Compatibility Notes

• Please note that you need to re-install the new WordPress integration plugin if you want to publish content straight to your website. Download the latest WordPress plugin here.
• All accounts are compatible with the new version, but please note that the new version (app.kwhero.com) will have your account data set to a blank state - this was necessary in order to be able to do a lot of feature enhancements.
• Your old data is still safe at v1.kwhero.com and the old version is still usable - you can still login there with the same old credentials. Do note that if you change your password on either the old or the new version, this will not be reflected on both versions, only the version you did the password reset on.

Team & Community Updates

• Craig Campbell joins KWHero to produce tutorials and contribute SEO expertise.
• New Head of Communications to run the KWHero YouTube channel with tutorials, research, and podcasts.
• We now have three fulltime developers.
