Oxwall 1.8.4 released

Oxwall 1.8.4 is available for download immediately.

All details about the release can be found in our beta highlight (complete changelog can be found here).

Important for users: If you are running Oxwall of any previous version, you are encouraged to wait until the auto-update prompt appears in your admin area. Before you attempt it, make sure to:

  • Back up your website. Seriously, folks, better safe than sorry;
  • Run the platform update first, only after that run all available plugin updates;
  • Run theme update also only after the platform update.

Thanks,
Oxwall team.

Oxwall 1.8.4 beta

Greetings!

Oxwall 1.8.4 beta is out! This is a release with important backend improvements for SEO and update reliability. In particular:

SEO

  • A convenient way to set meta info for individual pages;
  • Open Graph tags support;
  • Canonical URL’s support;
  • Support for variables in meta info.

Sitemap

  • Automatic sitemap generation;
  • Individual plugin sitemap inclusion;
  • Configurable update period;
  • If the limits are exceeded, the platform divides the sitemap into several files.

Updates

  • When you try to update plugins, the platform will check if there’s a platform update and will encourage you to to do that first (this is a common reason for update failures);
  • When you try to update the platform, it will first check if you have necessary PHP version.
