Released on

This minor update addresses a regression where the singular-archive canonical URLs always pointed to the first page.

Detailed log

Code changes

For everyone

  • Improved:
    • Canonical URLs now generate quicker.
  • Fixed:
    • The singular archive (blog/shop) page’s canonical URL now points to the current page.
  • Other:
    • It is 2022 now… so, we extended the plugin’s copyright year notes.

For developers

  • Added:
    • Function \The_SEO_Framework\has_run() is now part of the public API.
      • It helps test whether the caller function was already called before.
    • Method tsf()->add_pagination_to_url(). This is a replacement for tsf()->add_url_pagination(), which is now marked for deprecation.
  • Changed:
    • Method tsf()->get_canonical_url() may now have its first argument populated.
      • Method tsf()->create_canonical_url() is now marked for deprecation. You can exchange the method name to get_canonical_url() without any other changes. This change is backward compatible but may cause (ignorable) PHP notices.
    • Filter the_seo_framework_list_table_data now supports index key placeholder for $data.
  • Removed:
    • Privately-marked function \The_SEO_Framework\_load_trait() has been removed. We do not need traits in TSF (yet).
  • Other:
    • Made the code a little more procedural.
