1.4.5

• Auto-update self-enable now covers silent updates: v1.4.4 added the plugin to WordPress's auto-update list only on activation and on KAF Panel reconnection. WordPress does not fire the activation hook on background plugin updates ("Update Now" or auto-update), so sites that updated silently never had auto-updates turned on. The self-enable call now also runs on every init (idempotent — does nothing if already enabled), guaranteeing the next admin page load after any update enables auto-updates if it was missing.

1.4.4

• Auto-update enabled by default: KAF Connector now adds itself to the WordPress core auto-update list on activation and on successful KAF Panel connection. Future releases install silently in the background; users can still disable auto-updates from the WP-admin Plugins page at any time. Existing installations gain this behavior the moment they (re)connect to KAF Panel.

1.4.3

• New apply-batch category — post_status_update: Flip an existing post's status (e.g. draft → publish) without touching its content. Body shape: {post_status_update:[{id, status:'publish'|'draft'|'private'}]}. Idempotent (no-op when the post is already in the target status) and returns a fresh permalink in updated:[{id,url,edit_url,status}]. Powers the KAF panel's one-click "Publish on WordPress" action for Auto SEO Blog drafts.

1.4.2

• Bug fix — Sites with REST API disabled could not connect: When a security plugin or functions.php code disabled the WordPress REST API entirely, KAF requests to /wp-json/kaf/ were also blocked. The plugin now hooks rest_authentication_errors at PHP_INT_MAX priority to exempt its own namespace; the REST API remains closed site-wide while only KAF endpoints stay accessible.

1.4.1

• Bug fix — False "Page Fixes ACTIVE" signal: The admin status panel and health endpoint's features.apply_batch flag were reading class_exists('KAF_SEO_Repair_Apply') — because the class always loads at boot, it returned true even when SEO Repair was disabled. Fixed to use kaf_repair_state.enabled synced from the KAF panel.
• Submenus hidden when disconnected: Mutation History, Active Rules, KAF AI Content, and Policy History submenus now return early when kaf_connection_code is empty and reappear after a successful connection.

1.4.0

• KAF Website Management Module: New kaf/v1/manage/* endpoint group — list and manage WordPress users, passwordless WP Admin login (HMAC SSO).
• One-Click SSO: Passwordless access to the WordPress admin panel via a single-use signed token (HMAC-SHA256 + 60s TTL + nonce replay protection).
• WordPress User Management: List, create, update, reset password, and delete users with content reassignment support.
• Plugin & Theme Management: List, activate/deactivate, remote install, one-click update, auto-update toggle, version lock, and abandoned-plugin scan.
• WordPress Core + Code Snippets: Version info, one-click core update, translation packages, DB upgrade. Code snippets CRUD with syntax validation, scope control, and safe eval with fatal protection.
• Content + Backup: Post/page listing with filters, status changes, bulk delete. UpdraftPlus integration for backup history and manual triggers.
• KAF AI Content admin page: New WP admin sub-menu listing all KAF-generated posts (_kaf_auto_created=1) with status, date, author, and batch source filters.
• Batch Tracking: New _kaf_batch_id post_meta marker; visible under "Batch / Source" in the KAF AI Content page.

1.3.2

• Real WP Rollback (T15): New POST /seo-repair/restore-batch endpoint — "Undo" from the KAF panel now writes post_meta and post_content changes back in WordPress within a 7-day window. Covers 9 categories + post_slug + content_body; Yoast / Rank Math / All in One SEO mirror fields reverted synchronously.

1.3.0

• Modern Admin Dashboard: Redesigned settings, history, and policy pages with KAF brand styling and dark mode support; hero panel surfaces total time saved, top categories, top pages, and a 7-day activity sparkline.
• Mutation History: New sub-menu with URL- or category-grouped views, search/filter, before/after diff timeline, and one-click "Edit in WordPress" links.
• Rollback: Per-mutation revert button restores the previous value including Yoast / Rank Math / All in One SEO mirror fields.
• Applied Policies Page: Live configuration of every active server-side policy for full transparency.
• AI Content & Page Creation: content_body and page_create apply-batch actions for full post body rewrites and AI-generated pages.
• URL Normalization: url_redirects apply-batch category — lowercase, strip trailing ?, session IDs, parameter whitelist, dedupe, underscore-to-hyphen.
• EEAT, Video & Slug Schemas: business_info, VideoObject, and post_slug apply-batch categories.
• Security Headers & Custom CSS: security_headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and custom_css apply-batch categories.

• Internationalization: Text Domain kaf-wp-connector and Domain Path: /languages.
• Compatibility Fix: Heading override DOM parser uses instanceof DOMElement guard for PHP 8.1+.

1.2.0

• KAF SEO Repair Engine: Batch mutation endpoint for titles, descriptions, OG tags, canonicals, robots directives, headings, image alts, and JSON-LD schema.
• Crawler Bypass Handshake: Plugin recognizes the KAF audit crawler via a shared project token and skips mutation output so audit scores reflect raw root causes.
• Parse-Time HTML Filters: Server-side defer injection, non-critical CSS preload swap, and mixed-content HTTPS rewrite.
• Indexation Control: Pattern-based wp_robots filter for noindex directives.
• Link Rel Policy: Auto-nofollow for external links with domain whitelist; strips nofollow from internal links.
