What's going wrong

Site owners report that new releases of this SEO plugin often leave their sites broken: pages go offline with server errors, editors fail after an update, slider images disappear, and core features such as categories and tags are changed. Some have to restore backups or disable the plugin through FTP to recover. Others say the release cadence is so frequent that fixes arrive on top of fixes. The people affected range from small blog owners to agencies with client sites. They want a way to update without fear, with safe testing and rollback.
