WordPress Cluster 9.6.17

Plugins updated:

  • Dark Matter 2.1.6 CORE-2615
    • Change: editors will now see mapped URLs when inserting links to posts. Also, editor will now load with mapped URLs and this will be unmapped on save.
      • This fixes a really annoying issue for editors, who would could see unmapped links in Classic and Block Editors.
      • Usually occurs around linking to another piece of content like a Page, Post or Term.
      • Resolves a problem with SEO plugins such as Rank Math or Yoast SEO which would get confused between the admin and primary domains for counting internal links.
    • Properly resolves an issue of unmapping the primary domain in content on Save Post, which would disengage on POST requests (Classic Editor basically).
      • This issue was introduced in 2.1.4 – sorry!
    • Fixed a problem where WordPress’ validation of a "safe" URL didn’t always work. This mostly affects the WP HTTP API and wp_safe_redirect().
    • "Internal" REST API requests – conducted through rest_do_request() – are now treated identically to "external" REST API requests in Dark Matter.
    • Switched out webpack-fix-style-only-entries for webpack-remove-empty-scripts for Webpack 5 compatibility in the build process.
    • Upped WordPress Core support to 5.7.2.
    • Also includes 2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.1.5
  • Syndicate Subscriber 1.3.9
    • Removes Open_GraphImage_Presenter so there are no placeholders/duplicates (Currently on Production there are duplicate sets of meta tags)
    • Changed action to no longer be triggered by the deprecated wpseo_opengraph hook and instead on wp_head
    • Fixed url meta to have the mapped domain
    • Fixed escaping on width/height metas
  • Ad Chunks 2.0.7
    • Ads a separate log file ad-chunks-domparser-errors.log and prevents warnings generated by libXML getting into the normal error logs. Additionally surpresses common warnings we can safely ignore. CORE-2627
