Changelog
1.0.33
- Feature: «Enable Maintenance Mode» checkbox now auto-saves via AJAX on click — no page reload required.
- Feature: «Save Changes» button renamed to «Save custom HTML» and only persists the custom HTML textarea.
1.0.32
- Feature: donate notice now renders inline at the top of the settings page (below the title) instead of in the generic admin-notice area.
1.0.31
- Fix: PHPCS — correct file comment style in index.php stubs; add docblock header to scripts.js; end all inline JS comments with full stops.
1.0.30
- Fix: donate notice now also hooks network_admin_notices so it appears on Network Admin pages (multisite).
1.0.29
- Feature: multisite network support — one toggle now controls all sites; settings stored as network options.
- Feature: menu moved from Tools to Settings (single site) and Network Admin > Settings (multisite).
- Fix: object-cache layer now correctly distinguishes a cache miss from a stored falsy value using the $found parameter.
- Fix: cache is now invalidated immediately on save — the Settings API was bypassing the cache wrapper on every option update.
- Fix: wp_cache_flush() replaced with targeted key deletion to avoid evicting other plugins‘ cached data.
- Fix: admin JS now loads only on the plugin’s own settings page, not on every admin screen.
- Fix: REST API, XML-RPC, and WP-Cron requests now bypass the maintenance page so background jobs and authenticated tooling are not disrupted.
- Fix: removed redundant unverified nonce field; settings form now uses a single nonce verified manually.
