Written on .

Hello,

We're pleased to announce the release of 4SEO version 4.5.0. This is a feature release with many new features, multiple improvements to existing things and a few bug fixes:

Here are the highlights:

  • Added new SEO metadata rule type: allows customizing page title, description meta, robots meta and canonical for an entire set of pages with one rule
  • Added support for entering custom OpenGraph (Facebook and others) and TwitterCards title and description per page. Both from admin and frontend
  • Added ability to analyze a single page immediately rather than waiting for the background process to analyze it. Trigger analysis from the admin or the frontend. Use on newly created page, or refresh data for already analyzed pages.
  • Added content replacer ability to replace content only in Page title, meta description, OpenGraph title or description and Twitter Cards title or description.
  • Now checking for any applicable redirects from the native Joomla Redirect component before processing error display rules
  • Added option to redirect uppercase, or mixed-case, URLs to their all lowercase counterpart. Enabled by default but disabled if 4SEF or sh404SEF are running, as they already handle that situation better
  • Added new full translation to Lithuanian by Andrius Balsevičius
  • J2Store product SKU, name, brand, price and description now available as dynamic variables usable in content or meta
  • Hikashop product SKU, name, brand, price, description and condition now available as dynamic variables usable in content or meta
  • Updated Core Web Vitals library to latest, takes into account Prerendering in Chrome 108
  • Now automatically excluding language switcher flag images from sitemap
  • Image/file browser now sorts files and folder before displaying them
  • Detect when invalid access key has been entered on Joomla 4 Update sites pages and prevent starting a connection to Google Search Console if so
  • Blur update key when input field not focused
  • Sitemaps images exclusions rules are not always applied
  • gRegular expressions target in redirect rules cannot be entered unless they start with http(s)://
  • Fatal error on some rare configuration of article home pages
  • Long links are not broken/ellipsized on list pages

Please see this page for a full changelog. This release is immediately available both from the download area and using the one-click Joomla! updater of your web site.
