1.32.0 — Faster first paint

Sites on 1.7.0+ will see this on their Plugins screen (or get it automatically with auto-updates on).

1.32.0 — Faster first paint

• The whole first row of the grid loads first. Every picture tile in the top row now gets fetchpriority="high", not just the first one. The tiles are all the same size, so the page's largest paint is whichever of them shows first.
• Scripts are deferred. The plugin's front-end scripts (app, stories, composer) now load with defer, so they're out of the critical request chain. On WordPress before 6.3 they stay in the footer as before.

1.31.0 — Deferred videos

Sites on 1.7.0+ will see this on their Plugins screen (or get it automatically with auto-updates on).

1.31.0 — Deferred videos

• No video downloads on page load. Videos in home feed cards and on post pages used to fetch data as soon as the page opened. Now they wait.
• With a poster, the poster shows and the video loads only when it's played.
• Without a poster, a single frame loads once the video scrolls near the screen, as grid tiles already did.

1.30.0 — No render-blocking stylesheet

Sites on 1.7.0+ will see this on their Plugins screen (or get it automatically with auto-updates on).

1.30.0 — No render-blocking stylesheet

• The stylesheet is inlined. On instopress pages, the plugin's stylesheet is now printed directly in the page's <head> instead of loaded as a separate file, so nothing holds up the first paint.
• No flash of an unstyled page. The stylesheet styles the whole page on these views, so deferring it would show the page unstyled for a moment. Inlining avoids that, and pages look exactly as before.
• About 7 KB more per page after compression; the separate request is gone.
• Prefer a linked file (e.g. for a strict Content-Security-Policy)? Return false from the iar_inline_styles filter.

1.29.0 — Smaller downloads

Sites on 1.7.0+ will see this on their Plugins screen (or get it automatically with auto-updates on).

1.29.0 — Smaller downloads

• Release builds now include minified CSS and JavaScript (style.min.css, app.min.js, …), roughly 40% smaller before compression. The plugin serves them automatically. For example, app.js goes from 31 KB to 18 KB and style.css from 36 KB to 28 KB.
• Readable files when you need them: with SCRIPT_DEBUG on, or when running the plugin straight from source without a build, the original files are used.
• Both the Pro and WordPress.org zips include the minified files.

1.28.0 — Faster

Sites on 1.7.0+ will see this on their Plugins screen (or get it automatically with auto-updates on).

1.28.0 — Faster

Faster profile grid on phones

• The first picture loads first. The first tile that actually shows a picture gets top priority; text posts and videos without a poster are skipped, since they have no image to fetch.
• The first three rows load straight away; the rest still load as you scroll.
• Phones download small copies. Tiles now carry srcset/sizes.
• A new 480px "tile" image size fills the gap between 300px and 768px. New uploads get it automatically. Existing pictures are filled in a few at a time in the background, or all at once with wp instopress-social tiles.

Faster pages on the server (profiled with php-spx)

• Batched media loading: the home feed and RSS feed load their posts' media in a few database queries instead of one per image.
• Less repeated work: each post's media is worked out once per page, grid tiles build only their first slide, the feeds skip an image size they never use, and photo/video checks read the attachment's type directly.
• On a test site: the home feed and RSS feed render about 30% faster, and the plugin's own share of that work dropped by more than half. Pages are byte-for-byte the same.

1.27.0 — New name: instopress-social

Sites on 1.7.0+ will see this on their Plugins screen (or get it automatically with auto-updates on). Update to 1.26.1 or later first, then to this release.

1.27.0 — New name: instopress-social

The plugin is now instopress-social (instopress-social Pro here on GitHub), and the repository has moved to IslayAnderson/instopress-social.

• Everything now uses the new name: the plugin, its folder, the post types, the feed (urn:instopress-social:1), the settings page, the WP-CLI command (wp instopress-social, short wp insto) and the zips.
• The update moves itself. From 1.26.1 or later, the plugin moves to its new instopress-social/ folder and stays active and auto-updating.
• Your content carries over. Posts, stories, likes, comments, settings and follows are kept; existing posts and stories move to the new post types automatically.
• Old addresses keep working. The old feed and settings-page addresses redirect, theme overrides in the old folder are still used, and feeds from sites that haven't updated yet are still read.
• Wording changes: imported likes and comment counts are now labelled "imported", and descriptions no longer use other services' brand names.

1.26.2 — Bridge fix for the new name

Sites on 1.7.0+ will see this on their Plugins screen (or get it automatically with auto-updates on).

1.26.2 — Bridge fix for the new name

• When the renamed plugin (instopress-social, coming in 1.27.0) installs, it now stays switched on however the update is run: from the Plugins screen, the Updates screen, automatically, or with WP-CLI. Before, an update started from a single "Update now" link could leave it deactivated.
• Please update to this version before 1.27.0.

1.26.1 — Getting ready for the new name

Sites on 1.7.0+ will see this on their Plugins screen (or get it automatically with auto-updates on).

1.26.1 — Getting ready for the new name

The plugin is about to be renamed instopress-social. This release prepares for that, so the switch is automatic. Please update to it before 1.27.0.

• Updates keep working after the rename. Updates are also accepted from the renamed GitHub repository (IslayAnderson/instopress-social) and its new zip names.
• The new version moves itself. When the renamed version installs, it moves to its new instopress-social/ folder and stays active, network-active and auto-updating.
• Renamed sites stay followable. Feeds and Follow links from sites already on the new name are recognised.
• Usage statistics read their Google Analytics details from the new address on the author's site, with the old one as a fallback.

1.26.0 — Two editions: Pro and WordPress.org

Sites on 1.7.0+ will see this on their Plugins screen (or get it automatically with auto-updates on).

1.26.0 — Two editions: Pro and WordPress.org

instapress-social now comes as two plugins built from the same code.

	instapress-social Pro	instapress-social (WordPress.org edition)
Download	instapress-social-1.26.0.zip (this release)	instapress-social-wporg-1.26.0.zip (this release; for WordPress.org)
Bot protection (Turnstile / reCAPTCHA)	✓	—
Updates	itself, from GitHub Releases	WordPress.org
Usage statistics	on by default	opt-in (off until you switch them on)
Everything else	✓	✓

Already using instapress-social? You're on Pro. This update keeps your bot protection, settings and automatic updates exactly as they are. The plugin is now listed as instapress-social Pro on your Plugins screen.

Both zips install as instapress-social/, so use one or the other, not both.

The readme now has an External services section listing everything the plugin talks to, with links to each service's terms and privacy policy.

1.25.2 — Plugin Check clean-up

Sites on 1.7.0+ will see this on their Plugins screen (or get it automatically with auto-updates on).

1.25.2 — Plugin Check clean-up

No new features. This tidies the code against WordPress's Plugin Check.

• Translations: every translatable string with placeholders now has a translators: comment explaining them.
• Escaping: the RSS feed escapes its output with esc_xml() directly.
• Files: import jobs, the download package and imported media dates use WordPress's filesystem API instead of PHP's unlink, rmdir, rename, touch and move_uploaded_file.
• Input: request values are sanitised where they're read, and templates/parts/sprite.php blocks direct access.
• ACF: the media gallery is validated from the files themselves, without borrowing ACF's text domain.
• Readme: adds the "Tested up to" header.
• Hidden files: release zips and the "Get instapress-social" download no longer include hidden files. An IDE settings folder had slipped into earlier zips.

The remaining Plugin Check errors only apply to plugins hosted on WordPress.org: the GitHub updater (Update URI), and loading Turnstile and reCAPTCHA from Cloudflare and Google.
