  1. Grandranker 1.7.3Latest

    • Fix: a post sent again without schema (“Let my SEO plugin handle structured data” on) no longer keeps printing the old schema.

  2. Grandranker 1.7.1

    • Fix: the page right after connecting no longer asks for a connection key.

  3. Grandranker 1.7.0

    • Connects by itself after activation — no key needed.

  4. Grandranker 1.6.1

    • Safer duplicate cleanup: a copy is removed only when Grandranker created it and nothing on the site uses it. Its id and its file name, in every size, must appear in no post content, post meta (page builders, galleries, SEO plugin images) or site option
    • Body-image copying preview: Grandranker support can list which images an existing post would have copied before anything is changed
    • Faster duplicate cleanup on large sites: the check runs a page of posts at a time and compares file sizes before reading files
    • Articles with many images: one update copies up to 8 new images and the rest on the next update, so large articles no longer time out. Images in srcset (responsive sizes) are copied too

  5. Grandranker 1.5.10

    • When no SEO plugin is active, articles print their meta description and Open Graph tags. Before, the meta description from Grandranker never reached the page

  6. Grandranker 1.5.9

    • Updating an article from Grandranker keeps the post’s original publish date. Before, every update gave the post today’s date and moved it to the top of the blog

  7. Grandranker 1.5.7

    • Unpublishing from Grandranker now only removes a post this plugin published for that article. If the stored post id points at anything else, such as a page or a media file after a site move, the plugin leaves it untouched and reports why
    • Serve an IndexNow key file so newly published articles are crawled by Bing, Yandex, Naver, Seznam and Yep within minutes instead of waiting for a scheduled crawl
    • Remove the IndexNow key when disconnecting the site
    • Use the SEO title from Grandranker as the page title when no SEO plugin is active

  8. Grandranker 1.5.5

    • Fix article updates not applying: update deliveries were acknowledged but never written to the existing post, so edited content and corrected JSON-LD schema did not reach already-published articles. Updates now rewrite the matching post in place.

  9. Grandranker 1.5.4

    • Add a direct Settings link to the plugin row for faster configuration
    • Improve connection guidance and keep the saved connection key visible in a masked field
    • Highlight the connected state with a clear status badge
    • Improve WordPress 7.0 compatibility and harden JSON-LD and media handling

  10. Grandranker 1.5.3

    • Fix corrupted JSON-LD schema: WordPress stripped backslashes on save, breaking escaped quotes and unicode characters (e.g. German umlauts) and producing invalid JSON in the page head
    • Skip outputting stored schema that no longer parses as valid JSON, so pages published with older versions stop failing schema validation after updating

  11. Grandranker 1.5.2

    • Set the SEO plugin meta title on publish (Yoast / Rank Math / AIOSEO) so the SEO title is populated instead of empty

  12. Grandranker 1.1.0

  13. Grandranker 1.0.2

  14. Grandranker 1.0.1

  15. Grandranker 1.0.0

    • Initial release
    • Secure HMAC-signed article publishing endpoint
    • Automatic featured image attachment
    • Yoast SEO meta description support
    • Admin settings page for connection management
    • Ping endpoint for connectivity verification
