Birthday Rewards for WooCommerce – NeoLite Birthday Bash

1.3.3

• Fix: Birthday coupons are no longer created for customer accounts that have been deleted. If an account was removed between the daily check starting and that customer’s coupon being generated, a coupon was still created — but with its email restriction silently dropped, so a discount meant for one person became usable by anyone holding the code, and it was never sent to anybody. Those coupons also left stray rows in the Coupon Logs. The deleted account is now passed over cleanly and no coupon, log row or email is produced.
• Docs: Corrected the plugin description and FAQ. Birth dates are collected on the My Account page, the WordPress registration form and the classic checkout; on the block-based Cart & Checkout the [birthday_bash_checkout_input] shortcode places the fields. The previous wording implied the block checkout was covered automatically, which it is not.
• Docs: Rewrote the FAQ so every question renders properly on WordPress.org, removed duplicated entries, and added answers on send timing, coupon expiry, one-coupon-per-year and what birthday data is stored.

1.3.2

• Fix: Deleting the plugin and later reinstalling it now recreates the coupon-log table. Uninstall previously left an internal schema-version marker behind, so a reinstall skipped the table setup and the Coupon Logs tab stayed permanently empty.
• Fix: Deleting the plugin now also removes any pending batch actions from Action Scheduler. Previously a queued batch could be left behind pointing at a plugin that no longer exists.
• Enhancement: The settings sidebar now links to the official documentation, the support forum and the review page, so help is in reach without leaving the screen.
• Enhancement: A “Useful Free Plugins” tab links to the author’s other free plugins on WordPress.org. It is only shown to administrators who can install plugins.

1.3.1

• Fix: A percentage birthday coupon can no longer be set above 100%. Entering a higher figure now saves as 100% and tells you why. Previously any number was accepted, so a coupon set to, say, 500% would discount several times the value of the basket.
• Fix: If your store already had a percentage above 100% saved, new birthday coupons are capped at 100% straight away — you do not need to open the settings screen for the cap to apply. Your saved figure is left alone so you can see what it was.
• Fixed-amount coupons are unaffected: they have no ceiling and never did.

1.3.0

• Fix: The “Enable this email notification” switch under WooCommerce → Settings → Emails → Birthday Coupon now actually works. Previously the birthday email was sent regardless of that setting, and no coupon is now issued while the notification is switched off.
• Fix: Birthday emails are now wrapped in WooCommerce’s standard email layout. They previously shipped a fragment with no header, so the message text inherited none of your store’s email fonts, colours or width, and the closing markup did not match anything.
• Fix: Added the missing plain-text template. Stores with the email type set to Plain text or Multipart were sending an empty message, so the coupon code never reached the customer.
• Fix: The email preview on WooCommerce → Settings → Emails now shows a sample name, coupon code and expiry date instead of a blank message.
• Enhancement: The email now respects the email type, Cc, Bcc and Reply-to settings WooCommerce offers for it, renders in the store language, and is recorded correctly in WooCommerce’s email log.
• Enhancement: A logo set on the plugin’s Email tab is now used as the email header image, so it appears above the heading like every other WooCommerce email.
• Compatibility: Tested with WordPress 7.1 and WooCommerce 11.

1.2.0

• Reliability: The daily birthday check now processes customers in bounded batches via Action Scheduler, so large stores no longer risk timeouts or memory exhaustion.
• New: Coupon redemptions are now recorded — the admin Coupon Logs show the redeemed date and linked order, with pagination for long lists.
• Fix: Uninstall now removes every option, the coupons table, generated coupons and scheduled tasks, across all sites on multisite.
• Fix: Activating the plugin before WooCommerce no longer leaves it half-installed; setup completes automatically once WooCommerce is active.
• Performance: Front-end styles now load only on pages that show the birthday form instead of site-wide.
• Internationalization: Added a translation template, text-domain loading and script translations; removed hard-coded English strings from admin scripts.
• Maintenance: Added coding-standard and static-analysis tooling, a .distignore-driven build, and removed unused code.

1.1.4

• Security: Removed a debug log that recorded checkout details to a file inside the plugin folder. The file is deleted on update. If your site was affected, also delete wp-content/plugins/birthday-bash/bb_checkout_debug.log if it remains.
• Maintenance: Removed unused internal code and tightened the release build so development files are never packaged.
