Changelog
This update fixes several issues with cart messages and order validation logic, improves compatibility with WooCommerce (including Multisite), and enhances overall code reliability. No action required.
1.3.2
- Fix: Customers could reach the checkout below the minimum when using a floating/mini-cart link that bypassed the cart page. A checkout-page guard now redirects them back to the cart with the minimum-amount notice.
1.3.1
- Updated: Tested up to WordPress 7.0
1.3.0
- Fixed: Custom cart message was never loaded due to a mismatched option key between settings and helpers.
- Improved: Removed the “Place Order” button disabling logic because the cart redirect already prevents customers from reaching the checkout page.
- Fixed: Order validation logic was inverted: user exclusions were checked after the minimum amount, causing excluded users to still fail validation.
- Fixed: Order validation function was defined but never hooked, making it inactive.
- Fixed: Typo in the checkout message option key (minimuncheckoutamout) caused the saved message to never be retrieved.
- Fixed: Trailing whitespace and tab characters were included in the default and placeholder values of the cart message field.
- Security: Added missing ABSPATH guard in validation.php to prevent direct file access.
- Fixed: WooCommerce active check now uses class_exists() inside plugins_loaded, improving compatibility with network-activated plugins on Multisite.
- Fixed: User selector field now guards against (array) false returning [false] when the option is not yet set.
- Improved: Extracted duplicated exclusion logic into shared helper functions to avoid repetition across notices.php.
1.2.4
- Improved code quality and compliance with WordPress coding standards.
- Fixed minor issues related to settings handling and plugin uninstall cleanup.
- Enhanced internationalization and escaping in admin settings.
- No functional changes for end users.
1.2.3
- Fixed: i18n issue in settings description string.
1.2.2
- Fixed: i18n issue in settings description string.
