20267 releases

  1. Five Star Business Profile and Schema 2.5.0Latest

    • IMPORTANT NOTE: This is release 2 of a 4-part series. Full documentation for a number of the new features is not yet available, and will be added once the 4th update in the series is completed. Please delay updating until the final update round if documentation is required.
    • Added (premium) bulk holiday hours editing for selected locations, with previews, resumable batches and per-location recovery available for seven days. (This is accessible from the new Bulk Holiday Hours menu item found under Business Profile in the WP sidebar menu.)
    • Restricted site-wide Schemas and Locations administration to users with the manage_options capability. Authorized schema-value editing on individual posts and pages remains available. This fixes the issue with the Business Profile menu item showing in the WP sidebar for non-authorized users.
    • Restored overnight opening hours as a single range on the opening day, while preserving the underlying schedule and structured data.
    • Restored the WordPress site title as the public business name when the main business name is left blank.

  2. Five Star Business Profile and Schema 2.4.0

    • IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a major update with several big changes. We suggest testing this update in a staging or development environment before updating your live environment. Or wait a few days before updating in the event that an issue is identified that requires a fix/new update.

    • Improved the handling of opening hours and exceptions, including midnight, overnight hours, date ranges and closures, across contact cards and structured data.
