Changelog
1.1.0
In this release, we’ve added more recommendations from Ravi on how to improve your site. We’ve also made these recommendations more visible on your WordPress
settings pages, by showing on settings pages exactly which things we think you should change. Also, if you’re just now starting to use Progress Planner,
we’ve made the onboarding experience a lot more fun: we show you immediately which of Ravi’s recommended tasks you’ve already completed and we give
you points for those!
Added these recommendations from Ravi:
- Properly set your permalink structure.
- Fix it if your site is set to not be shown in search engines.
- Rename and change the slug of your Uncategorized category.
- Remove inactive plugins.
- Upgrade your PHP version if needed.
- Fully disable comments if they’re not needed on your site.
Bugs we fixed:
- If you had
WP_DEBUGset to false, the plugin would still tell you to disableWP_DEBUG_DISPLAY. We think Ravi was a bit overzealous in his recommendation, so we’ve fixed that.
Onder de motorkap:
- We’ve added our set of debug tools straight into the plugin. If you define
PRPL_DEBUGastruein yourwp-config.phpfile, you’ll get a PRPL Debug admin bar menu item. - Improved suggested tasks completion conditions so they don’t trigger at the wrong moment.
1.0.4
Enhancements:
- We’ve moved Ravi’s recommendations to the top left of your Progress Planner dashboard. They’re the most important thing on there, so we wanted to give it prime placement.
- We changed “Update post” to “Review post” / “Review page” and wrote better instructions for reviewing old posts and pages. These tasks now prioritize the most important pages, like your About page, Privacy policy, Contact page and FAQ page.
- Added an option to redirect users to the Progress Planner dashboard after login. The WordPress dashboard isn’t particularly useful in our eyes, this mind entice you to action more.
- Added a plugin-deactivation feedback form (we tell you, because you’ll never see it, right? 🙂 ).
- Removed the celebration for “Perform all updates” if it was done by WordPress’s automatic update. We all love confetti, but when it comes all the time without you doing anything, it loses its value, right? Hence this fix.
We hebben de volgende Recommendations van Ravi toegevoegd:
- Stel je site-icoon in.
- Stel je slogan in.
- Deactiveer het weergeven van PHP debugberichten.
- Verwijder het standaardbericht “Hallo wereld”.
- Verwijderd de standaard “Voorbeeldpagina”.
Onder de motorkap:
- Verbeteringen aan het REST-API-endpoint voor het ophalen van statistieken.
- Verwijder adminberichten van de Progress Planner-pagina.
1.0.3
Opgelost:
- Detection of page-types in the settings page.
- Properly resetting caches for monthly badges.
Enhancements:
- Added a new “Challenges” widget to the dashboard.
1.0.2
Opgelost:
- Remove duplicated weekly suggested tasks.
- Het REST API-endpoint voor het ophalen van de statistieken was stuk, waardoor de wekelijkse e-mails niet werden verzonden.
- De maandelijkse badges-widget had de verkeerde hoogte bij het laden van de pagina.
- De maandelijkse badges voor 2026 waren al zichtbaar, en dat was (nog) niet de bedoeling.
Enhancements:
- Focus op het invoerveld “Nieuwe taak toevoegen” nadat een nieuwe taak is toegevoegd.
1.0.1
Opgelost:
- Share buttons not working on localhost sites.
- Non-translatable names for monthly badges.
- Graphs appearance.
- Confetti being triggered on every page load.
- Assets versioning.
- Duplicate update-core tasks.
- Information icon for ‘Create a long post’ task was showing text of ‘create a short post’ task.
- Diverse andere kleine bugfixes.
Enhancements:
- Onboarding-ervaring verbeterd.
- Interne refactor van lokale taken.
- Verbeteringen aan het privacybeleid.
- Paginatypen “product” en “blog” verwijderd van de instellingenpagina.
- Automatisch detecteren van pagina-typen in de instellingenpagina.
