Selfish Fresh Start

گزارش تغییرات

1.3.0

Release Date – 2026-08-19

First update in a long while. The plugin was rebuilt against modern WordPress: every hook was re-checked against core, dead code was dropped, and the parts that touch your site’s data were tightened up.

Compatibility

• tested up to WordPress 7.1
• now requires WordPress 7.0 or newer, and PHP 7.4. WordPress 7.0 is the first release whose own minimum is PHP 7.4, so the two line up.
• dropped the wlwmanifest_link and adjacent-posts rel unhooks; core removed both before 6.8

Fixed

• the curly quote cleanup no longer corrupts non-Latin text. The Windows-1252 pass worked on raw bytes, and those same bytes are valid inside multi-byte UTF-8 characters, so saving a post containing Cyrillic, CJK, emoji or accented characters could mangle it. That pass now only runs on content that is not already valid UTF-8.
• stripping #more- from the more link no longer throws a notice on an undefined variable
• self-ping detection compares URL hosts instead of matching string prefixes
• post and page metabox removal runs on add_meta_boxes_{type}, after core registers the boxes, so it actually takes effect
• DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT is defined as a real boolean at plugin load, before menus and capability checks run

Security and safety

• admin-only hooks no longer register on the frontend
• ping and trackback options are written only by users with manage_options, and only on admin_init or activation, never on a public request
• Hello Dolly is deactivated before deletion, and files are only deleted when the filesystem method is direct, so an admin page can never be replaced by a credentials form
• Hello Dolly removal now covers both a bundled hello.php and the hello-dolly plugin directory

Changed

• also strips the shortlink HTTP header, not just the tag in the head
• jquery-migrate is dropped from the frontend jquery handle; wp-admin is unchanged
• no longer forces use_smilies off
• dashboard widget removal is scoped to the dashboard screen, in both the normal and side contexts
• core dashboard widget ids and contexts re-verified against WP 7.1; quick draft and events and news are still the ones removed
• third-party dashboard widgets removed: yoast seo, the events calendar news, all in one seo news
• Gravity Forms and Jetpack Stats dashboard widgets are now left alone
• dropped dead widget ids that no longer exist: WP Socializer, W3 Total Cache news, bbPress Right Now, Thesis news, and the old all in one seo feed id

1.2.0

Release Date – 2017-11-14

• tested up to WP 4.9
• removed the removing of old IM profile fields that have been deprecated
• removed the removing of old dashboard widgets that have been merged or deprecated
• updated the minimum required version of WP to 4.0 due to the deprecated widgets
• removed, by request, another news rss feed dashboard box; this one from moderntribe plugins

1.1.0

Release Date – 2017-03-21

• new super duper plugin image assets for wp repo
• tested up to WP 4.7.3
• removed a couple deprecated calls but they didn’t cause problems

1.0

Release Date – 2015-12-02

• tested to WP 4.4
• updated some functions to fire at a more appropriate time on load
• updated some metabox names that have changed
• fixes an ajax warning in admin area. nbd.
• content in this readme updated
• simple branding images for wp plugin repo

0.7

• removed dashboard widgets: bbpress, gravity forms
• add check for option settings before updating them
• test for WP 3.9

0.6.1

• fixed bug with & symbols

0.6

• all object oriented now and cleaned up code a lot. mo betta
• HUGE pet peeve of mine is people pasting from word (or others) with formatted text. so i’m tired of fixing it all the time so lets force fix curly quotes and some common unicode, ascii, and utf-8 problems
• remove dashboard welcome panel that was added in 3.5
• added back author metabox on posts only. seem to use this more often so back it goes
• no longer adding user profile fields: twitter, facebook, linkedin, google plus. I took it out as most plugins now like Yoast SEO & Facebook’s add those fields in order to do authorship verification and twitter cards etc. used to be needed but other plugins have finally caught up. time to take it out of here.

0.5

• checking if DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT is defined or not to avoid issues. if not add it.
• comments div affecting some sites not able to turn them back on. spotty, so taking out for now

0.4

• temporarily removed removing ‘slugdiv’ from posts and pages as it was found to hinder the ajax edit permalink updating function. that’s another issue with wordpress but had to stop hiding that until wp fixes that.

0.3

• added linkedin and google plus user fields

0.2

• removed generator tag. not really needed either, helps with security scanning.
• updated to new adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head from old. guess that changed recently.
• updated readme and better description of everything from developer geek speak to human english.

0.1

• take functions I use regularly and bundle for IPO (initial public offering)
