WordPress Social Sharing Optimization (WPSSO) version 3.3 has been released — The latest version of this Social SEO plugin includes several new features, and extensive code changes to support WordPress taxonomies (categories and tags). The custom Social Settings metabox is now available on all built-in and custom taxonomy editing pages (WooCommerce product categories, for example).
WPSSO’s Social Settings metabox enables an author to define a custom title and descriptions for Facebook / Open Graph, Pinterest, Twitter, Google+, and Google Search — along with an optional, customized image and video for Facebook / Open Graph and Pinterest.
The Social Settings metabox includes several useful tabs in both the Free and Pro versions — the Social Preview tab allows you to preview what a typical share might look like, the Head Tags tab shows all generated meta tags, and the Validate tab provides several links to popular validation tools and services (Facebook debugger, Twitter Card validator, etc.).
Developers will also find many new filters have been added to this version, allowing you to hook individual meta tags values in the webpage header.

- WPSSO App Meta (WPSSO AM) version 1.3.2
- WPSSO Place and Location Meta (WPSSO PLM) version 1.3.2
- WPSSO Social Sharing Buttons (WPSSO SSB) version 1.5.3
