KOZ SEO Core

Changelog

2.1.22

• WordPress.org compatibility metadata: updated Tested up to to WordPress 7.1.

2.1.21

• Hardens JSON-LD output for WordPress.org review by using script-safe default wp_json_encode() escaping.
• Removes JSON_UNESCAPED_* flags from generated JSON output paths while preserving valid JSON responses and audit data.
• No SEO, sitemap, translation, AI Vision or saved-metadata behavior changes.

2.1.20

• Stops changing the activation status of the former UA FREE SEO plugin; administrators remain in control of plugin activation and deactivation.
• Documents the optional OpenAI service used only when an administrator explicitly runs AI Vision ALT analysis.
• Keeps SEO output, sitemap cleanup, translation integration and saved metadata behavior unchanged.

2.1.19

• Excludes Pagelayer technical templates from the WordPress XML sitemap and marks direct template views noindex/follow.
• Removes the WordPress users sitemap whenever author archives are configured noindex, keeping sitemap discovery aligned with robots policy.
• Leaves normal pages, posts, public gallery content and active translator-managed routes unchanged.

2.1.18

• Keeps all source-language SEO features fully standalone when no translation plugin is installed.
• Accepts an optional provider-neutral translation contract for multilingual hreflang filtering.
• Does not force KOZ language namespaces when another translator owns multilingual routing or SEO.
• Integrates automatically with KOZ Static Translate for ready-only hreflang and translated sitemap discovery.

2.1.15

• Adds an administrator-triggered browser-rendered accessibility audit for published pages.
• Checks actual same-site rendered HTML for H1 count, empty ALT text, potential empty links, meta description presence and noindex state.
• Runs in the administrator browser to avoid long PHP export requests; no database writes or external HTTP requests are performed.
• Exports a privacy-safe JSON result containing public paths and counts only, without page HTML or visitor data.

2.1.14

• Prevents WordPress block and gallery configuration JSON from leaking into automatic meta and social descriptions.
• Uses a clean page-title fallback when a gallery page has too little natural text for a useful description.
• Keeps explicitly saved manual SEO descriptions unchanged.

2.1.13

• Keeps the AI Vision batch controls usable after applying ALT values or after a transient provider readiness check.
• Applying selected ALT values no longer forces a full page reload.

2.1.12

• Fixed Plugin Check escaping and sanitization findings in AI Vision ALT workflow.
• Preserved editable candidates, approve/skip/re-analyze controls, and new-media queue.

2.1.11

• Lets administrators edit every AI Vision ALT candidate before approval.
• Adds explicit approve/apply, skip and per-image re-analysis controls.
• Adds an “Empty ALT, not analyzed” routine queue and an all-unprocessed queue for existing ALT review.
• Shows a pending counter for unprocessed images with empty ALT so newly uploaded media can be handled in later batches.
• Keeps Vision review state across plugin upgrades instead of re-queuing already processed images because of a version bump.
• Existing WordPress ALT values remain protected unless replacement is explicitly enabled.

2.1.10

• Makes Vision batches resilient to intermittent WordPress/OpenAI model-discovery failures.
• Retries multimodal text generation with progressively simpler model-selection constraints.
• Removes structured-output and max-token capability requirements from model discovery; JSON is requested and validated in the prompt instead.
• Does not write ALT during analysis and preserves the explicit review/apply workflow.

2.1.9

• Moves AI Vision analysis from admin-ajax to a dedicated authenticated REST endpoint, following the WordPress 7.0 AI Client integration guidance.
• Avoids the false “OpenAI is not ready” readiness result seen only inside admin-ajax while the connector is available in the normal admin request.
• Keeps ALT analysis read-only until explicit apply and preserves the existing OpenAI Connector credentials flow.

2.1.8

• Raises the minimum WordPress version to 7.0 because the AI Vision workflow uses the native WordPress AI Client introduced in 7.0.
• Removes Plugin Check compatibility errors for wp_ai_client_prompt() and wp_supports_ai().
• Tightens nonce/input handling and removes the reported direct SQL/slow meta-query warnings from the AI Vision ALT manager.
• Replaces metadata queries used for queue/preview/statistics with a lightweight cursor, recent-ID list and incremental counters.
• Uses GPT-5.6 Luna first, with Terra and GPT-5.4 nano as fallbacks for OpenAI Vision analysis.

2.1.7

• Replaces metadata/filename ALT heuristics with actual AI vision analysis.
• Uses the native WordPress 7.0 AI Client and OpenAI connector; KOZ SEO Core no longer stores an OpenAI API key.
• Analyzes images progressively in administrator-controlled batches and never writes ALT during analysis.
• Returns content/decorative/uncertain decisions with confidence and a human-readable reason.
• Shows actual thumbnails, current ALT and AI candidates before any write.
• Preserves existing ALT by default; replacement requires an explicit administrator checkbox.

2.1.6

• Adds a Media ALT assistant for image attachments with an explicit dry run before any write.
• Auto-applies only high-confidence candidates from existing caption, description or clearly human-authored attachment titles.
• Never overwrites existing ALT values; filename-only, generic and page-context-only cases remain review-only.
• Applies safe candidates in AJAX batches to avoid one large write request.

2.1.5

• Resolves non-root public permalinks before trusting front-page conditionals, so page-builder routes keep their own title, description, canonical and Open Graph URL.
• Leaves the real homepage behavior and saved SEO metadata unchanged.

2.1.5

• Fixes SEO context on valid page-builder/custom-rendered permalinks that WordPress does not expose as singular requests.
• Uses the configured organization description for homepage metadata instead of falling back to a polluted site tagline.

2.1.3

• Strict WordPress.org prefix re-audit with canonical kozseo / KOZSEO identifiers.
• Preserves legacy settings, post metadata, AI manifest route and public filter compatibility.

2.1.1

• Aligned the public context and hreflang filter hooks with the KOZ SEO prefix required by Plugin Check.

2.1.0

• Rebranded the public package as KOZ SEO Core.
• Added KOZ Suite navigation, ten runtime administration languages and English fallback.
• Added the KOZ AI manifest endpoint while retaining the former endpoint for compatibility.
• Preserved existing settings, post metadata and migration-safe read-only diagnostics.
• Replaced bundled PO/MO translations with runtime dictionaries and a source POT file.
• Updated ownership, support and repository metadata.

2.0.8

• Last stable release under the former UA FREE public branding.
