Add **NewsArticle** and **LiveBlogPosting** schema markup, **Search Console** traffic analytics, editorial assignments, and newsroom tools — directly inside WordPress. Works in **Gutenberg** and **Classic Editor**. #### Who is this plugin for? Perfect for: * News websites and online newspapers * Magazines and digital publishers * Editorial teams and multi-author WordPress sites * Sites targeting **Google Discover** and **Google News** traffic * Publishers who outgrew generic SEO plugins but still use Yoast or Rank Math #### NewsArticle & LiveBlogPosting schema markup Structured data built for publishers — not generic blog schema: * **NewsArticle** JSON-LD — `@graph` with Organization, WebPage, author `Person`, geo, `about` / `mentions` from entity tags * **LiveBlogPosting** — breaking news mode with live H3 updates and auto-expire * **CollectionPage** from story timelines; optional editor FAQ block (opt-in, off by default) * **Wikidata entity enrichment** on tags (lazy, on assign) * Richness presets (Minimal / Balanced / Full) — complements Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress #### Google Discover & Google News optimization * **Discover Score** — pre-publish checklist: hero 1200px+, 16:9, headline quality, topic/tags, OG image, timeliness * **Trend Radar** — Google Trends + **Google News** RSS in the editor sidebar ( localized by country) * **Breaking news mode** — faster IndexNow/Google ping, LiveBlog schema, optional“ developing story” badge * **Search Console clicks** — real **Discover** and **Google News** traffic via GSC sync (separate from the editorial Discover Score) #### Newsroom OS vs Yoast SEO & Rank Math **Yoast SEO / Rank Math** excel at meta titles, descriptions, XML sitemaps, and general on-page SEO. **Newsroom OS** adds the **newsroom layer** they do not cover: * Google **Discover readiness** scoring in the editor * **Google News** + Discover **Search Console** analytics per writer * **NewsArticle / LiveBlogPosting** publisher schema graph * Editorial **workflow** — tasks, My Inbox, chief dashboard, **Chief Insights** * **Author performance** coaching tied to real traffic * Smart tags, duplicate-tag guard, archive internal links, GSC traffic-drop alerts Use both together — Newsroom OS reads your SEO plugin meta and adds publisher-specific signals. #### Update 2.9 — All Pro features included + install registry **Newsroom OS 2.9** unlocks **every Pro feature without a license key** (GSC sync, Chief Insights, Author Performance, AI Assist BYOK, IndexNow, Auto-Timeline, task messaging, and more). A lightweight anonymous install/upgrade ping helps NewsOS count active sites. To restore paid license gating later, set `NEWSAI_PRO_UNLOCKED` to `false` in wp-config.php — all license code stays in place. #### Update 2.8 — Schema performance for megasites + nightly warm **Newsroom OS 2.8** keeps JSON-LD on high-traffic sites without daytime CPU spikes:** Lite Mode** no longer runs the schema backfill cron, **Background schema warm** is optional, and **Nightly schema warm** runs migration only in an off-peak window( default 02:00–06:00, site timezone). New/edited posts still get **full schema on save**. On cache miss under Megasite mode, visitors get a **slim NewsArticle** graph while full caches backfill overnight. Also: Unicode-safe word counts (Greek), story- cluster accessibility contrast, and safer warm scheduling (hourly / 15-min only with backlog). #### Update 2.7 — Classic command center (stable) + parked React UI **Newsroom OS 2.7** ships a **premium classic admin** redesign: vertical sidebar shell, bento Dashboard (Kanban-first), refreshed **Chief Insights** and **Author Performance**, and a cleaner **Settings** workspace. **Classic is the default** on all sites. An experimental **React admin** remains in the codebase for a future opt-in release — it is **off by default**; the Settings banner shows **Coming Soon** until the redesign is ready. **Desk workflow:** AI **Content brief** from Trend Radar now lives on the **Dashboard**( chief plans assigns task writer sees brief in the editor). The editor Radar tab stays lightweight (live trends/news + copy headline). #### Update 2.3 — Desk workflow + Chief command upgrades (Pro) **Newsroom OS 2.3** adds **brief editorial task**, **AI desk overview** (Author Performance), **Kanban drag-and-drop**, **War room** live KPIs (AJAX), **CrUX / Core Web Vitals** (PageSpeed Insights), **GSC device channel toggle**, and **category- aware AI prompts**. No database migration. Configure CrUX under **Settings Instant Indexing** (PageSpeed API key). #### Update 2.2 — AI Assist SEO pipeline (Pro BYOK) **Newsroom OS 2.2** upgrades **AI Assist (Pro)** for newsroom SEO: shared **article analysis** (keywords, entities, intent), stronger **headline**, **optimize**, and** trend** suggestions, **meta description** generation with one-click apply to Yoast SEO / Rank Math (or excerpt), smarter **tag match**, and **Discover Score** entity signals when analysis is saved on the post. **Editor blocks** (story timeline, key takeaways, FAQ) use semantic HTML, dedicated CSS (`story-cluster.css`, `newsai-content- blocks.css`), and **no empty DOM nodes** in published markup. #### Big update 2.1 — Chief Insights, AI Daily Brief, and indexing diagnostics **Newsroom OS 2.1** adds **Chief Insights** (desk-wide KPIs, channel tables, top categories/articles), **AI Daily Brief** (Morning/Evening), and **Print to PDF**. Clear **Last attempted vs Last successful** diagnostics for **Google Indexing API** and **IndexNow**. Preview the product at [newsos.io](https://newsos.io/). #### Big update 2.0 — Google Search Console meets your newsroom **Newsroom OS 2.0** connects your editorial desk to **real Google traffic**. Writers get **Focus** (article quality) and **Discover readiness** (distribution checklist) in the editor — separate from **Search Console clicks** (Discover, Google News, and web search). Chiefs see who publishes well _and_ who earns traffic, in one dashboard. _(From 2.9 onward, GSC sync and all former “Pro” modules ship unlocked in the same plugin — no license key.)_ #### Classic Editor & Gutenberg (Block Editor) Newsroom OS is built for **real newsroom setups** — including sites that still use Classic Editor, sites on full Gutenberg, and hybrid installs (block editor with the classic Tags metabox). **Gutenberg / Block Editor** * Publication Readiness sidebar (Editorial + Discover twin gauges, Next Best Action) * REST-aware duplicate tag guard (snackbar + “Use existing” / “Keep anyway”) * Breaking news mode, live H3 update insertion via blocks * Trend Radar, Smart Tags, AI Assist (BYOK) in the editor sidebar * JS strings via `wp_set_script_translations` (el, en, de, es) **Classic Editor** * Same Publication Readiness panel and scores (TinyMCE / `#content` hooks — no block editor APIs on classic screens) * Classic Tags metabox duplicate guard (AJAX before the tag chip is added) * Breaking mode, live updates, and smart tag insert via Classic UI * **Stability:** Gutenberg-only APIs (`wp.data.subscribe`, `getEditedPostContent`) run only when `block-editor-page` is present — prevents Classic Editor `blocks. min.js` stack overflows on large sites **Works with any theme** (Astra, GeneratePress, Newspaper, NewsMag, Flavor, etc.) and alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, WooCommerce, and SureCart. **WordPress 7.0:** Tested through **WordPress 7.0** (Classic Editor, Gutenberg, and wp-admin dashboard). Requires **PHP 7.4+** (PHP 8.1+ recommended). #### Six pillars (2.0) **1. Discover optimization** * **Publication Readiness** — twin scores in the editor: **Editorial (Focus)** and **Discover readiness**. They are separate on purpose. * **Discover Score** — Google-aligned checklist: hero 1200px+, 16:9, 300k pixels, alt; clear 55–70 headline (anti-clickbait); topic/tags; optional trend fit; saved OG image when available. * **Breaking news mode** — one toggle: LiveBlogPosting schema, faster IndexNow/ Google ping, optional “developing story” badge, auto-expire, live-update workflow( H3 headings). * **Trend Radar** — Google Trends + Google News in the sidebar, localized per country. **2. Google Search Console traffic** * **Service account sync** — connect Search Console with `webmasters.readonly`; separate token from the Indexing API. * **Discover, Google News, and web search** — per-post clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position stored in your database (`wp_newsai_gsc_performance`). * **Sync now** in settings plus **daily cron** (04:00 site time) when GSC is enabled. * **Author Performance** — real clicks per writer, top articles by traffic, coaching tab, 7d / 30d / 90d windows. * **Posts list** — **GSC (30d)** column for chiefs (`edit_others_posts`). * **My Inbox** — writers see their own GSC totals when sync is enabled. * **Clear labeling** — Discover Score = editorial readiness; GSC numbers = measured Google clicks (not the same metric). **3. Semantic schema & entities** * **NewsArticle / LiveBlogPosting JSON-LD** — `@graph` with Organization, WebPage, author `Person`, geo, `about` / `mentions`. * **Entity tags** — Wikidata Q-IDs, coordinates, entity types woven into schema; lazy enrichment when tags are used (1.9+). * **Richness presets** — Minimal / Balanced / Full; optional `articleBody` modes( omit, full, first N words). * **Works with Yoast SEO & Rank Math** — reads your meta; does not replace them. **4. Editorial workflow** * **Tasks & assignments** — deadlines, keywords, briefs, reference links. * **Dashboard** — active / overdue / completed, KPIs, SEO health. * **Roles** — chiefs see the full desk; writers see **My Inbox** only. * **GSC traffic-drop alerts** — surfaces articles losing Search Console clicks vs the prior period. **5. AI newsroom (BYOK — your API key)** * **OpenAI, Gemini, or Groq** — your API key stays on your site; free tiers supported( Groq / Gemini). * **Discover-optimized titles** (55–70 chars, five angles), targeted optimization hints, trend-aware keywords, **AI Tag Match** from your site taxonomy. * **Geo-aware language** — answers in the language of your configured region (40 + locales). **6. Knowledge layer** * **Smart Tag Suggester** — weighted, confidence-scored tags from _your_ taxonomy; one-click insert; duplicate-tag guard. * **Story timelines** — archive clusters + internal-link blocks + CollectionPage schema. * **Archive link finder** — semantic internal links from your own back catalog ( accent-aware scoring). * **Author E-E-A-T** — profiles, schema `Person`, performance analytics. UI in **Greek, English, German, and Spanish** (per-site language picker). See `languages/ README.txt` for gettext catalogs. ### Everything included (2.9+) — 100% free, no license **Newsroom OS 2.9** ships the **complete newsroom stack** in one plugin.

Newsroom OS pulls **Search Analytics** into WordPress: * **Three channels** — Discover clicks, Google News clicks, and web search clicks( plus impressions, CTR, position where available). * **Per-post storage** — map GSC page URLs to posts and authors; aggregate by 7/ 30 / 90 days. * **Settings Indexing** — paste your service account JSON, set the property (` sc-domain:example.com` or URL-prefix), test connection, **Sync now**. * **Automatic daily sync** — when GSC is enabled with valid credentials. * **Privacy** — data stays in your database; we do not proxy GSC through newsos. io. #### 📈 Author Performance Redesigned chief dashboard (**Editorial Control Author Performance**): * **Your performance** card for chiefs who also write — same expand/collapse UX as the team grid. * **Compact team cards** — posts, Focus readiness, web clicks at a glance; expand for full detail. * **Tabs inside each author** — **Summary** (editorial quality + categories + GSC totals), **Articles** (latest posts + top traffic), **Coaching** (Discover weak spots + action links). * **GSC coach tips** on low click counts (hero image, headlines, timeliness). * **Search & sort** — filter by name; sort by posts, web clicks, Focus, or A–Z. * **7d / 30d / 90d** — live AJAX refresh without reloading the page. * Cached aggregates with smart invalidation on publish, task completion, score change, and GSC sync. #### 🧭 Chief Insights + AI Daily Brief (NEW in 2.1) Built for editor-in-chief oversight in one screen: * **Chief Insights tab** — summary-first KPI strip + channel performance + top categories + top articles + top keyword/entity signals. * **Live desk data** — real GSC-backed metrics when sync is configured. * **AI Daily Brief** — one click executive summary with **Morning mode** (planning) and **Evening mode** (retrospective + next actions). * **Print to PDF** — export the current chief view for standups and editorial meetings. * **Indexing diagnostics polish** — Google + IndexNow now show **Last attempted** and **Last successful** URL/ping, plus health badge (Healthy / Degraded / Unknown). #### 🤖 AI Assist (BYOK – Bring Your Own Key) Bring your own API key for **OpenAI**, **Google Gemini**, or **Groq**. Newsroom OS never proxies AI traffic through our servers — your key stays on your site. **💸 Free AI tier supported**: Groq offers fast hosted open-weight models with API keys from the same dashboard. Recommended default: `openai/gpt-oss-120b`; alternative:` qwen/qwen3.6-27b`. Deprecated Groq model IDs like `llama-3.3-70b-versatile` should be replaced.

Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install via Plugins Add New Upload. 2. Activate “Newsroom OS – Google Discover, Google News, Schema & Editorial Workflow”. 3. Run the 4-step Wizard (it auto-launches on first activation). 4. Open any post in **Gutenberg** or **Classic Editor** — the Newsroom OS sidebar appears on the right. 5. **Settings Indexing** — (optional) add your Search Console service account, set the property, run **Test** and **Sync now** to populate Author Performance and Chief Insights. 6. **Settings AI** — (optional) add your OpenAI, Gemini, or Groq API key for AI Assist( BYOK). 7. (Optional, 2.7+) **Settings & Prompts** — click **Enable modern settings UI** for the guided React settings screen, or toggle **Editorial Editor UX Modern settings UI**. Classic form stays at `?tab=settings&ui=classic`. ## FAQ ### How do I enable the new React admin UI (2.7)? No wp-config edit needed. After upgrade, open **Settings & Prompts** and click ** Enable modern settings UI**, or enable **Modern admin UI** under **Editorial Editor UX** and save. The setup wizard (step 4) can turn it on during first run. You get the full **React admin** — Dashboard (Kanban + radar), Chief Insights, Author Performance, and Settings — with sidebar navigation. Switch back anytime via **Classic** links or `?ui=classic` on any tab. ### Is Newsroom OS a Google Discover plugin for WordPress? Yes — for **publishers and newsrooms**, not generic blogs. The **Discover Score** checklist scores hero image (1200px+, 16:9), headline quality, topic/tags, OG image, and timeliness before publish. **Trend Radar** pulls Google Trends and News for your target country. **Search Console sync** adds real Discover clicks per post and author (separate metric from the editorial score). ### Is this a Google Search Console plugin? **Partially — built for editorial teams.** Connect via service account (`webmasters. readonly`), sync **Discover, Google News, and web search** clicks into WordPress, and show them on **Author Performance**, **Chief Insights**, **My Inbox**, and the Posts list. It does **not** replace the Search Console UI — it surfaces GSC data where writers and chiefs already work. ### Does Newsroom OS add schema markup? Yes. **NewsArticle** and **LiveBlogPosting** JSON-LD with Organization, WebPage, author `Person`, geo, and entity `about` / `mentions` from your tags (Wikidata enrichment). Story timelines output **CollectionPage** schema. Works alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, and SEOPress. ### Is everything really free in 2.9? **Yes.** GSC sync, Chief Insights, Author Performance, IndexNow, Auto-Timeline, task messaging, duplicate-tag guard, and all desk modules are included — no license key. **AI Assist** is also included but uses **your own** OpenAI, Gemini, or Groq API key (BYOK); provider free tiers work. Optional anonymous install ping sends site URL + version to NewsOS (no post content). ### Does it include an AI assistant for writers? **Yes (BYOK):** OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Groq with your own API key — titles, optimize, trend keywords, meta description (apply to Yoast/Rank Math), tag match, and content brief from trends. Without an API key you still get Publication Readiness, Smart Tags, tasks, Discover Score, schema, GSC, and Trend Radar. ### What is the newsroom workflow feature set? **Tasks & assignments** (deadlines, keywords, briefs, reference links), **Dashboard** KPIs and kanban-style desk view, **My Inbox** for writers, **task threads** + email alerts, **Breaking news mode** with live updates, **GSC traffic-drop alerts**, and** weekly desk report email**. Chiefs use **Chief Insights**; writers see only their assignments. ### How does Newsroom OS help with Google Discover? The **Discover Score** checklist runs before publish: featured image size and aspect ratio, headline length and clickbait cues, topic/tags, OG image, author signals, and internal links. **Trend Radar** surfaces rising topics from Google Trends and News. **Search Console sync** adds measured **Discover clicks** so chiefs can coach writers on outcomes, not just checklists. ### What is Google Discover optimization in WordPress? It means aligning articles with Discover distribution signals — strong hero images, clear non-clickbait headlines, timely topics, entity-rich tags, and valid publisher schema — while tracking whether those choices correlate with **real Discover traffic** after publish (GSC sync). ### Can Newsroom OS improve Google Discover visibility? No plugin can guarantee Discover placement. Newsroom OS gives editors a **repeatable pre-publish workflow** (Discover Score + Focus), breaking-news LiveBlog tools, and** Search Console Discover metrics** per post and author so you can iterate on what actually earns clicks. ### Does Newsroom OS support Google News? Yes. **Trend Radar** includes Google News headlines for your region. **GSC sync** stores the **Google News** channel separately from Discover and web search — visible on Author Performance, Chief Insights, My Inbox, and the Posts list. ### What is new in version 2.0? **Google Search Console integration:** sync Discover, Google News, and web search metrics into WordPress; show real clicks on Author Performance, My Inbox, and the Posts list. Plus a redesigned Author Performance UI (tabs, coaching, search/sort, 7d/30d/90d). Requires a one-time database table on upgrade (`wp_newsai_gsc_performance`). ### How do I connect Google Search Console? **Settings Indexing** enable GSC paste a Google Cloud **service account JSON** with Search Console access to your property enter the property exactly as in GSC(` sc-domain:example.com` or `https://www.example.com/`) **Test** **Sync now**. Daily sync runs automatically when enabled. ### Does Newsroom OS replace Google Search Console? No. You still use [Google Search Console](https://search.google.com/search-console) for verification and property management. Newsroom OS **reads** Search Analytics via API and surfaces the numbers in the editorial desk. ### What is the difference between Discover Score and GSC Discover clicks? **Discover Score** is an **editorial readiness checklist** in the post editor — it does not read Search Console. **GSC Discover clicks** are **real measured traffic** from Google after you enable sync. ### Does it work with Classic Editor and Gutenberg? Yes — **both**, out of the box. Publication Readiness, Discover Score, Trend Radar, Smart Tags, Breaking news mode, and live H3 updates work in **Gutenberg** and ** Classic Editor**. Duplicate-tag guard uses REST in Gutenberg and AJAX in Classic. ### Is it compatible with WordPress 7? Yes. **Tested up to WordPress 7.0**. Minimum PHP **7.4**; PHP **8.1+** recommended. ### Will it conflict with Yoast SEO or Rank Math? No. Newsroom OS reads your SEO meta and adds editorial workflow, smart tags, scores, and JSON-LD enrichment. ### Will it slow down my website? No. External requests use strict timeouts; dashboards use transients; GSC sync runs on a schedule — not on every page view. ### How does the Smart Tag system work? In-browser ranking against _your_ taxonomy (title, lead, body weighted). HIGH/MEDIUM/ LOW confidence badges. Duplicate-tag guard and AI Tag Match (BYOK) included. ### Which AI providers are supported? Can I use AI for free? **OpenAI**, **Google Gemini** (free tier at aistudio.google.com), and **Groq** ( free tier at console.groq.com). Your key never leaves your server. No Newsroom OS license required. ### Will the AI answer in my language? Yes — geo-aware prompts for 40+ locales (Greece Greek, Brazil Portuguese, etc.). ### Does the plugin store private data off-site? Article text and API keys stay on your server. GSC rows and AI cache live in your database. An anonymous **install/upgrade ping** (site URL, plugin version, locale) may be sent to newsos.io on activation — no post content. Optional weekly opt-in heartbeat under Settings Site Details. ## Recensioni Non ci sono recensioni per questo plugin. ## Contributi e sviluppo “Newsroom OS – Google Discover, Google News, Schema & Editorial Workflow” è un software open source.

Editor Radar keeps **Copy headline** + toast for writers. * NEW: **Dashboard Trend Radar fix** — dedicated `nros-dashboard-radar.js` loads trends/news on the Alerts tab (no longer depends on editor `script.js`). * NEW: **Editor Radar CSS fix** — shared radar row styles in `nros-theme.css` so AJAX trends/news render correctly in the post sidebar. * NEW: **Separate editor vs desk radar cache** — trends/news HTML cached per context(` v4` / `v7` keys) so editor Copy buttons and desk Brief buttons stay correct. * IMPROVEMENT: **Settings UX** — hide overlapping WordPress `#wpfooter` on classic Newsroom settings; version shown in plugin sidebar footer. * IMPROVEMENT: **Command palette (⌘K)** — content brief action scrolls to Dashboard Trend Radar (desk workflow). * IMPROVEMENT: **React UI parked** — experimental unified React admin remains in` assets/admin-app/` (pre-built) for a future opt-in; **disabled by default** on upgrade (`newsai_settings_ui` `classic`). Settings shows **Coming Soon** instead of enabling React. One-time admin notice after update. * NEW (codebase, opt-in later): **Unified React admin shell** — React Dashboard( Kanban, radar, KPIs), Chief Insights (charts, PDF, AI brief), Author Performance, Settings registry (14 sections), PRO tab, REST `/newsroom-os/v1/*` + AJAX fallbacks, inline task form, GSC/Indexing tools, AI policy page generator. * FIX: **Dashboard radar** regression from 2.5.0 (Trends widget stuck on “Loading…” without editor bundle). * FIX: **Settings save** — React mode toggle blocked until redesign ships; classic remains authoritative. * SAFE: **No database migrations.** New options only (`newsai_settings_ui`, admin UI policy version). Safe upgrade from **2.6.x**. #### 2.6.0 * PERF: **Megasite schema mode** (default on) — serve-stale cached JSON-LD on version mismatch, 15-minute warm cron (40 posts/batch), per-post invalidation; avoids mass cold rebuilds on high-traffic sites. * NEW: **Setup wizard site scan** — posts count, cache/object cache, SEO plugin, PHP; auto-picks Standard / Busy / Megasite performance profile. * NEW: **Floating AI toolbar** — highlight text in the editor for Rewrite / Shorten/ Expand / Simplify (Pro BYOK; Settings UX & AI). * NEW: **GEO summary block** — AI generates `
` with lead + Q&A for AI Overviews. * NEW: **ClaimReview schema** — optional fact-check meta in the AI tab emits ClaimReview JSON-LD on debunk articles. * NEW: **GSC 12-month backfill** — chunked AJAX backfill with progress UI (queries, site metrics, post batches). * NEW: **Per-post geo targeting** — Article market select; category-level override; Trend Radar and Discover respect locale. * FIX: **Auto-Timeline intelligence** — IDF topic tag selection, generic-tag blocklist( e.g. ΑΛΛΑΓΕΣ), accent-insensitive title match (Πατίνια ΠΑΤΙΝΙ), topic-first candidate pool, same-category boost, optional GSC click tiebreaker. * FIX: **Internal archive links** — GSC click boost ranks high-performing evergreen pages; clearer scoring. * FIX: **GSC service account JSON** — dedicated AJAX save (megasite-safe), PEM normalization, Settings tab redirect; GSC Sync JSON response hardened (output buffer + graceful parse). * FIX: **AI alt text button** — visible success/error messages, manual regenerate overwrites existing alt, attachment ID detection feedback. * FIX: **GSC Sync now** — survives long megasite runs; auto-refresh on non-JSON AJAX response. * UX: **Idle editor scoring** — publication readiness runs after 1.2s typing pause via `requestIdleCallback`; tag suggestions load on Readiness tab only. * UX: **3-tab editor sidebar** — Readiness / AI / Radar; gauges stay visible above tabs. * SCHEMA: **Hybrid default** — new installs and wizard keep Yoast/Rank Math JSON- LD; Strict is opt-in. * GLOBAL: **WPML / Polylang AI prompts** — output language from post locale, then per-post geo. * SAFE: **Duplicate plugin folder notice** on activate; expanded uninstall cleanup for new options/crons. * TESTS: **SchemaArticleBodyTest**, **SchemaWikidataConfidenceTest** (plus existing author/body coverage). * NOTE: After deploy on megasites, run **GSC Sync now** once; re-save service account JSON if Indexing/GSC tokens fail. Timeline cache bumps to v5 automatically. #### 2.5.2 * FIX: **articleBody stability** — rolled back aggressive `nn`/line-break rewriting that could empty `articleBody` after post Update; body is now plain extract + JSON quote safety only (`NROS_SCHEMA_BUILD` 263). * FIX: **articleBody cache** — post_meta stores JSON-LD as base64 so WP slash/unslash cannot break `\\n` escapes (`NROS_SCHEMA_BUILD` 265). * SCHEMA: **Publisher trust node on singles** — posts, categories, tags, and author archives emit the same `#organization` with description, sameAs, contact, address, and policy URLs (no taxID/VAT repeat); full legal org remains on home/About (` NROS_SCHEMA_BUILD` 266). * SCHEMA: **E-E-A-T pack A** — singles add WebSite/WebPage `description`, `inLanguage`, dates; trust org adds `foundingDate`/`areaServed`; slim Person keeps `sameAs`(` NROS_SCHEMA_BUILD` 267). * FIX: **Empty body fallback** — when HTML extract is empty but `post_content` exists, retries `the_content` and raw strip_shortcodes/strip_tags so `articleBody` and `wordCount` stay populated on all sites. * NOTE: After deploy, Update one post to refresh cached schema. Legacy plain meta is still read until rebuild. * TESTS: **SchemaArticleBodyTest** — extract/fallback and JSON quote safety. * SAFE: **No database migrations.** #### 2.5.1 * SCHEMA: **Enriched archive ItemList** — home, blog feed, categories, tags, and author archives emit `ListItem` entries with nested `NewsArticle` (`headline`,` url`, `datePublished`, `author` Person with `name`/`url`, featured `image`) for Google Discover / Rich Results compatibility. * SCHEMA: **Category & tag CollectionPage** — `about` entity from term (auto Place/ Thing + Wikidata `sameAs`), `BreadcrumbList`, and enriched `ItemList` on taxonomy archives. * SCHEMA: **Blog feed fixes** — correct `ItemList` `@id` on posts page; breadcrumb on blog index. * SCHEMA: **About page** — full Organization publisher graph (not slim `#organization` lite) for transparency / E-E-A-T. * SCHEMA: **Publisher logo** — registered `nros-publisher-logo` size (600×60); JSON-LD caps display height at 60px (Google guideline). Settings hint updated. * SCHEMA: **Author slim node** — keeps `knowsAbout` on single-post pointer Person; full E-E-A-T remains on author archive only. * SCHEMA: **`articleBody` cleanup** — shortcode strip, heading/paragraph structure preserved, HTML entities decoded in headlines, literal `nn`/`rn` junk repaired. * SCHEMA: **Wikidata `sameAs` cascade** — tags and mentions resolve Wikidata URLs via confidence gate, city map, soft match (≥50), or manual term URL. * SCHEMA: **Auto cache invalidation** — bumps schema global + listings version on plugin upgrade (`NROS_SCHEMA_BUILD` in archive cache keys). * TESTS: **SchemaArticleBodyTest**, **SchemaAuthorTest** (slim `knowsAbout`), ** SchemaWikidataConfidenceTest**. * NOTE: After upgrade, **Save Settings** once (or wait for auto-invalidate) and** re-update** posts if cached `articleBody` still shows old `nn` artifacts. * SAFE: **No database migrations.** #### 2.5.0 * PERFORMANCE: **Editor DOM scan fix** — removed global `keyup` on all textareas/ contenteditable; SEO meta is read from Gutenberg store or targeted Yoast/Rank Math fields only. * NEW: **Sidebar tabs** — Desk / Tools / Radar / AI replace accordion clutter; tab choice persists in localStorage. * NEW: **Per-post geo targeting** — Article market select in the editor (post meta category site default); Trend Radar, Discover momentum, and AJAX feeds respect it. Category-level override on the category edit screen. * NEW: **Publisher transparency URLs** — Settings for `publishingPrinciples`, ` correctionsPolicy`, `ownershipFundingInfo`, and `actionableFeedbackPolicy` on homepage Organization schema. **Generate page with AI** (BYOK) creates a draft policy page and fills the URL. * NEW: **Yoast / Rank Math in Chief Insights** — average SEO score KPI and per- article score column on winning/losing posts tables (read-only). * IMPROVEMENT: **GSC 12-month backfill hardening** — smaller URL batches, sub-step loop (queries site post batches), 60-minute lock refresh, longer pause between AJAX steps. * FIX: **Dashboard Trend Radar** — Trends/News widget on the Dashboard loads `script. js` and auto-fetches on the Alerts tab (was stuck on “Tap TRENDS”). * FIX: **Editor Radar tab** — removed broken `
` wrapper so Trends/News panels render in the sidebar. * FIX: **Article market default** — “Site default (GEO)” option in the editor; clears per-post override correctly. * FIX: **AI Daily Brief & Author desk overview** — server-built metrics payload, real API error messages (not generic “AI request failed”), Gemini-first with fallback trail; author desk caps payload at 24 writers. * IMPROVEMENT: **Schema settings UI** — cleaner Article body in JSON-LD row (stacked layout, max-words only when Limited). * SAFE: **No database migrations.** #### 2.4.3 * NEW: **Wikidata confidence gate** — auto tag enrichment picks the best Wikidata hit and stores `sameAs` only when the label match score meets the threshold ( default 72/100). Low-confidence matches are skipped; manual Wikidata URLs in the tag editor always emit `sameAs`. * NEW: **Slim author `worksFor`** — article graphs link the slim `Person` author node to the publisher Organization (`#organization`) without expanding full E- E-A-T on every post. * FIX: **JSON-LD quote safety** — sanitize ASCII and curly `"` quotes across the full `@graph` before encode; prevents invalid schema when article text contains quoted phrases (e.g. `Επιτροπή αγώνα "ελεύθερο …"`). * FIX: **Schema cache read** — `wp_unslash()` on post meta JSON-LD cache for correct escape round-trip after save. * FIX: **Admin layout & load** — Newsroom Dashboard / Settings / PRO tabs no longer enqueue the full post-editor `script.js` + `style.css` bundle; fixes broken admin CSS after switching away from Lite profile and reduces wp-admin CPU. * NOTE: Includes all **2.4.2** schema fixes (contentLocation/dateline, articleBody cleanup, optional primary-city fallback). Save Settings after upgrade to rebuild JSON-LD cache. * SAFE: **No database migrations.** #### 2.4.2 * FIX: **Article `contentLocation` / `dateline`** — Primary city no longer copied onto every post by default. International and national stories no longer inherit the publisher HQ (e.g. Patras on a Canada wire story). Story geography comes only from Place tags, city tags, or lede dateline patterns. * NEW: **Optional setting** — “Use primary city on articles when no story place is detected” (off by default; enable only for purely local newsrooms). * FIX: **`articleBody` cleanup** — Full and Limited modes sanitize plain text: strip emoji/pictographs, decode HTML entities, remove literal `rn`/`rnrn` junk, collapse block whitespace, and replace ASCII/curly `"` quotes so JSON-LD stays valid (omit mode unchanged). * FIX: **Admin Dashboard CSS** — stop loading the full post-editor `script.js` /` style.css` bundle on Newsroom settings tabs (Dashboard, Settings, PRO); use lightweight palette + tab-specific JS only. * IMPROVEMENT: **Primary city copy** — clarified in Settings that Primary city applies to Organization `areaServed` / `location`; article fields are opt-in via the new checkbox. * SAFE: **No database migrations.** Save Settings once after upgrade to refresh cached JSON-LD. #### 2.4.1 * NEW: **GSC 12-month backfill (Pro)** — one-click historical import for top posts and tagged URLs; incremental step loop in Chief Insights; 13-month retention; locks against daily sync overlap. * IMPROVEMENT: **Chief Insights v2** — clearer KPI cards, channel legend, per-table hints, “Refresh now” link, movers show prevcurrent position and signed click deltas (`new` / `+N`), aligned site-wide GSC channel totals. * IMPROVEMENT: **Copy-paste prompts restored** — AI Prompts accordion and Settings Prompts tab stay visible even when BYOK / AI Assist is active. * IMPROVEMENT: **Settings selects** — Schema richness and output mode use short labels with live detail text; wider dropdowns (no truncated options). * FIX: **`newsai_vars` JS error** on Chief Insights — shared `newsai_ensure_admin_vars_script()`; command palette depends on `newsai-admin-vars`; removed unsafe inline that referenced` newsai_vars` before it was defined; editor `window.newsai_vars` copy runs after localize. * FIX: **PHP warning** — `$newsai_is_pro_active` defined once at the start of the settings screen (Site Details / usage registry row). * FIX: **`strip_tags()` deprecation** — admin page `$title` set per tab (Dashboard, Chief Insights, etc.) so wp-admin header no longer receives null. * PERFORMANCE: **Asset cache-bust** — `newsai_asset_ver()` appends filemtime to Chief Insights / palette / war-room JS-CSS after plugin updates. * SAFE: **No new database migrations** beyond 2.4.0 tables. #### 2.4.0 * NEW: **Auto alt text (Pro BYOK)** — AI vision alt on image upload (optional) + “Generate alt (AI)” in Media Library; never overwrites manual alt; boosts Discover score accessibility bucket. * NEW: **Seasonal radar (Pro)** — YoY GSC keywords & tags with 14/30/45-day lead time; daily trend history; Chief Insights panel + weekly email section; feeds AI Daily Brief. * NEW: **GSC search query sync (Pro)** — stores web search queries (query + date) for accurate Seasonal radar YoY forecasting; incremental sync each GSC run, weekly 56-day refresh, 400-day prune. * IMPROVEMENT: **Phase A megasite polish** — clearer UX toggle descriptions; copy prompts hidden when AI Assist active; Content Decay off by default (legacy notice); FAQ block opt-in (no empty placeholders); conditional frontend CSS for editor blocks. * PERFORMANCE: **Phase B** — lean core bundle on anonymous frontend pageviews ( ~15 admin-only modules skipped); Publisher performance profiles (Lite / Standard/ Full); trend cron uses Google Trends RSS directly (no AI bundle required). * CLEANUP: **Phase D** — Content Decay Radar retired (cron removed); **GSC traffic- drop alerts** in Chief Insights + weekly email; Prompts settings tab hidden when BYOK active; Performance settings consolidated. * FIX: **Settings save** — nested Performance profile form no longer breaks the main Save button in wp-admin. * FIX: **AI desk overview** — desk actions render as text (not “Array”); zero-post authors only in silent list; metrics-backed summaries when the model omits detail. * DATABASE: New table `wp_newsai_gsc_queries` (`NEWSAI_DB_VERSION` 1.4). #### 2.3.9 * PERFORMANCE: **GSC incremental sync** — post-level rows sync only new dates ( 3-day overlap, 14-day cap); site charts refresh 14 days daily, full 93-day window weekly. * PERFORMANCE: **Content Decay Radar** — weekly cron (was daily) and lean SQL ID batch fetch instead of `WP_Query`. * SAFE: **No database migrations.** #### 2.3.8 * PERFORMANCE: **Home / blog / category / tag schema** — persistent option cache( was 1-hour transient); early exit without org rebuild. Invalidates on schema settings save (`nros_schema_global_v`) or publish/unpublish (`nros_schema_listings_v` for ItemList freshness). * SAFE: **No database migrations.** #### 2.3.7 * FIX: **Schema cache invalidation** — saving Lite mode, messaging, or other non- schema settings no longer bumps `nros_schema_global_v` and forces a full-site JSON-LD rebuild storm. * SAFE: **No database migrations.** #### 2.3.6 * PERFORMANCE: **Schema post_meta cache** — single-post JSON-LD stored in post meta (Rank Math style); early exit on pageview (2 meta reads, no org rebuild). Legacy posts backfill on first visit, existing transients migrate automatically, optional “Warm next 25 posts” + daily cron batch. * SAFE: **No database migrations.** #### 2.3.5 * IMPROVEMENT: **Lite mode scope** — also skips Speakable snippet on articles, pauses War-room 30s AJAX polling, and stops loading the full editor bundle for Tag Guard in Lite. * NOTE: Lite mode still keeps JSON-LD schema and background crons active (main load on high-traffic sites). * SAFE: **No database migrations.** #### 2.3.4 * FIX: **Weekly report email** — safer UTF-8/HTML sending via `wp_mail_from` filters( no broken `From:` header); captures PHPMailer errors; test send works without saving first; clearer admin error messages. * SAFE: **No database migrations.** #### 2.3.3 * IMPROVEMENT: **Lazy Trends/News radar** — live feed loads only when the sidebar section opens or the user taps TRENDS/NEWS (no RSS fetch on every editor load). * IMPROVEMENT: **Command palette on all admin tabs** — ⌘K/Ctrl+K works on Chief Insights and Author Performance without loading the full editor script bundle. * IMPROVEMENT: **Schema warm on publish** — JSON-LD transient is pre-built at save/ publish so the first frontend pageview is a cache hit. * IMPROVEMENT: **Lite mode** — hides the Trends/News radar section entirely in the post editor. * SAFE: **No database migrations.** #### 2.3.2 * IMPROVEMENT: **Lite / Performance Mode** — optional toggle disables post editor sidebar, Auto-Timeline injection, and Breaking badge only; JSON-LD schema, GSC, indexing, and crons stay active. * IMPROVEMENT: **Admin asset loading** — editor bundle loads only on post editor, Settings, Dashboard, and PRO tabs; Chief Insights / Author Performance load tab- specific JS/CSS. * IMPROVEMENT: **Chief Insights & Author Performance caching** — heavy admin aggregates cached for 24 hours (auto-refresh at UTC midnight or after GSC sync). * IMPROVEMENT: **Large-site load** — schema `foundingDate` cached;
