Alt texts via AI & CSV export of URL changes – SEOPress 7.9

SEOPress 7.9 is now available. We encourage you to update your site as soon as possible to take advantage of the latest features, improvements and security fixes.

🎉 New – Improved alternative text generation with AI

We continue to iterate our integration with OpenAI by now offering SEOPress PRO users the ability to generate relevant alternative text directly from the modal for inserting an image/gallery within your article.

An additional way to increase productivity thanks to SEOPress!

🎉 New – Enriched semi-automatic redirects

When you modify the slug of an article, page, publication type or taxonomy term, SEOPress PRO alerts you via a notice to allow you to quickly create a redirection and thus avoid losing SEO.

With this new version, you can export all of these URL change detections to a CSV file.

For example, if you delete a large number of articles, the CSV export will allow you to create a redirection plan in your favorite spreadsheet such as Google Sheets or Excel, then import it via SEOPress.
