Last updated on December 15, 2020 by stephwells

  • Start adding caching to speed up all listings page and merge some css files.
  • Change sorting to dropdown to make it more compact.
  • Simplify and cleanup selecting a thumbnail image. Now the WP thumbnai is used instead of a custom meta.
  • When a field is set to validate as a number, sort the listings as a number too.
  • A bunch of new shortcodes for more modular options: businessdirectory-images, businessdirectory-socials, businessdirectory-buttons, businessdirectory-details, businessdirectory-section section=comments, businessdirectory-section section=contact_form
  • Replace delete listing button with a link.
  • Change ‘Manage Form Fields’ menu to ‘Form Fields’.
  • Move the uninstall page out of main nav and into settings pages.
  • Rename ‘Allow images in HTML’ option in field settings to make it more clear.
  • Break some content for single listings into separate templates for easier maintenance.
  • Pagination is now in a single template file.
  • Remove View button from all listings page and use standard links instead.
  • New hooks: ‘wpbdp_settings_subtab_[subtab name here]’, ‘wpbdp_allow_template_override’, ‘wpbdp_is_numeric_sort’, ‘wpbdp_before_excerpts’, ‘wpbdp_heading_type’ to switch h1 to h2, ‘wpbdp_get_page_ids’, ‘wpbdp_thumbnail_html’
  • Security: Properly escape uses of admin_url().
  • Fix: Compatibility issue with Astra was showing an empty h1 in the page source.
  • Fix: Compatibility with new WP 2021 theme, showing ‘Untitled’ for the heading.
  • Fix: Renewal reminders weren’t always being sent for listings that expire at the end of the month if they were set to send a month or two ahead.
  • Code: Can get a field by shortname instead of only id.
