4.4.67

Enhanced

• Tested with WordPress 5.9

Stay healthy, be well and enjoy your time!

4.4.66

Fixed

• Fixed a bug in PHP 8.X where the $results variable was not set. Thanks to @KevinPlusPlus [#26]

4.4.65

This update does not offer any new features and only serves to fire up the Github actions to get the new features published on WordPress.org.

Stay healthy!

4.4.64

Enhanced

• There is now a filter to set/manipulate the arguments for the start page. These arguments only affect the query for the table on the start page in the Helpful settings. A small bug has also been fixed here, which was not a bug for me, but could possibly be responsible for the error (Documentation).

4.4.63

Fixed

• Now countless emails are no longer sent when someone clicks on a feedback form button more than once. However, the feedback is still saved because Helpful allows you to save more than one feedback. [#25]

Enhanced

• There are now Helpful endpoints for WordPress' REST API. You can read more about this in the documentation: Learn more

4.4.62

Fixed

• The metabox is now only shown when it is active. [#23]
• The default fill should now work again, so it can be seen again on new installations. [#15]
• Options that could not be saved should now be able to be saved again.

To be fixed

• Go through all options and set default options. I have already included some that I found important, but not all.
• The text for the email is backed up too much, so even paragraphs don't work anymore. This still needs to be fixed, but wasn't as important to me right now as the rest.

Removed

• Since there were too many problems with the metabox, it is now no longer possible to specify custom texts within the metabox. The maintenance effort is currently too high for me due to the block editor (Gutenberg), so I took that out for now. [#23]

4.4.61

Fixed

• Fixed a bug related to PHP version 8.0. If you notice any other PHP 8.0 bugs, feel free to report them on Github. Thank you! [#24]

Thanks to @KevinPlusPlus <3

4.4.60

Fixed

• The inputs under Text in Helpful's settings now allow a bit more HTML. For this, the HTML tag <i class=""> has been allowed, so that you can also use Font-Awesome and other things without having to switch to <div>.

Notes

Important: Since there seems to be a need for clarification here: it is important to save the settings again to eliminate possible errors. This is important because Helpful now saves the settings and each option more securely and checks more explicitly if a value is correct. That's why, for example, no feedback entries are shown if there is a 0 saved under Feedback.

So: Check all settings and save them again. This should solve most of the problems. If you think of a better technical solution, you can always contribute on Github. I'm really always open for feedback and contributions! Helpful is for us and not only for me!

4.4.59

Fixed

• Helpful's Options class has been extended to support more security features. In addition, there is a new filter that allows you to disable these security provisions. Escaping them can lead to problems. Disabling security may fix these problems, but it makes Helpful more insecure. [#22]
• If you find problems, of any kind, resaving the settings will help. To do this, click Save on each settings page of Helpful and save everything again. Most of the problems should be solved.

4.4.58

Fixed

• One could still inject malicious code when setting the time zone. This input is now escaped and cleared if it is not a valid time zone. Not setting the correct timezone causes such an error, which is why a white bar is briefly shown at the top in the admin area. If you reload the admin area, Helpful has removed the erroneous code and the bar disappears.

Thanks to @erwanlr from @wpscanteam! Check out the tool. The colleagues from there, do great work!
