longer available.
      • They’re still used on the front page and blog page; however, these weren’t optional.
      • They’re not helping with SEO anymore as Google ignores them and Facebook strips them.
      • Since 3.1.0 this feature was automatically turned off for new websites.
      • They were also a source of unnecessary complexity and bugs.
  • Fixed:
    • A typo in the Social Settings meta box has been rectified.

For translators:

  • New translations are available.

For developers:

  • Added:
    • View: inpost/seo-settings-singular-gutenberg-data.php
      • It’s an abstract and intermediate placeholder to hold cloned SEO input data obtained via the Gutenberg editor.
      • We’re still planning to move The SEO Framework’s interface into Gutenberg. From then, these fields will be removed. So, don’t rely on this.
    • Gutenberg: A new a data dispatcher via jQuery events is now available.
      • This might be a permanent solution, but it’s treated as an intermediate step. So, don’t rely on the API.
  • Changed:
    • Method is_gutenberg_page() now detects the new WordPress 5.0 block editor.
    • The property value of inpost_nonce_name now has the _nonce suffix, to prevent future collisions.
    • HTML Element ID title-prefixes-toggle is now tsf-title-prefixes-toggle.
    • Element tabs in the SEO settings are now prefixed with tsf-.
  • Other:
    • We now check for the PSR2.ControlStructures.SwitchDeclaration.SpaceBeforeColonCASE coding standard.
  • Fixed:
    • convert_markdown() links now support the character 1 in the content.
  • Option notes:
    • Removed:
      • description_additions
      • description_blogname
      • description_separator

        • Removed the s_description_separator index.

        • Removed the description_additions, description_blogname, and description_separator indexes.
    • Removed:
      • (string) the_seo_framework_description_separator
      • (bool) the_seo_framework_add_description_additions
      • (array) the_seo_framework_description_settings_tabs
  • Method notes:
    • Added:
      • is_gutenberg_page(), this used to be a protected method.
