What's been happening.

All updates for the KakapoWP family in one place.

v1.3.3

SEO

03.10.2026
  • ＋Pages that a theme serves without a WordPress page of their own carried the site name as their title — twice in a row. With no recognizable query object, the plugin no longer builds a title and leaves it to the theme
  • ＋In that case OpenGraph and Twitter take the title that actually stands in the browser tab
v1.2.2

Analytics

03.10.2026
  • ＋Role access and the entire handbook sat in the “Settings” tab instead of under “Team” and “Guide” — now they really do move there
  • ＋“Settings” has shrunk from 36 cards to 12 as a result and shows nothing but settings
  • ＋Under “Team”, role access was offered twice: once coarsely on/off, once finely per area. The fine one stayed, since it grants the same right
v1.3.2

Performance

03.10.2026
  • ＋Notes sat as separate boxes without a heading below the setting they belong to — now they sit inside it
  • ＋The status lines on the overview have been given a heading; previously they looked like an addendum to “Clear cache”
v1.2.2

Roles

03.10.2026
  • ＋The user levels table had no heading — a box over 900 pixels tall whose content only the column headers revealed
  • ＋Two notes under “Media library” and “Redirects” now sit in the card they belong to
v1.3.2

SEO

03.10.2026
  • ＋The home page title preview now sits in the same card as the fields whose result it shows
v1.3.2

Consent

03.10.2026
  • ＋Under “System”, two cards had the same button “Create report” — now each says what it creates: evidence report or diagnostic report
v1.2.2

Links

03.10.2026
  • ＋“Activate” on the licence page did nothing: the action was not registered in the plugin and the server answered with error 400
  • ＋The icon in the WordPress menu was taken for an address — the browser tried to load an image from a machine called “link”
v1.2.1

Links

03.10.2026
  • ＋“Help & support” was missing from this plugin alone — the section is now where it is everywhere else
v1.2.4

Backup

03.10.2026
  • ＋The archive is now appended to instead of being rewritten in full with every batch: a backup writes its data exactly once, not dozens of times
  • ＋Large backups therefore run through on network drives — the aborts with “Premature end of file” and “Stale file handle” had precisely this cause there
  • ＋If a pass breaks off in the middle of a file, the next one trims back to the last confirmed length and carries on from there
  • ＋Images, videos, audio, fonts and finished archives are no longer put through the compressor — that cost computing time and achieved nothing for a media library
  • ＋Encrypted archives can be restored and imported again: several places knew only the old container format and rejected the plugin’s own archives
  • ＋The ZIP write test in the self-diagnosis takes the same path as a run and writes a real, uncompressed megabyte — previously about 1,000 bytes of it were left
  • ＋“Update scope” now only appends as well: if you include the WordPress core, you no longer wait for the whole archive to be written a second time
  • ＋If something is dropped in the process (exclusions, deselected tables), the archive is repacked exactly once — the entries that stay move over compressed, without being unpacked and packed again
  • ＋The emergency sheet describes the encryption container the way it is written today
  • ＋“Back up now” appeared twice on the overview — the button in the backup list header now only appears where the “Back up now” card does not
v1.2.3

Backup

20.09.2026
  • ＋The restore now runs in passes with a progress display — it survives the server’s time limit and keeps working even if you close the page
  • ＋The database is built up alongside and swapped in at the end in one go: an aborted run no longer leaves a half-imported database behind
  • ＋If a pass breaks off, the next one starts from the last saved position — the website stays closed meanwhile, but open for you
  • ＋A running restore can be cancelled; before the swap-in everything stays unchanged
  • ＋A restore no longer starts while a backup is running — both at once would have torn the database apart
v1.2.2

Backup

20.09.2026
  • ＋When writing to the archive fails, the log now names the reason from ZipArchive, plus a real write test and the free space — instead of just “check permissions”
  • ＋An archive begun earlier that is no longer readable no longer aborts the run: the file phase starts over
  • ＋The self-test now really writes a 1 MB ZIP into the backup folder — a full host quota shows up before the next run
  • ＋FTP: the message names the target path and the server’s answer
v1.2.1

Backup

18.09.2026
  • ＋Import: large archives are uploaded in parts — the server’s upload limit no longer matters, and problems show a message instead of a blank page
  • ＋White label: the menu and plugin list show your brand followed by the product, e.g. “GranataWP SEO” — no longer the same name eight times
  • ＋White label: switched on in your kakapowp.com account, it now also applies to the plugin list
  • ＋White label: settings from your account arrive within fifteen minutes instead of with the daily licence check
  • ＋The WordPress menu column only scrolls when the pointer is over it — it no longer moves while you scroll inside the plugin
  • ＋“Visit Site” and the other admin bar menus are no longer hidden behind the menu column
  • ＋The plugin description appears in English when WordPress runs in English
  • ＋Direct links to an area open it reliably; areas locked for your role are also missing from the admin bar
  • ＋The nine plugins sit together in alphabetical order in the WordPress menu
  • ＋Without white label, the admin bar entry is now called “KakapoWP”
v1.1.1

Media

18.09.2026
  • ＋Overview: the area rows are laid out correctly again, including on phones
  • ＋Folder bar: collapsed, it no longer covers anything, the media library is no wider than the window, and on phones it slides over the list
  • ＋Folders: you can only sort in files you are allowed to edit, and only delete a folder if you may edit all files in it
  • ＋The media library trash can be reached via its own card
  • ＋White label: the menu and plugin list show your brand followed by the product, e.g. “GranataWP SEO” — no longer the same name eight times

v1.1.0

Media

14.09.2026
  • ＋Folders for the media library: a folder tree next to grid and list, drag and drop, up to five levels — virtual, no file is moved
  • ＋New uploads land in the open folder; in the editor's media window the folder is available as a filter
  • ＋Clean up: images with no detectable reference, duplicates, files without an entry and oversized originals — nothing is deleted on its own; oversized images point to Kakapo Performance

  • ＋Replace files at the same address; rename them including every size and the references in posts and meta fields
  • ＋Image files are only changed by replacing, renaming and deleting files without an entry, each after a confirmation; trash, alternative texts and folders only write to the database
