Two audits were answering from the wrong place.

Schema audit read per-post meta and called the rest missing. Rank Math applies a default per post type, and a post carries that schema with no meta of its own — so a site that leaves the default alone read as 0% covered while every page in fact emitted its schema. On one site: 57,417 reported missing against three that were. The default is now the baseline, and the setting behind the number is reported alongside it.

GEO check treated every AI crawler as one kind, so a site that blocks model training while leaving the answer engines open was told it "cannot be cited" by seven of them. Blocking a training crawler is a licensing choice and changes nothing about citation — Google states Google-Extended affects neither Search inclusion nor ranking. Only an answer crawler being turned away is an issue now.

Troubleshoot warns when a public HTTPS site reports itself as local, which almost always means WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE was never defined — and three checks on that same screen quietly relax themselves when it reads local.

Fixed: the attribution link in the plugin bar turned admin-blue on hover.

Docs: reaching the site from a phone through Remote Control, and what to do about claude.ai custom connectors, which currently complete the OAuth flow and then never send the token.
