Images downloaded by the cron pull-fallback now get an SEO-friendly filename derived from their alt text (the article headline for cover images) plus a timestamp, instead of the generic image-0.webp / main-image.webp basenames. Already-imported images are not renamed.
1.1.3
You can now choose which WordPress user (Administrator, Editor or Author) is set as the author of posts created by the plugin. Pick the author from the BlogSEO dashboard under WordPress integration → Update Configuration. Applies to both the push endpoint and the cron pull-fallback; existing posts are not modified.
1.1.2
Posts created by the plugin (both the push endpoint and the cron pull-fallback) now get a real author instead of “no author”: the admin who paired the plugin, falling back to the site’s oldest administrator. Existing posts are not modified.
1.1.1
SEO: the canonical URL is no longer pinned to the post’s temporary draft URL (the “?p=” form). It’s left to your SEO plugin (Rank Math, Yoast, All in One SEO, SEOPress) to derive from the published permalink, so search engines index the post’s real, pretty URL.
Media library: sync now serves a larger preview thumbnail, so images in the BlogSEO media browser look sharp instead of pixelated.
1.1.0
Media library: adds a read-only endpoint so BlogSEO can browse this site’s image library and let you assign your own images to articles instead of AI-generated ones.
Reliability: tightened the poll’s per-run time budget and sized each image download to the remaining budget, so on hosts that run wp-cron inline (ALTERNATE_WP_CRON) a single poll can’t make a page wait — work is kept to short, bounded steps and the rest is deferred to the next run.
1.0.5
Reliability: each poll now processes articles within a fixed time budget and defers the rest to the next run, so a large image backlog can never tie up a PHP worker. Deferred articles are picked up on the following poll — nothing is dropped.
1.0.4
Security: hardened release packaging to exclude internal build artifacts from the distributed plugin zip.
1.0.3
Poll-fallback reliability: when the WordPress cron loopback is blocked by a firewall/CDN (e.g. Cloudflare challenging requests to the site), the plugin now detects the stalled cron and routes its scheduled poll through a localhost loopback so queued articles still publish. Sites where cron already works are unaffected.
1.0.2
Pull-fallback: render server-provided HTML directly instead of running it through the local markdown converter. Fixes raw markdown ending up in published posts on hosts without Parsedown.
Pull-fallback: sideload inline <img> images into the WordPress media library so they’re no longer hotlinked from BlogSEO.
