Yikes! What did you do to my favorite plugin?

  • Updated recently and had to immediately revert to an older version as my content editors were breaking all over the admin area. Came back a couple weeks later and tried again, a bugfix had solved that problem I suppose, but I am extremely turned off by the changes in this 3x version. The SEO Title and Meta description fields being removed was a horrible choice… I get it, you can click right on the snippet preview to edit but that is not a functional improvement, it actually makes it more difficult to compose your title and description text than before. Such an unnecessary change where there was nothing wrong before. The overall appearance of the metabox is more intrusive and disturbs the aesthetic that I have always been a fan of in WordPress. SEO is meant to be an important aspect of my site but not a visually prominent one. I wonder about your QA process and design choices. For the first time after years of swearing by this plugin I am questioning using it on my sites at all.
