Changelog
Adds seamless bilingual SEO engine integration with Zoulakis Travel theme (v1.4.0), synchronizing SEO titles, descriptions, focus keyphrases, and English package translations upon save and AI JSON import.
0.4.0
- Zoulakis Travel Theme SEO Engine Integration: Added deep native support for the built-in SEO engine of the Zoulakis Travel theme (v1.4.0) alongside existing support for Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, and SEOPress.
- Bilingual SEO Meta Synchronization: Seamlessly synchronizes custom SEO titles (
_zt_seo_title,_zt_en_seo_title), meta descriptions (_zt_seo_description,_zt_en_seo_description), and focus keyphrases (_zt_seo_focus_keyphrase,_zt_en_seo_focus_keyphrase) across package post saves and AI JSON package imports. - Multilingual Package Meta Integration: Automatically synchronizes English package titles (
_zt_en_title) and itinerary content (_zt_en_athsbp_meta) with theme templates and single package views. - Frontend Meta Deduplication: Updated
output_package_meta_tags()to detect the active Zoulakis Travel theme SEO engine (zt_output_seo_and_geo_meta/zt_apply_custom_seo_meta), preventing redundant<meta name="description">tags when the theme renders full OpenGraph, Twitter, and Geo meta tags. - Bi-Directional Admin Meta Fallbacks: Package editor and
get_package_meta()gracefully retrieve existing theme SEO titles, descriptions, and translations, ensuring complete interoperability with zero database conflicts. - Enhanced AI Importer & Schema: Added support for optional SEO title (
seo_title,seo_title_en) and focus keyphrase (focus_keyphrase,focus_keyphrase_en) fields in the AI import schema and reference instructions.
0.3.7
- Fix Admin Notice Text Readability: Resolved styling issue where admin notices (error, warning, and success messages) rendered with illegible white text when displayed inside or above the settings hero banner. Anchored notices properly via
wp-header-endand added dedicated high-contrast styling with explicit dark typography, clean tinted backgrounds, and colored indicator borders. - Fix AI Importer Database Error on Post Excerpt: Fixed
db_insert_error(“Processing of the following field failed: post_excerpt. The provided value may be too large or contains invalid data”) caused by passing multi-byte Greek meta descriptions directly intopost_excerptduring initial post insertion on databases with strict column length or character restrictions. - Resilient Post Insertion & Non-Blocking Excerpt Sync: Initial package creation now safely avoids
post_excerptcolumn constraints, includes automated fallback retries for database exceptions, safely bounds excerpt length inwp_insert_post_data, and non-blockingly synchronizes excerpts while maintaining full SEO description fidelity across all major SEO plugins and post meta.
0.3.6
- Automatic Table Splitting (>20 Rows): Implemented automatic table splitting for package pricing and departure tables. Any table exceeding 20 data rows is automatically divided into multiple consecutive tables within
includes_tables, each preserving the original column headers. - Fix Update/Save Blocking on Large Tables: Resolved issue where browser HTML5 validation on the table builder’s row input (
max="20") prevented form submission (“Please select a value that is no more than 20”) when clicking “Update” or switching post status. Expanded builder input limits to prevent form blocking. - Default Importer Status to Draft: Changed the AI Package Importer default post status to “Save as Draft” instead of immediate publishing, allowing full review of imported packages before going live.
- Updated AI Package Instructions: Added rule requiring AI models to split departure/pricing tables into chunks of up to 20 rows each when generating package JSON.
0.3.5
- Strictly Latin Slugs (Greeklish Transliteration): Enforced a strict rule that package URL slugs (permalinks) must ALWAYS be in lowercase Latin letters (
a-z0-9-). - Automatic Greek Transliteration: Added
latinize_slug()with a comprehensive Greek-to-Latin mapping (diphthongs, uppercase/lowercase accents, and final sigma), converting Greek titles into clean, readable, SEO-optimized Latin slugs (e.g. “Ηράκλειο – Κωνσταντινούπολη” -> “irakleio-konstantinoupoli”). - Core Hook Latin Slug Enforcement: Hooked
wp_insert_post_datafor packages, ensuring any package post created or updated (via importer, REST API, or WP admin) always maintains clean Latin slugs with zero percent-encoded octets. - AI Package Importer & Instructions: Added
slugfield support to AI package instructions, template, and importer, allowing explicit custom Latin slugs while automatically generating them if omitted.
0.3.4
- Database Insertion Hardening & Bug Fix: Fixed package importer
db_insert_error(“Could not insert post into the database”) caused by database column overflow on percent-encoded non-ASCII/Greek slugs and unicode punctuation. - Slug Length Bounding: Automatically bounds generated package post slugs to max 120 characters via
_truncate_post_slug(), preventing MySQLvarchar(200)overflows when appending uniqueness suffixes (-2,-3). - Unicode Dash Normalization: Automatically converts unicode dashes (en-dash, em-dash, horizontal bar, minus) in titles and slugs into standard hyphens.
- Robust Post Insertion Defaults: Explicitly populates
post_name,post_author,post_content,comment_status, andping_statusduring import, with automatic fallback retry asdraftif publishing hooks or status restrictions fail. - Enhanced Error Diagnostics: Captures and displays underlying MySQL database errors in admin import notices when post creation fails.
0.3.3
- Importer Bug Fix & Title Length Limit: Enforced strict 60-character limit on package titles in AI import instructions and package importer, preventing publishing errors and truncated SEO titles in WordPress.
- SEO Meta Description Support: Added
meta_description(and multilingualmeta_description_en) support across the importer, package editor, and REST/save actions. Automatically derives fallback search engine snippets from package subtitles or itineraries when omitted. - SEO Plugin & Theme Synchronization: Automatically synchronizes meta descriptions and titles to
post_excerpt, Rank Math (rank_math_description,rank_math_title), Yoast SEO (_yoast_wpseo_metadesc,_yoast_wpseo_title), All in One SEO, and SEOPress, with frontend<meta name="description">fallback tag for single package pages. - Package Editor Enhancements: Added dedicated SEO Meta Description inputs in both primary and English Translations tabs, with one-click auto-translation integration.
