Post Poster 1.0.1

First tagged release. Clears out debug code that was shipping to production and fixes a
PHP 8 warning.

📥 Install

Download post-poster.zip below, then Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin in
WordPress. The archive unpacks to post-poster/, so it also drops straight into
wp-content/plugins/ over SFTP.

Upgrading from 1.0.0 is a straight replace — settings and cached queries are unaffected.

🐛 Fixes

• Debug logging on every Load More request. The AJAX handler called error_log()
  unconditionally, filling the site's PHP error log on any page using
  pagination="load_more". The diagnostic is still there for developers, but now only runs
  when WP_DEBUG is enabled.
• Nine console.log calls in shipped JavaScript. admin.js logged form state and
  shortcode assembly; frontend.js logged every Load More response — visible in every
  visitor's browser console. Removed.
• A leftover debug CSS class. Every grid carried pp-debug-theme-* alongside the real
  pp-theme-* class. Removed.
• PHP 8 warning. enqueue_frontend_assets() read get_post()->post_content, which
  raises "Attempt to read property on null" wherever there is no queried post — 404 pages
  and some archive views. The ?? did not guard against that. Now checks the object first,
  written for PHP 7.4 since that is the declared minimum.
• Licence mismatch. The plugin header declared GPL v2 or later while the bundled
  LICENSE is GPL-3.0. The header now matches.

No behaviour changes beyond these: the shortcode, block, admin generator, templates and
caching all work exactly as before.

🔧 Repository

• Lint CI on every push — PHP 7.4 and 8.3, plus node --check on the JavaScript.
• A debug-leftover check that fails the build if console.log or an ungated error_log
  ever reaches shipped code again. It lives at
  .github/scripts/check-debug-leftovers.py
  so you can run it locally too.
• Added CONTRIBUTING.md,
  SECURITY.md,
  .gitignore and Dependabot config.
• The README now documents the full attribute set, including show_date, show_author,
  show_categories, theme, and pagination="load_more".

⚠️ Worth knowing

The transient cache is not invalidated when a post is published or edited — a grid can
serve stale results until it expires. Deactivating the plugin clears every cached query, and
there is a save_post snippet in
examples/usage-examples.php
to wire it up yourself. Building it in properly is the top item in CONTRIBUTING.
