4.5.6

Enhanced

• There are now options under System to disable it Block Editor for widgets and the option that wp_mail errors are saved in the error log.
• The template for the emails is now no longer used with file_get_contents. Instead wp_remote_get is used. This can fix errors. A better alternative is welcome.

4.5.5

Enhanced

• You can now specify in the Helpful settings under Details whether the selected post types affect the shortcode or not. By default, the shortcode does not affect the selected post types. (Props @landwire)

4.5.4

Fixed

• I forgot to press save. Now the changes are active. Sorry!

4.5.3

Fixed

• file_get_contents from the last update was filled incorrectly by me. Is now corrected.

4.5.2

Enhanced

• Helpful now uses file_get_contents instead of ob_get_contents for the feedback email. This should solve problems with 1&1 or IONOS. If this doesn't work, you have to make sure that the server has enough memory, otherwise I can't think of a solution.

4.5.1

Enhanced

• See 4.5.0

4.5.0

Enhanced

• You can now make further adjustments to the appearance of Helpful in the Customizer or under Design. Since the way the Customizer options are saved has changed, you will have to choose the right theme for you again, otherwise Helpful will not look the way it looked before. [wp.org]
• You can now import and export Helpful settings. [wp.org]
• Helpful settings are now saved as a bundle instead of separately. So Helpful doesn't take 70+ entries in the options table of WordPress anymore, but less than 10 or 5.
• When WP-Rocket is in use, Helpful now tries to clear the cache of the individual page. This hasn't been tested yet, but could make Helpful more compatible when using WP-Rocket. [wp.org]
• Helpful now creates the wpml-config.xml in the plugin folder itself and keeps the file itself up to date. If the file cannot be created due to server security settings, there is no WPML support. But since keeping the file up to date by hand is too much effort for me, this is a compromise for me.

Note: Since the updates work via wordpress.org and I'm bad at testing that, I had to create a way for me to test an update from Helpful. For this there is now the hook helpful/plugin/updated. The then performs changes to database tables and options so that this is not always undertaken at admin_init. But since this does not mimic the update process of WordPress, there may be problems. These I will then quickly fix, since I can see them in the update now, only.

4.4.70

Fixed

• A name has now been added to the download attribute for Helpful Logs, so there should be fewer problems with browsers. The name will always be helpful-log-RANDOM_STRING.csv, so your downloads folder won't always be filled with helpful-log (1).csv, helpful-log (2).csv, etc.

Many thanks to hellothanos! [wp-org]

4.4.69

Fixed

• Helpful's logs could not be downloaded in some browsers. Now the download attribute is used while the element is hidden in the body. Then the click is triggered and the download is started. Thanks to hellothanos! [wp-org]

4.4.68

Fixed

• Fixed an error related to the instances database table. Now when saving a Helpful instance, it checks if the table exists. If not, it will be created. This process is checked once every week. If you can think of a better solution to the problem, feel free to post here on Github. [#27]

Thanks to XtraTheme for reporting the bug!
