What's New in DirectoryCustomize

Choice rows now have a heading over every column, including Hide, Pin and Star. The star hover text is shorter so it no longer runs past the edge of the screen.

The choice rows in Options now fit on one line, with hide, pin and star as small icon buttons at the end. Their hover text matches the rest of the panel.

A settings section whose controls all live elsewhere no longer leaves an empty heading behind. The column count for All Filters is now the same kind of dropdown as the one beside it.

Switching the sponsor sidebar on or off now clears your site cache, so your search pages show the change straight away.

Switching a sidebar column on now clears your site cache, so the change shows on your pages straight away instead of appearing to do nothing.

All Filters now names each row after the filter it holds, so the list can be read at a glance. The column count for the panel and the one for All Filters sit together, and both are measured in columns. You can now choose 5, 6 or 7 columns, which the dropdown offered but would not save. Saving with a sidebar position switched on now warns you when your theme is not drawing a sidebar column, instead of the filter silently not appearing.

Sponsor Board can show its sidebar box on member search results: switch on Show the sidebar box on member search results in the County Pages group and save. Your search box stays underneath it, and switching it off puts the sidebar back as it was.

Switching a filter or a whole group off in one position now tells you if those filters are still showing in All Filters, with a button to switch them off there too. Before, switching a group off said nothing at all. On a filter's Options tab the choice rows now fit on one line instead of wrapping, and a note above them says which form field the choices come from and how to add one.

Sponsor Board can show its sidebar box on member search results too: switch on Show the sidebar box on member search results in the County Pages group and save. Your search box stays underneath it, and switching it off puts the sidebar back as it was.

On a Buttons filter the Shape choices are now Segmented, Pills and Tiles only. Buttons always draws a box, so the Plain list option there could never change anything; the panel now points to the Input type setting, which is what gives you a plain list.

Active now means active in the position you are looking at. Switch a filter off on the Sidebar and it stops showing there while carrying on everywhere else you put it, and a note tells you when it is still active in All Filters so you are not caught out. On the All Filters list the delete button is greyed out, because that list is every filter you have and there is nothing to remove from it.

All Filters now lists every filter you have, so you can set the order they appear in and open any one of them to change how it looks there. Nothing can be removed from that list, because the list is simply what you have; untick Showing on a row to take a filter out of the popup and it stays on the sidebar, the top bar and anywhere else you placed it.

The notes that were stacked on the Setup tab now sit with the settings they describe: how categories differ from your own fields is on the Categories work as setting, the reminder that a filter can only offer what your members have filled in is beside the field count, and how each position gets placed is on the position headings. Where the panel appears also said to switch a position on from My Widgets; switching it on here is what places it, for every content type you have.

The explanation of how categories differ from your own fields now sits with the Categories work as setting on the Filters tab, where that choice is made, instead of on the Setup tab.

Sponsor Board: on the Current Sponsors tab each card is outlined in its level's highlight color, so levels are easy to tell apart.

On the Filters tab, the position you are editing now shows a badge across the top of its card, and the other positions carry an Edit these filters button in the same place. All Filters now always says it shows every filter, including once you add rows to set their order. Each card counts the filters it holds rather than its rows, so a group of three counts as three and a Popular Filters section is no longer counted as a filter.

Sponsor Board: Current Sponsors cards have even spacing and a larger company name. Filter Engine: numbered setup steps at the top of the panel.

Sponsor Board: each setup step has a Take me there button to its section, Current Sponsors are titled by company name, every section heading on the sponsor tabs has the blue band, and buttons are always outlined with their help inside.

Sponsor Board: numbered setup steps at the top of the Settings tab. Steps the panel can check, like levels, pages, prices, online payment and county matching, turn green by themselves. Steps it cannot see, like placing the board or the FAQ on a page, have the code to copy and a Mark as done box.

Sponsor Board and its widgets now link to their own help page from the Help & FAQs link. The page address list no longer shows the standard form twice.

Panel: the county step buttons show how many members wait to be matched and how many are not geocoded; Match counties now shows a red notice to stay on the tab while it runs; help tips no longer flicker under the pinned toolbar; more notes use the blue information style.

Sponsor panel: the days to hold a spot are grayed out only when no placement can end, with a line saying why. The setting that limits category sponsoring to listed members now sits with the Category pages address.

County matching: members are no longer treated as moved when only the number format of their location differs, and members with no city or zip are not placed in any county. The county coverage check counts members with no address on their own line.

Sponsor Pages tab: each check button has its own help mark inside it, only one check result shows at a time and can be closed with an x, the county coverage result sits in a box, number boxes are wide enough to show their text, and the standard page address shows its real form.

Sponsor panel: removed a technical warning about the hold days that no longer applied.

Sponsor panel: the member invitation and the FAQ intro now start with ready-made text (the FAQ intro links to your contact page), so neither box is empty. The setting that limits category sponsoring to listed members moved to the Pages tab.

Sponsor panel: notes now use one color scheme (blue information notes with a lightbulb, green when a check comes back clean, yellow only when something needs action). The behind-on-payment setting on the When it ends tab now works on its own, and the text there says when a held spot comes back by itself.

Sponsor When it ends tab: the payment setting now sits under the plan setting and is greyed out unless that is ticked, the days to hold a spot come last and apply to every ending, and the text says plainly when a member behind on payment loses their spot. Current Sponsors tab has the same intro block as the other tabs.

Sponsor pages tab: a Check pages button loads each page you sell and stops selling any page that does not exist. The county coverage note now says members are matched to their county automatically.

Members are now placed on their county page automatically from their map location, a few at a time as county pages are viewed. The lookup services are set under Advanced on the Sponsor Board.

The annual and one-time page price boxes now say plainly that the amount is worked out for you, and that an amount you type is used instead.

Sponsor levels can now have an annual price and a one-time price, each left blank when that way of paying is not sold. Pages can set their own annual and one-time add-on, and the length of a one-time payment is a setting.

Sponsor Board: a placement you record yourself is now marked as yours, so later plan-change rules leave it alone while the member stays on the same plan.

Sponsor Board: each kind of page now has its own address pattern (county pages, category pages, county and category pages), so one site can sell all of them. Add placement now has one Record it button that checks first and asks before going past a limit.

Sponsor Board: county coverage now explains the two steps behind a county page, geocoding an address and then matching it to a county.

Sponsor Board: the copy-code box now explains in steps how to show one page, with a finished example from your own site. Expand all and Collapse all moved to the far right of the bar.

Sponsor Board: the Add a plan list now shows only plans not already on the tab. The Enabled switch no longer shows as off while the screen loads. County coverage says what each count means and what to do about it. The Add placement window explains Check first and Record it.

Sponsor Board: on the Included tab, Add a plan is now a green button that opens a list to tick from. Space added under the filter box on the Sponsors tab, and the buttons in the Add placement window stay inside it.

Design presets: every color preset can now be applied on every widget. Custom Design is the only one that still needs unlocking.

Sponsors tab: the Add placement button now sits above the list, so you do not have to scroll past every placement to reach it.

Sponsor Board: the Included with plans tab now lists only the plans that include a placement, with a box to add a plan. On sites with the dashboard add-on, choose where members see their sponsorships on their dashboard.

Faster to load: version history is fetched when you open it, so the panel no longer carries it.

Faster to load: the panel script is about a quarter smaller.

Sponsor Board: the help text on the Included with plans tab now matches the plan cards.

Sponsor Board: on the Included with plans tab each plan is now its own card with a header, so plans no longer run together.

Sponsor Board: copy a code to put the board, picker or member panel on any page (Pages tab), and write your own invitation for members who sponsor nothing yet.

Sponsor Board: a signed-in member can use a placement their plan includes from the picker, with a setting to approve each one yourself.

Sponsor Board: the waiting list reads a sign-up's chosen placement from where the site records it.

Sponsor Board: Current Sponsors now shows sign-ups that chose a placement and are waiting for you, with the reason and a button to record them.

Sponsor Board: the sponsor label can now sit as a tab above the top left corner of a listing.

Sponsor highlight design: set how a sponsored listing is marked, overall in Design, with its own look per level and per page

In Current Sponsors, the member number now opens that member in your admin

Creating a county page from the Pages tab now builds the full county page with its provider listing, heading and search description

Sponsor Board: the page address pattern now fills in the state for every county, including ones where no member has a state on file

Sponsor Board: the page address pattern now uses the correct state for every county

Sponsor Board: one page address pattern for the whole site, set on the Pages tab. The recommended address for every page follows it

Sponsor Board: a page that already exists on your site is recognized, so it no longer asks you to create it

Sponsor Board: the page search list on the Included tab now sits on top of the rows below it

Sponsor Board: the page search list on the Included tab now sits on top of the rows below it

Sponsor Board: the page search list no longer shows the boxes underneath through it

Sponsor Board: on the Included tab you can now type to find a page instead of scrolling a long list

Sponsor Board: a note that applies to many pages now shows once, with the pages listed on hover, instead of once per page

Sponsor Board: County Index and County Providers now sit inside the Sponsor Board group in My Widgets

Sponsor Board: the Current Sponsors tab now loads on sites with many members. It was reading far more member data than it needed and timing out

Sponsor Board: a page with no added price now sells at the level price. The level price is the starting price and a page price is only ever an extra on top

Sponsor Board: the Pages tab no longer asks for a page price before a page can sell

Sponsor Board: the on and off switch now sits in the panel header, with a hover note explaining exactly what turning it off hides

Sponsor Board: prices now read level first. The level price is the starting price and each page adds its own amount on top

Sponsor Board: the Settings tab explains what the board is, how to put it on a page, and what each setting does

After changing a setting on one filter you can now apply that same change to every filter or every group in one go - it asks first, names how many it will change, and leaves an Undo next to it until your next change.

A filter's dependency can now also HIDE it for particular answers, not only show it for them - and when it switches off you can leave it dimmed in place instead of removing it.

A filter's dependency can now also HIDE it for particular answers, not only show it for them - and when it switches off you can leave it dimmed in place instead of removing it.

A setting that is greyed out now says which choice turns it on, and you can click that choice to set it without leaving the panel.

The Tint / Lightness slider now has a ? explainer: it moves every color in the chosen design lighter or darker together.

A setting that is greyed out now says which setting turns it back on, instead of only saying it is unavailable.

Exporting settings now includes every tab, not only the ones opened in that session, and carries the filter setup itself - the fields, their order, their options and the layout groups. Importing restores all of it.

Exporting a filter panel now includes the filters themselves - the fields, their order, their options and the layout groups - not only the colors and spacing. Importing restores them.

The admin now says when the service refused this site rather than reporting it as offline, and no longer promises an automatic reconnect that cannot happen.

The admin now says when the service refused this site rather than reporting it as offline, and no longer promises an automatic reconnect that cannot happen.

Filter builder: the 'whole rows only' help now says what a very wide list does, so the number you set is predictable.

Filter builder: the four number and picture-tile input types now say how many choices a visitor can pick, the same note every other type already showed.

Each choice in a filter now has a section box. Give two choices the same section wording and they sit under one heading.

Number filters can now be set up in the Filters tab: lowest, highest, unit, which end a single-bound control uses, and the step list.

A group's name box in the builder no longer cuts off a long name.

A group's name box in the builder no longer cuts off a long name.

Four more filter display types can now be chosen in the Filters tab: Number - Range, Number - Slider, Number - One bound and Picture tiles.

A filter already set to one of those types now shows that type in the Input type box instead of reading as Checkboxes.

The Top Bar no longer takes its own row in My Widgets. It is set up from the Filters tab, where its position card already lives.

Every filter panel can now be deleted, including the first one. The confirmation says what else depends on it.

Each filter panel in the list now has a Delete button, with a confirmation that names the panel. The main panel and the position copies cannot be deleted.

Design tab: the preset card pickers now sit two to a row instead of each taking a full row with empty space beside it

Sub Account no longer appears in the content type list. Design tab sections run three across instead of two, and labels line up with their boxes again.

Sub Account and other backend-only types no longer appear in the content type list -- they have no search results, so there is nothing to filter there.

My Widgets: the Sponsor Board now groups its availability board, area picker and checkout gate under one entry instead of listing them apart from each other.

My Widgets: the status badge is now called Status Badge and has its own entry, so its settings are easier to find.

My Widgets: the Sponsor Board now groups its availability board, area picker and checkout gate under one entry instead of listing them apart from each other.

My Widgets: the status badge is now called Status Badge and has its own entry, so its settings are easier to find.

A pill can now point at any filterable field, not only the ones already on the panel -- choosing one adds it as a filter so the shortcut always has something to fill in.

Checkboxes gain a mark style (tick, cross or dot) and a weight, in their own Design section. The heading box on a filter now says whether that filter is showing its default heading or none, instead of an empty box meaning both.

Checkbox design now has its own section in the Design tab instead of sitting under Typography. Checkboxes also ship with a modern look by default -- a rounded box with a white tick on your brand color -- and every part of it is still editable from that section.

Adding a filter panel is now the green Add a panel button at the top of the list, and naming happens by renaming it in the list afterwards. Save my changes to it is gone: open a panel and your edits save themselves, the same as everywhere else. The Widget card shows how many panels you have made, and the three position cards are the same height.

Renaming a panel is now the pencil beside its name and edits in place. Each position has a Stacked or Across choice, so a top bar can run across the top instead of stacking like a sidebar. The position cards line up at equal height, the Widget card shows how many panels you have placed, and Copy is called Copy in both places.

Step 1 now shows the content type you are editing as its own card, with its on/off switch on it and the standard Enabled or Disabled wording. The other content types sit in a box beside it, and picking one swaps them over.

Heading above the filters is now per position, so clearing it on the Top Bar no longer clears it on the Sidebar. Show on Desktop/Mobile now actually hides the panel on that device. Sidebar and Top Bar cards show their paste line again with a Copy button. The rename box names the widget it renames, and that widget is marked in the list below. A tab whose panel fails to draw now says so with a Try again button instead of spinning forever.

Placements: the checkout setting now names the digital product buyers pay on, and starts empty so an unfinished setup tells visitors payment is not ready instead of sending them to a page that cannot take the money.

The Sidebar, Top Bar and Widget cards now line up: the headings above them stay on one line instead of wrapping and pushing a card down.

The Filter Engine on/off switch now sits in the panel header. It is green when the filters are on and red when they are off, with the word Enabled or Disabled beside it.

The Filter Engine on/off switch now sits in the panel header, visible from every tab, and the Settings tab is gone because that switch was all it held.

Search Order: the Order Rules tab now tells you when the Online Status Badge is not on your site, because rules need it to move anyone

Search Order now sits under its own heading in My Widgets

The Default Member Search URL box is gone from the filter settings. That is a site-wide setting and belongs in General Settings > Search Setup; the filter panel reads it and no longer offers a second place to change it.

Grouped widgets now have one Configure button, on the group heading, so it stays visible when the group is collapsed. The heading also keeps its own background instead of picking up the table stripe.

The Top Bar now links back to Filter Engine for its settings, and switching a position on adds it to that page right away instead of waiting for the next update.

A filter left over from a failed delete can now be removed. Previously the panel refused, because its setup was already gone.

Removing a filter now takes it off the panel. It was deleting the filter's setup but leaving its row in place, so the card stayed on screen even after a refresh.

Your Filter Engine positions are now listed together in My Widgets, with the Top Bar shown as part of the same product instead of on its own.

Every filter panel on your site is now listed under the Widget position, so you can open any of them and change its settings. Each one has its own line to paste and its own Put it on my homepage hero button. The Top Bar no longer asks you to make a widget for it.

The search page now always follows your site's Default Member Search URL. Where this filter panel goes is shown full width under its card.

The Top Bar position can now be given its own widget, the same way the Widget position can. Without one it had nowhere to appear.

The search URL box now shows your site's actual setting, and saving it updates General Settings. It tells you either way.

The search URL box is now the same value as General Settings > Search Setup. Editing either one updates the other.

Removed a leftover setting that asked which panel a widget shows. The cards in step 2 already decide that.

The places your filters can appear are now grouped: the two that sit on your search results page, and the one you paste anywhere.

A placed widget now shows the panel you built in the Widget position, not your sidebar one.

Simplified making a placed widget: name it and go. Change what it draws on that widget's own settings if you want something different.

Name your placed widget yourself, choose what it draws, and save later edits straight into it instead of making another one.

After making your panel its own widget, you can have it added to your homepage hero for you. Anything already there is kept.

The Widget position can now be made into its own widget, giving you a line to paste on any page, your homepage hero included.

The Widget position now has an Add to homepage hero button that creates its own widget and hands you the shortcode to place it.

The filter panel's shape setting now offers a hero card, for a panel placed over a homepage image.

Ready-made panels now offer three filter combinations for every position: search and location, the full category tree, or categories with location.

Sub-sub categories can now be used as a filter, and the Sub category list no longer mixes them in.

You can now change the faint text inside a filter box. Look for Text inside the box, next to the title.

Presets now show only the ready-made panels for the position and content type you are editing, and the picker has one close button.

Step 3 now has a Presets button: five ready-made filter panels you can load with one click, each shown as a small picture of its shape.

Step 2 Layout now shows a third card, Widget, for the version you paste anywhere on your site such as a homepage hero.

Placement help now matches how settings are stored - two shapes on one page means duplicating the widget. Hero position added for homepage search.

A filter with no heading set now shows no heading on your site. It was printing the internal field name - Df Specialty and the like - which is our storage naming, not yours

The Title shown to searchers box no longer suggests that internal name; it says what leaving it blank will do, and offers to copy the name from the card header instead

The filter preview now shows your real colors. It was rendering in the default greys because the design settings live on the panel wrapper and only the single filter was being copied across

The settings toolbar now has a divider between every button instead of a single one before Import

The Settings dropdown that picks what the widget draws now says what each choice looks like on the page - a tall filter box, a short filter strip, or a row of one-click buttons with no Search button

Help bubbles are a comfortable reading width rather than a tall narrow column

The preview updates itself as soon as your change saves, and there is a refresh arrow on it for when you want to force it - neither one reloads the tab or closes the card you are working in

Popular Searches cards now match filter cards: same spacing, and a collapsed one is just its header bar

Filter cards and groups keep two names again: the dark header names the card for you, and a separate Title shown to searchers sets the heading on your site - so clearing the public heading no longer blanks the card in the builder

Previews now load on every card, not just the ones open when the tab was first opened

Clicking anywhere on a card or group header folds it, not only the small arrow

A filter's up and down arrows dim when it is already first or last, matching groups

Tile shape now sits beside the Tiles option instead of further down the panel

A switched-off group shows a red header, matching how a switched-off filter looks

Every pop-up has a close X in the corner

A Popular Searches card previews its pills to the side, in the same Preview box the other cards use

A collapsed card is now just its header, with no empty space underneath

Help bubbles are wider and sit beside the setting they explain

Filters and groups are now named by clicking the name in the card header. The separate name boxes inside the card are gone. A small undo arrow next to the name puts it back to the default.

The filter card now has one name field, the searcher label, and the card header follows it. The icon position control appears for any icon, not just uploaded images. Its middle now reads Label instead of showing one of your pictures.

Settings screen added for an upcoming search ordering add-on. Nothing changes on your site unless that add-on is installed.

Filters: the design options for each filter and each group are shown again.

The filter editor is no longer part of the plugin download - it is fetched when you open the Filters tab. Nothing changes in how it works.

The filter editor now loads from its own widget when you open the Filters tab, instead of being part of every download of this plugin. Nothing changes in how it works.

Filter Engine: two-level search in the group header (find a group, find a filter within a group). Popular Searches can render as tiles. Per-filter design overrides mirroring the Design tab.

The find box now searches groups as well as filters, and each group has its own box to search inside it. A Popular Searches section can be drawn as tiles.

Each filter can now carry its own design, using the same control the group uses. An inactive group is now clearly marked. All on and All off work on Popular Searches sections and open the group so you can see the result. Blank name and label boxes now say which wording they are following.

Group design overrides now match the Design tab exactly -- same names, same controls, same defaults and Restore Default. Each filter can now carry its own design overrides as well, following its group unless you change one. Groups gain All active and All inactive. Collapse all now works on first load.

Picking an icon for a Popular Searches pill now saves it. Buttons in a group header no longer collapse the group when clicked. The clear-icon button moved next to the icon it clears, away from the background image box.

Choice rows in the Options list now line up whatever a choice is called. Collapse all and Expand all now fold the groups themselves, not just the filters inside them. Each group header gains All on and All off, switching every filter in that group at once.

A date field can now use a calendar date-range filter with presets, picked from the input type list, instead of showing a dropdown of raw dates.

Popular Searches pill icons save again. Each filter group header now has its own Add filter button. The icon column in the choices list keeps one straight edge whether a choice has an emoji, an image or a FontAwesome icon.

Options revealed by Show more now stack on their own lines, and Show fewer sits below them instead of running on from the last option. Dragging an option to reorder it now shows the same dotted drop outline used elsewhere, so you can see where it will land.

Popular Searches pill icons now save

Icons sit centered in their box

Choices you hide are shown in red, like anything else switched off

Category filters can now have a search box and a Show more cut-off

Popular Searches pill icons now save

Placement levels: the note under Mirrors the membership plan now says what the setting actually does. It confirms that a level sharing a plan name is deliberate, so it stops being flagged - it does not change what a buyer sees or who can buy.

Manual ordering now works - drag choices in the A-Z list into any order

Popular Searches pills can have their own icon or image

A pinned choice can be starred without unpinning it first

The find and order controls in Options now sit directly above the choices they order, instead of above the icon size settings

The choice rows in Options keep the shown as caption on one line, so the row no longer grows a second line and push the icon controls out of alignment

Matching logic now has a Let searchers change this on the page option, which shows a match any of these / all of these switch under the filter once a visitor has picked more than one

Filters: choices with no matches now hide as intended, the Search Assist dropdown renders, and Placeholder is offered only where one is drawn.

Update notes are now checked for US spelling before a release can go out.

The wording of earlier entries in this list has been corrected to US spelling.

Placement setup: the reorder grip and arrows on a card now use the panel's shared card colors by name, so every builder's cards match instead of each one carrying its own copy.

Placement setup: the arrow that opens and closes a card is now the same blue as the one on the filter builder's cards, so the two read as the same control.

Placement setup: the reorder grip and arrows on each card now match the ones on the filter builder's cards instead of rendering blue.

Filters: the Up and Down arrows on a filter group now gray out at the top and bottom of the list, where they cannot do anything, the same as the placement cards.

Placement setup: One level per plan now skips back-office accounts such as an admin or general user plan, since nobody sells a placement for those. You can still add a level for one by hand if you need to.

Placement setup: the Levels bar now shows the total spots a page can hold across all your active levels, so you can see it against the site-wide total without adding it up.

Settings: saving a setting no longer clears a widget's saved configuration

Placement setup: the note about a level name matching a membership plan has moved into the One level per plan dialog, so it is shown while you are choosing the names instead of sitting on the tab afterwards. A level named exactly the same as a plan is still flagged.

Filter Engine: a Popular Searches section added to the panel now renders

Filter Engine: input types now say how many choices a visitor can make

Filter Engine: choice counts and the members-match total now count only real listings

Placement setup: the Settings and Quick Setup Options headings on the Levels tab now match the section headings used everywhere else in the panel.

Filter Engine: Show fewer is a small button again, and its revealed choices join the grid

Placement setup: the site-wide placement total now has a Clear beside it, so you can take the ceiling off without selecting the number and deleting it. It appears only when a total is set.

Filter Engine: choices can fit as many per line as they allow, or take one line each

Placement setup: every confirmation now uses the panel's own dialog instead of a browser pop-up, and lists of plans or levels read as lists.

Placement setup: the Levels tab now explains how the page total works against each level's spots, using your own numbers.

Placement setup: the site-wide placement total moved to the top of the Levels tab, and the spots box now says what leaving it blank does.

A level with no spot limit no longer forces you to set a page total. Unlimited means unlimited; the total is optional and caps all levels together when you want one.

The group icon can be set whether or not a group uses the standard design

Typing a group icon name no longer redraws the whole panel on every character

The icon picker search is no longer slow to type in

Every confirmation in the placement setup now uses the panel's own dialog instead of a browser pop-up. Declining a coverage change now tells you the placements were left behind.

The group icon can be set whether or not a group uses the standard design

A group has a builder name and a searcher heading, like a filter does

Choices without an icon keep their labels lined up with the ones that have one

Shape now sits above the settings that depend on it, so they no longer appear out of nowhere

Pictures and emoji take their own size in pixels, on its own row beside the glyph size

The ink swatch moved next to the control that sets the icon, and the text box is hidden when a glyph is chosen

Image placement offers always beside, always above and image only, and the default is now named for what it does

Option rows say whether an icon is an image, a glyph or an emoji, with a preview big enough to tell them apart

The group icon can be set whether or not a group uses the standard design

County picker now lists the counties your members are actually in

A membership plan can now include placements on one specific page, on top of its general allowance. And when you change what a page covers, placements already sold on it can be moved across instead of being left behind.

A city in a sponsorship page address now shows which state it is in, so two towns with the same name cannot be confused.

Sponsorship page addresses now include every part you picked, broadest first, like /ne/douglas-county/assisted-living.

Creating a sponsorship page from the panel works again - it was being sent to the wrong address. A failure now says so clearly instead of a small line of text. Long category and location lists can be searched by typing.

Sponsorship pages now get an address that matches the rest of your site, like /douglas-county/assisted-living instead of one long run-on name. Pages you already created still count as built.

Sponsor placements: counties are picked by name instead of by code, Add placement opens in a window rather than sitting on the page, and choosing an extra limit adds it straight away.

Sponsor placements: picking what a page covers now sticks instead of jumping back to County.

Sponsor placements: switching what a page covers now swaps in the right chooser, top categories can be picked as a page, an unfinished page is named instead of numbered, and an ended placement says Remove rather than Release.

Sponsor placements: cities, states and top categories are now picked from your own site instead of typed, so a page cannot be built on a value that does not exist.

Filter Engine: a Date range filter is now available to add, alongside Keyword search and Location search. It uses the date search this site already has, and offers one-click presets - Any upcoming, This weekend, This month, Next 30 days, Next 3 months.

Add recommended pages: top categories are now offered alongside sub categories, cities and states, and the filter buttons stay inside the window. The Levels tab no longer uses example names that are not yours.

Filter Engine: an image icon can now be placed behind a button or tile instead of beside the label, with a control for how much to darken it so the text stays readable. Tiles can be square or circular as well as filling the column width. Both appear once a filter has an image icon and a button shape.

Add recommended pages: filter the list by categories, cities or states, and each row now says plainly how many of its listings are on a paid plan.

Sponsor placements: a Create this page button on each placement makes the page on your site and fills in its address, so you no longer make the page elsewhere and paste the link back.

Sponsor placements: Add recommended pages reads your own members and offers the areas and categories that have people in them, with how many are on a paid plan, so you pick from real numbers instead of guessing. Ones you have already added show as done.

Sponsor placements: find a member by company or person name when recording a placement, instead of needing their member number.

Sponsor placements: every recorded placement now shows whether it is live, ended but still held for that member, or ended - worked out from its own dates rather than from whatever was typed in the note.

Sponsor placements: the sponsor list opens on current placements, with an Ended chip showing how many are set aside, so an old placement no longer sits in the list looking live.

Sponsor placements: create the page a sponsorship is sold on directly from the placement, instead of making the page yourself and pasting its address.

Sponsor placements: pick a category from your own list instead of typing a slug, on both the main row and the Also limit to adder.

Sponsor placements: the Covers filter now keeps a page visible under every area it covers, so a page set to a county and a category shows under both.

Sponsor placements: move a page or a level up and down to put the ones you sell most at the top.

Filter Engine: the keyword filter's Matching logic now shows 'must match every word' as its default, which is how keyword search actually behaves - typing a second word narrows. The 'listings with nothing stored for this field' choice is hidden for a keyword, where it has no meaning.

Sponsor placements: the Pages and Levels tabs get the standard sticky toolbar, with Add on the left beside the list-wide controls.

Fixed the Settings tab sitting on Loading settings and never finishing. It now loads the first time you open it, with no need to click another tab and come back.

Sponsor: find a page or a sponsor with the standard search and filter chips

Sponsor: cards collapse, with expand all and collapse all

Sponsor: a level can be switched off without losing its setup

Sponsor: page price is now an explicit override behind Use standard pricing

Sponsor: Placements is now four numbered tabs, each opening with setup notes

Sponsor: Current Sponsors no longer fails to load on sites with many members

Sponsor: a placement is hidden while the member listing is hidden, unless the level is an advert

Sponsor: Placements is now four numbered tabs, each opening with setup notes

Sponsor: Current Sponsors no longer fails to load on sites with many members

Filter Engine: colors for the filter choices themselves - pill, tile and segmented - with a separate set for the chosen state, plus corner rounding for pill and tile. Design presets now fill them.

Pinned and starred choices now show a mark to searchers. Icon sizes go up to 3x. Pill font is chosen from a list that previews each typeface. The selected-option tick is no longer clipped.

The icon swatch in Edit options is now a compact labelled button instead of a full-width box with an unexplained plus.

The icon swatches now open the icon picker. They were being closed again by the same click that opened them.

The icon swatch beside each choice in Edit options is now a visible, clickable button. It had collapsed to a thin line with nothing to click.

When a filter has no choices, the Options tab now says so plainly and points at Form Manager, instead of explaining why.

Icons for individual choices are now chosen from the icon picker as well, inside Edit options.

Group icons are now chosen from the icon picker instead of typed by hand. You can still paste an emoji.

Filters built on your own member fields now show their choices in the Options tab, so you can pin, rename, hide and reorder them.

The Options tab now finds a filter's choices: it shows how many there are and the Edit options button appears, on every filter that has a stored list.

The Options tab now explains what it is for, and says why there is nothing to edit when a filter's choices are built from your members' own values.

Adding a Popular Searches row from the Add menu now works. It used to report a configuration error every time.

Filter shape now offers a plain list again, and each shape shows a thumbnail instead of just its name.

Filter Engine: the mark on a foldable section is now a choice - chevron, plus and minus, caret, or none.

Filter Engine: the auto-search setting is now two clearly named choices - filter when they press Search, or filter automatically as they choose - instead of a single tickbox.

Filter Engine: the section box settings now gray out on the Design tab when the chosen section style cannot use them.

Filter Engine: the section box settings (background, border, corner radius, shadow, padding, spacing) now gray out when the section style cannot use them, instead of disappearing.

Sponsor: placement lifecycle settings

Filter Engine: the Section style choice is now a visual picker - each option shows a small example of what the panel will look like.

Filter Engine: added help tooltips to the group controls - use the standard design, collapse settings, group icon, option order and the visitor search box.

Placements: choose whether an included placement is given up when the plan that included it lapses

Placements: set how many days a lapsed placement is held for the member before anyone else can buy it

Release notes load faster - older entries now come from the server instead of shipping with the plugin

Release notes no longer list the same version twice

Sponsorship plans picker now lists your membership plans instead of showing no items available

Panel actions (Save As/Load/Presets/Export/Import/Reset) moved from the tab row to the header - six tabs was clipping them

Completed the previous cleanup - the stylesheet carried the last of the internal development notes.

Removed internal development notes from the plugin source so they no longer download with every page render.

Set names you type now appear straight away in the other badges' suggestions

The set name field now suggests reputation even before any badge uses a set

The set name field now suggests sets you already use

Badge icon controls line up better

Badge icon and its color now sit side by side instead of stacked

Badge icon color now sits with the icon choice, and only appears for icons that use it

Each badge now picks its own icon: none, a dot, a Font Awesome icon or an emoji

The icon choice and its color and animation now sit together instead of in separate sections

Badge preview uses the full panel width so badge positions no longer overlap

Badges can be grouped so a member shows only the best one from a set, instead of collecting every badge they qualify for

Badges can be grouped so a member shows only the best one from a set, instead of collecting every badge they qualify for

Badge preview now shows the badges large and on their own, without the sample member card

Reputation badges are a ladder: Reviewed, then Top Performer, then Highly Rated

Tidied up how badge cards are styled so they no longer depend on another panel

Groundwork so badge conditions can use the same rule builder as the Visibility Engine

Badges with several conditions can now require ALL of them or just ANY one

Per-badge design overrides now use the same controls as the Design tab -- grouped sections, several across, opacity sliders and Restore Default -- instead of a stacked one-off list.

Badge cards now use the standard dark header band, matching the rule builder -- they were showing a lighter treatment meant for nested cards, which left the title and Active label hard to read.

Text and Position now sit side by side instead of stacked.

The Active recently preset now creates a badge reading Active Recently, matching its type -- it said Active Today, which is not true once you change the window.

Rebuilt the badge type picker on the panel own overlay so it sizes and centers correctly at every screen width.

Renamed to Badge Engine -- it does far more than online status now.

Badges are cards you can collapse, reorder and switch off, matching the rule and filter builders.

Add badge now opens a type picker, with Custom badge first, and each badge can change type later without losing its wording or colors.

Every design value can now be set per badge -- background, text, dot, shadow, corners, padding, text size, weight and font -- or left to follow the Design tab.

On/off settings on a badge are toggles with labels, matching the rest of the panel, instead of Show/Hide dropdowns.

Badge background now has a color swatch and a Reset, so you no longer have to type a hex code to override it.

The general Badges explanation moved into a hover help icon in the toolbar, freeing the space it used above every badge.

Preset picker opens centered at its normal width.

Add badge and Presets now sit together at the top of the Badges tab.

Preset pickers open centered on screen instead of at the very top.

Date conditions are now rolling windows -- active in the last 24 hours instead of since midnight -- and the window is a setting on the badge.

Badges tab: set a badge to show only for members who match your rules - plan, review count, last login, member tag, location and more.

Eight one-click badge presets to start from, including Active today, Top performer and Tagged members.

Limit how many badges stack in one spot, with the order of your list deciding which ones show.

Option to hide the theme built-in verified badge so your own replaces it.

The Configure preview now shows every badge you have set up, in the right positions, instead of a single sample badge.

Badges can be reordered, which sets which one sits nearest the photo edge when they share a position.

Each badge can show or hide its pulsing dot, or follow the Settings tab.

The Not filterable list actually lists things now. It was always empty, so a field that cannot be used as a filter appeared in neither list and simply looked missing. Each entry says why -- either the field type cannot be filtered, or its name marks it as personal or internal data.

Fixed a related gap: fields were only being excluded by NAME, never by type, so free text, HTML and button fields were being offered as filters.

Removed the extra bottom padding under every settings section.

A filter already in one layout can now be added to the other. The Add filter list used to hide anything already on the panel, so a filter in the Sidebar could never be put in the Top Bar -- the case the Both Layouts badge exists for was unreachable. Adding it again reuses the same filter rather than making a second copy, so its options stay in step across both positions.

Popular Searches sections are named the same way filter cards are -- the title shows in the header and you rename it from Label shown to searchers in the body. That name is also the heading shown above the pills on your site.

A filter that appears in both the Sidebar and the Top Bar now carries a Both Layouts badge on its card. The card sits in whichever list you are viewing, so being in that one is obvious -- being in the other one was invisible. It matters before you edit: the two positions share one definition, so changing its options in one place changes both.

Removed the per-filter Show in: Full panel / Quick row checkboxes. Where a filter appears is now simply which layout's list it is in, so those boxes were a second control for the same decision -- and they could contradict it outright, leaving a filter in the Sidebar list with Full panel unticked. To put a filter in the Top Bar, add it while the Top Bar card is selected.

Fixed: drag and drop, and adding More options, did nothing in the sidebar. Two names for the same kind of row had crept into the code, so a dragged filter was looked up under a name the saved list does not use and was never found.

Each Popular Filters section now holds its OWN pills and its own name. Two sections used to share one list -- both showed the same count and editing one edited the other. The name is shown above the pills on your site as well, so it is the visitor-facing heading, not just a way to tell sections apart in here.

The remove button on a Popular Filters section now matches the one on a filter card.

Popular Filters is a proper section now: dark header, drag handle, up and down arrows, remove, and its pill editor inside it. It sits in the list where you put it, and you can add more than one. It is no longer a gray line pointing at a band above the list, and that band is now named Sort, which is what it holds.

Fixed: dragging or reordering the second Popular Filters section moved the first. A repeatable section is identified by its position in the list, not just its type.

When a move is refused, the message now names which layout it looked in and how many rows that layout holds -- the old wording could not tell you that the list on screen belonged to the other layout.

The three step headers are the same height, so they read as one sequence.

The Filters tab is now numbered: Step 1 Content type, Step 2 Layout, Step 3 Filter settings.

Both layouts are on screen at once, one card each. Every control now sits inside the layout it belongs to -- its own on/off switch and its own desktop and mobile checkboxes -- instead of one shared switch pushed to the far right. You can see at a glance that the Top Bar is empty and switched off. Clicking a card chooses which filter list you are editing below; clicking its switch or checkboxes does not.

Popular filters is now a section you place in the list, from the same plus button as a filter -- and you can add more than one. A row of common searches can sit at the top and another set further down beside the filters they relate to. The more options divider stays limited to one, because everything below it is hidden and a second one could not also be the boundary.

The Filters tab now reads as three numbered steps with matching section headers: pick the content type, pick where it shows, then set up its filters. Layout was a small gray box that looked like a detail of the step above it rather than a step of its own.

The Filter Engine can now be placed as shortcut pills. This copy shows offers a third choice -- full panel, top bar, or shortcut pills only -- so one content type can run all three at once in different parts of the page.

Shortcut pills get their own design controls in the Design tab: font, text size, padding, corner rounding, shadow, spacing, and colors for background, text, border, icon and hover. Every one defaults to blank, so an unstyled pill inherits your site rather than arriving with our styling baked in.

Fixed: adding More options did nothing. The picker draws the list from the layout it is editing, but the add-divider action was still writing to the old storage the list no longer reads, so it reported success and nothing appeared. Adding, moving and removing the fold all work on the list you can see.

The More options divider can now go at the very top. That was never a rule -- it was a storage limit, because the fold used to be recorded as the name of the filter above it and there is no filter above the first one.

Fixed: the Layout section rendered as a narrow strip beside an empty box. It now claims a full row of its own regardless of how the surrounding panel lays out its children.

Fixed: the Rules tab was appearing on every widget. It is the Visibility Engine's rule builder and shows the same rule cards wherever it is opened, so an Event Search Results panel was offering to author rules that widget never evaluates. It now appears only on the Visibility Engine, where every rule card is still reachable.

The Any choice control is now called Placeholder and sits after the input type, since only inputs with a list of choices have one. Its help explains what it does: leave it on and a visitor who ignores the filter still sees everything; switch it off and a choice is required.

Filter option lists no longer come up empty. The scan collecting a field's possible values was not separated by content type, so one post type's values crowded out another's and a field with more than thirty values across the site was dropped entirely. Values are now collected per content type, and a field with too many to list says so instead of showing nothing.

Removed a stale registry entry for a mistyped widget slug that showed as an empty row in My Widgets.

Fixed: the Filters and Configuration tabs were appearing on every widget, not just the one they belong to. A widget whose settings do not ask for them no longer gets them, so Event Search Results shows its own tabs again.

Fixed: the Layout section rendered as a narrow strip outside its own box. Its on/off switch was missing the slider element the red and green toggle needs, so it fell out of the layout instead of sitting on the right.

New Layout section in the Filters tab. Sidebar and Top Bar are two positions for the same filters -- put a filter in both and it stays one filter, so editing its options once updates both. Each position keeps its own order and can be limited to desktop or mobile, which is how you run a short bar on phones and a full panel on desktop. Each position has its own on/off switch, separate from the content type switch above it.

Filters, the more-options fold and shortcut pills are now rows in one ordered list, so the fold sits where you drag it instead of being pinned to whichever filter is above it, and pills can be ordered with everything else. Adding a filter adds it to the position you are editing, not to both.

Help and FAQs now links to the section the product actually lives in. A widget with no help page of its own fell back to the widgets hub regardless of which plugin it belonged to, so Filter Engine pointed at a hub that does not list it. The section now comes from the widget schema, and it targets the section hub rather than a guessed per-widget page -- that page does not exist yet and would have been a 404.

The help URL rules existed as two hand-maintained copies that could drift apart; there is now one implementation with two call sites.

Build prompt now derives every allowed value from the schema itself rather than restating them. The first version listed the input types by hand and had two of them wrong, offering names that are not valid values -- a brief that teaches invalid values is worse than none, because what comes back parses and then fails to save. Adding a new input type, layout mode, role, placement or option order now appears in the brief with no edit.

The More options divider now grays out in the Add-here menu once the panel already has one, with a reason, instead of silently offering a second. Moving it is drag or its arrows. A stale anchor pointing at a deleted field still counts as no divider, so a panel can always get one back.

Dragging the divider UP works. The drop edge was decided by a rule -- a divider drag always meant after the target card -- so dropping it on the card directly above meant where it already was, and it could be dragged down but never back up. The edge now comes from which half of the target card you drop on, which also fixes filter drags deciding their edge from array order rather than from the drop.

Expand all and Collapse all each gray out when pressing them would do nothing, matching the Visibility Engine rules list. Previously they only disabled when the list was empty, so Expand all sat available and inert whenever everything was already open.

Configuration tab: Copy build prompt writes a full brief -- the schema, the rules enforced on save, and the current document -- for handing to an LLM or BD Builder. Copy JSON still copies the raw document. Expand now opens to the full document height rather than a fixed fraction of the screen.

The configuration box drag-to-resize corner works. The shared rule for single-line inputs was reaching the textarea and pinning its height with !important; matching that !important fixed the height but broke resizing, because the browser writes an inline height without !important and lost to it. That rule is now scoped to input and select only.

Drag and drop actually moves rows now. The drop handler computed a raw position from the target card and threw away the before/after edge the dashed line had just painted -- so dragging a filter across the More options divider highlighted correctly and then snapped back. Every drop (filter onto filter, filter onto divider, divider onto filter) now goes through one action that works on the list as displayed and honors the edge shown.

Configuration tab: a Copy schema button for pasting the filter configuration into BD Builder during a build, and an Expand button for the document box. Expand is a button rather than the browser drag-grip, which depends on CSS that has twice been overridden underneath it.

Config sub-tabs now come from one registry. A tab used to be declared in five places that had to agree by hand -- the tab anchor markup, the pane markup, an allTabIds list, a labels map plus an icons map, and a dispatch switch -- with nothing checking they did. Adding one is now a single row.

Fixed a latent gap found by that consolidation: the allTabIds list omitted 'filters' entirely, so any widget whose schema did not name its tabs explicitly could never show the Filters tab even though the pane and the loader both existed.

New Configuration tab. The filter configuration document moves out of Settings into its own tab with room to read and edit it -- it is a generated document, not a setting, and it was sharing a stylesheet rule with single-line text inputs. Any schema field of type json routes there automatically.

A sub-tab whose registry row names a missing loader now says so in the console and prints a plain message in the pane, instead of showing a spinner that never resolves.

Add-here menu: the More options divider no longer vanishes at the top gap. It cannot sit above the first filter (everything would start hidden), but the menu was silently dropping the entry rather than saying so -- indistinguishable from the feature being broken. It now shows grayed out with the reason and points you at a gap lower down.

Popular Filters: the pill preview strip is back when the section is open. Folding it into the collapsed-only summary meant opening the section to edit the pills hid the pills -- the strip is the only place you see what a visitor sees, so it now shows in both states. A pill with no option chosen yet shows as a dashed red outline instead of vanishing, so the strip and the count agree.

Filter configuration box can be resized again. It shares a class with single-line text inputs, whose rule pins height to 36px with !important -- so the JSON box was locked to one line, rows=6 did nothing and the drag-to-resize grip rendered but could not move it. Now opens at a readable height and drags.

Help tooltips no longer flash in the wrong place. The bubble was made visible, then measured, then repositioned -- so it painted one frame over the controls beneath the icon before jumping to its final spot. It is now laid out invisibly, measured, positioned, and only then painted.

Popular Filters: a new pill no longer auto-picks an option or auto-fills its label override -- it arrives unfilled, shows 'choose an option' in red, and the override box stays empty (blank = use the option's own name). Changing a pill's filter clears the value instead of jumping to that filter's first option.

Popular Filters: the Edit button is gone. WIDGET SETTINGS now folds and unfolds as a whole section -- open, the pill rows are always editable in place instead of collapsing after every change; collapsed, it shows a one-line summary and its pills, and clicking a pill reopens it.

Popular Filters: a pill can now be built on a filter that has no ready-made option list (Featured, Membership Plan) -- previously the add refused outright, which made those look unavailable as pills.

Popular Filters: the remove button now sits against its own row rather than flung to the panel edge, so on a multi-pill list it is clear which row it deletes.

Show sort control now has a help hover explaining what it adds for visitors.

Layout returns, per content type, in the Filters tab beside the content type it applies to. The old global Layout setting in the widget settings form is removed -- the widget never read it.

Each filter can now be set to show in the full panel, the quick row, or both

Removed the Layout control -- it did nothing, and placement belongs to each content type rather than one global setting

A switched-off filter now shows as a red row, the same way the platform marks any disabled item

One switch per filter instead of two -- Active or Inactive, matching the rules builder

Removed the separate Filter checkbox, which meant the same thing as the on switch

Help tooltips on a filter card no longer sit behind the toolbar

Plugin logo now displays correctly in the admin panel

Visibility Engine: Gate a search result now covers Member Listings -- one gate covers your member search page, all category pages and all location pages

Update dialog: after you replace a widget with an update, the confirmation now closes on its own and its button reliably closes it (no more dialog left sitting open). Visibility Engine help link now points to its Add-ons location.

VE rule builder: coded field values (member status 1-5, etc.) now show their meaning inline, e.g. '2 (Active)', instead of behind a hover tooltip.

VE rule editor: hover tooltips on condition value chips - Active status 1-5 show Not Active/Active/Canceled/On Hold/Past Due, plan-ID chips show plan name

VE rule editor: hover tooltips on condition value chips - member Active status codes 1-5 now show Not Active / Active / Canceled / On Hold / Past Due on hover; plan-ID chips show the plan name

Mobile: several buttons (Update All, Acknowledge updates, the search-box clear X, and others) could appear on mobile even when they should be hidden. They now stay hidden until actually needed — on mobile and desktop.

Browse Catalog: added an Order History link in the catalog header, with a count of how many products you own. Support: the Help Center link now opens the DirectoryCustomize help section (was the general help home).

Visibility Rules: the rule-group warning now updates live as you edit — it appears and clears the moment a condition changes, with no page refresh needed.

Updates that would overwrite changes made on your site now explain what differs and let you choose to keep or replace your version

Update All now separates widgets left unchanged for review from genuine failures

Visibility Engine: when you choose 'Custom URL' for a call-to-action destination, the URL box now appears directly beneath its own dropdown instead of over in the next column, so it is clear which setting it belongs to.

Visibility Engine call-to-action links now have a destination dropdown instead of a plain URL box: choose 'Log in - return to this page', 'Join / sign up - return to this page', 'Log in - go to dashboard', or enter your own custom URL. Applies to the button and help links on lock and cutoff messages, plus the contact and details buttons.

Members who log in from a visibility message are now returned to the page they were trying to view, instead of landing on their dashboard.

Acknowledge updates: the plugin itself is no longer counted in the badge, so it no longer sticks at 1 with no widget to acknowledge after a plugin update.

Visibility Engine: the 'Gate a post page' and 'Gate a search result' menus no longer stay open at the same time -- opening one now closes the other.

Acknowledge updates: the header count now matches the widgets you can actually acknowledge, so clearing them all reliably returns the count to zero.

Acknowledge updates: the header count now matches the widgets you can actually acknowledge (it previously also counted auto-updated widgets that showed no clickable pill), so clearing them all reliably returns the count to zero.

When a widget is updated automatically, it&rsquo;s now flagged with an <strong>Updated</strong> tag in My Widgets so you can see what changed since you last looked. Click the tag to view the changes, or use <strong>Acknowledge updates</strong> to clear them all

Visibility Engine &mdash; search-result gates now work like every other rule: each rule group picks its own verdict from the <strong>full list</strong> (Hide, Blur, Lock, Dim, Inert, Replace, Redirect, Badge) instead of just blur or hide, with the same per-verdict settings panel you get on a post page

&ldquo;Inject a block&rdquo; is now a verdict of its own, so you can keep every card visible and drop a DirectoryAds slot or your own HTML in at the gate

The gate panel now sets only <strong>where the gate falls</strong> (which cards, how many stay free) &mdash; what happens is the group&rsquo;s verdict. Existing gates are migrated automatically

Added the standard <strong>Restore defaults</strong> footer to the gate panel (resets the selector and gate position; your rule groups are left alone)

One gate per post type now covers <strong>both list and grid view</strong> &mdash; the separate grid option was removed because it targeted the wrong element

Fixed: post type names now read as plurals (&ldquo;all the events?&rdquo;), and result cards are described by their own post type instead of &ldquo;listings&rdquo;

Fixed: the &ldquo;Post action buttons&rdquo; setting no longer appears on search-result gates &mdash; those buttons only exist on post detail pages, so the control did nothing there

Visibility Engine &mdash; <strong>Gate a search result</strong> is now a post type dropdown, like Gate a post page: pick Events, Jobs, Properties and so on, and the gate applies only to that type&rsquo;s results page

All of the gate settings (which cards, how many stay free, cut off vs inject a block, and the call-to-action) now sit in the rule card itself, next to the visibility conditions &mdash; no more editing them in a small popup

New gates start scoped to the chosen post type and gated for logged-out visitors; List view / Grid view buttons fill in the card selector for you

Visibility Engine &mdash; rule cards can now be reordered: drag the grip, or use the up / down arrows in the card header, to group rules that affect the same part of your site together. The order is saved

Visibility Engine &mdash; &ldquo;Keep layout space&rdquo; moved onto the rule itself (set it when you add or edit a rule), so it also applies to rules that hide by default. The per-group checkbox stays for rules that only hide when a condition matches

A rule with no visibility groups is no longer flagged as a problem &mdash; that is a valid &ldquo;always applies&rdquo; rule, and the note now says so

Visibility Engine &mdash; new &ldquo;Keep layout space&rdquo; option on Hide rules: the element goes invisible but keeps its space, so hiding something in a results card no longer shifts or overlaps what is next to it

Export / Import now carries your visibility rules (previously only the simple settings came across)

Catalog Buy Now buttons now show a disabled state instead of a dead link when a checkout link is not available

Support: removed messaging about support tiers that are not yet available; all customers see Standard support via the Help Center

My Account: replaced external service quick links with a Help Center link

Support: Coming Soon video tutorials are no longer clickable until the videos are ready

Removed the misleading starting price label on single-price catalog items

Polish: clearer connection status wording and standard Developer Hub links

Corrected the DC VE Loader update history — a duplicate entry was showing the same note on two versions

Visibility Engine: reorder rule groups by drag handle or accent up/down buttons on the group header — group order sets which verdict wins first, and the controls are visually distinct from the per-condition arrows

Update reliability: the widget-update path now gets a 30-second budget instead of a blanket 8 seconds, so a slow-but-successful update no longer shows a false 'Update failed' message

My Widgets version history now loads each widget's changelog from the relay at open time, so a widget update surfaces its changelog without a plugin re-push (baked changelog kept as offline fallback)

VE Rules: field picker now also reads BD form-field definitions (form_fields), not just data_posts columns - surfaces custom fields that exist in a form but have no materialized column (e.g. c4g_post_restrictions), and carries their value choices. Additive + guarded; existing column fields unchanged

VE Rules: field-help info icon is now a hover tooltip (dark, matches toast styling) instead of click-to-toast; no native browser tooltip

VE Rules: field-help info icon now opens the standard toast on click (removed the leftover native browser tooltip that showed 'What is this?')

VE Rules: field-refresh info icon now opens the standard toast (was a native browser tooltip); the Refresh fields line is absolute-positioned below the row so the field/operator dropdowns stay aligned

VE Rules: moved the field-refresh control to sit directly under the pick-a-field dropdown as a labeled 'Refresh fields' link with an info icon explaining it, instead of a bare icon wedged between the field and operator dropdowns

VE Rules: added an inline refresh icon next to each pick-a-field dropdown so you can reload the custom-field list right where you pick it (after adding a field in Form Manager), instead of only from the bottom toolbar

Clean up the Updates changelog: removed a duplicate version entry that showed the current version number with stale bullets; the Updates list now shows each version once and the Current badge moves to the newest release automatically

Visibility Rules: the pick-a-field menu now refreshes when you open the Rules tab (plus a Refresh fields link), so newly-created custom fields appear without reloading the page

Emoji in CTA and rule text are now stored safely so they survive re-saves (previously emoji could turn into question marks after editing)

Visibility Rules: each rule card now has an Active on/off toggle to turn a whole rule off without deleting it; you can keep multiple rules per target and switch which one is active

Redirect-on-click verdict relabeled to make clear it covers embedded video and iframes

Fix VE rules value input not triggering autosave

Fix field picker dropdown for single-value fields

Add save toast notification for VE rules

Redesign preset system with active-preset tracking

Custom field rules: admins can now create VE rules based on any custom field from the viewed post or the logged-in viewer profile

Field picker loads available fields and their options from the site automatically

VE settings now fully clear the site cache before showing the Saved confirmation, so changes appear on the first page refresh instead of requiring two refreshes

Post button treatment: Contact Member / More Details buttons on post detail pages can be hidden, dimmed, disabled, or renamed+redirected per rule group. Shared renderPostBtnTreatment() used by both lock and cutoff verdicts. Button radius unified to 8px across card and button.

Fix VE loader changelog: add v0.4.1 entry, merge duplicate v0.3.5, correct sort order (newest first). Add dc-ve-loader to relay slugToBdWidgetName map. Add rule priority note when 2+ groups enabled.

Rule priority note: shows Order matters banner when 2+ enabled rule groups exist on a card

Add cutoff verdict for post detail pages: cutoff element picker, char limit, CTA card fields in verdict customizer panel

Custom badge: use BD_WIDGET_CATALOG (510 names) instead of prefix matching for reliable BD vs Custom detection

Add Custom badge (amber) for client-built widgets in VE Rules. Add Bootstrap utility classes to generic reject list so picker never picks them as native selectors.

VE plan picker: show ALL plans including non-searchable (Nonprofit etc). Non-searchable plans tagged with 'no profile' label so admin knows they exist but have no public listing.

Fix rule card header: nowrap prevents delete button wrapping, lighter label text for readability on dark bg. Add inert/replace/redirect to post_page scope.

VE Rules: dark navy card headers with white text for high visibility. Remove sticky (toolbar already floats).

VE Rules: prominent sticky card headers with gradient background, larger font, and bold weight so rule names stand out when scrolling

Fix broken regex: use POSIX character classes instead of backslash escapes in dc_ve_is_visible

Fix widget picker: detect PHP echo widget() and echo HTML patterns as visible widgets. Fixes Report This Post and similar pure-PHP widgets not appearing in picker.

Fix cache bust: always bust widget + consumer caches on save regardless of fields_changed count. Remove badge from post_page scope.

Post page rules: clearer action labels (Hide/Blur/Lock), post_page scope limits to relevant verdicts only, remove show/show_full/cutoff options from post page dropdown

Add Gate a Post Page dropdown in Rules tab toolbar. 14 post types with icons. Auto-creates lock rule for logged-out visitors. Page rules show blue Page badge, post-type icon, and are deletable.

Fix mojibake middle dot in Updates stats. Remove debug console.logs.

Hide Header Buttons and Phone Display groups when Mode is Paywall using direct jQuery toggle on data-group attribute

Debug negate evaluator: add console.log to trace show_when !paywall check

Fix banner injection: prepend to settings body instead of searching for Mode element

Consolidate v1.23.423-430 changelog entries into proper bullets

Debug banner: add console.log to trace CONFIG.widgetSettings data flow. Fix changelog word-splitting in push-plugin.js.

Fix VE settings not persisting: switch to widget_settings storage so saved values stick across page reloads

Add configurable Help link text on CTA card (replaces hardcoded Log In)

Rename Login labels to Help labels throughout CTA settings

Add rules-override warning banner below Mode dropdown when Visibility Rules are active

Hide Header Buttons and Phone Display groups when Mode is Paywall (not visible behind blur)

Add negation support to show_when conditional fields

VE condition builder: checkbox pills for in/not_in operators on day_of_week and time_of_day (no more raw numbers)

VE condition builder: dual dropdowns for between operator on ordinal keys (no more comma-separated guessing)

VE value hints: ordinal keys show human labels below text inputs (day_of_week shows Mon-Fri, time_of_day shows AM/PM)

VE presets button moved per-card next to Add rule group for unambiguous targeting

VE Rule Presets picker: one-click pre-built rule templates

Fixed 30+ stale WIDGET_SCHEMAS version fields, added check-version-drift.js pre-push gate

Move Visibility Engine settings from Plugin Settings tab to the VE widget Configure panel (correct architecture)

Plugin Settings tab now only houses plugin-level config (BD key, notifications); per-widget config lives in the widget Configure panel

PHP injects veConfig + vePlans into CONFIG for the JS panel

Phase 6 + ESR settings-out-of-code completion: storage:'widget_settings' flag added to all 30 schemas (29 post-type containers + events-card-style). Combined with the widget-side reader (already pushed), customer settings on these widgets now FLOW through widget_settings JSON for both READ and WRITE. Net result: Revert/Reinstall no longer wipes customer customizations on any of the 35+ migrated widgets. Phases 1-6 of migration complete.

My Widgets: added WIDGET_SCHEMAS entries for visibility-engine + member-profile VE info card

VE widget now appears as a proper row in My Widgets with description pointing to Settings tab

VE engine v0.1: rule-based show/hide/blur evaluator

Per-widget visibility rules in widget_settings.widgets[slug] (groups, conditions, AND/OR)

Admin: Visibility Rules JSON textarea for advanced rule authoring (visual builder TBD)

VE paywall mode: full profile blurred with CTA overlay (alternative to replace mode)

VE settings: teaser style dropdown (replace vs paywall), per-plan mode override

Member-profile widget v2.2.0 applies paywall styling when mode=paywall

Per-plan teaser customization (Visibility Engine)

VE settings: dropdown to override any teaser field per membership plan, empty fields inherit defaults

Member-profile widget: applies plan-specific overrides based on viewed member subscription_id

Visibility Engine admin settings panel (profile teaser config)

VE settings: enable/disable, CTA heading/text/button, login text/URL, about char limit

ve_config action handler for saving VE settings to widget_settings JSON

VE rules visual polish: (1) Joiner between sibling items in same group — small colored AND/OR pill centered on a dashed line, makes the boundary between conditions obvious and reinforces which op joins them. (2) Completed help text on 'Per-widget cards' — now explains that each consuming widget gets its own rule card (today only member-profile; Phase 2e+ will add member-email-reveal, search-results, etc.) with same UI but separate rule storage per widget.

VE rules tree add buttons converted to single-click colored pill (Simplero pattern). Bottom of each group now shows two pills: blue AND + green OR. Clicking the one matching this level's op adds a plain sibling condition; clicking the opposite op adds a condition wrapped in a nested sub-group at the opposite-op level. No more two-click 'pick op then click add group' flow — single click both declares the operator AND inserts the condition. Old 'Add condition' / 'Add nested group' default buttons replaced.

VE rules root operator now customer-pickable. Root level shows the AND/OR pill toggle (blue active = AND, green active = OR); nested levels alternate FROM the root choice (root=AND → nested OR → nested AND; root=OR → nested AND → nested OR). opForDepth + normalizeTreeOpByDepth now take rootOp param to seed the alternation. Migration on load reads existing tree.op as the seed, preserving semantics of rules saved before this refactor. Add-nested-group label updates dynamically based on the root choice. Help tooltip on nested levels mentions that root pick flips the whole pattern.

VE test panel layout — 3rd attempt. CSS grid auto-fill (#1) and flex-wrap with calc widths (#2) both failed under BD admin's width context. Replaced with dead-simple stacked block layout: each field is its own block row with label above + full-width input (capped at 420px). No grid math, no flex shrinking, no horizontal escape possible.

VE rule-builder Pass 2 — nested AND/OR groups (Simplero-style). Each group's flat conditions+op replaced with a recursive tree. Top-level node has an ALL/ANY pill toggle and lists items; each item is either a condition or another nested group (up to 3 levels deep). Add Condition + Add Nested Group buttons at every level. Visual nesting via depth-tinted left borders. Backward compat: old flat-shape rules migrated to single-level tree on load (idempotent), engine reads both shapes. All mutations go through path-based handlers (data-path attributes addressing tree items by index).

VE rule-builder UX pass 1: (1) Pencil icon → 'Override' button with label so the affordance is obvious; (2) Operator dropdown now FILTERED per key value-type — Auth/Role/Device/Page show only equality + emptiness ops (the only ones that make sense for enums), numeric keys add > < >= <= and drop substring ops, text keys add contains/starts_with/ends_with and drop numeric. Saved op auto-resets to == if no longer applicable when key changes. (3) Header clarifies that verdicts are consumer-interpreted (today: member-profile only; more consumers in Phase 2e+).

VE Rule builder value-input is now context-aware: enum keys (auth, viewer_role, page_type, device, time_of_day, day_of_week) render as a dropdown with human-readable labels (e.g. 'Logged in' instead of asking client to type 'logged_in'); numeric keys (viewer_plan, viewed_plan, viewed_listing_age_days) render as a number input; text keys (path, referrer) keep the free-text field. Per-condition Advanced toggle (pencil icon) flips an enum picker into raw text mode for power users or non-standard values. CSV operators (in/not_in) + substring operators on enum keys auto-force text mode since a single-value picker can't represent them. Switching to a key with a different value-type clears the value so an enum string doesn't get sent as a numeric.

Highlighter Configure panel now also shows the Highlighter style picker dropdown (appears when CTA toggle on) — mirrors VE's exact picker with same options + same gating + linkedField so any style choice propagates to VE.

Added KNOWN_BD_NAMES hardcoded lookup as fallback when CONFIG.detectedWidgets is missing/incomplete for a slug. This was likely the root cause of VE storage falling out of sync with Highlighter — when Highlighter saved and tried to propagate to VE, resolveWidgetName returned the literal slug 'visibility-engine' which BD does not recognize as a widget_name, so apply_config silently failed and VE storage stayed stale. Now Highlighter→VE propagation correctly resolves to 'Bootstrap Theme - Visibility Engine'.

Highlighter CTA toggle relabeled — 'sign-up button' is wrong, the effect actually applies to the whole sign-up call to action box. Updated toggle label + help text + style picker label.

Integration card layout: removed visible help text under each toggle (was breaking the 2-col grid by forcing single-column stacking). Each toggle label now gets the standard ?-hover icon — same affordance as other parts of the plugin. Toggle-row hover background contained to its grid cell so it does not bleed past the panel edge anymore.

Integration card help descriptions now actually visible — the !important + stronger selector beats the global '.ss-dc-subgroup .ss-dc-settings-help { display: none }' rule that was defined later in the file and silently winning by source-order specificity.

Highlighter integration tab toggle relabeled: 'Keep highlighted tabs visible when hiding tabs' (was 'Lift highlighted tabs above the fade' — wrong mental model). The behavior now PROTECTS marked tabs from the Tabs=Hide removal sweep so they stay visible in the nav (paired with member-profile v3.11.2).

Highlighter style picker now lists Highlighter's ACTUAL animation classes (Pulse glow / Gentle throb / Shimmer sweep / Bounce on hover / Underline fill / Corner ribbon) — previous list had invented names like 'pulse' / 'bounce' that didn't map to any real CSS class. Values are now the literal dc-anim-* class names, JS validates with regex and applies directly.

Per-Plan Customization fields now have a clickable 'Reset to blank' link next to each label (replaces the static '(empty = inherit)' note). Click clears that field for the selected plan and triggers autosave — matches the 'Restore Default' UX from schema-driven fields elsewhere in the plugin.

Integration cards restructured — each partner integration is now a proper subgroup card with the bonus pill as the subgroup header, all related toggles + sub-options nest INSIDE one card (no more standalone style picker dangling below). Highlighter card has two distinct toggles (Lift tabs / Apply CTA effect) — separate features, not collapsed into one. DirectoryAds card always renders (upsell visible regardless of paywall mode). Locked state: when partner not installed the entire card body becomes a single Coming Soon Unlock pill.

Cleaned up VE integration toggles — removed Verified Badge / Online Status / DirectoryAds (redundant or unbuilt). Highlighter integration reframed as 'Lift highlighted tabs above the fade' (only shows when cutoff mode is on); actualized in member-profile v3.10.0 — Highlighter-marked tabs (.dc-spotlight) are reproduced as a Unlock-to-see teaser pill row above the fade, so logged-out viewers see WHICH premium tabs they would unlock.

Subdue Unlock {Partner} integration buttons — no real purchase flow wired yet, so render as disabled gray pill with 'Coming Soon' label + tooltip instead of active purple CTA. Promise-no-checkout rule. Tracked in plugin backlog under 'Wire Unlock CTA to real purchase flow' (unblocked by Simplero purchase-flow integration).

Integration toggles now ALWAYS render — when partner widget is not installed, the field controls swap for a description + prominent purple Unlock {Partner} button (drives ecosystem discovery + upsell). Pill switches to gray Locked tone. Removed _widget_installed: show_when gates from VE integration toggles since renderField now handles the locked state automatically. Standard pattern documented in COMPONENTS-CATALOG

Design tab icon parity — Color Overrides h5 gets fa-paint-brush, Typography h5 gets fa-font, every per-colorGroup and per-fontGroup h6 gets a matching icon (CTA card / Sign-up button / Quote section / Paywall mode etc. each have semantic icons). Same group-icon standard now applies on Design tab as on Settings tab. Bonus: COLOR_GROUP_ICONS + FONT_GROUP_ICONS maps with schema.colorGroupIcons / schema.fontGroupIcons override path. Also: Color Overrides search filter relabeled to Search color fields by name… with a title-attr tooltip clarifying it does not edit anything (was confusing as a top-of-section input)

Bonus integration visual treatment — any field with crossWidgetLink now auto-decorates with violet/pink gradient left-accent + subtle background tint + Bonus integration · PartnerName pill above the label. Admin recognizes cross-plugin fields at a glance without having to read help text. Auto-applied — no schema work needed beyond declaring crossWidgetLink (already required for cross-plugin pattern)

Cross-plugin integration infra — synthetic _widget_installed:slug / _widget_active:slug show_when keys, crossWidgetLink schema property for jump-to-other-widget buttons, integrations group with puzzle-piece icon. VE schema adds 4 integration toggles (Highlighter / Verified Badge / Online Status / DirectoryAds) each gated by partner detection. Member-profile emits the consuming data attrs. Documented as a standard pattern in COMPONENTS-CATALOG so future widgets follow the same shape

Settings group headers now ALWAYS have a FontAwesome icon prefix — standard across all widgets. Built-in groupIcons map covers all 25 standard group keys (general/cta/cutoff/colors/fonts/access/buttons/etc.). Schema can override per-widget via schema.groupIcons={...}. Eliminates bare-text headers — sections are visually distinct at a glance

Per-plan customization now autosaves like the rest of the plugin (1.5s debounce on any input/select/textarea change). Removed explicit Save per-plan overrides button. Footer row: autosave status indicator on the left + red Clear overrides button on the right (was a tiny red link before — now a proper button with destructive styling). Same save path as before, just triggered automatically + status flows into the inline indicator instead of a separate Saved toast

show_when now accepts an array of conditions (AND-ed) — VE About text char limit now uses ssMode=cutoff AND ssCutoffElement=after_about so the field only appears when both apply (was visible whenever any cutoff option was picked, with a parenthetical label hint that confused). General feature reusable across any widget — single-condition syntax still works as before

VE v3.6.0 + member-profile v3.8.0 — restore After Tab Nav cutoff (fades tab content not entire .tab-content area) + replace ssHideOtherTabs boolean with ssTabsMode 4-option select matching the header button treatment pattern

VE design picker persistence — added 3 hidden internal fields to schema (ssDesign/ssDesignTint/ssUnlockedDesigns) so apply_config has targets to str_replace into

Per-plan customization: Mode dropdown updated to match top-level options (Buttons only / Cutoff & Fade / Paywall) — old 'Replace' option dropped (mode was removed in VE v3.0)

Color design presets now apply to VE CTA card too — added ssD* field mappings inside buildPalette so the same palette object drives both ESR card fields AND VE's sign-up button + card colors. Pick any preset on the VE Design tab and the button bg/text/heading/subtitle/link colors update from the same source. Auto-fallback to dark button text when primary color is too light for white text (AA contrast)

VE schema — pair text+URL fields side-by-side via row: property to cut vertical scroll. CTA Button text+URL on one row, Login prompt text+URL on the next, Phone Replacement text+URL paired too. Uses existing ss-dc-inline-row flex layout (50/50 split)

VE schema v3.3.0 — added Buttons-only mode (lightest touch: rewrites header buttons + phone display only, profile fully visible, no cutoff/fade/paywall/CTA). Default sign-up URL changed from /sign-up to /join across all 6 button overrides + phone replacement (BD standard going forward). Cutoff-only fields hide via show_when under non-cutoff modes

Click-to-call addon support in member-profile v3.5.1 — addon wraps See Phone in a span with toggleable .myphoneHide reveals containing tel: links. Old selector .a.author-phone never matched on click-to-call sites so phone digits stayed visible. JS now covers both span and anchor variants; mask/replace modes strip the addon's tel: links and neutralize its click toggles

Header Buttons section now lays out the 3 per-button override pairs (Send Message / See Phone / Write Review) in a 3-column grid via subgroup wrappers — cuts vertical scroll in roughly thirds. Mode dropdown stays full-width above. Empty subgroup wrappers auto-hide when their conditional fields are all hidden (e.g. when mode is dim/disable/hide, no empty bordered boxes show). Field labels shortened to Text/URL since the subgroup header already identifies which button

Phone NUMBER display override (separate from header See Phone reveal button). Targets .table-display-phone row in profile body with show/hide/mask/replace modes. Common pattern: header button as sign-up CTA + body digits hidden so logged-out viewers cannot read the actual number

VE schema v3.1.0 — re-added CTA overlay typography (heading/subtitle/button family/size/weight). Per-button text/URL fields now show_when:override_text so dim/disable/hide modes stand out cleanly. Added optionStyle:'weight' general field property so weight selects render each option in its own weight (visual preview in dropdown). Applied retroactively to existing weight selects on ESR (4 fields) + Highlighter + email-reveal. Also added optionStyle:'family' for the font family dropdowns

VE schema v3.0 architecture rewrite: cutoff/fade + paywall (drop replace). Render BD native profile + overlay/cutoff on top instead of reinventing teaser elements. Schema fields: ssCutoffElement (header_only / after_quote / after_about / after_first_tab), ssCutoffAboutChars, ssHeaderBtnMode (none/dim/disable/override_text/hide) + per-button Send Message / See Phone / Write Review text+URL overrides. Removed 15 typography fields, 5 quote color fields, ssAboutChars, ssDQuoteShow/Italic, ssDDimOpacity. Wired with member-profile v3.3.1 which reads window.dcVE JS config + applies cutoff via JS + button overrides via JS+CSS data-attr

Visual_select preview now stacks a large heading sample over a small body line under the SAME filter wrapper — matches how real pages apply blur (filter on a wrapping container, not per element) so the user can preview heading vs body legibility at each level. VE paywall picker uses Sample Member + About me body

Visual_select saved-state pill — after clicking a preset card, an amber Saving (Xpx)... pill appears immediately and flips to green Saved (Xpx) once the autosave round-trip completes. Eliminates the did-my-click-commit ambiguity inherent to hidden-input designs

Alpha slider tint update — switched from jQuery .css() to native setProperty for --ss-alpha-color CSS custom property. Older jQuery silently dropped the leading -- on custom-property writes so the slider track gradient stayed at the old color even though the picker/text updated correctly

Cross-widget cache bust — added explicit console log per consumer + second bustSiteCache after consumer busts settle (closes the race where the first site-cache flush fires BEFORE the consumer re-render request lands, leaving page cache serving stale HTML)

Design tab — color grid now centers items vertically so boolean toggles align with the visual midline of adjacent color pickers (no more floating-at-top toggles)

Design tab — visual_select fields (preset preview cards) now span the full grid row so the 3 cards render side-by-side instead of wrapping vertically into a 160px column

VE schema — Quote section booleans (Show / Italic) reordered to be adjacent so they land in the same grid row as a compact toggle pair

VE migrated to standard str_replace storage (option A) — every widget now uses the same single storage pattern. Field keys renamed to ssEnabled/ssMode/ssDCardBg/... per the ss* convention

Removed storage:widget_settings flag from VE schema. apply_config branches and loadSettings branches for storage:widget_settings remain in place as scaffolding (no widget currently uses them — kept for any future widget that genuinely needs catastrophic-loss JSON storage like the 4 BD client keys)

VE Design tab: 19 design fields (CTA card bg/border/radius/shadow, headline/subtitle/link colors, button bg/text/size/radius, quote bg/text/border/italic toggle, header buttons dim level, paywall blur intensity)

VE schema bumped to v1.2.0; tabs now ['settings','design']; design fields use group:'colors' to auto-route to Design tab via standard renderer

VE enable: replaced non-standard ss-dc-checkbox with the standard ss-dc-toggle slider pattern (matches every other on/off feature toggle in the plugin)

Annotated standard UI element vocabulary at renderField(). Every other widget uses type:boolean which auto-renders as the toggle slider; VE was hand-rolling its own checkbox

Visibility Engine changelog populated for v1.0.0 (drop-in PHP engine, 22 rule types) and v1.1.0 (admin UI engine with mode/per-plan/rules in Settings panel)

WIDGET_SCHEMAS visibility-engine version synced 1.0.0 → 1.1.0 so installed matches latest

Support tier display: clarified that all customers receive Standard support through the Help Center and support tickets

Schedule a Call link disabled with Coming Soon label (premium tiers not yet available)

Support Center renamed to Help Center, points to directoryhelpdesk.com

Support tab: replaced 11 GitBook help links with Simplero HelpDesk pages on directoryhelpdesk.com (Quick Start, Installing First Widget, Dashboard, Auto-Updates, Homepage Search, Event Cards, Custom Configuration, All Customize Guides index)

Schema Markup link replaced with All Customize Guides index since no dedicated schema page exists yet

Video Tutorials column unchanged (still Coming Soon, linked to Simplero video tutorials placeholder page)

Removed CommandBar SDK + boot block — onboarding/nudge tool was tied to GitBook docs which we are no longer using

Highlighter conditional fields: Ribbon text now hidden unless Animation = Corner ribbon. Allowed plans now hidden unless Click-through access = Specific plans only

Discovered existing show_when property in DC renderer (line 4793 listener + line 8378 wrapper) — same pattern Member Email Reveal paid_plan_ids uses. Documented in Components Catalog.

Highlighter: registered ssHlVisibilityPlans + ssHlClickPlans in widgetConfig.getTaxonomyKey() map (line 5924). Without this, the type:'ids' picker couldn't resolve the field to the 'plans' taxonomy bucket and showed 'No items available yet'. Same one-line registration the existing ssVerifyPlans / ssUnverifyPlans fields use.

Highlighter: switched ssHlVisibilityPlans + ssHlClickPlans from text → 'ids' field type. Now uses the existing multi-select plan picker (same component as Auto Verify Settings)

Moved 'Pill style' adjacent to 'Extract (N) as a separate pill' so the relationship is visible in admin UI

Added an internal components catalog documenting reusable field types so future feature builds do not re-invent

Highlighter icon picker upgrade: replaced single text field with two specialized fields — ssHlIconFa uses type:icon (FA grid picker, 786 icons, matches Verified Badge / Reveal Button pattern), ssHlIconEmoji uses text input with curated emoji examples in help text

Help text emoji examples use \u{XXXX} unicode escapes in source so plugin JS stays pure ASCII at storage time (avoids BD data_widgets 4-byte UTF-8 column corruption)

Highlighter: hide Debug mode toggle from client-facing settings (was a developer tool, doesn't belong in admin UI). Field type changed boolean → hidden, group changed display → internal. Devs flip $ssHlDebugMode in the widget code directly when troubleshooting.

Highlighter checklist completion: SLUG_MAP entry mapping BD-slugified name 'bootstrap-theme-member-profile-member-tabs-lazyload' to canonical 'member-profile-member-tabs-lazyload' so My Widgets panel grouping picks it up

renderPreview() case added with inline-style preview of the spotlighted tab (mock 4-tab nav with animation + icon + count pill + colors driven by current cfg values)

updatePreview colorMap entries deferred to Stage 2 — preview uses inline styles, live updates require re-render not CSS-var binding (acceptable tradeoff for Stage 1)

Highlighter feature: added codeTargets mapping to member-profile-member-tabs-lazyload widget so the feature shows up as a grouped row in My Widgets panel (parity with Verified Badge / Member Email Reveal grouping pattern)

Highlighter dropdown: replaced emoji icons (4-byte UTF-8) with text-only labels — emojis were causing column-encoding mojibake on BD's data_widgets storage, corrupting nearby characters like the version-arrow → in the update banner

Add Highlighter feature settings panel — Stage 1 ships Tab + Custom CSS Selector targeting

Animation library: pulse-glow, gentle-throb, shimmer-sweep, bounce-once, underline-fill, corner-ribbon

Tab radius is top-only (rounded top + flat bottom) preserving the tab-sits-flush metaphor

Override of Bootstrap Theme - Member Profile - Member Tabs lazyLoad widget — DC Highlighter runtime appended additively (BD logic preserved 100%)

add Profile Overview Tab to member-email-reveal codeTargets system group

add Expand All / Collapse All pills to My Widgets panel header for accordion groups; add @slug required warning in Override tab PHP section when widget uses slug annotation

add fallback slug map in DC PHP for renamed member-email widgets — resolves canonical slug even if @slug annotation absent from deployed code

add @slug annotation support: DC PHP now reads /** @slug canonical-slug */ from widget code headers, letting BD widget names be renamed freely without breaking slug detection — add @slug to member-email-* widgets; rename BD widgets to System - Component format

My Widgets: group multi-widget systems under collapsible header rows (system name, widget count, Configure button); system sub-rows show codeTargets label instead of raw slug; add Verified Badge system (Search Results + Profile Page); all systems expanded by default

code tabs: add widget target selector dropdown for multi-widget systems; member-email-reveal Inject/Override tabs now let you pick Reveal Button, Email Display, or Profile Form Fields — code loads and saves per selected widget

clean changelog: remove internal tooling entries from v1.23.294 and v1.23.295 (no user-facing changes)

Design tab tint slider: disabled with grayed styling and 'Not available with Custom Design' badge when Custom preset is active; updates live on preset switch; applies to all widgets

member-email-reveal: add paletteMap so applying a design preset (Bootstrap, Shoreline, Bright) automatically populates Design tab color fields from the site palette; applyDesignPalette updated to read schema.paletteMap for any widget

member-email-reveal Design tab: split text/border colors into 6 separate color pickers (2 rows of 3), convert shape/typography fields to visual selects (border radius, border width, font size, font weight), add shadow color picker + size preset select, add Google Fonts picker; preview and PHP CSS generator updated to match

Design tab correct pattern — tabs+design, group:colors+colorGroup, row compression for color/shape/typography fields

Design tab for Member Email Display — button color, border, radius, width, font, shadow, hover; live preview reflects design values instantly

auto-clear BD site cache after every apply_config save — no more manual Refresh Live Site needed

add row_position select to Member Email Display config panel; dispatched alongside row_label on save

Split Custom Code tab into Inject and Override tabs

Override tab: replaces entire widget when any override field has content

Override active indicator and dependency warnings added

dc-listings-header bumped to v1.3.10 with override guard support

Listings Header: separate Grid, List, and Map toggle controls (boolean toggles matching ESR style); BD bundles grid+list into one add-on so CSS hides the disabled one

Listings Header: configurable grid/list and map toggle visibility — disable our toggle when client has a custom toggle widget elsewhere

Custom Code tab: add Custom PHP/HTML field — raw output, no wrapping tags; all 32 widgets updated with $ssCustomHTML config var

Hide empty Settings tab on widgets with no configurable fields — Custom Code loads as first/only tab for containers

Custom Code tab: add hint text below labels (no style/script tags needed); auto-strip wrapping tags on save if pasted

New Custom Code tab: per-widget CSS/JS editor that persists across widget updates; available on all widgets including containers

Added $ssCustomCSS and $ssCustomJS config fields to 32 widgets (all dc-* containers + ESR + events-card-style)

Add Reinstall action to My Widgets — force re-download latest code from relay even when version shows UP TO DATE

ESR Settings: rename 'settings' group to 'Image Settings'; move image show/hide toggle into Image Settings alongside default image URL

Sync ESR v2.4.41 changelog — horizontal card image locked to 16:9

release.js now updates demo site installed_version in relay registry so Matrix shows correct version after every release

Live preview now reflects border radius and font settings — colorMap wired for ssCardRadius/ssBadgeRadius/ssTagRadius/ssBtnRadius; OSB badge preview applies font size, weight, and corner radius

Registry incomplete warning suppressed on admin/demo site; OSB Design tab adds badge text size, weight, and corner radius controls

Shape presets wired into all design presets — each design now applies matching border radius personality (sharp/tight/slight/soft/standard/pill) when selected

My Widgets: add Update All button to topbar showing outdated count; Dashboard: add Update All link in updates alert

Design rotate/tint UX: yellow Preview pill + throbbing Apply button when changes are unsaved (rotate or tint preview without Apply)

Fix WIDGET_SCHEMAS fallback version for dc-listings-header

Remove Admin/Demo Mode toggle handler from Settings tab

Remove Admin/Demo Mode panel from Settings tab — admin mode now controlled from admin dashboard only

Lock non-default card layouts by default; unlock via admin mode or client registry unlocked_layouts

Settings: Admin Mode panel hidden from clients — only renders when ssIsAdmin is active

Settings: Admin Mode permanent toggle — saves ssIsAdmin to widget_settings so all designs stay unlocked without cookie expiry

Auto-update: restore cascade logic — global ON forces all individual toggles ON visually; turning individual OFF while global ON shows confirmation popup then turns off master toggle

Fix: badge shows No Ping (not Outdated) when ping is stale; fix ctx.waitUntil for ping KV write

Remove stale layout-changes copy from initial connection failure banner

Fix push script: remove ssRelayUrl from per-client preservation whitelist — system constant not per-client

Push script now auto-publishes to relay KV + updates all client registries on master site pushes — no more dark deploys

Updates tab filters: standardized to match My Widgets — single All chip, inline labels, click-to-deselect

My Widgets filters: click-to-deselect toggle on active chips, auto-restore All when nothing selected

Push script: per-client value preservation changed from catch-all to explicit whitelist — prevents $ssVersion and other code variables from being overwritten

Push script: sibling version sync check — blocks push if PHP/CSS/JS @version values differ

DC Events Loop v2.2.0 — list view: fixed card height, 16:9 images, container query layout

DC Events Loop WIDGET_SCHEMAS updated with config fields and version tracking

$ssDefaultImage added to per-client preserved variables for event default images

Updates tab toolbar: summary div fills remaining left-column height, matching My Widgets flex pattern

Updates tab filters: standardized to match My Widgets — single All chip, inline "Filter:" and "Area:" labels, click-to-deselect toggle

My Widgets filters: added click-to-deselect — clicking an active chip toggles it off, falls back to All when nothing selected

Updates tab toolbar: align-items stretch with summary flex grow — no gap below search

Dashboard update badge now uses resolveSlug — counts widget updates correctly for all slug formats

Widget tab also updates badge count — badge shows even when navigating directly to My Widgets

Version audit: aligned BD name maps across relay, push scripts, and release scripts — 37 widgets fully consistent

Relay: added homepage-search-* prefix to override whitelist — first-push no longer blocked

Relay: fixed auto-member-verify BD name casing mismatch

Updates tab left column gap fix — summary box fills remaining height without stretching filter area

In-app widget update now persists installed_version to relay registry — prevents phantom "update available" on refresh

Dashboard update count uses WIDGET_SCHEMAS version (same source as widget table) — eliminates count mismatch

Registry health check on dashboard load — warns when a site has no registry data

Revert button hidden when no valid backup exists — no more clicking to get an error

Updates tab: Filter by Type chips (Feature, Fix, Update, Performance) with counts

Updates tab: version count summary box (222 Versions with type breakdown)

Activity feed dates: added right padding for scrollbar breathing room

Configure button fix — containers with no configurable fields now show dash instead of Configure

hasConfigurableFields check filters out _info-only schemas and empty field arrays

Push script now defaults to demo/master site — no more hardcoded client sites

Push script updates ALL client registries on every push — eliminates stale latest_version

Widget table version comparison now uses WIDGET_SCHEMAS as authoritative source

Container widgets accordion — active containers (Listings Header, Member Profile) separated from placeholders

Widget table uses relay as authoritative data source — PHP scan supplements with install metadata only

Auto Member Verify: MySQL trigger approach — BEFORE INSERT/UPDATE triggers for automatic verified status

Bulk Status Correction scan and fix based on plan rules

Online Status Badge: own preview panel with search result card and profile page demos

Verified Badge and Verified Badge Profile: initial release with configurable icon, text, and colors

WIDGET_SCHEMAS: added all container widgets (header/loop/footer for 10 post types)

Widget table slug resolution — resolveSlug maps BD-form slugs to canonical short form

SLUG_MAP covers all 30 DC container widgets

Heartbeat and connection status improvements

Offline mode banner with clear messaging on what still works

Design presets: Apply/Preview separation — preview is non-destructive, Apply commits to relay

Design Apply button throbs amber when previewing a different design — visual prompt to commit

Design preset selection (ssDesign/ssDesignTint) now persists for OSB, verified badge, and verified badge profile

Client keys (relay, BD API) now stored in widget_settings DB column — survive code pushes without extraction/injection

Design presets now apply to all widget types (OSB badge, verified badge, verified badge profile)

Fix Settings tab help text (removed fake welcome email reference)

Design unlock is now global per client (reads from registry, not per-widget config)

Fix per-client key preservation — push no longer overwrites relay/BD API keys with demo defaults

Fix admin flag — clients default to non-admin, no longer inherit demo site admin mode

Fix: localStorage overrides relay config on load — most recent local save wins over stale relay data

Add missing changelog entries for v1.23.116-121

Fix: settings now save immediately on Apply (no more 1.5s delay race condition)

Fix: pending saves flush on panel close — settings persist across reopen

Fix: config reads from local cache when relay backup is empty

Fix: apply_config runs directly without relay dependency
