Changelog

This changelog documents all notable changes to Promptless WP, including new features, improvements, bug fixes, and breaking changes. We follow Semantic Versioning for version numbering.

Version 1.3.0 - 2026-05-04​

✨ New Features​

Per-Section Color Palettes

Override the global color palette on individual sections without touching site-wide settings. Each section can carry its own 12-color snapshot — primary, secondary, text, surface, border, plus dark-mode counterparts — so you can give a hero section a brand palette and a CTA banner an accent palette on the same page.

  • Pick from a curated shortlist. A new "Section Palette" control appears in every section's Layout tab, alongside Theme Variant. The picker has three tabs: Recent, Favorites, and Browse all.
  • Smart accessibility colors recompute per section. Links, buttons, ghost buttons, and icons all derive WCAG-compliant contrast against the section's effective background. The same algorithm that powers the global palette runs per-section automatically.
  • Snapshot-with-link model. Sections remember the source preset they came from. If you edit the source, you'll see an "Out of date" indicator on the section — click "Refresh from source" to resync. If you delete the source, sections keep rendering with their snapshot (no broken pages).
  • Custom presets default to favorited. When you save a new preset, it's automatically added to your favorites — the curated shortlist surfaced in the per-section picker.
  • Built-in presets can be favorited. Each preset card in the Global Settings color preset modal now has a star icon. Click to promote any of the ~100 built-in presets into your favorites shortlist.
  • Editor preview matches published frontend, byte-for-byte. The same color resolution runs on both sides so what you see in the editor is exactly what visitors get.

See Colors & Branding for the full guide.

AI-aware palette workflow

  • Connector preflight exposes your favorites. When Claude (via the Promptless connector) generates a page, it sees your favorited customs and built-in slugs in the preflight payload, so it can pick palettes from your curated shortlist intentionally.
  • Deploy accepts per-section palettes. Generated pages can carry a different palette per section by ID (custom-{uuid} or builtin-{slug}) plus a snapshot. The connector validates and resolves the snapshot server-side for custom presets.
  • AI page generation can use multiple palettes per page. Ask Claude for "two palettes that mesh well — brand for hero/CTA, accent for content sections" and it can create both, save them, and apply them per section in one workflow.

🔧 Improvements​

  • Standardized close (X) icon across editor sidebars for visual consistency.
  • Smart color system extended to FormEngine integration borders when the form-builder addon is active.

Version 1.2.9 - 2026-05-01​

🔧 Improvements​

Leaner SEO Audit Surface

The editor's SEO panel now lists 5 checks instead of 8. Several audits that produced false positives or duplicated functionality from active SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO) were removed.

  • Heading structure check removed. Promptless's renderer guarantees correct H1/H2 hierarchy automatically; the check incorrectly flagged multi-Hero pages.
  • Orphan page and link depth checks removed. They couldn't see hand-authored WordPress content, producing false "orphan" warnings for well-linked pages.
  • Meta tags and noindex checks defer to your SEO plugin. When Yoast, Rank Math, or AIOSEO is active, those plugins own meta authoritatively — Promptless gets out of the way. Without an SEO plugin, the checks still run in full.

The sitewide "Discourage search engines" detector still runs unconditionally — it's the single most consequential SEO foot-gun in WordPress and being told twice beats missing it.

✨ New Features​

  • wordpress_seo_audit MCP tool. Claude can now run the SEO audit on a Promptless page conversationally and get the same finding shape the editor's Audit tab shows.
  • wordpress_get_business_identity and wordpress_set_business_identity MCP tools. Claude can read and update the sitewide Business Identity record (name, contact, address, hours, social) without you clicking through the admin form. Targets the agency client-onboarding workflow.

Version 1.2.8 - 2026-04-30​

✨ New Features​

SEO Panel in Editor

A new right-side panel with three tabs: Audit (on-page checks), Schema (preview and control structured data output), and Page Type (override page intent with editor controls).

Schema Architecture

A new Provider/Registry pattern with 9 schema providers: FAQ, HowTo, Service, Pricing, Image Gallery, Web Page, Organization, Local Business, Review. Three operating modes:

  • Coexists with Yoast, Rank Math, AIOSEO when one of those is active
  • Augments them when partial schema is detected
  • Runs standalone when no other SEO plugin is active

Business Identity Admin Page

A new submenu under Promptless WP for Organization and Local Business schema data — name, logo, contact, social profiles, address, hours, service areas. Dynamic Social Links UI with add/remove (no fixed three-row cap).

Connector page_intent Support

The MCP connector accepts page_intent in deploy payloads so external orchestration can hint at page type (about, contact, service, etc.).

🔧 Fixed​

  • Schema name fields now strip Promptless's {curly-brace} highlight markup from output.
  • i18n compliance: translators comments and placeholder ordering for WordPress Plugin Check.

Version 1.2.7 - 2026-04-26​

✨ New Features​

Server-Side Design Optimizer for Connector Deploys

The editor's "Apply Design Strategy" pipeline now runs on every connector deploy. When Claude (or any external consumer) sends a page with blank theme_variant, layout_variant, grid_columns, or display_style, the optimizer fills them in automatically — applying section-type preferences, content-length thresholds, media-presence rules, CTA optimization, and cross-section flow balance.

  • design_options controls on wordpress_deploy_content, wordpress_batch_deploy, and wordpress_append_sections: choose theme_strategy (balanced/light/dark/smart-auto) and toggle apply_design_strategy (default true; disable for screenshot-recreation flows).
  • aisb_after_design_optimization filter for third-party adjustments before save.
  • Whole-page context on append. When sections are appended, the optimizer accounts for the existing page's flow.
  • Deploy responses include optimization_applied and optimization_strategy so consumers can confirm what ran.

Version 1.2.6 - 2026-04-25​

🔧 Improvements​

Smarter Connector Menu Building

The connector's menu creation from page hierarchies now preserves parent/child relationships intelligently. Theme location validation gives actionable error messages instead of silent failures.

✨ Added​

  • Connector Knowledge Map documentation — an 811-line operating manual for connector consumers covering all 13 section types, field schemas, design decision rules, and safe editing patterns.

Version 1.2.5 - 2026-04-23​

🐛 Bug Fixes​

  • Smart Color System now uses correct logic for highlighted text.
  • Hero Dark Mode background rendering fixed.
  • CTA Banner color contrast fixed for both pill-shaped eyebrow headings and body text links.
