| 98 | 98 | == Changelog == |
| 99 | += 2.7.2 = | |
| 100 | +* New Feature: Opt-in product analytics for the plugin admin, sent only after the site owner gives consent; existing installs are asked once through a dismissible notice that can be snoozed | |

| 102 | +* New Feature: OTTO webhook deliveries are now recorded in an audit log that is kept for seven days | |

| 105 | +* Fix: OTTO deployments are no longer lost when a cache warm-up fails, and stored OTTO titles, descriptions and keywords now refresh when the OTTO cache expires, so a missed OTTO notification no longer leaves stale SEO values behind | |

| 107 | +* Fix: Persisted OTTO keywords are now stored separately and no longer overwrite the customer's own keyword; the global priority setting is now named SEO Meta Priority | |
| 108 | +* Fix: OTTO is now skipped on paginated archive pages only on Divi sites instead of on every site | |
| 109 | +* Fix: Invalid values can no longer be stored as the OTTO Pixel UUID, and the UUID field is now read-only | |

| 115 | +* Fix: Indexation Controls now save each checkbox correctly instead of switching other archive rules on | |

| 117 | +* Fix: Redirects that have never been used now show "Never" instead of a zero date, and the redirect form no longer saves empty rows | |
| 118 | +* Fix: MCP category and tag creation now returns the existing term instead of failing when it already exists | |

| 122 | +* Improvement: The 404 Monitor now has clearer summary labels, short and distinct chart labels (including for non-ASCII URLs), and a cleaner toolbar and pagination | |
| 123 | +* Improvement: Compatibility toggles have moved to the Compatibility page, the unused HTTP option was removed from the SiteGround setting, and WP Rocket is now detected reliably | |

| 130 | +* Fix: The Changes Log admin page no longer shows misaligned headings or inconsistent toolbar control sizing | |

| 132 | +* Fix: Direct-access protection was added to PHP files that were missing it | |
| 133 | +* Fix: Discouraged PHP functions were replaced with WordPress-native APIs across the codebase, confirmed dead code was removed, and the remaining intentional native calls are now documented | |

| 139 | +* Fix: The plugin FAQ now uses American spelling ("optimization"), matching the rest of the listing | |

| 145 | += 2.7.0 = | |
| 146 | +* New Feature: Headless WordPress support — the WordPress backend and a decoupled public frontend now stay in sync through SSO and heartbeat, with SEO data exposed over WPGraphQL, frontend-aware canonical and og:url rehosting, taxonomy canonical overrides, bulk payload resolution, and a dedicated Headless Mode section in Advanced settings | |
| 147 | +* New Feature: Safe OTTO Persistence restore — original Yoast, Rank Math and AIOSEO values are backed up before OTTO writes to them, nothing is written without explicit consent, and a restore action rolls every value back to its original state | |
| 148 | +* New Feature: Language Alternates (hreflang) can now be switched on or off per post and page from the editor settings | |
| 149 | +* New Feature: A global setting now controls whether OTTO or custom SEO values take priority across the site | |

| 154 | +* Fix: OTTO renders now keep third-party og:title and twitter:title instead of stripping them | |
| 155 | +* Fix: Sitemaps no longer include URLs that redirect elsewhere, whether the redirect comes from MetaSync, Rank Math or Yoast | |
| 156 | +* Fix: The Visual HTML Editor now refuses saves that cannot preserve the stored document, protecting landing pages and full-document templates | |
| 157 | +* Fix: Redirect destination and loop guards now apply on every write path, closing the gaps that allowed self-referencing and looping redirects | |
| 158 | +* Fix: Language Alternates no longer emit duplicate tags on WPML sites, always include a self-reference, and validate their entries | |
| 159 | +* Fix: The Instant Indexing service account file can now be saved, with clear upload confirmation and the ability to remove or reselect it | |
| 160 | +* Fix: Plugin updates no longer fatal on a stale admin class during a White Label import | |
| 161 | +* Improvement: SEO Health missing title and description filters are now optimized for large catalogues | |

| 114 | -* Fix: The six Post/Page Editor "Disable" switches now actually suppress the matching frontend output, instead of only hiding the editor meta box | |
| 115 | -* Security: Settings sanitization no longer lets raw POST input override sanitized values, closing a way crafted input could bypass sanitizers | |
| 116 | -* Fix: Corrupted Local Business logo values are automatically repaired instead of continuing to serve a broken URL | |
| 117 | -* Fix: Video sitemaps now detect theme-injected video players, instead of silently omitting every video on themes that inject players at render time | |
| 118 | -* Security: The OTTO Debug page and its AJAX handlers are now fully disabled, instead of being reachable by any site admin | |
| 119 | -* Improvement: The WordPress admin footer space is now hidden on MetaSync admin pages | |
| 120 | -* Fix: OTTO no longer strips page content on Yootheme sites, by restricting link and heading persistence to Gutenberg blocks | |
| 121 | -* Security: Whitelabel password recovery now uses single-use, short-lived reset links instead of emailing the password directly | |
| 122 | -* Fix: Imported SEO values now consistently lose to OTTO through a single precedence resolver, instead of being overridden inconsistently across different code paths | |
| 123 | -* Fix: The Menu Icon settings field no longer fatals when its value contains a percent sign | |
| 124 | -* Security: Debug Mode's wp-config.php backups are now written atomically and no longer leave guessable, credential-bearing backup files in the web root | |
| 125 | - | |
| 126 | -= 2.6.24 = | |
| 127 | -* Improvement: OTTO crawl notifications are now held in a durable queue with bounded retries and backoff, so large webhook batches are no longer silently truncated and each URL's outcome is recorded | |
| 128 | -* Improvement: The sitemap settings screen no longer offers page-builder and internal post types in its post-type pickers | |
| 129 | -* Improvement: The sitemap taxonomy picker now lists only genuine content taxonomies, hiding navigation menus, link categories and similar internal ones | |
| 130 | -* Improvement: The promotional sidebar is now hidden once the site is connected, giving admin pages their full width back, and Quick Links point to working pages — the dead SEO Academy link is gone, Documentation and Contact Support were added, and branded links are hidden on whitelabeled installs | |
| 131 | -* Improvement: The Local Business Type selector now shows a neutral "Select Type" placeholder instead of appearing pre-selected when no type has been chosen | |
| 132 | -* Improvement: The Compatibility page now detects Bricks Builder when it is installed as a theme rather than a plugin | |
| 133 | -* Security: MCP JWT tokens are now bound to the API key that issued them, so rotating the key or disconnecting the site revokes existing tokens immediately instead of leaving them valid for 24 hours | |
| 134 | -* Security: Failed MCP API-key authentication attempts are now counted, throttled and locked out instead of being accepted at unlimited speed | |
| 135 | -* Security: The schema markup editor's background requests now require edit permission on the target post, so lower-privileged users can no longer read other authors' drafts, private posts or password-protected content | |
| 136 | -* Security: Removed the shared whitelabel/debug credential, required administrator rights for OTTO debug tools, gated Google Index credential and destructive debug actions, disabled raw database and option reads over MCP, and reduced telemetry to path-only context that honors opt-out | |
| 137 | -* Security: The HTML editor and whitelabel recovery now require the matching capability, Developer Tools passwords are hashed and migrated off plaintext, and both MCP bridges run through one authenticated, rate-limited handler | |
| 138 | -* Security: Redirect destinations are now validated before use, closing an open-redirect risk in the redirections module | |
| 139 | -* Fix: A /sitemapN.xml URL with no sitemap behind it now returns 404 instead of serving the home page under a 200, which was creating unlimited soft-404 duplicate URLs for crawlers | |
| 140 | -* Fix: Sitemap generation now reports a real failure when the sitemap could not be stored, instead of showing success while the site serves no sitemap | |
| 141 | -* Fix: Opening an OTTO preview no longer signs administrators out of wp-admin or breaks the admin session check | |
| 142 | -* Fix: MetaSync no longer emits a second Article JSON-LD block on posts that already have one from Yoast, Rank Math or AIOSEO | |
| 143 | -* Fix: Slashes, backslashes and quotes are preserved in Local Business and Article schema values, so a name like 24/7 "Test" Plumbing is no longer output as 247 Test Plumbing | |
| 144 | -* Fix: Search engine crawlers whose user agent omits the brand name (Yahoo's Slurp, Applebot, Sogou, Exabot and others) are now recognized as search engines and served optimized pages instead of being throttled | |
| 145 | -* Fix: OTTO's category and tag SEO values are no longer mirrored into Yoast / Rank Math / AIOSEO storage when the matching OTTO Persistence setting is turned off | |
| 146 | -* Fix: OTTO's structured data is no longer copied into Rank Math or Yoast storage when the structured data Persistence setting is turned off | |
| 147 | -* Fix: Rank Math's robots tag is now suppressed when MetaSync holds a robots value for the post, so exactly one robots meta tag ships | |
| 148 | -* Fix: Removing MetaSync's breadcrumb from a third-party schema graph no longer breaks Rank Math's own schema logic | |
| 149 | -* Fix: Posts synced from Content Genius keep the page template the site actually uses, instead of being forced onto the theme's plain template and losing their layout | |
| 150 | -* Fix: Redirects now preserve the incoming query string, including through redirect chains, and OTTO no longer serves mismatched HTML and SEO metadata when its internal fetch is redirected elsewhere | |
| 151 | -* Fix: The WordPress admin sidebar no longer drifts down the screen while scrolling on MetaSync admin pages | |
| 152 | -* Fix: The connect status box no longer squeezes the "Website Not Registered" message into a one-word-per-line column with a detached warning icon | |
| 153 | -* Fix: The "Page Builder Detected" notice now appears only on the plugin settings screen where the setting lives, instead of repeating on every plugin page | |
| 154 | -* Fix: Previewing a draft no longer serves the home page instead of the draft on sites using SiteGround Optimizer — OTTO now skips WordPress core preview requests | |
| 155 | -* Fix: The Local Business logo is no longer lost when the settings are saved — the selected image survives the save instead of being rewritten into a broken link, so both the admin preview and the logo published in structured data stay correct | |
| 156 | -* Fix: The SearchAtlas Dashboard admin page no longer fatals after an in-place upgrade when one plugin file is still being served from a stale cache | |
| 157 | -* Fix: Redirections sweep — 24 verified issues fixed, including importers failing on serialized data, the search box triggering a bulk delete, a hit-counter race, non-deterministic rule ordering, duplicate rules on re-import, missing redirect-loop guards and silently dropped save failures | |
| 158 | -* Fix: Media optimization sweep — 18 verified issues fixed, including data loss in the replace strategy (sub-size originals deleted while only the full-size URL was rewritten), an author-role privilege escalation, srcset entries pointing at missing files, and a race between cron and browser batch ticks | |
| 159 | -* Fix: Robots / sitemap / indexing sweep — 25 verified issues fixed, including core's "discourage search engines" setting being overwritten, the virtual robots.txt never being served on the frontend, IndexNow rejecting platform keys, existing Sitemap: lines being destroyed on update, and uninstall leaving everything behind | |

| 161 | -= 2.6.23 = | |
| 162 | -* Improvement: The plugin now automatically detects when a host is blocking GET/POST traffic to Search Atlas, both on activation and on a weekly recheck, instead of requiring the site owner to run the check manually | |
| 163 | -* Improvement: Pages that don't rely on sessions can now be cached by the host again on SiteGround/Oxygen sites using OTTO's HTTP render path, restoring page-load speed | |
| 164 | -* Improvement: The Custom Pages STATUS column now shows "Published" / "Draft" / "Pending Review" instead of the raw "Publish" verb, and no longer looks like a clickable button | |
| 165 | -* Improvement: The Excluded URLs table's description text is now readable in dark mode, and the Recheck button no longer deletes the entry it was rechecking | |
| 166 | -* Improvement: OTTO's stale suggestion fallback is now retained for a fixed 12 hours | |
| 167 | -* Improvement: Removed the non-functional "Grant Temporary Support Access" option from the Report Issue page, since it never actually granted any access | |
| 168 | -* Improvement: Lowered the minimum required PHP version from 8.2 to 8.1 (AVIF image conversion still requires PHP 8.2+; WebP is unaffected) | |
| 169 | -* Security: Schema/JSON-LD output is now safely encoded everywhere it's emitted, closing a script-injection risk from crafted field values | |
| 170 | -* Fix: "Auto Draft" no longer gets stored as the page's social title/description when the social meta box is opened before a post has a real title | |
| 171 | -* Fix: On non-English sites, a localized "Auto Draft" placeholder (e.g. "Automatischer Entwurf") no longer leaks into the page title, og:title or twitter:title — the earlier fix only recognized the English placeholder text | |
| 172 | -* Fix: OTTO's status indicators (admin bar, debug bar, SEO columns) now correctly show a manually excluded URL as disabled instead of still reporting it as enabled | |
| 173 | -* Fix: "Ends with" and "regex" OTTO URL exclusion rules are now honored on the page a visitor actually loads, not just when a URL is queued for optimization | |
| 174 | -* Fix: A redirect rule no longer causes OTTO's internal page fetch to re-enter itself repeatedly, which could exhaust the site's PHP workers and take it offline | |
| 175 | -* Fix: Restored host-level page caching on sites combining a booking plugin with SiteGround Optimizer, which had been forced into an always-uncached state | |
| 176 | -* Fix: The page's <head> tag is no longer rewritten in a way that breaks other plugins or host layers that inject scripts or styles into the head | |
| 177 | -* Fix: Google Fonts using multiple font families no longer get truncated to a single font on OTTO-rendered pages | |
| 178 | -* Fix: Blog posts synced from Content Genius no longer lose their tables, and post markup is no longer mangled on PHP 8.4 | |
| 179 | -* Fix: Deleting the last excluded URL on a page beyond the first no longer dead-ends the list on a false "No excluded URLs found" state | |
| 180 | -* Fix: Hidden admin pages (Local Business, Breadcrumbs, Site Verification, Setup Wizard) now show a proper browser tab title instead of a blank one | |
| 181 | -* Fix: OTTO's internal values are no longer mirrored into Yoast / Rank Math / AIOSEO storage when the matching OTTO Persistence setting is turned off | |
| 182 | - | |
| 183 | -= 2.6.22 = | |
| 184 | -* Improvement: The WordPress admin sidebar now shows a focused 8-item menu by default, with the remaining pages reachable from the plugin's in-page sidebar and a new search box for finding them | |
| 185 | -* Improvement: The Redirections, 404 Monitor, Heartbeat Error Monitor and Media Optimization lists now have a results-per-page selector that remembers each user's choice | |
| 186 | -* Improvement: The classic editor's separate MetaSync meta boxes (SEO, Robots, Canonical, Redirection, Social and Open Graph, Schema, Video Sitemap) are consolidated into a single tabbed "SEO Suite" box with a live social preview | |
| 187 | -* Improvement: OTTO diagnostic response headers are now sent only while Debug Mode is on, so they no longer appear on public responses or leak the product name on white-labeled installs | |
| 188 | -* Security: Refreshing the Plugin Auth Token now requires administrator permissions | |
| 189 | -* Fix: Pages built with Divi are no longer broken by OTTO — an HTML parsing flaw discarded every attribute following an unquoted attribute value, which stacked carousel slides, threw the header and footer out of position and left the page growing without settling | |
| 190 | -* Fix: Articles synced from Content Genius no longer repeat the contents of a bulleted list as plain paragraphs directly beneath it | |
| 191 | -* Fix: SEO titles and descriptions imported from All in One SEO now have their smart tags resolved instead of being stored literally, which had left tokens such as #post_title rendering as the page title and suppressing OTTO | |
| 192 | -* Fix: A page no longer emits two conflicting og:description tags when a third-party SEO plugin owns the output for that post | |
| 193 | -* Fix: og:title and twitter:title are no longer left off the page when a third-party SEO plugin's tags are suppressed — a replacement is now emitted from the MetaSync title instead of the raw post title | |
| 194 | -* Fix: When OTTO cannot apply its suggestions, the un-optimized page is now cached for at most 60 seconds instead of the host's full cache lifetime, so a brief hiccup no longer pins un-optimized markup for hours and looks like the OTTO title reverting | |
| 195 | -* Fix: A slow or unreachable OTTO connection no longer ties up the site's PHP workers — repeated calls to a failing endpoint now pause briefly before being retried, and requests that never needed optimization (404s, static files, robots.txt and well-known paths) skip the lookup entirely | |
| 196 | -* Fix: A partially updated install no longer takes the front end down with a fatal error when another plugin writes post meta | |
| 197 | -* Fix: Stale or malformed scheduled OTTO background jobs are now skipped instead of causing fatal errors | |
| 198 | -* Fix: Exporting white-label settings no longer downloads the file twice | |
| 199 | -* Fix: The Local Business logo remove icon is now a small badge offset from the image instead of an oversized button overlapping the preview | |
| 200 | - | |
| 201 | -= 2.6.21 = | |
| 202 | -* Improvement: The Sitemap Settings screen now warns when a generated News or Video sitemap contains 0 URLs, so it is clear whether that is expected or a misconfiguration | |
| 203 | -* Improvement: Added optional SEO Title, Meta Description, Noindex and Nofollow columns to the Posts and Pages admin list (enable via Screen Options) | |
| 204 | -* Fix: OTTO no longer emits a redundant Vary: Accept-Encoding header, which could cause CDN edge caches to treat pages as non-cacheable and route every visitor to origin PHP | |
| 205 | -* Fix: Importing Yoast advanced robots meta no longer throws a fatal error when the stored value is not a plain string | |
| 206 | -* Fix: Page-cache warmer and performance-auditor requests are no longer throttled by OTTO rendering, which had been preventing some sites page caches from populating and made PageSpeed scores appear artificially low | |
| 207 | -* Fix: Removed the redundant Index checkbox from Common Robots settings, fixed a case where No Index set via the meta box could be silently ignored when advanced robots data was present, and simplified noindex output to only include indexing/crawling directives | |
| 208 | -* Fix: The SEO Health dashboard now reads the same SEO title and description a page actually uses, instead of showing OTTO value when the customer own sidebar value was what really rendered | |
| 209 | -* Fix: The plugin REST API no longer returns 401 on sites with a strict logged-in-users-only REST restriction from a security plugin or snippet, which had been silently breaking publishing and syncing on those sites | |
| 210 | - | |
| 211 | -= 2.6.20 = | |
| 212 | -* Improvement: The OTTO Debug comparison panel now shows the Meta Description when OTTO delivers it as raw header HTML instead of a structured replacement | |
| 213 | -* Improvement: Added a tooltip to the Content Genius Synchronization card explaining that "Sync Now" sends the site's categories and authors so published articles are assigned correctly | |
| 214 | -* Security: Added the missing permission and nonce checks to the Heartbeat Error Monitor's bulk actions | |
| 215 | -* Fix: The trash icon on the "Remove" button in the Schema Markup meta box is aligned correctly again | |
| 216 | -* Fix: Sitemaps are no longer corrupted by stray PHP notices or warnings emitted by other plugins, which previously produced invalid XML that search engines rejected | |
| 217 | -* Fix: The "Default Page Builder" dropdown no longer renders its option labels invisible unless they are hovered | |
| 218 | -* Fix: Corrected the malformed robots meta tag produced when SEO data is synced into Rank Math | |
| 219 | -* Fix: Open Graph and Twitter tags are no longer stripped when the per-post "Enable Open Graph and Social Media Tags" toggle is off, so Yoast SEO and All in One SEO can supply their own again | |
| 220 | -* Fix: The delete icon in the Robots.txt Backup History panel now uses a consistent color across WordPress versions | |
| 221 | -* Fix: The Compatibility page no longer reports the site's active theme as "Not installed" when the theme's display name differs from its folder name | |
| 222 | -* Fix: The Local Business logo "Add or Upload File" button opens the media library again | |
| 223 | -* Fix: Bulk actions chosen from the control at the bottom of the Redirections, 404 Monitor and Heartbeat Error Monitor lists now apply instead of doing nothing | |
| 224 | -* Fix: Saved Local Business details are now output as LocalBusiness structured data on the front end | |
| 225 | -* Fix: The per-page "Disable OTTO" toggle now also suppresses previously stored OTTO titles and descriptions instead of continuing to serve them | |
