v1.6.10

= 1.6.10 =

• Fixed: updating two of these extensions one after the other could fail on the second with "up to date" until Check for updates was pressed again. WordPress rebuilds its update list after each update by asking wordpress.org first, and gives up on the whole list when that call is slow; the plugin now keeps its own update in the list regardless.
• Changed: a release found more than an hour ago is refreshed in the background whenever the Plugins screen is opened, so the newest release is offered rather than an intermediate one.
• New: a Check for updates bulk action on the Plugins screen, which checks every selected extension in one go, and the row that says Updating no longer shrinks on phones.

v1.6.8

1.6.8

• This plugin is superseded by Account Menu Enhancer for HivePress, which includes everything it does. A notice on the admin screens explains how to move across, and can be dismissed for good if you would rather stay. Nothing about how this plugin works has changed, and existing installs keep working.
• Fixed - the update check pointed at the old capitalised address for this plugin's repository. Updates still arrived, because the address forwards, but it is now correct.

v1.6.7

• Fixed - deleting the plugin now also clears the update check's own leftovers and cancels its background update check. Nothing else has changed in this release.

v1.6.6

This release also carries 1.6.5, which was never published here.

Fixed

• Hiding an item from the account menu no longer empties the page behind it. If you use another plugin to take an item off the menu, this one read that missing item as an empty page, so the page itself showed the "nothing here yet" notice with its real contents wiped out, even for a member with listings, bookings or messages sitting there. Whether a page is empty is now judged only on what the extensions themselves put in the menu, and your own choices about which items to show are left out of it.
• The changelog in the "View details" popup no longer loses the wording of a link. A link whose wording contained a piece of code arrived with that wording replaced by a stray number, and if the formatting ran into trouble a whole line could come through as bare numbers in place of its links and code. Release notes are now put back together in full, and anything that still cannot be restored is removed rather than shown.
• Updates are offered again. On 1.6.4 a published release was never shown on the Plugins screen, "View details" opened an error, and the notice after pressing "Check for updates" named no version.

Important if you are already on 1.6.4

1.6.4's broken update check is the very fault 1.6.5 fixed, so 1.6.4 cannot fetch this update from your dashboard. Download the zip below and upload it once under Plugins, Add New Plugin, Upload Plugin. After that one upload, updating behaves normally again. On any other version, update from your dashboard as usual.

v1.6.4

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, once, before behaving normally again for hours. 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. The details popup, its changelog and the donate link inside it were all unreachable from the Plugins screen as a result.

v1.6.3

Fixed

• Checking for updates no longer reports "Could not reach GitHub" when nothing is wrong. GitHub allows one server only a limited number of anonymous update checks each hour, and that allowance is shared by every plugin on your site and, on shared hosting, by every other site on the same server. Running out of it is ordinary, but it was reported as though your site could not reach GitHub at all. Update checks now read the release from github.com, which sets no such limit, so the message no longer appears. If the limit is ever reached by another route, the notice now says so plainly instead of blaming your connection.
• A failed update check no longer hides an update that is genuinely waiting. The last successful answer is kept until a later check succeeds, so a pending update stays on the Plugins screen instead of vanishing for an hour.

Nothing else changes, and nothing on your site was ever at risk: a failed check only meant WordPress was not offered the update.

v1.6.2

Fixed

• The author shown on the Plugins screen now reads "ChrisB @ HivePress Community" and links to the right profile page, matching every other extension in the range.
• The star icon on the "Donate" link no longer sits flush against the word.

Changed

• The thank-you line under the settings form has been removed. The "Donate" link on the Plugins screen and in the plugin details popup is the only place the ask appears now, so it never interrupts you while you are configuring the plugin.

v1.6.1

What's new

• Deleting the plugin now keeps your settings. Destruction is opt-in: tick Delete All Data in the new Removing the Plugin section first. WordPress shows its own warning on the delete screen saying data goes too; that warning does not apply here unless you tick the box.
• Menu items added later are switched on automatically. Activate a new HivePress extension and its account page is kept visible straight away, instead of silently staying hidden because it did not exist when you saved.
• A note when a page has been customised. If you have designed one of these pages under HivePress, Templates, the settings screen now says so, because your layout is shown instead of the empty-state notice.

Fixes

• The empty-state notice never appeared on the vendor Calendar page.
• Update checks no longer send your site address and WordPress version to GitHub.
• Check for updates now says plainly when no release has been published yet, instead of reporting it as a connection error.
• The changelog in the plugin details popup showed raw formatting marks instead of bold text and bullets.
• The "HivePress is missing" notice can now be dismissed.

Notes

Full details are in the readme. Translations belong in Loco Translate's System location so they survive updates.

v1.5.1

Changes since 1.5.0:

New

• A Settings link in the plugin's row on the Plugins screen now takes you straight to the Default Menu Items tab under HivePress → Settings. The link only appears while HivePress is active.

v1.5.0

Changes since 1.4.0:

New

• Customizable empty-page buttons: the Default Menu Items settings tab now has Button Label and Button URL fields for each placeholder page. Override the label, point the button at any URL (full URL or a relative path like /listings), or add a button to pages that have none by default (Received Orders, Payouts) by setting both fields. Blank fields keep the defaults, and the default label is shown as the field placeholder.
• All new settings texts are translatable, and the bundled translation template has been updated.
