MusicNetics Artist Toolkit

1.6.6

• Fixed: updated the Help page support email from info@ranknetics.com to info@musicnetics.com for ownership consistency with the plugin’s Plugin URI and WordPress.org account. No functional, data, or frontend behavior change.

1.6.5

• Fixed: corrected the phpcs:ignore placement for the one remaining Plugin Check warning in the admin asset-loading check — the current page slug is now sanitized into a local variable before use so the exception applies to the exact flagged line. No functional, data, or frontend behavior change.

1.6.4

• Fixed: resolved all errors and warnings from the official WordPress.org Plugin Check review — added missing nonce verification, input sanitization/unslashing, translator comments on strings with placeholders, and output escaping throughout the admin and shortcode files; documented justified exceptions (e.g. custom-table SQL identifiers, read-only filters) with inline explanations. Updated “Tested up to” to 7.0 and tidied readme formatting. No data, database, options, meta key, or frontend behavior changes.
• Fixed: plugin header “Tested up to” now matches readme.txt (both 7.0), resolving a mismatch error. Removed a dev-only PHPCS ruleset config file that WordPress.org’s file-type check does not permit in submitted plugins.
• Fixed: inlined nonce verification in the meta box save functions and the Artist Profile save handler so it’s directly detectable (previously routed through a private helper), and tightened three spots that re-read raw request data to sanitize once into a local variable instead. No change to what is validated or saved.
• Fixed: the “Powered by MusicNetics” credit link on the public EPK page no longer renders by default. Added a new “Show ‘Powered by MusicNetics’ credit on public pages” checkbox under Settings → Branding, off by default; site owners can opt in if they want to display it. Admin-area MusicNetics links/cards are unchanged. No tracking or referral parameters are used, and no external scripts, images, or styles are loaded.
• Fixed: added ranknetics to the Contributors list.
• Fixed: replaced the plugin’s remaining direct <script>/<style> output with wp_add_inline_script()/wp_add_inline_style() on properly registered/enqueued handles (newsletter signup script, Photos list thumbnail-column CSS, accent-color CSS variables). No visual or behavioral change.
• Fixed: renamed 3 remaining un-prefixed global functions to use the musiarto_ prefix. No stored data (options, post types, meta, transients, ajax actions, shortcodes) was renamed, to avoid breaking existing installs.
• Fixed: moved the plugin’s top-level admin menu position from 25 to 58 to reduce the chance of colliding with other plugins’ admin menu items.

1.6.3

• Fixed: removed the plugin header’s Author URI, which was identical to the Plugin URI, per WordPress.org submission requirements. No functional changes.

1.6.2

• Fixed: renamed the plugin’s public display name from “MusicNetics for WordPress” to “MusicNetics Artist Toolkit” to comply with WordPress.org’s trademark/naming guidelines (the term “WordPress” is restricted in plugin display names). This is a display-name-only change — no functionality, database storage, text domain, folder name, or frontend behavior was modified.

1.6.1

• Fixed: file permissions on two bundled image assets that were packaged as owner-only readable; now world-readable like all other plugin files. No functional changes. This release also completed a full internal WordPress.org compliance review (escaping, sanitization, nonces, prepared queries, translations) with no other issues found.
