VidShop 1.9.0Latest
- Improved: The optional usage-data screen.
- New: Ready for three new VidShop Pro 1.5.0 features: the Circle Stories layout (round story bubbles like Instagram and TikTok), the Liquid Glass layout (shop right on the video card), and video labels like “Best seller” on any card. The feed builder and the video form show them, and VidShop Pro tur…
- Improved: The feed builder preview now uses your store’s own fonts and styles.
- Improved: Switching between the products in a video is instant after the first look. Product details are reused for two minutes, and reloaded after an add to cart so stock stays right.
- Improved: The feed builder only shows the options the chosen layout uses.
- Improved: If your VidShop Pro is older than a feature, VidShop now says so and asks you to update it, instead of showing an upgrade offer.
- Fixed: Some PRO badges in the feed builder showed as faded plain text. Every PRO badge now looks the same.
- Fixed: The Stories Carousel layout grew very large with one or two columns. It now keeps a sensible size at any column count.
- Fixed: Some themes add a margin to every image, which pushed product photos out of view in the player, the product details and the cart.
- Developer: New hooks let add-ons draw their own layouts, card badges and builder settings. See HOOKS.md.
VidShop 1.8.0
- New: After you activate VidShop, an optional screen asks whether you want to share usage data with us: your site address, your WordPress, PHP and plugin versions, and the plugins and themes you use. Nothing is sent unless you click Allow. VidShop Pro users don’t see this screen. The settings page s…
- New: An optional newsletter signup box on VidShop’s own pages. It sends nothing unless you click Subscribe.
- New: When you deactivate VidShop you can tell us why. “Skip and deactivate” sends nothing.
VidShop 1.7.1
- Improved: On the Colors and Shopping steps of the feed builder, the live preview now opens the first video for you. Your accent color and shopping settings mostly show inside the player, so you can see each change as you make it. This applies to the Grid and Carousel layouts; the Stories layouts al…
- Fixed: A custom accent color (Pro) showed as the default blue in the feed builder preview. The preview now shows your color, like the live feed does.
- Fixed: Adding a product to the cart inside the feed builder preview no longer sends the preview to the checkout page or your custom URL when one of those redirects is set.
- Changed: The upgrade and plugin links now open the VidShop page at wpcreatix.com/vidshop/.
VidShop 1.7.0
- New: WordPress Abilities API support — AI agents and MCP clients can now read videos, storefronts and analytics, and update videos and storefronts, gated by manage_options.
VidShop 1.6.1
- Fixed: Prices in the video feed now match WooCommerce exactly. Stores that charge tax saw a different amount in the cart, because the feed read the raw product price instead of the one WooCommerce displays.
- Fixed: Cart amounts on zero-decimal currencies (Mexican peso set to 0 decimals, yen, won, Chilean peso) were shown 100 times too small.
- Fixed: Variable products showed their cheapest variation as an exact price. They now show the full price range, like the shop does.
- Fixed: Cart totals follow your “Display prices during cart and checkout” setting.
- New: Out-of-stock products are marked in the feed, and the Add to Cart button says so.
- New: The quantity selector stops at the stock you actually have, and shows “Only N left in stock”.
- Improved: A refused add-to-cart now shows WooCommerce’s own reason instead of a generic retry message.
- Fixed: A video feed built from hand-picked videos showed nothing if a tag filter had been set before switching to “specific videos”. Tags narrow your whole library, so they no longer apply to a hand-picked list — matching what the feed builder’s own preview already showed.
- Fixed: Video and product thumbnails no longer pick up a stray margin from the theme.
VidShop 1.6.0
- New: A completely redesigned admin — new sidebar, new Videos table, and a new Analytics dashboard with charts, a conversion funnel, and per-feed performance.
- New: Upload and AI generation now run as guided step-by-step flows, with real upload progress and thumbnail frames picked from your own video.
- New: A Trash screen showing what was removed, by whom, and when — restore individually or empty it in one go.
- New: Sort your videos and feeds by view count.
- Improved: The video list now shows duration, source, author and linked products at a glance, with bulk selection.
- Improved: The feed builder’s live preview sits in a browser frame showing your own store’s address.
- Improved: Faster dashboards and feeds — the analytics tables are now indexed, and a page of videos is counted in one query instead of two per video.
VidShop 1.5.1
- New: A “More from WPCreatix” section that helps you find the other WPCreatix plugins, with one-click install and activate right from the VidShop admin.
- Improved: Refreshed the “Generate with AI” dashboard banner, which you can now dismiss.
VidShop 1.5.0
- New: Video Feeds — save a video display once and embed it anywhere with a small shortcode like [vidshop id="123"]. Edit the feed and every page using it updates. Your existing [vsfw-videos ...] shortcodes keep working unchanged.
- New: A step-by-step feed builder with a real live preview (desktop, tablet, and mobile) replaces the old shortcode popup. The video picker now shows your library right away — browse and click instead of typing to search.
- New: A Video Feeds screen to edit, duplicate, and delete saved feeds, with a proper delete confirmation and one-click shortcode copy.
- Improved: After adding to cart, the cart now opens by default (configurable per feed) and the confirmation shows as a toast over the video instead of flashing away with the product panel.
VidShop 1.4.1
- Fixed: Average view time could show raw fractions like “1.99s” on the Analytics Dashboard and the per-video analytics page. Times now display as whole seconds, and the seconds part can no longer round up to “1m 60s”.
VidShop 1.4.0
- New: When an AI render fails because the photo was rejected on safety grounds, the banner now tells you whether to tweak and retry or use a different photo. A genuine block (every model agreed the image isn’t usable) shows a distinct red banner that says so plainly, so you don’t burn time retrying…
- Improved: The banner reads the typed failure reason straight from the cloud — image-format problems now show the exact thing to fix instead of a generic “couldn’t generate” line.
- Under the hood: the AI generations table gains two columns (failure_code, failure_reason) so the typed reason can be stored and shown. Migration is automatic on update.
VidShop 1.3.0
- New: Generate shoppable videos with AI — connect a free WPCreatix account (a free video to try) or VidShop Pro for more, pick a product, and VidShop turns its image into a ready-to-sell shoppable video.
- New: “Generate with AI” lives right where you create videos — on the Videos screen and as an option on Add New Video — plus a one-click entry point in the product editor.
- New: An app-wide progress banner tracks renders in the background and links you straight to each finished video.
- New: Finished AI videos are added to your library automatically, linked to the chosen product, and marked as AI-generated.
VidShop 1.2.0
- New: Added an extensibility layer: third-party add-ons can register PHP apply_filters / do_action and JS @wordpress/hooks filters to extend admin surfaces, REST responses, and shortcodes without modifying plugin code.
- New: JS filters for third-party admin UI extensions: vsfw.admin.pages, vsfw.admin.home.widgets, vsfw.admin.pages.videoStats.body, vsfw.admin.shortcodeModal.generatedShortcode, vsfw.admin.pages.tags.body, vsfw.admin.videoForm.tagsSection, vsfw.admin.videosList.tagsFilter.
- New: PHP filters and actions on /vsfw/v1/videos: vsfw_video_list_query_params, vsfw_video_list_query, vsfw_video_response_data, vsfw_video_list_response, vsfw_video_saved.
- New: PHP filters: vsfw_video_shortcode_parsed_atts, vsfw_tags_filtering_enabled, vsfw_admin_localized_data, vsfw_frontend_localized_data.
- New: Shortcode generator now supports drag-and-drop reordering for specific videos.
- New: orderby (date, title, id, random) and order (asc, desc) shortcode attributes for “all videos”.
- New: Show / hide view count and like count, both as toggles in the shortcode generator and as show-views / show-likes shortcode attributes.
- New: Price formatting now mirrors WooCommerce — currency symbol position, thousands/decimal separators and decimal count are honored everywhere VidShop displays a price (product cards, modals, dashboard analytics).
- New: Price display settings page (VidShop → Settings) lets you override WooCommerce’s defaults just for VidShop, with a one-click “Reset to WooCommerce defaults” button.
- New: tags="..." / tags-operator="OR|AND" shortcode attributes; honored when an add-on plugin enables tag filtering by returning true from the vsfw_tags_filtering_enabled filter.
- Improved: Admin bundle now depends on wp-hooks so extensions can register JS filters reliably.
- Improved: Settings REST endpoint now correctly persists null-friendly defaults.
