Changelog
Minors changes
1.0.29
- Change: the bundled donate-notice class is renamed from the shared
Effortless_Donate_NoticetoEffortless_Shortcode_Insertion_Donate_Notice, so the class name carries this plugin’s own prefix and cannot collide with another EffortLess plugin loading its own copy.
1.0.28
- Change: tested against WordPress 7.1 and the “Tested up to” header updated to 7.1. No functional changes.
- Change: the donate notice’s outbound link no longer includes the site address as a query parameter. It still identifies the plugin and version so support requests can be matched to a release, but not which installation was viewing it.
1.0.27
- Fix: update plugin name casing to EffortLess; add plugin identifier to donate link.
1.0.26
- Refactor: donate notice file kept as includes/class-donate-notice.php (preserves SVN file history); class remains Effortless_Donate_Notice.
1.0.25
- Fix: donate notice now correctly displays on Network Admin pages — screen ID normalization strips WordPress’s -network/-user suffix before matching.
1.0.24
- Refactor: donate notice class renamed Donate_Notice → Effortless_Donate_Notice (WP-standard prefix); file renamed to class-effortless-donate-notice.php. No phpcs:ignore needed anywhere.
