  1. Video Gallery 2.0.3Latest

    • Date: 01-sep-2026
    • Fix: Added disconnect handler for YouTube API settings to allow clearing credentials and resetting connection status.
    • Improvement: Set YouTube API integration to default to disconnected state on new galleries instead of prefilling sample credentials.
    • UI/UX: Shifted Ads & Monetization configuration card into the Grid Layout tab for a cleaner and more intuitive settings workflow.
    • Fix: Set In-Grid Ads to disabled by default while retaining the default banner HTML template for user convenience.

  2. Video Gallery 2.0.2

    • Date: 17-jul-2026
    • Fix: Implemented single JSON payload saving (vg_slides_json) and disabled standard slide fields on submit to prevent max_input_vars data loss.
    • Fix: Updated jQuery selectors to use starts-with name matching to fix bracket selector parsing issues.
    • Fix: Implemented dual-layer metadata fallback loading for slide titles and descriptions on settings panels and front-end layouts.

  3. Video Gallery 2.0.1

    • Date: 17-jul-2026
    • Fix: Standardized Gutenberg block and Elementor widget names to “Video Gallery”.
    • Fix: Resolved WP.org readme.txt formatting regarding duplicate headers, FAQ tab parsing, and blockquote list prefix indentation.
    • Fix: Implemented missing Enable Ads toggles and bypassed HTML/script sanitization constraints for administrator users.
    • Fix: Fixed ad display grid positioning by removing premium frequency settings and resolving PHP type comparison mismatch (casted floor outputs to int).
    • Fix: Fixed play icon behavior settings saving and visibility conditional logic.

  4. Video Gallery 2.0.0

    • Date: 16-jul-2026
    • Feature: Added dedicated Gutenberg block (Video Gallery Block) and Elementor widget (Video Gallery Premium) for page builders integration.
    • Feature: Built-in Video Playback Insights & Analytics tracker (Total plays, tracked videos, top videos/galleries, platform and device shares with visual graphs and CSV export).
    • Optimization: Shifted legacy VideoLightning lightbox to a unified Lightgallery engine for smooth transitions and responsive mobile display.
    • Cleanup: Cleaned up unused files and updated the Master Guide encyclopedia documentation sidebar menu with direct action links.

  5. Video Gallery 1.7.1

    • Date: 20-may-2026
    • Fix: Restructured settings page layout so option toggle cards display correctly on all devices.
    • Fix: Set unselected option card text to inherit color so it is visible against white.

  6. Video Gallery 1.7.0

    • Date: 19-may-2026
    • Security Hardening: Migrated YouTube API integration fully server-side. Your YouTube API Key is now 100% hidden and secure from frontend exposure.
    • Performance Optimization: Integrated WordPress Transients API to cache YouTube feed data. This slashes page-load overhead to near-zero, protects against API quota depletion, and optimizes SEO search indexing.
    • UI Unification: Standardized YouTube galleries to utilize the premium VideoLightning lightbox popups and unified gallery grid columns for a consistent style aesthetic across all types.
    • Backward Compatibility: Custom parsing logic handles all historical channel URLs, playlist lists, usernames, and raw IDs seamlessly.
    • Escape Compliance: Hardened dashboard security by replacing generic attributes escaping with strict context-specific esc_textarea for textareas.
    • Hook Standards: Enqueued dynamic templates styles and scripts using standard wp_add_inline_style and wp_add_inline_script instead of raw inline blocks.
    • Clean Asset Optimization: Fully purged the redundant “Go to Top” visual elements, including the return-to-top HTML markup, go-to-top.js, and go-to-top.css files to streamline the plugin package size.
    • Compliance Fix: Completely removed the legacy TGM Plugin Activation (TGMPA) library dependency to resolve naming conflicts, update-checker transient issues, and translation domains.
    • Asset Cleanup: Removed the unused Bootstrap JS script (bootstrap.js) file and enqueues.
    • Library Security: Upgraded the bundled Bootstrap CSS (bootstrap.css) to the latest secure version (v4.6.2).
    • Security Hardening: Implemented absolute path execution guards (ABSPATH) on all plugin PHP files to block direct file access.
    • Policy Compliance: Added formal disclosures for external third-party services (YouTube and Vimeo) used by the plugin.

  7. Video Gallery 1.6.5

    • Fix: Lightbox (Magnific Popup) now appears above theme headers, navbars, and sticky elements
    • Fix: Video gallery shortcode no longer shifts or hides in single post layouts

    • Fix: Video lightbox close button now shows pointer cursor
    • Fix: Video iframe fills full lightbox height
    • Improved Isotope re-layout timing using font loading and window load events

    • Fix: Gallery settings now load correctly for multiple galleries on the same page
    • Fix: Resolved undefined variable notices ($columns, $close_button) in PHP logs
    • Fix: Removed duplicate alt attributes and non-unique IDs for valid HTML
    • Code cleanup: Replaced deprecated wp_reset_query with wp_reset_postdata
    • Improvement: Updated copy-to-clipboard to use modern Clipboard API with fallback
