  1. Geo Controller 9.0.8Latest

    • Geo Controller Site Health updates.

  2. Geo Controller 9.0.7

    • Fix crawler detection, improve Googlebot and Bingbot recognition, CIDR validation, and correct bot detection caching.

  3. Geo Controller 9.0.6

    • Fixed a fatal error during WordPress initialization caused by an early user capability check. Deferred plugin integration notifications until WordPress user functions are available.

  4. Geo Controller 9.0.5

    • Reworked the WordPress.org readme with clearer geolocation, geotargeting, WooCommerce, access-control, privacy, caching, and licensing guidance.
    • Added accessible Copy controls for shortcode, geo tag, CSS property, and Google Maps syntax examples, with fallback and translated feedback.
    • Refined the five primary admin pages with cleaner, compact tabs, tables, sections, descriptions, focus states, and responsive controls.
    • Aligned Simple Shortcodes tab visibility with its standard feature setting.

  5. Geo Controller 9.0.4

    • Fixed [in_eu] and [not_in_eu] shortcode registration after the Simple Shortcodes option moved from beta to standard settings.

  6. Geo Controller 9.0.3

    • Security: moved dedicated Geo Controller API endpoints to HTTPS and removed the former automatic direct-IP HTTP downgrade.
    • API: added centralized, backward-compatible GET/POST transport selection; GET remains the default, while POST sends API parameters in the request body.
    • Added an optional Defender emergency direct-IP HTTP fallback that is disabled by default and excludes license keys, API secrets, authentication tokens, passwords, and renewal data.
    • Security: validated forwarding headers against trusted proxy and Cloudflare ranges, bounded and rate-limited public location requests, and restricted integration actions to administrators.
    • Security: safely JSON-encoded dynamic geolocation JavaScript property names and values so remote or cached data cannot escape the inline object.
    • Compatibility: preserved geolocation, Defender, licensing, API response handling, product information, Live News, and WordPress update integrations.

  7. Geo Controller 9.0.2

    • Fixed escaped shortcode examples and interactive map configuration output.
    • Moved the Simple Shortcodes option to standard feature settings and kept Redis caching experimental.
    • Compatibility: improved WooCommerce Classic Checkout, Checkout Blocks, Store API, and HPOS order handling.
    • Fixed WooCommerce price conversion, geolocation, payment-country restrictions, and gateway settings output.

  8. Geo Controller 9.0.1

    • Fixed license renewal synchronization for renewed subscription activations.
    • Added automatic renewal revalidation for valid subscription activations.
    • Improved expired-license renewal diagnostics and administrator guidance.

  9. Geo Controller 9.0.0

    • Compatibility: maintained PHP 7.0 to PHP 8.4 support.
    • Stabilized shortcode and Geo Banner caching across transient, database, and Redis modes.
    • Fixed cache cleanup and prevented Geo Banner caching when disabled.
    • Stabilized shortcode, GPS, Geo Banner, and Google Map attributes while preserving legacy support.
    • Added optional REST API transport for public authentication and lookups; AJAX remains the default.
    • Added API transport settings and endpoint documentation.
    • Preserved existing API responses and access-token behavior.
    • Security: protected Defender saves, previews, and bypass cookies with capability, nonce, and method checks.
    • Security: limited permanent Defender bypass to administrators and removed legacy recovery and bot bypasses.
    • Security: added single-use recovery links for temporary WordPress login access.
    • Security: protected global and page-level SEO settings with capability, nonce, and method checks.
    • Fixed postcode matching, country-city redirects, exclusion rules, empty CSV exports, and import rollbacks.
    • CSS display controls now preserve flex, grid, inline, inline-block, table, and other display modes.
