@github-actions github-actions released this 21 Aug 15:23

Nineteen new notifications, covering six companion extensions that had no way of telling anybody anything, and a badge for the Action Bar.

New

  • Additional Gallery notifications. Somebody liking or commenting on one of your photos, replying to your comment, liking your comment, buying access to your gallery, and their access ending. Bursts of likes and comments about the same photo roll into one notification that reads "Alice and 12 others liked your photo" rather than arriving as twelve separate pop-ups.
  • The gallery that vanishes. When the photo review hides one of your galleries you are now told, instead of finding out by noticing it has gone.
  • Listing Moderation notifications. A vendor whose listing is held for review is now told it is waiting to be checked, which nothing anywhere said before. The site owner gets their own copy carrying the risk score and what was actually found, linked to the listing in the dashboard, so the pending queue can be triaged rather than read.
  • Holiday Mode notifications. Confirmation when holiday mode goes on and off, with how many listings went with it, and a warning about any that stayed hidden because their listing period ran out while you were away. That last one was completely invisible: vendors came back from holiday quietly short of listings.
  • Verified. Vendors are told when you verify them. Nothing said so before.
  • The monthly analytics summary now has wording written for a notification list rather than falling back to the email subject.
  • "Unread notifications" as an Action Bar badge. Requires Action Bar 1.4.0. The bar's existing "All notifications" counter has never counted these: it is HivePress's own combined counter, now labelled "Account activity" so the two are told apart. With the badge you can put the bell on the bar, and it updates as notifications arrive rather than waiting for the next page load.
  • For Site Owners, Gallery and Performance groups on the settings screen, so notifications meant for you are not mixed in with the ones meant for your members.

Every one of these can be reworded and switched off exactly like the existing notifications, and each person still chooses how they receive it.

Fixed

  • Checking for updates no longer holds up an admin page. The check ran while WordPress was building the Plugins screen, so on a site with several of these extensions one page load made one request to GitHub after another and could sit there for many seconds. The check now runs in the background moments later. Pressing Check for updates still asks GitHub straight away, because you are waiting for that answer.
  • "View details" is back on the Plugins screen. WordPress only offers that link for a plugin that has told it about itself, and this one stayed quiet whenever there was nothing to update to, which is almost always.
  • Sending a web push no longer holds up the page that caused it. Pushes now go out a moment later in the background.
  • A browser that has dropped its subscription is now forgotten, rather than being retried on every notification from then on.

Requires Additional Gallery 1.8.2, Automated Listing Moderation 1.6.9, Holiday Mode 1.7.4 or Action Bar 1.4.0 for the parts that concern them. Older versions are ignored rather than broken.
