### 󠀁[Fijne WordPress-plugin voor SEO zonder gedoe](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fijne-wordpress-plugin-voor-seo-zonder-gedoe/)󠁿

 [harrie07](https://profiles.wordpress.org/harrie07/) 6 Janaayo, 2026

Ik gebruik de Launchmind WordPress-plugin nu een tijdje en wat mij vooral aanspreekt
is hoe weinig tijd het kost. SEO stond altijd wel op mijn lijstje, maar eerlijk 
gezegd kwam het er vaak niet van omdat het zoveel handmatig werk is. Na de onboarding
was eigenlijk alles duidelijk. De blogs worden automatisch aangemaakt en ik krijg
ze per mail ter goedkeuring. Met één klik staat het artikel live op mijn site. Ik
hoef niet meer in WordPress te rommelen of teksten te kopiëren en plakken. Wat ik
prettig vind, is dat ik wel de controle houd. Als iets niet past, keur ik het gewoon
niet goed. De content sluit goed aan bij mijn website en is duidelijk geschreven
met zowel Google als AI-tools in gedachten. Voor de prijs die je betaalt is dit 
een fijne oplossing. Een SEO-specialist of marketeer kost al snel duizenden euro’s
per maand, terwijl dit veel werk uit handen neemt voor een fractie daarvan. Voor
mij werkt het vooral omdat het consistent doorgaat zonder dat ik er steeds bovenop
moet zitten. Al met al een handige plugin als je wel aan SEO wilt doen, maar geen
zin hebt in gedoe.

## Isbeddellada

#### 5.2.0

 * **Server-side pageview beacon.** The plugin now POSTs a pageview from PHP on 
   every actual Launchmind article render — independent of JavaScript, cache plugins,
   or render-mode globals. Until 5.2 every pageview was tracked client-side via `
   navigator.sendBeacon`, which silently dropped on sites where (a) LiteSpeed Cache/
   WP Rocket JS-optimization stripped or deferred the inline script, (b) the page
   was rendered through a CPT path where `$GLOBALS['launchmind_blog_post_data']`
   wasn’t populated and the JS injection self-guard returned early, or (c) the visitor
   used an ad-blocker that flagged `/api/tracking/plugin-view` as a tracker domain.
   Affected sites showed zero traffic in their partner dashboards despite real visitors.
   The PHP-side beacon fires from `template_redirect` (deferred to `register_shutdown_function`
   so it never blocks the response), resolves the article slug via three independent
   paths (CPT global  query var  post object), filters out common bot User-Agents,
   and POSTs the same `{subscription_id, article_slug, platform, event_type, source:"
   server"}` payload the JS beacon already sends. Customers who want PHP tracking
   off can opt out with `add_filter('launchmind_disable_server_pageview', '__return_true');`(
   the JS beacon stays under the existing `enable_analytics` setting).
 * **Backend dedup window keeps partner counts honest.** When a v5.2 site fires 
   both beacons for the same pageview (PHP from render + JS from the rendered page),
   the backend now dedups on `(subscription_id, article_slug, ip_hash)` within a
   30-second window: the first beacon to arrive increments the partner counters,
   the second is recorded for audit but skips the increment RPCs. End result for
   partners: exactly one pageview per visitor, regardless of which side succeeded—
   sites that previously showed zero traffic because of a stripped JS beacon now
   count via PHP, sites with healthy JS keep counting via JS, and sites with both
   running don’t double-count.
 * **Diagnostic meta tag in `wp_head`.** Adds `<meta name="launchmind-article" content
   ="<sub>:<slug>:<plugin_version>">` on Launchmind article pages so support / debugging
   tools can verify a page is actually rendered by the plugin without trawling logs.
   Self-guards on the same `is_singular` check as the beacon — no-op on non-Launchmind
   pages.
 * **Click beacon labelled `source: "client"`** for symmetry with the new server-
   side flag. No behavior change — clicks remain JS-only because outbound link interception
   requires a browser-side DOM listener.
 * No PHP API, database, settings, shortcode or rendering-mode change. Drop-in upgrade
   for every existing 5.1.x install. Customers running aggressive cache plugins (
   LiteSpeed Cache, WP Rocket, Cloudflare APO) should see partner-dashboard pageviews
   start appearing within minutes of upgrade for the first time since installing
   the plugin.

#### 5.1.11

 * **WhatsApp / Telegram / Signal link previews now show the cover image.** Partner-
   uploaded cover images for Launchmind articles are typically 2-4 MB high-resolution
   PNGs (great for in-article rendering on desktop, problematic for chat-app preview
   crawlers). WhatsApp’s preview crawler skips images larger than ~1 MB and fails
   outright above ~5 MB; LinkedIn and Facebook handle the same images fine because
   they re-process server-side at higher size limits. 5.1.11 detects when the cover
   image is hosted on Supabase Storage (the default for Launchmind partner uploads)
   and rewrites the og:image / twitter:image URL to use Supabase’s `/render/image/
   public/` transformation endpoint with `width=1200&height=630&quality=80&resize
   =cover`. The transformed URL serves a ~150 KB JPG that all major chat-app preview
   crawlers accept, while the in-article body image still uses the raw high-resolution
   URL. Non-Supabase image hosts (Pexels, custom CDNs, theme-hosted) are left untouched—
   they either auto-optimize or already serve appropriately sized files. No new 
   options.
 * **Settings tab now documents the unified-blog shortcode pattern.** The Shortcode
   and Examples sections now show the `[launchmind_blog limit="6" columns="2" include_wp_posts
   ="true"]` pattern that merges native WordPress posts and Launchmind articles 
   into one date-sorted grid with built-in pagination. The Shortcode Options table
   also documents `include_wp_posts` and `offset` parameters that were previously
   only discoverable via reading the source. Recommended for sites built with Breakdance/
   Elementor / Bricks / Oxygen where the native Post Loop widget renders Launchmind
   cards without images or pills (the builders fetch post meta via raw SQL that 
   bypasses the WordPress filter API our virtual posts depend on). One shortcode
   line replaces the broken builder integration.

#### 5.1.10

 * **Two new routes for page-builder Post Loop coverage.** Cards in Breakdance Post
   Loop / Elementor Pro Posts / Bricks Query Loop / Oxygen Repeater were rendering
   with title, date, and link but missing the cover image and category pill, even
   though our 5.1.6+ filter chain on `get_post_metadata`, `image_downsize`, `wp_get_object_terms`,
   and friends should have intercepted those calls. Two additions in 5.1.10: (1)
   the `launchmind_article` CPT now declares `category` and `post_tag` as supported
   taxonomies, so page builders that gate term-fetching on the CPT’s declared taxonomy
   support no longer skip our posts; (2) when virtual posts are injected via `the_posts`,
   the WordPress object cache is now prewarmed with `_thumbnail_id` meta for each
   post, so builders that consult `wp_cache_get` before falling back to raw SQL 
   still find the correct sentinel ID. Strictly additive — installs that already
   render fine on 5.1.6/5.1.7/5.1.8/5.1.9 keep working unchanged.

#### 5.1.9

 * **Topbar contrast fix for builder-managed “sticky on scroll” headers.** The 5.1.5/
   5.1.7 sticky-offset + brand-colour backdrop only fired for headers whose CSS `
   position` was already `fixed` or `sticky` on first paint. Many Breakdance, Elementor
   Pro, and Divi sites build their topbar as `position: absolute` over a transparent
   hero and only switch it to `position: fixed` _after_ the visitor scrolls — those
   builders use class names like `bde-header-builder--sticky-scroll-`, `elementor-
   sticky`, `et_pb_sticky_module`. Until 5.1.9 our detector skipped them, so the
   article-page sticky-offset was never reserved and the topbar text would clash
   with the article body’s contrast as soon as the visitor scrolled. 5.1.9 extends
   the detector to also accept absolute/relative headers whose class names match
   these builder-sticky patterns (or that carry a `data-sticky` attribute), so the
   offset and the brand-colour backdrop both apply. No-op on installs that don’t
   use any sticky-on-scroll header.

#### 5.1.8

 * **Page-builder pill cleanup + extra term-resolution coverage.** Two fixes for
   builders that join multiple category names into a single concatenated pill string(
   Breakdance Post Loop is the canonical example): (1) the virtual `category` / `
   post_tag` terms emitted for Launchmind cards are now capped at **2 tags max**,
   with **2 words max per tag**, so long-tail Launchmind keywords (“data science
   bureau”, “AI oplossingen bedrijf”) never collide into an unreadable run-on label;
   the caps are filterable via `launchmind_blog_card_max_tags` / `launchmind_blog_card_max_words`
   for themes that do render multi-pill cards. (2) Term injection now also hooks
   the lower-level `wp_get_object_terms` filter as a backup path — some builder 
   configurations resolve term relationships via direct calls that bypass `get_the_terms`,
   which would leave virtual cards with empty pills despite our `get_the_terms` 
   filter being in place. No breaking changes; existing sites that already render
   fine on 5.1.6/5.1.7 keep their current pill layout (just with the tighter caps
   applied).

#### 5.1.7

 * **Auto-detect brand colour for the article-page topbar backdrop.** 5.1.5 added
   a contrast-safe but neutral backdrop (#101418 / #f5f5f5) behind the topbar on
   single-article pages whenever the host theme’s topbar text was about to disappear
   against the article body. 5.1.7 makes the backdrop **brand-aware** by sampling
   the topbar’s actual background colour on the homepage and using that on the article
   page. Mechanism: the sticky-detect script loads `/` in a hidden same-origin iframe
   during browser idle time, runs the same topbar detector inside that document,
   walks the topbar’s ancestor chain to find the first non-transparent background,
   and writes the resulting colour to localStorage with a 24-hour TTL. First visit
   shows the neutral fallback for ~1 second while sampling completes, then swaps
   to the brand colour with a smooth 220ms transition; every subsequent visit applies
   the cached brand colour instantly on first paint. Resolution order: theme-set`--
   launchmind-article-topbar-bg` CSS variable wins, then cached brand colour, then
   neutral contrast fallback, then async homepage sample. Customers can still override
   with a single CSS line if the auto-detection picks the wrong region. The whole
   feature degrades silently — sites that block iframe-of-self via `X-Frame-Options
   DENY`, themes without a sticky topbar, or homepages where the topbar genuinely
   is the article-body colour all stay on the neutral fallback (or no backdrop at
   all). No new options, no admin setup, no breaking changes for installs that don’t
   have a topbar contrast collision.

#### 5.1.6

 * **Critical fix for 5.1.5 page-builder rendering.** 5.1.5 introduced cover-image
   and category-pill rendering for Launchmind articles inside page-builder Post 
   Loops, but on real Breakdance / Bricks / Oxygen sites the cards still rendered
   without an `<img>` and with an empty pill. Root cause: the `virtual_thumbnail_id`,`
   virtual_thumbnail`, `virtual_has_thumbnail`, and `virtual_terms` filters all 
   called `get_post($virtual_id)` to resolve the article, but virtual Launchmind
   posts have no `wp_posts` row — so on a cold object cache the call did a DB lookup,
   returned null, and the filters silently returned the original (empty) value. 
   Page builders therefore got `_thumbnail_id = 0` and an empty term list and skipped
   emitting the inline `<style> background-image: url(...)` block + the pill text.
   The plugin now keeps a request-scoped `post_id  API payload + slug` registry 
   populated by `Launchmind_Blog_Merge::to_wp_post()` (and `Launchmind_CPT::build_virtual_post()`
   on the single-post path), and every CPT-aware filter resolves through the registry
   instead of through `get_post()`. Confirmed on Twentynext: cover images and category
   pills now render on Launchmind cards alongside native posts.

#### 5.1.5

 * **Page-builder cards now render the cover image.** 5.1.4 made Launchmind articles
   available to Breakdance Post Loop, Elementor Pro Posts, Bricks Query Loop and
   Oxygen Repeater queries, but those builders resolve featured images by passing
   the article’s `_thumbnail_id` through `wp_get_attachment_image_src()` — a path
   that hits the attachment row in `wp_posts` and returned an empty `<img>` for 
   our virtual posts. The plugin now intercepts `image_downsize`, `wp_get_attachment_url`
   and `wp_get_attachment_image_src` for our sentinel attachment IDs and returns
   the article’s cover URL directly, so the same card template that paints the customer’s
   own posts paints Launchmind articles end-to-end. Cover URLs are pre-registered
   when the loop builds the virtual post (no race with builder code that resolves
   images before our `_thumbnail_id` filter runs).
 * **Page-builder cards now render category / tag pills.** Builders that loop `get_the_terms(
   $post, 'category')` or `get_the_terms($post, 'post_tag')` to paint the coloured
   pill on each card got an empty placeholder for Launchmind articles (our CPT uses
   its own taxonomies). The plugin now returns synthesized `WP_Term` objects built
   from the article’s API tags whenever a builder asks for `category` or `post_tag`
   on a `launchmind_article` post — pills now show meaningful labels with no setup.
   Custom-named taxonomies (e.g. `news_category` on bespoke themes) can opt in via
   the new `launchmind_blog_card_taxonomies` filter. Term archive links resolve 
   to `#` since the synthesized terms have no real archive page.
 * **Topbar contrast auto-fix on single-article pages.** Some themes (Twentynext-
   style agency themes, Wix imports, modern boutique designs) use a transparent `
   position: fixed` topbar with white logo + nav text, designed to overlay a dark
   hero on the homepage. On Launchmind single-article pages there’s no hero, so 
   that white text became invisible against the body’s white background. The companion`
   launchmind-sticky-detect.js` now samples the topbar’s actual text colour and 
   effective background colour, computes the contrast, and — only when there is 
   a real contrast collision — sets `--lm-topbar-backdrop` to a contrasting fixed
   band drawn behind the topbar. Light text on white pages now reads against #101418;
   dark text on dark pages reads against #f5f5f5. Customers can override the colour
   with one CSS line by setting `--launchmind-article-topbar-bg` in their theme —
   the script reads that first and uses it verbatim. Pages where the existing topbar
   already has sufficient contrast see no change.
 * **Sticky-offset rules and detector now apply to CPT-mode (`single-launchmind_article`)
   too.** The 5.0.1 detector + scoped CSS were originally written for the legacy
   single-post body class; CPT mode (default since 4.11) uses `single-launchmind_article`,
   which the rules silently skipped. Both classes are now covered.

#### 5.1.4

 * **Page builder Post Loops now show Launchmind articles next to native posts.**
   The `launchmind_article` custom post type registers as `public` / `publicly_queryable`/
   REST-visible so Breakdance Post Loop, Elementor Pro Posts, Bricks Query Loop,
   Oxygen Repeater and similar widgets surface it in their Post Types / Include 
   picker. **Crucially, the secondary `WP_Query` that those widgets run is now intercepted**—
   until 5.1.4 only the WP main blog query was hooked, so adding the CPT to a page-
   builder widget showed an empty loop because the articles aren’t stored as real`
   wp_posts` rows. The plugin now injects Launchmind virtual posts into any secondary
   query whose `post_type` clause names `launchmind_article`, sorts the combined
   feed by publish date, and rewrites `found_posts` so pagination across the merged
   set is correct. End result: customers can pick Posts + Launchmind Articles in
   their existing card / loop widget and articles render with the host theme’s existing
   card design — no shortcode, no manual styling. The CPT remains hidden from the
   WP admin menu, nav-menu picker and built-in search results; only the page-builder
   query sees it. Toggleable via Settings  Launchmind Blog  “Page Builder Compatibility”(
   default ON).
 * **Setup polish.** The “Where should your articles appear?” welcome notice no 
   longer appears after the setup wizard has already been completed. Previously,
   sites where the wizard ran to completion still saw the notice as a duplicate 
   prompt. The notice now self-dismisses as soon as an API key is configured (the
   wizard already records the integration-mode choice), so admins see the question
   exactly once.
 * **Documentation.** Added a “Page Builders (Breakdance, Elementor, Bricks, Oxygen)”
   help section to Settings  Launchmind Blog with concrete steps for adding `Launchmind
   Articles` to a Post Loop / Query widget. The internal post-type slug (`launchmind_article`)
   is documented for builders that ask for the slug rather than the human label.

#### 5.1.3

 * Fixed: Setup wizard “Open Settings & finish setup” button and welcome-notice 
   form/redirect linked to a non-existent admin URL (`options-general.php?page=launchmind-
   blog` and `admin.php?page=launchmind-blog`), which made WordPress show “You do
   not have permission to view this page” even for site administrators. Updated 
   all four references to the correct registered admin page (`admin.php?page=launchmind-
   dashboard`). After upgrading, the setup wizard’s finish button and the welcome
   notice both land on the real Launchmind dashboard.

#### 5.1.2

 * Server-side parity: the Launchmind dashboard now records article-level views 
   and outbound clicks for every plugin install (previously only subscription-level
   totals incremented for plugin traffic). No plugin-side change is required — existing
   installs benefit on next pageview. Companion server-side fix to the `metadata.
   platform` filter ensures plugin-tracked customers correctly appear in the partner
   dashboard’s per-article breakdown.

#### 5.1.1

 * Fixed: Page-view + click analytics beacons silently never fired on sites running
   CPT rendering mode (the default since 4.11). The tracking script was wired into
   the legacy single-post renderer’s template path, which CPT mode bypasses entirely—
   partner analytics dashboards therefore showed zero traffic for those installs
   even though the plugin and its content were rendering correctly. The script is
   now hooked on `wp_footer` with a self-guard that fires in both legacy and CPT
   modes, so click + page-view events flow into the dashboard for every Launchmind
   single-post pageview regardless of rendering mode. No PHP API, settings, shortcode,
   or rendering-mode change.

#### 5.1.0

 * **Resilience: stale-while-revalidate cache.** API responses are now stored with
   a 24-hour stale envelope on top of the existing 10-minute fresh window. When 
   the upstream Launchmind API is slow or unreachable, the plugin keeps serving 
   the last-known-good content instead of failing the page. Visitors see no disruption
   during transient upstream issues. Fresh-window TTL is unchanged for the 99% case
   where the API is healthy — this is a graceful-degradation safety net, not a longer
   cache.
 * **Resilience: bandwidth + latency win via ETag/If-None-Match.** The API client
   now persists ETags returned by the Launchmind API and sends them back as `If-
   None-Match` on the next request. When content hasn’t changed, the upstream returns`
   304 Not Modified` with no body — we re-use the cached value without a fresh download.
   At fleet scale this cuts plugin  API bandwidth by roughly 80% during steady-state,
   and shaves response latency on cache-revalidations.
 * **Resilience: 8s API timeout (down from 30s).** A degraded upstream can no longer
   pin a customer site’s pageload for half a minute. Combined with the stale-while-
   revalidate fallback above, slow upstream responses now degrade gracefully (8s
   fall back to cached content) instead of stalling the whole page.
 * **Scale: jittered cache TTLs.** Cache expiry is now scattered with ±60 seconds
   of randomness so customer sites don’t all expire their caches in lockstep and
   stampede the upstream API. Spreads the refresh wave across a 2-minute window,
   dropping peak QPS by roughly an order of magnitude on high-traffic content.
 * **Scale: object-cache promotion.** The cache layer now uses WordPress’s persistent
   object cache (Redis / Memcached when present) on top of transients, so high-traffic
   sites with a managed object cache see fewer options-table reads on cache hits.
 * **Scale: chunked sitemap storage.** Previously all sitemap posts were serialized
   into a single transient. On sites with 2000+ Launchmind posts that blob hit ~
   6 MB and was deserialized in full on every wp-sitemap.xml request. Storage is
   now chunked into 100-post pages, the count is read from a separate small transient
   for `get_max_num_pages()`, and partial fetch failures (page 3 fails) no longer
   wipe the chunks that did load. Sitemap XML output is byte-identical.
 * **Edge cache headers on single-post pages.** Launchmind article responses now
   emit `Cache-Control: public, max-age=300, stale-while-revalidate=60` so CDN /
   page-cache layers (Cloudflare, WP Rocket, LiteSpeed) align with the upstream 
   5-minute cache instead of caching for hours and serving stale titles after edits,
   or caching for zero seconds and re-hitting upstream on every visit. Logged-in
   users are excluded so admins always see live content.
 * **Security: tracking script no longer ships the API key to the browser.** The
   page-view + click beacons used to inline the customer’s API key into the rendered
   HTML. The tracking endpoint already accepted the public-safe `subscription_id`
   on its own; the API key is now kept server-side only and the inline script ships
   nothing more sensitive than the subscription ID.
 * **Visibility: daily plugin-health beacon.** The plugin now sends a once-a-day,
   fire-and-forget POST to `/api/plugin-health` reporting the plugin version, WordPress
   version, PHP version, post count, and rendering mode. This is how Launchmind 
   operations answers “which sites are still on a vulnerable plugin version?” at
   fleet scale. Customers who don’t want to send telemetry can opt out with `add_filter('
   launchmind_disable_health_beacon', '__return_true');`.
 * No PHP API, database, settings, shortcode or rendering-mode change. Drop-in upgrade
   for every existing 5.0.x install. Sites running the previous transient cache 
   format are upgraded transparently the first time each cache key is read post-
   upgrade.

#### 5.0.1

 * Fixed: On host themes that pin a `position: fixed` topbar to the viewport without
   compensating the single-post template with matching padding, the article title
   sat under the topbar at first paint — the first line was hidden behind the bar
   and only the second line peeked out below. Reported on bwnext.com and identical
   to the symptom many premium agency themes exhibit when their blog template forgets
   the sticky-header offset.
    - Adds `public/js/launchmind-sticky-detect.js` (≈1 KB), a vanilla detector that
      measures the actual height of any `position: fixed` / `position: sticky` element
      pinned at `top: 0` and writes the result (plus a 16px buffer) to a new CSS
      variable `--lm-sticky-offset` on `<html>`.
    - Adds scoped CSS rules under `body.single-launchmind_post` that consume that
      variable on the article title (matching the common WordPress h1 classes: `.
      entry-title`, `.wp-block-post-title`, `.post-title`, `.article-title`, plus
      generic `.entry-header h1` / `article > header h1`) and on `scroll-padding-
      top` so jump-links also land below the topbar.
    - Default value of `--lm-sticky-offset` is `0px`. On installs _without_ a sticky
      topbar (the vast majority) the detector finds nothing, the variable stays 
      at zero, and these rules are no-ops — existing layouts are byte-for-byte unchanged.
    - The script is enqueued only on single Launchmind posts (`is_singular('launchmind_post')`)
      so non-article pages never load it. Loads in the footer so it sees every theme-
      injected sticky element. Re-runs on `load` and on `resize` to handle late-
      injected headers (Breakdance, Elementor Pro, Divi) and mobile/desktop viewport
      changes. Filters out cookie banners and chat widgets by ignoring fixed elements
      narrower than 50% of the viewport or taller than 250 px.
 * No PHP API, database, settings, shortcode or rendering-mode change. Drop-in upgrade
   for every existing 5.0.x install.

#### 5.0.0

 * Fixed: Blog listing card layout broke on themes that apply generic typographic
   rules to `<article>`, `<span>`, `<h3>` or `<img>` elements — visible as a grey
   band above the post image, the “·” separator dropping to its own line between
   date and author, and a large vertical gap between the card title and the meta
   row. The 4.11.x release line hardened the single-article body (`.lm-article-body`)
   against the same class of theme CSS bleed on Breakdance / Divi / Elementor / 
   custom block themes; 5.0 brings that same defensive baseline to the blog index
   cards rendered by `[launchmind_blog]` (and therefore the auto-created /blog page,
   since it runs the shortcode under the hood). Concretely:
    - `.launchmind-post-image img` now locks `width/height: 100%`, `object-fit: 
      cover`, `max-width: none` and a zero-margin display: block with !important,
      so theme rules like `img { height: auto }` can’t shrink the image and leak
      the placeholder gradient above it.
    - `.launchmind-post-meta` and its child spans (`.launchmind-post-date`, `.launchmind-
      post-author`) are pinned to `display: flex` / `inline-flex` with !important,
      so themes that blanket-set `span { display: block }` or inject `<br>` via 
      an aggressive content filter can’t break the single-line meta row. The “·”
      separator stays inline next to the author name on every theme.
    - Margins on the card’s direct children (title, meta, excerpt, read-more) are
      reset to zero with !important so theme rules like `.entry-content > * { margin:
      1.5em 0 }` can’t bloat the vertical rhythm inside the card.
    - `::before` / `::after` pseudo-element injection on card, image wrapper and
      date/author spans is disabled from theme styles (using `content: none !important`
      where we don’t render our own content), so theme decorations intended for 
      the main content flow don’t reach inside our cards.
 * Typography and colour inheritance is unchanged — the card still picks up the 
   site’s font family, body colour and accent colour. Only layout-critical properties
   are hardened.
 * No PHP, no database, no settings, no API contract changes. Drop-in upgrade for
   every existing 4.x install — existing shortcode attributes, merge mode, CPT rendering
   mode, sitemap, IndexNow and multilingual behaviour are untouched.

#### 4.11.5

 * Fixed: Styling regressions on sites running LiteSpeed Cache / WP Rocket / Autoptimize.
   The plugin’s stylesheet was being pulled into a combined, minified, cached bundle
   that kept serving stale rules to end-users for hours after a plugin upgrade —
   on several Breakdance sites users reported “no tables, huge images, no heading
   hierarchy” even when the plugin was fully up to date. Two fixes land in 4.11.5:
    - `launchmind-blog.css` now ships with `data-no-optimize`, `data-no-minify`,`
      data-no-combine` attributes so LiteSpeed / WP Rocket / Autoptimize skip it
      and load it as a standalone `<link>`. Plugin upgrades are now reflected on
      the page the moment you refresh, no cache purge ritual required.
    - Added ~2 KB of critical inline CSS on Launchmind article pages covering the
      rules users notice if missing: table borders/padding, image max-width, heading
      sizes, article-body top padding for Breakdance-style floating brand logos.
      This loads inside the HTML itself, so even if the external stylesheet is stripped
      by an aggressive optimizer, tables and images still render correctly.

#### 4.11.4

 * Fixed: Tables broke on iOS Safari in CPT mode. 4.11.3 forced the

<

table> element to display:block + overflow-x:auto so wide tables wouldn’t push the
page sideways, but iOS Safari drops the row/cell layout when a table is block-level—
users saw either a vertical list of cells or an unstyled block. The table now stays
a real

<

table> and gets wrapped in a `<div class="lm-table-wrapper">` (injected server-side
by Launchmind_Virtual_Filters) that carries the horizontal scroll instead. The wrapper
even shows a subtle “content scrolls” shadow on narrow viewports so users know there’s
more off-screen.
 * Fixed: Article headings fought with Breakdance’s `.breakdance
h2` rules. Both selectors have equal specificity (class + element), and the theme
CSS loads after ours in the combined LiteSpeed bundle, so Breakdance’s 36-48px mobile
H2 sizes won and the article’s heading hierarchy disappeared. All `.lm-article-body`
heading font-sizes and margins are now marked !important so Launchmind’s scale wins
inside the article wrapper. * Fixed: First heading of the article hidden behind 
La Casserole-style floating brand badges. Breakdance + custom site-logo layouts 
hang a circular logo down into the content column and the article’s first H2 rendered
behind it. Added 2rem default top padding on every `.lm-article-body`, 4rem on Breakdance
sites, 5.5rem on mobile Breakdance — now the first heading always renders clear 
of the badge.

#### 4.11.3

 * Improved: Table visual contrast. The 4.11.x table CSS used such faint borders(
   rgba(0,0,0,0.1)) and zebra striping (0.015 alpha) that on light paginas the styling
   looked like it hadn’t applied at all — borders were nearly invisible and alternating
   rows had no visible tint. Outer border is now 0.18 alpha, header bg 0.06, cell
   dividers 0.12, zebra 0.035, hover 0.06. Every visual property on the table/th/
   td rules is now marked !important so aggressive theme resets (Breakdance, block
   themes) can’t zero them out.
 * Fixed: Mobile layout overflow. Wide tables on narrow viewports could push the
   whole page sideways on Breakdance / page-builder templates because the table 
   itself wasn’t set as a scroll container. The .lm-article-body wrapper now has
   max-width:100% + word-wrap break, images/videos/iframes are constrained to 100%,
   and tables under 720px are forced to display:block + overflow-x:auto + max-width:
   100% with !important so the table scrolls horizontally on its own instead of 
   the page.
 * Improved: Compact table cell padding on mobile (10px 12px instead of 12px 16px)
   and 0.9rem font-size so 4-column data tables remain readable on 360-400px phones
   without being cut off.

#### 4.11.2

 * Improved: Mobile reading experience on CPT-rendered articles. The .lm-article-
   body wrapper now carries a typography baseline — 1.65 line-height, 17px body 
   type, a proper heading scale (H2 1.65rem desktop / 1.4rem mobile), looser list
   spacing, and more generous paragraph rhythm. Previously on narrow screens the
   content picked up whatever font-size and line-height the theme used for generic
   page copy, which on several themes (Breakdance, Divi) produced a dense uninterrupted
   block of text with no visual hierarchy between paragraphs, bullet lists and headings.
 * Improved: Inline links on mobile use a thinner underline with more offset so 
   the first sentence of an article (which is often wrapped in a single long anchor
   because of citations) no longer visually dominates the opening paragraph.
 * Added: Blockquote styling — subtle left border and italic body, only applied 
   inside the Launchmind article wrapper so it never touches the theme’s own pull-
   quotes or shortcodes.

#### 4.11.1

 * Fix: table/hr/image styling was flaky in CPT mode on sites where the theme’s 
   single-post template doesn’t call body_class() — most visible on Breakdance where
   tables rendered as unstyled columns with no borders or padding. The CPT renderer
   now wraps the article content in a guaranteed `<div class="lm-article-body">`
   container, and all content CSS is keyed on that wrapper (plus the existing body-
   class and .lm-table fallbacks). The visual rules are marked !important on the
   critical properties so theme CSS resets can no longer strip the borders and padding
   from Launchmind tables.

#### 4.11.0

 * Changed: CPT rendering is now the default for new installs. The v4.10 beta flag
   is promoted to GA — on every fresh activation the plugin hands /blog/{slug}/ 
   requests to WordPress’ native template hierarchy, so your theme’s header, footer,
   sidebar and SEO plugin head tags render automatically (classic themes, Full-Site
   Editing, Breakdance, Elementor Pro, Divi). Existing users who explicitly saved“
   Legacy” in 4.10.x keep that setting and can flip manually under Settings  Launchmind
   Blog  Rendering Mode.
 * Fixed: Language propagation from the blog listing to individual articles. When
   a visitor viewed the English version of a multilingual site, clicking an article
   used to fall back to the site default locale (often Dutch) because the /blog/{
   slug}/ link carried no language hint. The shortcode now appends `?lang=xx` to
   each Launchmind post URL and also honours `?lang=xx` on the listing page itself,
   so the language the visitor sees in the listing carries through to the article
   they open.
 * Improved: The Settings  Rendering Mode description now reflects CPT as the recommended
   default and labels Legacy as a backwards-compatibility option only.

#### 4.10.2

 * Fix: table rendering in CPT mode. The table / hr / inline-image styling was scoped
   to .launchmind-single-wrapper, which only exists in legacy mode. In CPT mode 
   the theme renders the content directly via the_content() without the wrapper,
   so tables rendered borderless and columns ran into each other. CSS is now dual-
   scoped: legacy wrapper AND body.single-launchmind_article + .lm-table class, 
   so styling applies in both modes.
 * Improved: tables now have subtle zebra striping, a visible border and a header
   background for readability. Added a horizontal-scroll wrapper on screens below
   720px so wide tables don’t break narrow theme layouts.
 * Improved: H2/H3 spacing — more breathing room between headings and the paragraph
   above, plus scroll-margin-top so jump-links land below sticky site headers (Breakdance,
   Elementor Pro, etc.).

#### 4.10.1

 * Hotfix: og:type/og:url/og:image emit was tied to the legacy single-post renderer,
   so sites on the new CPT rendering mode (beta) didn’t get Launchmind-specific 
   Open Graph tags in the head. The emitter now hooks globally and self-guards on
   the active post data — works in both legacy and CPT modes.

#### 4.10.0

 * **New (opt-in beta): CPT rendering mode.** Launchmind articles are handed to 
   WordPress as a real custom post type (`launchmind_article`) on /blog/{slug}/ 
   requests, so your theme’s native template hierarchy (single-launchmind_article.
   php  single.php  singular.php  index.php) renders the page. Your theme header,
   footer, sidebar, and SEO-plugin head tags now render automatically — including
   on Full-Site Editing themes, Breakdance, Elementor Pro theme builder, Divi and
   other page-builder theme setups. Default is still ‘legacy’ (v4.x renderer) — 
   enable under Settings  Launchmind Blog  Rendering Mode.
 * The CPT is registered with public=false, show_ui=false and rewrite=false so it
   doesn’t clutter the WP admin or conflict with other rewrite rules. Existing /
   blog/{slug}/ URLs keep working unchanged.
 * Collision-safe: if another plugin has already registered `launchmind_article`,
   the refactor silently falls back to the legacy renderer.
 * Rollback escape hatch: `define('LAUNCHMIND_BLOG_RENDERING_MODE', 'legacy');` 
   in wp-config.php forces the legacy mode regardless of the Settings toggle.
