v1.9.0

Gallery pages you can lay out, sidebars on every gallery page, and paid access that can be sold folder by folder.

Added

• Gallery and folder pages can now have a sidebar of their own, on either side, each with its own widget area under Appearance, then Widgets. Both are off until you switch them on.
• A folder grid you control. Choose how many columns of folder covers a full-width screen shows, whether covers are cropped horizontal, vertical or square, and how many rows to show where a gallery is embedded in a vendor profile or a listing, with a link to the full gallery for the rest. Narrow screens always show fewer columns, so a phone is never asked to draw six.
• An option for what one paid unlock buys. It can be the vendor's whole gallery, as before, or each folder separately, so a vendor can price individual folders and a buyer pays only for the one they want. Prices set under one choice are kept if you switch to the other and back, and nobody loses access they have already paid for.
• A Gallery Settings link in the top right of a gallery page, and a Folder Settings link on a folder page, shown to the vendor who owns it and to the site owner. Visitors see nothing.
• Vendors and site owners now see private folders on the public gallery page, marked Private, with a note saying visitors do not see them. Everybody else sees exactly what they saw before.

Changed

• The View Gallery button now sits inside HivePress's own actions box on vendor profiles and listings, beside Send Message, instead of floating below it with a gap of its own.
• Gallery folders moved in wp-admin from under HivePress to Vendors, where they belong.
• The folder edit screen has one owner control instead of two. WordPress's Author box is gone, the Vendor field is no longer marked optional, and the post author follows the vendor on save. Any folder whose author and vendor already disagreed is put right on upgrade.
• The folder edit screen's Settings box is now called Gallery Settings.
• The sidebar and locked folder settings are radio buttons, so the empty "-" choice that read as an extra option is gone.
• Layout, lightbox and sidebar settings moved out of General into a new Gallery Pages section. No option name or stored value changes.
• Names and avatars on photo comments now link to that person's profile, where the site publishes one.
• The Manage Photo description box no longer mentions alt text in its placeholder.

Fixed

• Every Members only badge now carries a padlock. Folder covers and the vendor's own folder list showed the words alone while the folder page and the single page layout showed a padlock, so the same state looked like two different states on one site.
• The New Folder, Paid Access and Delete Folder headings now use HivePress's own section heading, so they get the accent rule above them that every other heading on the page has.

Upgrading is safe: no setting is renamed or reset, and no purchased access is affected.
