Version 2.5.1 strip content from or remove meta tags in header

    After updating to 2.5.1 the content of several meta tags on a site I’m supporting is stripped or removed. Disabling the plugin and/or reverting to the previous version makes no difference, I need to restore a DB version from before the update to get the tags and back.

    The following tags are stripped from its content in the tags so that only the tag name is left (head, title):

    <head itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/WebSite">
<title>Name of the website - The name</title>

    The following (and quite a few more) tags are removed completely:

    <meta name="description" content="The content " />
<link rel="canonical" href="https://staging.example.com/" />
<link rel='stylesheet' id='wellness-front-styles-css'  href='https://staging.example.com/wp-content/themes/themename/style-front.css?ver=6.0.2' type='text/css' media='all' />

    This of course breaks the site in various ways.

    If I deactivate the plugin before I update the site this does not happen, but as soon as the plugin has been active after the update this is permanent (unless previous DB is restored).

  • Hi @webbverkstaden,

    Thanks for choosing WP Maintenance Mode!

    Could you please make a backup of your site and check for plugin conflicts by disabling the rest of the plugins, except WP Maintenance Mode? No other user reported such an issue so it may occur on your end due to some conflict or configuration of your environment. Also, try to update to the latest version of the plugin and check if it helps.

    Have a nice day!
