SocialBee retires category sequencing and Next Posts in its first product change in months.
After a summer of fixes for Threads, Pinterest and TikTok posting failures, SocialBee announced a scheduling overhaul rolling out over the coming weeks. Category Sequence and Random categories are being replaced by active categories, and the Next Posts view is being folded into Calendar and List views. A bug blocking deletion from the Content Categories page was fixed the same day.
Schema Pro settles into polish releases after its 2.12 coverage expansion.
Since 2.12.0 added dataset, profile, forum and Q&A schema types in August, Schema Pro has shipped three cleanup releases. 2.12.3 tidies the setup wizard and the editor meta box, 2.12.2 corrected title and author output, and 2.12.1 prepared FAQ and How-to blocks for upcoming WordPress editor changes.

Category Sequence and Random categories are being replaced by active categories, and the Next Posts view is being folded into Calendar and List views. A bug blocking deletion from the Content Categories page was fixed the same day.
SocialBee is simplifying its category-based scheduling model rather than adding to it, consolidating views and removing modes. The promised biweekly, monthly and yearly recurrence suggests scheduling moves toward calendar-style rules instead of category queues.
Expect the recurring-schedule options announced for later this quarter to ship next; the entries don't show anything beyond scheduling.
Since 2.12.0 added dataset, profile, forum and Q&A schema types in August, Schema Pro has shipped three cleanup releases. 2.12.3 tidies the setup wizard and the editor meta box, 2.12.2 corrected title and author output, and 2.12.1 prepared FAQ and How-to blocks for upcoming WordPress editor changes.
The product follows a long cycle: one feature release that widens rich-result coverage, then months of output-accuracy and WordPress-compatibility fixes. Recent work also keeps returning to the first-run setup wizard, which suggests onboarding is a known pain point.
Expect more point releases until the next minor version. Based on the 2.11 to 2.12 gap of about five months, 2.13 with new schema types is unlikely before early 2027.
