Three new tasks, better navigation, and a bug fix in the Yoast SEO Task List 

Yoast SEO Premium, Yoast WooCommerce SEO, and Yoast SEO AI+

When someone shares your content on Facebook or X, the image that appears alongside it can make a real difference to whether people click. The Task List will now remind you to set a custom social sharing image for your posts and pages, so your content looks its best every time it gets shared. 

Go directly to the right place in the editor 

Previously, clicking a task would open the post editor and leave you to find the right section yourself. Now, Yoast takes you to the exact part of the editor you need: the SEO tab, the readability panel, or the meta description field. Less scrolling, faster fixing. 

Bug fix: tasks now appear in your language 

We fixed a bug where task descriptions were showing up in the site’s language rather than the logged-in user’s language. If you manage a multilingual site, or your personal language settings differ from your site’s default, tasks will now display correctly for you. 

Also in this release 

  • We’ve added a new Yoast tab to the WordPress Plugins screen that groups all your installed Yoast plugins in one place. This requires WordPress 7.0+. 
  • We fixed a bug where alt text changes made via the inline image editor in How-to and FAQ blocks weren’t saving correctly to the frontend. Thanks to @param-chandarana for the report. 

What’s coming next 

We’re continuing to expand the Task List with improvements that surface high-impact changes specific to your content. Users of paid plans will see additional tasks in upcoming releases.

Update to Yoast SEO 27.4 to get these improvements automatically, or download the latest version from the WordPress plugin directory.
