Classic Addons 4.3Latest
- Bug Fixed: Menu logo overlapping with other menu items.
Classic Addons 4.2
- Developer: all plugin-defined file-scope variables now carry the cawpb_ prefix (settings files now define $cawpb_params; the loader still reads the legacy $params from older companion files, so third-party settings files keep working).
- Developer: renamed internal hooks to the cawpb_ prefix — wcp_testimonial_display_rating → cawpb_testimonial_display_rating, wcp_testimonial_display_company → cawpb_testimonial_display_company, caw_render_icon_component → cawpb_render_icon_component, caw_render_button_component → cawpb_render_button…
- Compatibility: No shortcode base, CSS class, markup or option changes; existing content and integrations are unaffected.
- Developer: Added public extension hooks so external companion plugins (e.g. Classic Addons Pro) can register additional addons and inject extra params into existing widgets — filters cawpb_modules, cawpb_settings_modules, cawpb_module_paths, cawpb_module_settings, cawpb_params_{shortcode_base}, caw…
- Developer: Added feature-gate helpers cawpb_is_pro() and cawpb_can( $feature_key ) (default false, filterable by companion plugins)
- Fixed WPBakery 9.x deprecation notices for the colorpicker default_colorpicker_color attribute across all affected elements.
- Fixed WPBakery 9.x deprecation notice for vc_map_add_css_animation() in the Alert Box element, with a version-safe fallback for older WPBakery versions.
- Aligned the internal version constant with the plugin header.
