Fixes duplicate <meta name="description"> tags on thread pages when meta description auto-fix is enabled. Reported by @briansol.
Bug Fix
- Thread pages no longer produce two meta description tags. The addon now replaces XF's default tag instead of adding a second one alongside it. SEO tools (ahrefs, etc.) will no longer flag duplicate meta descriptions.
- Sitemap XML false positive on large sitemaps - the scanner used streamed reads capped at 512KB, which truncated large sitemaps mid-tag and caused false "invalid XML" errors. Now reads the full response body (capped at 10MB for safety). Tested against a 2.1MB sitemap with 14,743 URLs.

v1.3.0 enriches thread structured data by extending XF core's output instead of injecting duplicates, adds drill-down navigation for large reports, and fixes several issues reported by users.
- Thread JSON-LD enrichment - extends XF core's native DiscussionForumPosting via class extension to add commentCount, isPartOf (DiscussionForum with forum name and URL), and author fallback for deleted/banned users. No more duplicate structured data blocks on thread pages.
- Clickable issue counts - every count in the report view is now a link. Click severity counts, category counts, issue summary totals, or per-forum breakdown numbers to drill down to a filtered view instantly.
- Impact sort - sort the full issue list by impact score (page views × severity weight). New "View all issues sorted by impact" link below the top-10 ranking.
- Per-page selector - choose 50, 100, 200, or 500 issues per page in the report view. Useful for forums with large scan results.
- Scanner enrichment detection - three new info-level issue types flag when the enrichment option is disabled: missing commentCount, missing isPartOf, and missing author fallback.
- Enrich thread JSON-LD (on/off, default on) - toggle under SEO Audit > Auto-Fix. Adds the three enrichment properties to XF core's thread structured data output.
- False positive BBCode detection - plain-text brackets like [EDIT], [UPDATE], [SOLVED], and date stamps like [2024-01-15] no longer trigger "BBCode pollution" or "BBCode in meta description" issues. Detection now only matches the 35 actual XenForo BBCode tags. Fixed in both the scanner and the runtime meta description fixer.
- "How to fix" toggle - clicking the link on report issues now correctly reveals the recommendation text. Previously appeared to do nothing due to a CSS/JS interaction bug.
- URL extraction - plain URLs with quoted query parameters are no longer truncated. IMG tag extraction handles alt text containing brackets.
Upload the ZIP via Admin CP > Add-ons > Install/upgrade from archive. One upgrade step runs automatically to remove the "thread" sub-option from the JSON-LD injection type selector (thread JSON-LD is now handled by the class extension instead).
The new enrichment option defaults to on - your thread pages will immediately gain the extra structured data properties. All existing scan data, reports, and settings are preserved.
v1.1.0 adds webhook notifications, a CLI scanner, email alerts, impact ranking, and more.
New Features
- Webhook notifications - send scan results to Discord or Slack when a scan completes.
- CLI scanner - run scans from the command line with qubn-seoaudit:scan. Supports flags for delta mode, forum targeting, date ranges, email notifications, and more.
- Email notifications - receive an email when scans complete. Works with scheduled scans and CLI --email flag.
- Critical issue alerts - get emailed when new critical issue types appear.
- Score improvement hints - actionable suggestions showing which fixes will boost your SEO score the most.
- Impact-ranked issues - issues are now ranked by priority score (severity x frequency), so you fix what matters first.
- Per-forum breakdown - see how issues are distributed across your forums.
- BreadcrumbList JSON-LD - auto-injects BreadcrumbList structured data on all pages with breadcrumbs.
- ALL CAPS title case correction - auto-fix converts ALL CAPS thread titles to title case at render time.
- Auto-fix audit log - full log of every auto-fix injection with date, type, URL, and injected HTML. Includes debug logging toggle.
- AdminCP dashboard widget - your current SEO score and grade displayed on the main AdminCP page.
- Category trend chart - stacked bar chart showing config/schema/meta/content/links/HTML issue counts over time.
- Bulk dismiss and dismiss-by-type - dismiss multiple issues at once, with undo support.
Improvements

- Fixed issue config page crash when option value is already decoded as array by XF
