20268 releases

  1. Snippet Shortcodes 5.2.1Latest

    • Security: Custom shortcode parameter values (e.g. [ sv slug=”logo” url=”…” ]) substituted into a URL-bearing attribute (href, src, action, etc.) are now escaped with esc_url() instead of esc_attr(), so a value can’t inject a dangerous URL scheme such as javascript:.

  2. Snippet Shortcodes 5.2

    • New Feature: Added a “Snippet Shortcode” block for the Block Editor (Gutenberg), letting you pick one of your own shortcodes or a premade shortcode from a dropdown and insert it directly, with a live preview.
    • Improvement: The existing Classic Editor toolbar picker for inserting shortcodes is no longer limited to Premium – it’s now available to everyone.

  3. Snippet Shortcodes 5.1.8

    • Security: Escaped custom shortcode parameter values (e.g. [ sv slug=”logo” color=”blue” ]) before substituting them into shortcode output, preventing them from breaking out of HTML attributes.

  4. Snippet Shortcodes 5.1.7

    • Improvement: CSV import/export now covers every shortcode setting (header/footer insertion, per-page targeting, device type, roles, visibility scheduling), not just slug/content/global/enabled – extensible via a new “sh-cd-csv-columns” filter for the Premium plugin.
    • Bug fix: Fixed an issue where saving an existing shortcode a second time could silently reset Premium settings such as role targeting, visibility scheduling, or per-page header/footer targeting back to their defaults.
    • New Feature: Added a setting to disable render-count analytics, for high-traffic sites wanting to avoid the extra database write on every shortcode render (Premium).
    • Improvement: Updated the Premium feature list shown on the shortcode edit screen and marketing pages to include recently added Premium capabilities.

  5. Snippet Shortcodes 5.1.6

    • New Feature: Added CSV export, alongside the existing CSV import, from the “Import shortcodes” screen.
    • Improvement: Added database columns and extension hooks (shortcode rendered, shortcode revision history) to support additional Premium features.
    • Improvement: Added a database column to support per-page targeting of automatically-inserted header/footer shortcodes in the Premium plugin.

  6. Snippet Shortcodes 5.1.5

    • Bug fix: Cloning a shortcode from the list screen is now protected against CSRF with a nonce.
    • Bug fix: CSV import no longer silently accepts rows with missing content.
    • Bug fix: Corrected an issue where the “new Premium version available” notice could keep reappearing after being dismissed.
    • Bug fix: Corrected the cache duration used when fetching license prices.
    • Improvement: Settings that only apply to Premium are now properly disabled, not just greyed out, until you upgrade.
    • Improvement: Cleaned up unused code on the “Your Shortcodes” list screen.

  7. Snippet Shortcodes 5.1.4

    • Maintenance: Updated and tested to WP version 7.0.1.
    • Maintenance: Updated min PHP version to 8.1.

  8. Snippet Shortcodes 5.1.3

    • New Feature: Added the ability to specify whether your shortcode should automatically be injected into your header or footer.
    • Improvement: Only show multisite options if plugin is actually installed on a multisite
    • Bug fix: Ensured the multisite version of a shortcode is correctly deleted when the shortcode is deleted locally.

  4. Snippet Shortcodes 5.0.1

    • Improvement: Latest version number of Premium plugin is now fetched from the release manifest rather than hardcoded into the plugin.
    • Improvement: Only reach out to YeKen servers for update notices once a day, rather than hourly.
    • Bug fix: Corrected issue where each page call would look for update message from Yeken.

  5. Snippet Shortcodes 5.0a

  6. Snippet Shortcodes 4.2.5

    • Bug fix: In some instances, slug couldn’t be specified when not a Premium user.

    • Change: Updated Readme.txt.

  8. Snippet Shortcodes 4.2.3

  4. Snippet Shortcodes 4.1.5

    • Maintenance: Added a nonce to the main admin Add/Edit UI screen. Although the form was on an admin screen and not exposed to the public, it doesn’t hurt to add a nonce as well. Thanks Benedictus Jovan (aillesiM).

  6. Snippet Shortcodes 4.1.3
