Pier #43 - Headspin, ACSS, LiveAgent, Slim SEO Link Manager & Echo Rewards

Stefan from Ahoi.dev | The Pier #43 | Friday, 12 Apr 2024

Hi there,

Welcome to the 43rd issue of The Pier. This week, Slim SEO Link Manager 1.9 has improved the way suggested links are inserted into WordPress posts. Previously, you could only insert links from new posts to existing posts, improving the rankings of the existing posts but not the new ones.

In this version, you can add links both from the new post to existing posts, and from existing posts to the new post. This way, the new post will have internal links and will rank faster. In other news, they have also added support for TranslatePress, allowing you to analyse and update links from translations, including slugs (in the Pro version).

We would also like to welcome LiveAgent to The Port.

Here is a selection of the latest and greatest blog posts we published this week on Ahoi.dev. You will also find some interesting industry news, the latest directory listings on The Port, job openings, and deals. Enjoy!
