Other​

  • Removes "meta keywords" from the plugin as this has had no search result value for at least 7 years.
  • Removes the "noindex subpages" feature as Google has gotten much better at paginated series, and it's now actually detrimental to use.
  • Removes the "Other" tab from the Titles & Metas settings screen, as all options have been moved or removed.
  • Security hardening.
