Auto-update self-enable now covers silent updates: v1.4.4 added the plugin to WordPress’s auto-update list only on activation and on KAF Panel reconnection. WordPress does not fire the activation hook on background plugin updates (“Update Now” or auto-update), so sites that updated silently never had auto-updates turned on. The self-enable call now also runs on every init (idempotent — does nothing if already enabled), guaranteeing the next admin page load after any update enables auto-updates if it was missing.
1.4.4
Auto-update enabled by default: KAF Connector now adds itself to the WordPress core auto-update list on activation and on successful KAF Panel connection. Future releases install silently in the background; users can still disable auto-updates from the WP-admin Plugins page at any time. Existing installations gain this behavior the moment they (re)connect to KAF Panel.
1.4.3
New apply-batch category — post_status_update: Flip an existing post’s status (e.g. draft → publish) without touching its content. Body shape: {post_status_update:[{id, status:’publish’|’draft’|’private’}]}. Idempotent (no-op when the post is already in the target status) and returns a fresh permalink in updated:[{id,url,edit_url,status}]. Powers the KAF panel’s one-click “Publish on WordPress” action for Auto SEO Blog drafts.
1.4.2
Bug fix — Sites with REST API disabled could not connect: When a security plugin or functions.php code disabled the WordPress REST API entirely, KAF requests to /wp-json/kaf/ were also blocked. The plugin now hooks rest_authentication_errors at PHP_INT_MAX priority to exempt its own namespace; the REST API remains closed site-wide while only KAF endpoints stay accessible.
1.4.1
Bug fix — False “Page Fixes ACTIVE” signal: The admin status panel and health endpoint’s features.apply_batch flag were reading class_exists(‘KAF_SEO_Repair_Apply’) — because the class always loads at boot, it returned true even when SEO Repair was disabled. Fixed to use kaf_repair_state.enabled synced from the KAF panel.
Submenus hidden when disconnected: Mutation History, Active Rules, KAF AI Content, and Policy History submenus now return early when kaf_connection_code is empty and reappear after a successful connection.
