What's new in v0.24.0 — Settings page rebrand

Extend whitelabel reach to the connector's own Settings page. v0.21.0–v0.23.0 covered the plugins list, plugin row meta, and login + adminbar surfaces — but Settings → DeckWP Connect in the wp-admin sidebar, the page <h1>, and every "This site is paired with DeckWP" body string still leaked the upstream brand.

The customer's wp-admin sidebar was leaking DeckWP even with a fully configured rebrand.

What gets rebranded now

  • Settings submenu label (sidebar)
  • Browser tab title
  • Settings page <h1>
  • "This site is paired with <brand>" (paired state)
  • "Disconnect this site from <brand>?" (confirm dialog)
  • "<brand> revoked this connection." (revoke banner)
  • "Disconnected from <brand>." (post-disconnect success)
  • "Pair this WordPress site with your <brand> dashboard…" (unpaired state)
  • "Leave the default unless you are using a staging or self-hosted <brand> install." (Dashboard URL hint)
  • "You do not have permission to manage <brand>." (permission error)

How it works

No new toggle. The operator's existing Plugin Name field on the dashboard /sites/{site}/whitelabel page IS the rebrand source. The connector now reads the same plugins[<basename>].name value Whitelabel\Branding already uses for the plugins-list filter, and applies it to the Settings page render too.

Falls back to "DeckWP Connect" when no rebrand is configured. Strings remain translatable — each uses a sprintf template with a /* translators */ comment.

Known limitations (not yet rebranded)

  • WP-Cron schedule display names ('DeckWP Connect heartbeat', 'DeckWP Connect scan') in Heartbeat\Scheduler and Scan\Scheduler still hardcode the upstream brand. These are only visible to users with WP-Cron debug plugins (WP Crontrol etc.) — low-visibility leak, deferred until someone asks.

Wire contract

No change. Render-only update reading the existing option shape from v0.21.0.

Upgrading: drop in deckwp-connect.zip or self-update via the DeckWP dashboard. No DB migration. Existing whitelabel configs work unchanged — the new rebrand applies automatically once a Plugin Name is set in the dashboard's whitelabel form.
