Hi @biolecher,
I am very sorry to hear about the issue, and this isn’t an expected behavior when updating the plugin to the latest version.
To investigate the issue further, we updated SmartCrawl on a test website from the previous version to the latest version, but couldn’t replicate the problem. It’s possible that the issue is specific to your website or a plugin configuration. Since you mentioned the issue was noticed on product pages, can you please confirm if you are using WooCommerce or a different plugin?
I didn’t find any support topics opened by you regarding this issue.
I understand your frustration and want to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Could you please open a support topic so we can investigate the issue further and determine if any improvements are needed on the plugin’s end? Please open a new topic here https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/smartcrawl-seo/ so that we can check this further.
Please find more about the support forum here: https://wordpress.org/support/welcome/
Kind Regards,
Nebu John
