We're pleased to announce the release of sh404SEF version 4.23.2. This is a maintenance release which fixes likely the longest standing bug in sh404SEF history, just above 10 years since it was introdcued!
Important: sh404SEF now requires Joomla 3.9.0 or more recent. It won't install or update on older Joomla versions.
Important: As per previous notices, all our extensions now require PHP 5.6 as a minimum PHP version. sh404SEF or wbAMP will not install or update if a lower PHP version is detected.
Here are the highlights:
Improved cleaning of Breadcrumbs structured data links provided by Joomla
Analytics graphs show errors. Bug in Google Chart, forced using version 49 to workaround.
Prevent K2 structured data breaking the page when sh404SEF tags are used to insert social buttons
There may be 2 URLs selected as main for custom URLS after performing a 404 errors purge operation. Longest standing bug in sh404SEF, thanks Andrea!
Wrong page number on category blog page titles if number of leading items per page is not default
Possible fatal error when creating SEF URLs programmatically from the backend
Page title is not translated on 404 error page when using the Joomla error page instead of the sh404SEF one.
