Yoast SEO in Version 3 mit vielen Bugs erschienen

Das in WordPress Blogs gerne genutzte SEO-Plugin „Yoast SEO“ hat heute einen Versionssprung von 2.3.5 auf 3.0 bzw. 3.0.1 gemacht. Mit dem Update wurden neue Features hinzugefügt, aber auch allgemeine Verbesserungen und Bugfixes durchgeführt. Laut diversen neuen Bewertungseinträgen von heute scheint das Update jedoch nicht gut zu laufen und diverse Probleme auszulösen. Daher empfehle ich jedem WordPress-Betreiber, der auf das Plugin setzt, noch ein paar Tage mit dem Update zu warten, bis die Probleme behoben sind.

Selbst mit dem direkt nachgereichten Update auf 3.0.1 scheinen die Probleme nicht behoben zu sein. Falls ihr das Update macht, legt euch also auf jeden Fall ein Backup an (das sollte man natürlich sowieso immer machen, aber bei bekannten Problemen ist es noch wichtiger).

Hier der aktuelle Changelog zu Version 3.0 von Yoast SEO:

Release Date: November 18th, 2015

Features:
- Adds realtime content analysis to the Yoast SEO metabox for all post types and taxonomies.
- Adds a tool to recalculate all SEO scores using the new client side analysis.
- Adds a content analysis plugin for parsing shortcodes before the content is analyzed. This means the snippet preview will now take the rendered content of shortcodes into account.
- Adds a content analysis plugin for parsing replace vars before the content is analyzed, allowing templates set in the Yoast SEO admin to work everywhere.
- Adds a weekly check if the homepage is indexable (in collaboration with OnPage.org).
- Adds possibility to import titles, metas and settings from the WPSEO.de plugin.
- Adds possibility to set Facebook (Opengraph), Twitter and Google+ metadata for taxonomies.
Enhancements:
- We’ve completely revised the UX of the Yoast SEO metabox. We’ve introduced multiple sections which in turn can contain one or more tabs.
- Makes the Yoast SEO metabox on the taxonomy edit page the same as on the post edit page.
- Makes sure the capability for the General Settings menu is also wpseo_manage_options_capability.
- Adds a fix to the tour allowing for multiple plugins to use WP pointers at the same time.
- Makes sure all Yoast SEO settings pages are also accessible through the WP admin bar.
Bugfixes:
- Fixes a bug where the og:image would not be set, even when a default image was available.
- Fixes a bug where the links in the sitemap would ‚randomly‘ change from https to http or the other way around (in very rare circumstances).
- Fixes a bug where it was not possible to upload different images for different social media in the post metabox.
- Fixes a bug where users would see the after-update notice, but were not allowed to visit the about page.
- Fixes a bug where we were not properly splitting taxonomy metadata when a shared taxonomy term got split through a Cron job, props Daniel Homer.
Other notable changes:
- Adds a JavaScript API for registering data modifications that is quite similar to add_filter/apply_filters in WordPress. Allows for filtering data before it is analyzed. See YoastSEO.js.
- Adds a JavaScript API for adding content analysis tests, seeYoastSEO.js.
Because we moved the entire content analysis to JavaScript, we had to remove the following PHP filters:
- wpseo_pre_analysis_post_content. Alternative:Modifications API.
- wpseo_metadesc_length. Functionality removed.
- wpseo_metadesc_length_reason. Functionality removed.
- wpseo_body_length_score. Alternative: Content Checks API.
- wpseo_linkdex_results. Alternative: Content Checks API.
- wpseo_snippet. Functionality removed.
