  1. Button Block 1.2.8Latest

    • Security: Fixed a stored XSS where a Contributor could add a custom SVG icon that ran a script for anyone viewing the post (reported by Patchstack). Icons are now sanitized on the server and again in the browser.
    • Security: Every button setting, including the text, tooltip, uploaded icon, custom ID, custom CSS, and style values, is now validated on the server before it reaches the page.
    • Security: Button settings written into the page are now encoded, so saved HTML entities can no longer turn back into live markup in the browser.
    • Fix: The admin dashboard script no longer throws an error when the Freemius opt-in or license screen is shown in its place.
    • Fix: The icon picker, color, typography, and other shared editor controls could not be translated.
    • Update: The editor loads faster. The icon picker’s icon sets now load the first time it is opened instead of with every editor page.

  2. Button Block 1.2.7

    • Fix: The “Hide Button Block from admin Menu” setting, some editor controls, and the admin dashboard could not be translated.
    • Fix: A duplicated button is now titled “Title (copy)”, with a space, and the suffix can be translated.
    • Fix: An error on the Duplicate link now shows a regular WordPress error page instead of raw code.

  3. Button Block 1.2.6

    • Fix: Open in new tab opened two tabs instead of one.
    • Fix: Download button opened an extra blank tab alongside the download.
    • Fix: Editor panel strings could not be translated.
    • Update: The shortcode is now shown in the block sidebar while editing a saved button.
