  1. Easy PHP Settings 1.1.9Latest

    • Released: November 6, 2026
    • Fixed: Saving settings no longer overwrites other content in .user.ini and php.ini (for example the Wordfence firewall’s auto_prepend_file line). The plugin now writes only between “; BEGIN Easy PHP Settings” and “; END Easy PHP Settings” markers, and converts files written by older versions on the…
    • Changed: “Remove .ini Directives” (previously “Delete .ini Files”) removes only this plugin’s lines and deletes a file only if nothing else is left in it.
    • Changed: Redesigned admin screen. A new header shows PHP version, server API, whether .user.ini is read, and whether the site root is writable.
    • Changed: Each PHP and WordPress memory setting now shows the value in use, how it compares to the recommendation, and whether your saved value has taken effect (with manual snippets when it has not).
    • Changed: Presets are clickable cards that fill the form without leaving the page; changed fields are highlighted and a save bar counts unsaved changes and warns before you leave the page.
    • Changed: Debugging switches now explain what each constant does.
    • Changed: The About tab is laid out as a CV (profile, skills, services, selected work) with “Hire me” buttons that open an email.
    • Changed: Admin notices, including the data-sharing notice, appear above the plugin header.
    • Changed: The review request no longer pops up on every admin page after 7 days. It appears on the General tab only when the plugin’s live check confirms your saved PHP settings are in use, and “Not now” waits 30 days.
    • Changed: The optional data-sharing notice is now compact: a one-line summary with Allow and No thanks buttons. What is sent, when, how to turn it off, and the Privacy Policy and Terms links are under “Learn more”.
    • Fixed: Choosing a preset now updates the custom php.ini editor; before, the editor kept its old text and saved over the preset.
    • Fixed: The Status tab’s “Changeable” column said “No” for upload_max_filesize, post_max_size and max_input_vars even on servers where the plugin sets them through .user.ini. It is now “How to change it”: this plugin (.user.ini), .htaccess (Apache module), or host only.
    • Fixed: A JavaScript error on tabs without the custom php.ini editor.
    • Fixed: “Use recommended” is offered only when the current value is below the recommendation, so it never suggests lowering a limit.
    • Removed: The “Test Settings” button, which only showed a timed message; the per-setting “In use” check replaces it.
    • Added: Two Site Health checks: “PHP limits” (flags values below the recommendation) and “Saved PHP settings in use” (flags saved values the server ignores).
    • Added: The General tab re-checks the values PHP really uses when it loads, with a “Check again” button. Admin pages can show values the plugin set only for that page; the check reads them without that.
    • Added: An alert on the General tab when the server keeps ignoring saved settings, with a ready-to-send message for your host.
    • Added: Under the Media uploader, a note saying which PHP setting sets the upload limit, with a link to change it.
    • Changed: The debug log viewer groups repeated errors with a count, shows the newest first, filters by type (fatal, warning, notice, deprecated, database), and keeps the raw log one click away. It now reads the last 256 KB instead of 64 KB.
    • Fixed: Deleting the plugin now removes its lines from .user.ini and php.ini (other plugins’ lines are kept).
    • Fixed: memory_limit = -1 and max_execution_time = 0 (no limit) are no longer shown as “Below recommended”.
    • Added: wp easy-php WP-CLI command with list, get, set, debug on|off, and remove-ini subcommands. Run wp help easy-php for details.
    • Changed: Settings history records “wp-cli” as the user for changes made from the command line.
    • Fixed: If writing debugging constants to wp-config.php fails, the stored debugging settings are no longer changed to values that were never applied.
    • Dev: Added PHPUnit unit tests for the INI merge logic and the WP-CLI command (composer install && composer test).

  2. Easy PHP Settings 1.1.8

    • Released: September 2, 2026
    • Fixed: Admin CSS is scoped to the plugin screen and no longer restyles core Dashboard buttons or tables.
    • Fixed: Plugin Check errors — translators comments, escaped exception messages, filesystem APIs, and Tested up to 7.1.
    • Fixed: Dashboard widget and admin notices load only their own stylesheets, not the full plugin admin CSS.
    • Fixed: About tab author image is a local asset (no GitHub avatar request).
    • Fixed: Review link points to the full reviews page instead of a 5-star filtered view.
    • Fixed: Plugin URI now points to the public GitHub repository.
    • Fixed: wp-config.php backups are stored as non-executable ZIP archives in the uploads directory.
    • Added: Plugin Tracker Terms of Service and Privacy Policy links in the readme and opt-in UI.

  3. Easy PHP Settings 1.1.7

    • Released: August 30, 2026
    • Fixed: WordPress.org Guideline 7 compliance — all communication with plugin.codereyes.com is gated behind explicit, default-off administrator opt-in.
    • Added: Opt-in admin notice with full disclosure and Allow / No thanks actions; About tab privacy panel with enable and revoke controls.
    • Added: Suggested privacy policy content via wp_add_privacy_policy_content().
    • Changed: Plugin activation no longer sends install reports or schedules tracker cron until consent is granted.
    • Changed: Dashboard offers widget, offer notices, and external offer images load only after opt-in.
    • Updated: Readme privacy documentation to accurately describe optional data sharing.

    • Changed: Removed hard 1G upper limit from size validators so larger values like 2G+ are accepted, relying on PHP/server limits and relationship checks instead.
