Plugin / Create by Mediavine

Changelog

1.5.0

Jump To Card
We heard you! The primary addition of the 1.5 Create release is the addition of Jump To Card links within posts. In order to make this feature great, we worked to optimize placement of Mediavine ads within cards when users click the jump button. We understand the value of great reader experiences, so we made sure to mitigate potential issues with ad viewability for publishers who enable this feature. (If you’re not a Mediavine publisher, you have nothing to worry about here!)

• To enable this setting, register your plugin if you haven’t already. Then, go to “Pro” settings. Click the Jump To Card checkbox. That’s it!
• Links will automatically be added to the top of posts – no need to add them manually!
• Links can be disabled on a post-by-post basis with the “Disable Jump To Recipe” control in the Create sidebar. Note that this feature requires Gutenberg – refer to our Gutenberg help guide if you need to install Gutenberg].
• Buttons can be one of three styles – a link, or a solid or hollow button. Buttons can either use gray or – if you’ve enabled custom colors for your cards – your primary color. Both of these settings can be adjusted from the “Pro” tab.

Other Changes
Additionally, we have some other features and improvements.

• New color picker: We’ve replaced the primary and secondary color selection tools with a text field that allows hex input, as well as some nice defaults.
• Video schema improvements: Videos added to Create cards will now include video data as part of the Recipe or How-To schema instead of adding standalone Video schema, preventing duplicate schema issues. Schema is nice, but just to a limit!
• Rating display: We fixed a bug that caused some sites to display inaccurate ratings within cards.
• Ad display improvements: We fixed a bug that would cause Mediavine ads to always render after cards at the very end of posts, regardless of whether or not they should.
• Performance enhancements: We’ve sped up the way cards render on a page, helping to increase page load performance.
