You have three easy options: 1. **Shortcode**: Use `[changelog_service id="123"]` or `[changelog_service slug="my-plugin"]` anywhere on your site 2. **Gutenberg Block**: Search for “Changelog” in the block inserter and select your changelog 3. **Automatic Display**: If your changelog post type is public, it displays automatically on single changelog pages ### Can I customize the badge colors and styles? Absolutely! Go to **Changelogs > Settings > Badges** to customize colors, labels, and emojis for each badge type. Choose from three badge styles (rounded, square, or pill) and position them left or inline. You can also create unlimited custom badge types with your own prefixes. ### Can I use this for WordPress themes or other projects? Yes! While the terminology focuses on plugins, it works perfectly for themes, any WordPress product, or even non-WordPress project changelogs. Just create a changelog post and use the shortcode or block wherever you need it. ### How do I format my changelog entries to get badges? Use the format “Prefix – Description” or “Prefix: Description” or “Prefix : Description”. For example: * `Added - New feature` (shows green “New” badge) * `Fixed: Bug resolved`( shows orange “Fixed” badge) * `Improved - Performance boost` (shows blue “Improved” badge) See the Badge Format section below for all supported prefixes. ### Does this work with page builders like Elementor, Beaver Builder, or Divi? Yes! Use the `[changelog_service]` shortcode in any page builder that supports shortcodes. Most popular page builders have shortcode widgets or modules you can use. ### Can I search and filter changelog entries? Yes! Enable search and filtering in your shortcode: `[changelog_service id="123" search="true" filter_badges="true"]`. Users can search changelog content or filter by badge type (Added, Fixed, Improved, etc.). Results show version headers with matching items. ### Is there a REST API I can use? Yes! This changelog plugin provides REST API endpoints for changelog data: * `GET/ wp-json/changelogwp/v1/changelog/{slug}` – Get single changelog * `GET /wp-json/ changelogwp/v1/changelogs` – Get all changelogs with pagination Perfect for automation, syndication, or integrating with external services. ### Does this integrate with Easy Digital Downloads? Yes! If you have EDD Software Licensing active, you can display changelogs for your EDD products using the `edd_id` attribute: `[changelog_service edd_id="456"]`. This is perfect for premium plugin developers managing product changelogs. ### Is it accessible for screen readers? Yes! It includes full accessibility support: * Keyboard navigation for all interactive elements * ARIA labels and roles for screen readers * Visible focus indicators * Semantic HTML structure * Screen reader text for icon-only buttons like copy links ### Can I create custom badge types? Yes! Go to **Changelogs > Settings > Badges** and click “Add Badge” to create custom badge types with your own prefixes (like “Enhancement”, “Performance”, “Breaking”), colors, and emojis. No coding required. ### How do I link to specific versions in my changelog? Copy link buttons are always enabled and appear on hover next to each version number. Users can click to copy the URL with the version anchor, making it easy to share specific updates. ### How do I add a signup link for update notifications? Use the `signup` shortcode parameter to add a “Get notified of updates” link that connects to ChangelogWP.com: **For WordPress.org plugins** (auto-generates URL from plugin slug): [changelog_service plugin_slug=”woocommerce” signup=”true”] **For other sources** (provide a custom URL): [changelog_service id=”123″ signup =”https://changelogwp.com/plugin/my-plugin/”] You can also enable this globally in **Changelogs > Settings > Display** by checking“ Signup Link”. When using the Gutenberg block, toggle “Show Signup Link” in the block settings—if using a WordPress.org plugin, the URL is auto-generated; otherwise, enter a custom URL. ## نقد و بررسی‌ها ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/54a25d2575c011125ec5ea1e6c6e2f8e4325156aa67c0b74be20b771832e133d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Thought it would be basic, but it’s not](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thought-it-would-be-basic-but-its-not/)󠁿 [Harish Chouhan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hchouhan/) 2 آوریل 2026 1 پاسخ I expected a simple plugin, but it’s actually quite feature-rich while still being very intuitive.

We are shocked it’s free, given all the features and its versatility. We created our changelog, dropped the changelog block on a page, toggled some settings, and boom! Our changelog is beautiful, searchable, filterable, linkable, and more. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/43730967b075e1682e1e2c0c80be7bc6b8f94da4f05565bdf0319701263905f0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great For Displaying EDD Changelogs on Product Pages](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-for-displaying-edd-changelogs-on-product-pages/)󠁿 [Ronald Huereca](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ronalfy/) 8 مارس 2026 I have several plugins for sale and use Easy Digital Downloads to list them. I have individual product pages for each plugin and have long wanted a way to display an elegant changelog in one of my FAQ sections. This plugin fits the bill perfectly. This plugin integrates seamlessly with Easy Digital Downloads (EDD), including its software licensing system and readme changelogs. It utilizes the EDD download changelog feature when you edit a download. It’s important to update this changelog with each version of your software. The plugin offers a convenient block that allows me to select my EDD download, and the changelog is automatically populated in a beautifully formatted presentation. One neat feature I like is its badges. For example, if I start a changelog entry off with “Fixed,” or “New.” One thing I wish this plugin had was dynamic readme parsing (e.g., when you host the EDD readme elsewhere). Thanks for the plugin. I wish I could share screenshots here. The changelogs are beautiful. And they provide valid proof that a plugin is indeed being updated. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/48f8394f0c3941280fabf70fc8243cfe7431abaa0c697160fc660c3c95024c70? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Changelogs are presented beautifully](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changelogs-are-presented-beautifully/)󠁿 [Naweed Chougle](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hypersonic/) 20 ژانویه 2026 When Ryan, owner of Pine Digital, introduced me to the Changelog as a Service plugin, I was amazed. This plugin helps me display changelogs in an elegant manner with beautiful color-coded badges to indicate new additions, fixes and improvements. A further bonus is the ability to publish changelogs to the ChangelogWP site for improved reach. Changelogs are a must for every plugin builder to maintain and boost their visibility across direct visitors, search engines and LLMs. This plugin makes it incredibly easy to add beautifully-presented changelogs using shortcodes or blocks on your site. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8e8642424e921b86acbe22afae12f824cf1f1722ff1aaa47cecf97966647a17d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Changelogs Plugin!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-changelogs-plugin/)󠁿 [Elliot Sowersby / RelyWP](https://profiles.wordpress.org/elliotvs/) 19 ژانویه 2026 This is a fantastic plugin for developers to easily showcase plugin changelogs on their website. Super easy to setup and use. Very well made, great development team, and fast support!
