We are delighted to announce that the Parse.ly plugin version 3.14 will become available in VIP staging and production environments on Tuesday, March 12, 2024. Before using it in production, we recommend testing the new release in staging.
This release will become the default in production on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, and all non-pinned environments will be auto-upgraded to this version. These changes do not affect customers who don’t use wp-parsely, or use an integration method outside of mu-plugins.
What’s new
- The new smart linking feature can automatically embed related links within a block or an entire post. It uses Parse.ly AI to identify the most relevant and high-performing content on your site, and automatically embeds them as links in the post. Not only does this save you time otherwise spent finding related content, but embedded links improve recirculation and increase traffic and engagement across your site. This feature is entirely opt-in, as are all our other AI features.
- The new option to use full metadata for non-posts helps Parse.ly customers see metadata for non-posts in their Parse.ly dashboard. For questions or support on this new capability, please contact support@parsely.com.
- New and improved look for the Content Helper! In the last few months we’ve introduced several pre-publishing tools that are powered by AI, and with this release we are making it easier for you to publish faster in one view, and see how your work is performing in another view. Our goal is to simplify and streamline your experience in the WordPress block editor so you can work more efficiently, and we hope this updated user interface will help with that!
- To complement all this work, we made internal changes to enable our use of the latest version of the Parse.ly AI API, which should improve the quality of suggestions and also allow for additional features in the future.
