New Release and Default Version: wp-parsely 3.6

wp-parsely 3.6 is now available in production and staging environments. Before using it in production, we recommend all customers to test the new release in staging.

wp-parsely 3.6 will become the default version in production on Tuesday January 17 2023, and all non-pinned environments will be auto-upgraded to wp-parsely 3.6. Please note that the auto-upgrade to wp-parsely 3.6 has already taken place in staging environments.

Those changes do not affect customers who don’t use wp-parsely, or use an integration method outside of mu-plugins.

What’s New

The highlight of this release is the redesigned Content Helper, which now features 2 panels. The original data shown by the Content Helper was converted into a redesigned Related Top-Performing Posts panel.

Content Helper: Related Top-Performing Posts

We’ve also added the new Performance Details panel, which shows performance metrics about the post or page currently being edited, such as:

  • Number of views and visitors.
  • Average time spent on the page by visitors.
  • Referrer data, including direct visits.

To complement the release, we’ve also improved the plugin’s settings page, our inbuilt support for the Co-Authors Plus plugin, and fixed some bugs.
