Site changes a plenty

I’ve gone ahead and update the site starting with a new theme. This time it’s the current twenty-seventeen theme with a couple tweaks like sidebars on pages. I have also removed a bunch of the old examples as they were not getting much in the way of legitimate use, if you would like to see one leave a comment on the article and I can re-upload it.

Auto SEO 2.5.5

I have updated Auto SEO to support a few new keywords including categories and tags for that post. It’s been up on the repository for a few days now so you probably already have the update waiting on your site. Overall it’s a pretty minor update but the functionality can be more easily expanded so if there is another keyword you think would be useful let me know.

WordPress Plugins Updated

All the WordPress plugins have been tested with WordPress 4.3 and updated to reflect that fact. In additional to the testing I have also made a few other updates.

Backdrop

Updated the CSS/JS generator to be more reliable. It was already pretty solid, but I noticed that for whatever reason when I moved it to the new server it was erroring out. The changes should make it more resilient to random quirks like that.

Critique

If you have the overall average enabled it will not post microdata to the article. This data should get picked up by google giving your search result a nice star rating. I’ve checked it against the google microdata checker and it seems to be good, however it’s limited right now. The plan is to adjust it based on any feedback received so that it matches the real world use. If you have any suggestion feel free to send them my way.

The new plugins can be found on my WordPress.org plugins author page or, the plugin installer inside WordPress, or updated from within your installation if you have the installed already.

Auto SEO updated – first WP plugin with a translation.

I updated Auto SEO to version 2.3.3 today. There are no new features in this version except for a translation into Spanish by Andrew Kurtis of WebHostingHub. This is the first WordPress plugin I have made that has been translated.  I’d like to thank Andrew for taking the time to not only translate the plugin for submitting the translation to be included in future releases.

If you want like to translate this or any other of the plugins into another language just let me know. My other plugins are some translation support, and I can finish that off if there is another language you would like them to support.
