* Improvement: Fix with AI corrects scheme typos like htp://google.com by suggesting the https:// form. Malformed and relative URLs no longer fail with a generic error.
* Fix: Email notifications could not be enabled. Paid plans can now turn on email alerts and enter recipient addresses.
* Fix: The Automatic scans card showed Enable with Pro on paid plans, linking to a page paid plans cannot open. It now shows the schedule and links to Settings.
* Fix: Fix with AI failed on relative link URLs like /old-page. They are now sent in full form. Malformed URLs get a clear message, and Fix all with AI skips them instead of failing the whole batch.
* Improvement: Settings page redesign. Account bar with Manage, Refresh and Disconnect actions, automatic saving, content types as selectable pills, toggles for every on/off option.

= 3.0.2 - 12 August 2026 =
* Fix: The plan buttons on the Upgrade page stopped at an "Unknown plan." message instead of opening the checkout. Upgrading works again - sorry about that one.
* New: The Upgrade page now has an "Already purchased a plan? Connect this site" link, so activating Pro on additional sites no longer goes through checkout.
* New: Pro Tools page previewing what is coming to your plan: Fix with AI, Internal Link Optimizer, SEO / AEO Audit, Rank Tracker, Uptime Monitor and White Label - each shown with clearly-labeled sample data.
* Improvement: Paid plans no longer see Upgrade buttons anywhere in the plugin - the sidebar and admin menu show them only on the free plan.
* Fix: Links with an anchor, like /a-page/#section, are now checked exactly the way a browser opens them, so working links are no longer reported as broken on some hosting setups. Anchor links that just scroll the homepage are skipped.
* Fix: On sites installed in a subdirectory, links written as an absolute path (like /blog/a-page/) were checked against a doubled address and could be wrongly reported as broken.
