SEOPress 6.5 is now available. We encourage you to update your site as soon as possible to take advantage of the latest features and improvements.
🎉 New – OpenAI + SEOPress, third iteration
We continue to improve our OpenAI integration by adding the GPT 3.5 Turbo model released this month. Two major benefits for the end user:
- 10x cheaper than DaVinci
- more efficient
We are closely following the arrival of GPT 4.0 which should make it possible to resolve certain weak points, in particular the limitation to a specific number of characters for metadata suggestions (title / meta description).
🎉 New – enhanced WPML integration
We finally support multi-domain setup for XML sitemaps with WPML.
If you have configured different domain name per language, now, with version 6.5 of SEOPress, your XML sitemaps will only load the appropriate URLs based on your domain.
This is done automatically.
Flushing permalinks might be needed in case of 404 errors.
Polylang users can follow this guide to enable multidomain XML sitemaps.
We also fixed 2 other compatibility issues with WPML:
- remove /product-category/ option (make sure to translate your slug taxonomy in WPML then flush your permalinks)
- export the permalink/slug in correct language when using our CSV export metadata tool
🎉 Other news
This new version of SEOPress also brings its share of improvements and fixes including:
- we fixed an issue with the next version of WordPress 6.2,
- we now automatically install and active SEOPress Free if missing when activating SEOPress PRO,
- you can now add unlimited social accounts from SEO, Social Networks, Social accounts tab,
- our RSS feature can now add your post thumbnail to your feed, so tools like Mailchimp can use them to send automatic newsletters based on your RSS feed,
- we have improved our code to the W3C validator,
- and fixed several PHP warnings and notices
- and many other things!
For developers, we have added 4 new hooks:
- ‘seopress_pro_video_sitemap_content‘ to filter the content used to find YouTube videos for the video XML sitemap. Now you can pass, for example, your own custom fields.
- ‘seopress_disable_archives_redirect_url‘ to filter redirect URL if author / date archives disabled
- ‘seopress_disable_archives_redirect_status‘ to filter status code of the redirect if author / date archives disabled
- ‘seopress_pro_significant_kw_disable_shortcode‘: we no longer run shortcodes to find signifiant keywords for our internal linking suggestion to avoid compatibility issues with some page builders
