20264 releases

  1. FakerPress 0.10.0Latest

    • Feature – Rebuild every FakerPress admin page (Posts, Users, Terms, Comments, Attachments and Settings) in React with Tailwind CSS v4 and shadcn/ui, on top of the REST API; the Taxonomy and Meta Field Rules keep the familiar numbered, label-left layout and every meta type, including Date. [#187]
    • Fix – Meta Field Rules on generated attachments are now generated like on every other module, instead of each rule being stored raw under a numeric meta key. [#187]
    • Fix – Attachment meta rules that pick Placehold.co (half of the default featured-image rule on Posts) no longer store an error; Placehold.co images are requested as PNG, and a failed image leaves the meta empty. [#187]
    • Fix – User generation no longer comes up one short when a generated website URL is longer than the 100 characters WordPress allows. [#187]
    • Fix – The Users generator accepts a boolean use_html from the REST API (the on value still works). [#187]
    • Tests – Add Jest coverage for the admin, REST payload tests for every generate endpoint, and build the JS before WPUnit in CI. [#187]
    • Tweak – Format the JavaScript and TypeScript sources with Prettier; no behaviour change. [#235]
    • Tweak – Clear every JavaScript lint and TypeScript error: WordPress package types, the @fp import alias in ESLint, the zod v4 meta-rule schema, … in translated strings, and let/const in the legacy jQuery scripts. [#236]
    • Tweak – Clear every stylelint error in the admin styles with a Tailwind v4 aware config; the compiled CSS is unchanged apart from dropping obsolete -moz- gradients and empty rules. [#237]
    • Tweak – PHPCS skips the public hook names, the namespaced Faker formatter names and the generated readme data, each with a documented reason. [#238]
    • Fix – The text provider’s sentences, paragraphs and text no longer fatal on PHP 8 (join() argument order); the post search verifies its nonce before reading the request; template output is escaped, and batch success messages are translatable. [#239]
    • Tweak – Document every class, method and template to the WordPress coding standards, and correct docblocks that contradicted the code. [#240]
    • Tests – CI runs the Jest suite and a TypeScript check, and lints JS and CSS in separate steps, so one failure never hides another. [#241]
    • Tweak – Update the Composer dev dependencies with open security advisories (Composer, Guzzle, PSR-7, Symfony, Flysystem, PHP_CodeSniffer, PHPCSUtils and WPCS). [#242]
    • Tweak – FakerPress now requires WordPress 6.6 or later, the first version that ships the React JSX runtime the new admin loads. Older sites would load blank admin pages, so WordPress now refuses to install this update or activate the plugin there. [#245]
    • Tweak – Leave the Jest tests and mocks and the TypeScript, shadcn/ui and slic configs out of the plugin zip. [#246]
    • Tweak – Update the JavaScript dependencies within their current ranges in bun.lock, which covers every open Dependabot update (axios, express, lodash, node-forge, picomatch, PostCSS and more), and pin TypeScript 5 for the type check. [#247]
    • Feature – The result of a run now sits on the Generate button: progress and elapsed time while it works, then what was generated and how long it took, or what went wrong. View details opens every generated item with its summary, edit and view links, plus an Advanced view with each item’s full data…
    • Fix – Generate errors from the REST API show their message instead of “An unknown error occurred.”, and links from batched runs no longer overwrite each other. [#248]

  2. FakerPress 0.9.2

    • Fix – Silence the Using null as an array offset is deprecated PHP 8.1+ notices logged from WordPress core’s Requests/Iri.php when fetching external images; the Attachment module now routes download_url() and the Lorem Picsum metadata request through helpers that suppress the core deprecation and re…
    • Fix – Bulk user generation now honours the selected role instead of always assigning Subscriber; the Users endpoint prefers the admin form’s plural roles value over the singular role alias’s default, and the User module falls back to the site’s configured default role when none is requested. [#229]
    • Fix – “Erase faked data” now deletes generated categories and other terms; Term::fetch()/delete() were reading the singular fakerpress.module_flag.term option while generation wrote the plural fakerpress.module_flag.terms, so no terms were ever collected for deletion. [#228]
    • Fix – Generate terms in the selected taxonomy again; the Terms endpoint no longer lets the singular taxonomy alias’s category default overwrite the admin form’s plural taxonomies value, so choosing Tags now creates tags instead of categories. [#227]
    • Fix – Stop the explode(): Passing null to parameter #2 PHP 8.1+ deprecation when generating posts with a sparse payload; the Post module now defaults every splittable request value (comment status, author, post types, HTML tags, post parent, image origins) to an empty string before splitting. [#224]
    • Fix – Resolve the fatal error on WordPress 7.0 when generating attachments (Call to undefined function FakerPress\Module\media_handle_sideload()); WordPress 7.0 preloads wp-admin/includes/file.php, so the single download_url() guard skipped media.php. Each admin include is now guarded by the functi…

  3. FakerPress 0.9.1

    • Fix – Restore date-type meta generation by importing the Chronos class in the WP_Meta provider; calling meta_type_date no longer fatals with Class "FakerPress\Provider\Chronos" not found. [#209]
    • Fix – Honour the selected post type(s) on the Posts generator; the admin form’s plural post_types value is no longer silently overwritten by the singular alias’s default of post. [#210]
    • Fix – Suppress the Undefined property: stdClass::$terms warning emitted by WP_Post::tax_input under PHP 8.x when the taxonomy config does not include a terms key.
    • Tweak – REST endpoint POST /fakerpress/v1/posts/generate now documents post_types (array or comma-separated string) as the canonical parameter; the existing post_type singular alias is preserved for backwards compatibility.
    • Tests – Add regression coverage for meta_type_date, sparse tax_input configs, and every shape of post_types payload (CSV, array, singular alias, plural-wins-over-default).

    • Fix – Map REST comment_status values (hold, approve, spam, trash) to WordPress comment_approved format
    • Fix – Prevent null $metas foreach crash in Term module when no meta is provided via REST API
    • Fix – Handle null name_size in Term module to use provider default instead of generating empty term names
    • Fix – Write mock image body to temp file in Attachment tests to support download_url() stream mode
