20264 releases

  1. Easy Demo Importer 2.0.2Latest

    • Feature: Live progress bar for the demo-archive download.
    • Feature: Share or export any import-log run (copy or download .txt), plus a run-duration badge and a collapsed “Skipped N media items” summary.
    • Feature: Preflight auto-tuner raises PHP time/memory limits where allowed and flags plugin-adjusted limits.
    • Feature: Demos with missing required plugins are greyed out; caching plugins are flushed after import.
    • Security: Both remote-download paths (demo archive and plugin installer) are hardened against SSRF, re-validating every redirect hop.
    • Fix: Large archives stream to disk instead of buffering in memory, avoiding out-of-memory crashes.
    • Fix: Preflight no longer errors when set_time_limit/ini_set are disabled.
    • Fix: The server-requirements warning stays dismissed, and failed-term log lines group correctly.
    • Fix: A content import that loses its saved progress mid-run now reports an error and stops instead of falsely claiming completion.
    • Fix: The Activity log lists your recent import runs instead of only the latest one.
    • Fix: Uninstalling removes leftover restore-point shadow tables instead of orphaning them in the database.
    • Fix: Error notices sent as plain text no longer render as an empty box.
    • Fix: The Configure step and the Manual Import dialog no longer scroll on a standard screen.
    • Performance: The demo picker no longer re-renders every card on each search keystroke.
    • Tweak: Restore point now defaults off; download timeout raised to 300s and reported honestly.
    • Tweak: Shortened the restore-point description and removed the raw entry count from the import log’s run header.

  2. Easy Demo Importer 2.0.1

    • Security: Imported SVG files are now sanitized during demo import to prevent stored XSS.
    • Feature: Fatal errors (HTTP 500) and gateway/edge failures (523/520/502, dropped connections) are recorded in the activity log with the real status, instead of the log stopping at the last successful step.
    • Fix: Slider Revolution 6+ demos import correctly against the updated API, and RevSlider filenames are normalized so the extractor can locate them.
    • Fix: LayerSlider and other slider imports report their true result instead of falsely claiming success when the slider plugin is inactive.
    • Fix: The import only runs the Fluent Forms step when Fluent Forms is active.
    • Performance: Elementor data is loaded in batches to bound memory on large demos, and taxonomy term-ID lookups are cached to avoid N+1 queries.
    • Tweak: With image import turned off, the log shows a single “Skipped N media items” summary instead of one line per file.
    • Tweak: Manual imports read as “your uploaded files” in the log instead of the internal slug.
    • Tweak: Updated the wizard’s “Before You Proceed” copy for the restore point and configurable import.

  3. Easy Demo Importer 2.0.0

    • Feature: Resumable, chunked WXR import — large/WooCommerce demos no longer fail with 524/503 gateway timeouts.
    • Feature: Manual import — upload your own content, media, and settings as separate files or a single .zip bundle.
    • Feature: One-click rollback — a restore point is created before import so you can revert in one click.
    • Feature: Activity log — every import and thumbnail run is recorded with a live, per-item log.
    • Feature: Regenerate Thumbnails tool (Appearance → Easy Thumbnails) — resumable, with force-all-sizes and one-at-a-time modes.
    • Feature: Determinate progress bar that auto-resumes after connection drops or gateway timeouts.
    • Feature: Interrupted imports resurface on reload with a Resume / Start Over prompt.
    • Feature: LayerSlider import support.
    • Feature: WP-CLI support — wp edi demos, regenerate, and rollback.
    • Feature: Pre-import readiness checks gate Start Import until the server is ready.
    • Feature: Retry individual failed media downloads from the result screen.
    • Feature: Bundled media import — demo images load from the package instead of downloading.
    • Add: Full compatibility with WordPress 7.0.
    • Security: Completed the fix for the SVG-upload Stored XSS (CVE-2024-9071), closing an Author-role restriction bypass still exploitable through 1.1.6. Reported by Artus KG.
    • Security: Hardened archive extraction (ZipSlip), plugin-installer downloads, and PHP file loading.
    • Fix: Elementor global settings (container width, colors, fonts) are applied correctly after import.
    • Fix: Improved Fluent Forms import, settings validation, demo-file download verification, and AJAX input sanitization.
    • Fix: Prevented a JavaScript crash when network requests fail or time out.
    • Fix: Resolved empty navigation menus by reconciling item counts and auto-creating missing menus.
    • Fix: Isolated import responses to prevent silent failures caused by third-party plugin output.
    • Fix: Ensured extracted demo files are automatically removed after a successful import.
    • Fix: Boosted memory limits and resource allocation during the finalization stage.
    • Performance: Batched attachment-URL updates and checkpointed progress for faster media handling.
    • Tweak: Improved Customizer, Widgets, and database search-replace handling; refactored slider import.
    • Tweak: A readiness step shows the “View full system status” link inline; improved uninstall cleanup.
    • Tweak: Recorded per-item import notices in the activity log with accurate severity levels.
