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-end and 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 into post_excerpt during 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_excerpt column constraints, includes automated fallback retries for database exceptions, safely bounds excerpt length in wp_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_data for 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 slug field 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 MySQL varchar(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, and ping_status during import, with automatic fallback retry as draft if 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 multilingual meta_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.
  • Updated AI Package Instructions: Updated bundled prompt and downloadable guide to mandate max 60-character titles and SEO meta descriptions matching the package language.
