SEO Content Publisher for 8ight.ai

1.1.0

• Traffic insights: the plugin now reports each article pageview and its referrer to the 8ight.ai platform, so you can see real organic-click counts for your published content directly in your 8ight.ai dashboard — no Google Search Console connection required. Only the page URL and referrer are sent; no cookies and no personal data are collected.

1.0.9

• Per-post extra JSON-LD schemas via the schemas field on the /publish endpoint. Sites with Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress or AIOSEO already emit Article + Organization + WebPage — but none of them auto-generate the Service, FAQPage-per-post, HowTo, Product or Review schemas that AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) look for when picking a citation. This release lets 8ight.ai push those extra schemas per article; the plugin stores them in post_meta and emits them from a wp_head hook at render-time, ADDING to (not replacing) whatever the site’s SEO plugin already provides.

1.0.8

• Native schema injection for sites WITHOUT an SEO plugin (e.g. Yoast/Rank Math/SEOPress/AIOSEO). The plugin now emits a clean Article + BreadcrumbList + WebPage + Organization/LocalBusiness + WebSite @graph in so ChatGPT / Claude / Perplexity / Gemini / Google AI Mode can extract rich citations from these sites.
• Auto-detects competing SEO plugins and skips injection when present — no duplicate or conflicting schema.
• New /wp-json/8ight-ai/v1/business-info endpoint lets the 8ight.ai dashboard push phone / address / service-area / logo to the plugin, which then promotes Organization → LocalBusiness automatically.

1.0.7

• Rank Math compat: fix the BreadcrumbList position field being emitted as a JSON string (“1”) instead of an integer (1) — Google Rich Results flagged this as invalid. Hooks into rank_math/json_ld and coerces the field to int. No-op when Rank Math isn’t active.

1.0.6

• AI discoverability: robots.txt now appends explicit Allow: / directives for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, CCBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, Bytespider, Meta-ExternalAgent, Amazonbot, cohere-ai, YouBot, Diffbot and others — so AI search engines know they may crawl + cite the site.
• New /llms.txt endpoint at the site root: a markdown index of every published post (with one-line summary) in the format adopted by ChatGPT / Claude / Perplexity crawlers. Built dynamically from wp_posts at request time — no maintenance, always current.
• Both files are linked from each other (robots.txt advertises llms.txt as a Sitemap reference).

1.0.5

• New head_css param on /publish — raw CSS stored in post meta and emitted in via wp_head. Lets the publisher patch theme-specific layout issues per-post without editing the theme or relying on Customizer Additional CSS.

1.0.4

• Preserve original post_modified on UPDATE so themes no longer show “Last updated: today” after every content backfill.
• New set_modified_at param on /publish to force a specific modified date.
• New /set-modified-date endpoint for date-only retroactive fixes.
• Accept post_type param (‘post’ default, ‘page’ for evergreen landing pages).
• Refreshed admin settings header: round 8ight.ai logo at the top, removed legacy banner image.

1.0.2

• Escaped all output per WordPress coding standards
• Replaced date() with gmdate()
• Replaced parse_url() with wp_parse_url()
• Replaced unlink() with wp_delete_file()
• Added sanitize_callback to all register_setting calls
• Enqueued CSS and JS properly
• Fixed stable tag mismatch
