Oembed for LinkedIn, onboarding improved, new design for Wizard and more – SEOPress 3.8.9 update release

SEOPress 3.8.9 is now available. We encourage you to update your site as soon as possible to take advantage of the latest features and improvements.

πŸŽ‰ New – Design for Configuration Wizard

We have updated our installation wizard, largely inspired by WooCommerce, for more modernity and clarity.

The SEOPress logo has also been removed in order to improve the white label.

πŸŽ‰ New – Optimized sharing for LinkedIn

Since several months, if the Oembed feature is enabled on your WordPress site (On by default), LinkedIn will stop using the Open Graph metadata for the benefit of the oembed JSON feed.

SEOPress is now adding your custom Open Graph title and Open Graph Image to this feed to have the same sharing experience between all social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Pinterest…

πŸŽ‰ New – Disable automatic schemas per post

It’s now possible to further refine the display conditions of your automatic schemas.

From the Structured data types metabox, under the Automatic tab, you can deactivate all automatic schemas for the current post, or deactivate a specific one.

No need to use a hook anymore to exclude a specific page, post or single post type.

Huge improvements has been done to the user interface:

  • better responsive design
  • onboarding for redirections and schemas post types to help you create redirect / schema

A new dynamic variable %%currentmonth_num%% is available to display the current month in digital format (eg: “7” for July).
