4.4.6

• Fixed: The tags that can be used by Helpful, for example to show the positive votes (example: {pro}, {contra}), were applied to the whole content. This should be fixed now!

4.4.5

• Fixed: Another bug regarding unchecked IDs of posts. I will try to collect the bugs in the future and then run an update so you don't have to update all the time.

4.4.4

• Fixed: Helpful now checks if a Post-ID has been found before it continues working. This should fix problems with wp_insert_post().

4.4.3

• Fixed: Helpful should not overwrite existing options after an update. When using Helpful for the first time, it now also checks if there are already texts before overwriting anything. Unfortunately the old texts cannot be restored if Helpful has overwritten texts by one of the last updates. All future updates should not cause this problem anymore.

4.4.2

• Fixed: Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method Helpful\Core\Helpers\User::checkUser() in class-frontend.php:386

4.4.1

• Fixed: PHP Warning: Division by zero in .../class-stats.php

4.4.0

• Added: Added {feedback_toogle} to output a button that displays the feedback form when the button is clicked.
• Added: Feedback in the admin area now has a pagination to improve the loading time when there are too many entries. Also the number of entries can be adjusted in the Helpful settings.
• Fixed: Bugs in Javascript have been fixed. In addition, all strings were set with quotation marks to make the code less error-prone for checks with codacy.
• Fixed: Bugs in the CSS code were fixed. Also, missing semicolons were added to make it easier to minify with other plugins.
• Fixed: Bug if the database does not target results.
• Fixed: Cannot change cache limiter when session is active.
• Fixed: It is now better checked whether variables are set, so that no unsightly error messages are seen.
• Fixed: In the e-mails used for feedback, HTML is now always sent. It is important that you use the HTML paragraphs for paragraphs as well.
• Improved: The code has been completely restructured and namespaces are now used to reduce conflicts with other plugins.
• Improved: There are numerous new filters and actions, but they are not yet included in the documentation. I will make up for this at a later time.
• Improved: The admin notifications after an update were disabled. The actions are now performed automatically after an update. A maintenance is performed that cleans up incorrect entries and the Helpful database.
• Improved: If you access the logs in the admin area and bugs are detected, e.g. because the Post-ID is missing, the entry will be cleaned or deleted directly. So you don't have to do any maintenance.
• Improved: You can now get some information by clicking on Tools, Site Health and then on Info. Helpful will now appear there. The data there is always very useful for support.

Because I have rewritten a lot of lines of code, there can be bugs. So please report all bugs so I can take care of it as soon as I have time.

I also wanted to write that I now also look into Github when you create an issue there. I missed that so far, excuse me for that. You can now report your bugs on wordpress.org or on github.com.

Please don't send me an email, unless I offer to do so directly! I'm doing this all by myself and unfortunately I don't have a call center to help me with my support requests.

4.3.2

• Added: {feedback_form} added. This allows the feedback form to be displayed in the text areas. Should only be used in the areas after the user has already voted. So in the texts for "After the vote".
• Added: Under System you can now completely disable sessions and cookies. After that, users can vote as often as they want, because Helpful can no longer check whether the user has already voted.
• Tweak: Now it is always first checked whether a PHP session can be started. This should fix 500 server errors as soon as you have deactivated the sessions in the settings.

4.3.1

• Fixed: Javascript was corrected and the console.log was removed. Please excuse me for this!

4.3.0

• Added: In the Helpful settings under Feedback, you can now set the form to be shown even if the user has already voted instead of the "already voted" message. The user must have voted positively or negatively at least once for the form to be shown. If the user has already voted and the option is active, the form will be shown even if the user calls up the post again.
• Tweak: The helpful_feedback_submit_fields filter has been extended. With another argument you can now also access the session data.

An example of the extended filter can be found in the documentation: Helpful Documentation
