Captain Feed for YouTube

گزارش تغییرات

1.2.6 (15/08/2026)

• New: Channel Profile’s avatar now supports a Round, Square, or (Pro only) Custom shape — Custom adds a 0–100% corner-radius slider so you can fine-tune it exactly.
• New: “Show Channel Name”, “Show Title”, and “Show Description” toggles (Step 4 → Settings → Card Display Options) — hide any of the three from every card style and from Single Video, independently.
• Improved: Step 2 and Step 3 of the wizard are now labelled “Select Layout” and “Layout Mode” for clarity.
• Improved: The wizard’s step progress bar now stays visible (sticky) while scrolling a long step like Settings, instead of scrolling out of view.
• Improved: Columns and Max Videos chips in Settings no longer squish into thin slivers on narrower screens.
• Improved: Removed the blue accent border on the Layout filter bar.
• Improved: Pro purchase links across the dashboard (top banner, Upgrade Now pricing table, White Label upsell) now each carry their own tracking tag, and White Label’s link — which was pointing at the wrong URL — now points at the right one.
• Fix: Video titles, descriptions, and channel names with an apostrophe, quote, or ampersand no longer show raw HTML codes like " or & — they now display the real character, on both the wizard preview and the live site.

1.2.5 (13/08/2026)

• New: “Upgrade Now” page — a Free vs Pro feature comparison table, shown in the dashboard sidebar until Captain Feed for YouTube Pro is active.
• New: White Label integration point — with Captain Feed for YouTube Pro active, rename the plugin, set custom light/dark menu icons, hide individual sidebar menu items, and hide the plugin from the Plugins list.
• New: “White Label” item added under Extra Options in the dashboard sidebar (shown with a PRO badge when the Pro add-on isn’t active yet).
• New: Channel Profile feed type now has a working Mode step — pick Light or Dark for the profile card, previewed live in the wizard and matched on the front end.
• New: Channel Profile feed type now has its own Settings step — toggle the subscriber count, video count, view count, and Subscribe button on or off, and choose a round or square avatar.
• New: An “Upgrade Now” link in the native WordPress admin sidebar, right under the plugin’s menu — hidden automatically once Pro is active.
• New: A Pro upsell banner on the Documentation, Settings, Help, Roll Back, and Our Products pages — hidden automatically once Pro is active.
• Improved: Menu Visibility in White Label is now a proper multi-select with removable chips instead of a checkbox grid.
• Improved: The Upgrade Now comparison table now also lists Video Play Mode.
• Fix: Channel Profile avatar and banner images no longer break on some hosts — YouTube’s CDN was rejecting the request over the referrer header on certain setups.
• Fix: Channel Profile’s cached channel data now uses the same cache-key format as every other feed type, so the per-feed “Clear Cache” button actually clears it too — it silently didn’t before.
• Fix: The Channel Profile preview in the wizard could get stuck on “Loading your channel details…” forever, even after the data had already loaded successfully.

1.2.4 (09/08/2026)

• New: Video Filters (Step 4 → Video Filters) — hide irrelevant videos by keyword include/exclude, minimum duration, or minimum view count, with chip-based suggestions pulled from your channel’s own fetched video titles and thumbnails.
• New: Our Products page can now install and activate our other plugins (Captain Widgets Kit, Captain Social Review, Captain Advance Filter) directly from the dashboard — no need to leave WordPress admin.
• New: Captain Advance Filter added to the Our Products page.
• New: Contextual “How to find?” help links and info boxes for Channel ID, Playlist ID, and Video IDs, matched to the selected feed type.
• Improved: All Step 1 help links now open the plugin’s own internal documentation instead of external Google support pages.
• Improved: Feed Name and Feed Type now sit side-by-side in Step 1 for a more compact layout.
• Improved: “Video Order” moved from Step 1 to Step 4, alongside the other display settings.
• Improved: The wizard step is now saved in the URL, so reloading the Edit Feed page keeps you on the same step instead of resetting.
• Improved: Our Products cards redesigned — logo and name together, a single clear primary action per plugin, and no more duplicate “Active” indicator.
• Fix: “Please enter an API key first” shown on Test Key even with a valid key entered — the underlying cause was a malformed comment in the server-side request handler that silently prevented the API key from ever being read. The key is now always read correctly.
• Fix: Test Key error status no longer gets stuck after switching Feed Type.
• Fix: Test Key button no longer overflows its row on narrow screens.
• Fix: Single Videos feed type — Step 2 no longer defaults to the wrong layout, multi-video lookups no longer break due to encoding, and entering a Channel ID by mistake now shows a clear error instead of silently returning no videos.
• Fix: Step 2 live preview no longer gets stuck showing a permanent error after the Channel/Video IDs field is corrected.
• Fix: Elementor editor now shows full styling immediately when the widget is dropped onto the canvas, instead of only after a page reload.
• Fix: Removed a duplicate, uncached YouTube API request firing on every feed load — cuts YouTube API quota usage roughly in half on cache misses.
• Fix: Double-border rendering on the Video Filters multi-select fields, including in dark mode.
• Fix: Video Filters suggestions now correctly exclude already-selected videos and handle titles with commas or non-English characters.
• Fix: A fatal JS error that could crash the Edit Feed screen entirely.
• Fix: New feed preview no longer requires a manual page reload to appear.
• Fix: Style and color changes are now debounced and saved in order, so a slower save request can no longer overwrite a newer one.
• Internal: Updated react-router-dom to fix a moderate-severity dependency vulnerability (open redirect). No user-facing change.
• Internal: Full WordPress-Extra (PHPCS) coding-standards pass across all PHP files — zero errors, zero warnings.
• Internal: Hardened two YouTube API request builders that were missing URL-encoding on the channel/token values — brought in line with the rest of the codebase, which already encoded these correctly.
• Internal: Manual role-based security review (Administrator/Editor/Author/Contributor/Subscriber) of every AJAX endpoint, capability check, and data-sanitization path — no access-control issues found.
• Renamed: Wizard steps renamed for clarity — “Select Layout” → “Layout”, “Select Style” → “Mode”, “Set up Widget” → “Settings” (Connect Channel and Insert Code unchanged).
• Renamed: Sidebar menu item “Create Feeds” → “Create Feed”, and the dashboard’s “Create New Feed” buttons → “Create Feed”, to match.
• Simplified: Removed the “Feed Type” and “Layout / Style” override dropdowns from the Elementor and Gutenberg widgets — both now only expose the YouTube Feed selector. A more complete per-widget override design is planned for a future release.
• Fix: Unified the wizard’s “Next” buttons and the “Your feed is ready!” banner to use the app’s single brand blue (matching the step-progress indicator) — they were previously a slightly different, inconsistent blue.
• Fix: Fixed a flexbox sizing bug where the dashboard’s main content panel could overflow past the browser viewport at narrower widths (e.g. tablet), showing a stray dark block and a horizontal scrollbar.
• New: Added a “Feed Details” card to the bottom of Step 5 (Insert Code) — shows Feed ID, Feed Type, and Last Modified, plus a “Clear This Feed Cache” button scoped to just that feed.
• Improved: Reordered Step 4 settings — “Pagination Type” moved up (higher priority), “Video Filters” moved down to just below “Video Play Mode” (lower priority).
• Improved: Documentation now opens directly to the “How to Use” guide instead of an index page — the guide sidebar is always visible, so the extra landing page and its “← All Guides” back-link were removed.
• Improved: Removed the icons from the Documentation guide list — text-only for a cleaner look.
• Fix: The Shortcode column on the dashboard’s feed list no longer truncates to a fixed width — the full shortcode is now visible.
• New: Added a “Last Modified” column to the dashboard’s feed list.
• Fix: Anchored the mobile slide-in sidebar to both the top and bottom of the viewport (instead of a calculated height) so nothing from WP’s own admin menu can show past its bottom edge on shorter screens.
• Fix: The “+ Create Feed” button on mobile no longer stretches full-width — it keeps its normal size.
• Fix: Removed a rule that hid the sidebar logo/title on mobile.
• Improved: Replaced the dashboard’s “Last Modified” column with an ⓘ info icon in the Actions column (shown as a tooltip) — frees up space so long feed names no longer get cramped.
• Fix: The Last Modified tooltip now opens on click/tap (not just hover) and is no longer clipped by the table’s rounded-corner overflow.
• New: Added a “Channel Profile” feed type — a single card with the channel’s banner, avatar, name, subscriber/video/view counts, and a Subscribe button. One style for now; more coming in a future release.

1.2.3 (26/07/2026)

• Fix: Duplicate “Documentation” heading removed from the Documentation hub page.
• New: YouTube Shorts guide added to Documentation — explains how to set up a Shorts feed using a Channel Handle or Channel ID.
• New: “How to Use” guide added to Documentation — explains displaying a feed via Shortcode, the Elementor widget, or the Gutenberg block.
• Fix: “Auto Slide” / “Infinite Loop” labels under Slider Options were invisible in dark mode due to a missing text color.
• Fix: Pagination Type dropdown arrow icon was missing in dark mode.
• Fix: Added spacing between “← All Guides” and the guide-type badge on documentation pages.
• New: Collapsible sidebar menu — collapse it to an icon-only rail from the toggle next to the logo, with your preference remembered next time.

1.2.2 (05/07/2026)

• New: Hamburger menu for mobile screens (≤782px) — sidebar slides in from left with overlay backdrop, closes when a menu item is clicked or overlay is tapped.
• New: Dark Mode support in admin dashboard — toggle button (sun/moon icon) in sidebar footer, preference saved to localStorage.
• New: Admin dashboard sidebar is now position:fixed — stays visible while page content scrolls.
• New: YouTube API key “Test Key” button on Connect Channel step — live test against Google API with specific error messages (quota exceeded, invalid key, IP restrictions, channel not found).
• New: Captain Social Review added to Our Products page with inline SVG logo.
• New: All product logos converted to inline SVG — theme-aware (teal in light, white in dark mode).
• New: Slider layout options: Auto Slide toggle and Infinite Loop toggle added to Step 4 widget settings.
• New: Feed Type and Layout/Style dropdowns in Elementor and Gutenberg widgets — save directly to the feed database record, auto-populate with current feed values on open.
• New: Play Inline on Page — third Video Play Mode option (in addition to Open on YouTube and Play in Popup Lightbox).
• New: Inline video play/pause toggle — play icon becomes pause icon while video plays; clicking stops video; only one video plays at a time across all card styles.
• Improvement: Elementor widget JS moved to separate external file (captfyt-elementor-widget.js) — no inline JS in PHP.
• Improvement: All layout CSS now loads correctly in Elementor preview iframe and Gutenberg editor backend.
• Improvement: Central FEED_TYPE_ALLOWED_CATEGORIES config — Shorts feed shows only Shorts layouts; Single Videos hides Slider and Playlist layouts.
• Improvement: Max Videos default changed to 6. Slider layout hides Row Gap, Pagination, and Initial Videos (not applicable to sliders).
• Improvement: 277+ hardcoded hex colors replaced with CSS custom properties across all SCSS files — full dark/light mode theming.

• Improvement: Select dropdowns and number inputs (Column Gap, Row Gap, Pagination) display correctly in dark mode — WordPress .wp-core-ui specificity override applied.
• Improvement: Create Feed type cards replaced with clean currentColor line icons — auto-adapts to dark/light theme; old multi-color stock SVGs removed.
• Improvement: Style 6 Playlist — clicking active side-list item now acts as pause/stop toggle; pause icon shown on currently playing item.
• Improvement: All card style templates (Style 1-6, Shorts) show pause icon when video is playing inline.
• Improvement: PHPCS WordPress coding standards applied to Elementor and Gutenberg widget PHP files.
• Fix: Custom CSS option removed from Step 4 setup — not compliant with WordPress.org plugin guidelines.
• Fix: Shorts thumbnail height fixed for Elementor and Gutenberg editor previews.
• Fix: Inline video stop not working after play — close button now correctly overlays iframe across all card styles.
• Fix: Style 6 Playlist side-list — stop now properly restores original thumbnail and resets list-item state.
• Fix: Slider nav arrows vertical centering fixed (double CSS offset bug).
• Fix: New feed preview videos now load without requiring a page reload — preview-fetch race condition fixed.
• Fix: Continue button text color in dark mode (was inheriting dark background color, now always white).
• Fix: Slider Infinite Loop — manual Prev/Next arrows now respect the infinite loop setting (previously only auto-slide looped).
• Fix: Single Videos feed type no longer shows Slider or Playlist layout options.
• Fix: Shorts feed type correctly shows only the Shorts layout category.
