Yoast SEO 2.1

Features​

Enhancements​

  • Removes the Twitter url meta tag, since Twitter no longer uses it.
  • Shows a validation error when a user selects a featured image for a post that is smaller than 200x200 pixels.
  • Shows a validation error when a user tries to use shortcodes in the titles and meta's settings page that are incompatible with the type of content those titles and meta's are associated with.

  • Upgraded to Facebook Graph API 3.0 for fetching Facebook user ID's straight from Facebook.
