Tool Kits 2.7.17

Tool Kits 2.7.17 adds Global SEO Content with live links to existing theme settings.

The new SEO tab shows homepage title, default description, author, publisher, global keywords, social image and service details. Supported Theme Settings and Customizer values are displayed as linked, read-only fields with source links. They are read dynamically and are not copied into Tool Kits storage. Fields not supplied by the theme can be entered as Tool Kits defaults.

Optional global metadata fallbacks fill only missing tags after the page renders, preserving existing theme metadata and JSON-LD. Page-specific excerpts, authors and featured images take priority. Homepage title formatting stays with themes that manage SEO; third-party SEO plugins keep ownership of metadata output. Global service details are reused by Tool Kits GEO.

Validation: 41/41 standalone regression cases passed; 69 PHP files syntax checked; release metadata and ZIP validated. Local desktop/mobile browser checks verified clickable tabs, linked read-only fields omitted from form submissions, editable missing fields, and no horizontal overflow.

After updating, open Tool Kits > SEO > Global SEO Content. Linked values are edited at their source. To use Tool Kits defaults as missing-tag fallbacks, enable SEO Toolkit and Enable global metadata fallbacks.
