Yoast SEO 15.9.1

Welcome to Yoast SEO 15.9.1! This release contains an improvement for the FAQ block schema output, and makes sure the plugin is compatible with WordPress Core's auto-update feature and robots changes. Read more about those changes in our post about Yoast SEO 15.9.1 and WordPress 5.7!

Enhancements​

  • Removes mainEntityOfPage from our FAQ Schema block output and moves it to mainEntity on the WebPage output, fixing a Google parse issue with those FAQ blocks.
  • Performance enhancements in the post indexable builder by skipping link creation on drafts.

Bugfixes​

  • Fixes a bug where indexable creation caused compatibility problems with code that would hook in to new post creation.

Other​

  • Adds a notification to prompt users to enable auto-updates for Yoast SEO, in case they also have auto-updates for WordPress Core enabled.
  • Ensures compatibility with WordPress Core's robots meta tag by hooking into the wp_robots filter and using our settings there.
  • Enables/disables auto-updates for the Yoast Woocommerce, News, Video and Local SEO plugins when auto-updates for Yoast SEO are enabled/disabled.
