20262 releases

  1. External Store for Shopify 1.7.0Latest

    • Security: Storefront API requests are now built from validated values only (numeric ids, whitelisted sort keys), which removes the GraphQL injection risk from the product id in the URL.
    • Security: All shortcode output is escaped, settings are sanitized and validated, secret fields are no longer printed into the settings page and AJAX actions require the manage_options capability.
    • Security: The Shopify domain is validated (no IPs or paths), API calls use the WordPress HTTP API and the hard-coded session cookie was removed.
    • Security: The debug helper is limited to administrators with WP_DEBUG enabled.
    • New: Response cache with a configurable duration and a Clear cache button.
    • New: Tools tab with Test connection, status information and Disconnect.
    • New: Shortcode generator on the settings page.
    • New: columns, sort, reverse and show-price shortcode attributes.
    • New: Compare-at (sale) price, sold out label and Product structured data (JSON-LD).
    • New: Optional price formatting in the website language.
    • New: Search filter now shows a message when nothing matches and works with several lists on one page.
    • New (Premium): Cart drawer with variant and quantity support, quick add buttons, sale badges, list / cards layouts, [wp-shopify-related] and [wp-shopify-cart-button].
    • Improvement: Responsive CSS grid, lazy loaded images, scripts and styles load only where needed, versioned assets for proper browser caching.
    • Improvement: Storefront API updated, deprecated fields removed, premium /pro folder is loaded after the core so it works as a clean add-on.
    • Improvement: The gallery thumbnail switch on the single product page now works on the front end.
    • Compatibility: Tested with WordPress 7.1. Requires WordPress 5.8 and PHP 7.4.
    • Cleanup: Plugin data (settings and cache) is removed when the plugin is deleted.

  2. External Store for Shopify 1.6.0

    • Security: Hardened premium template inclusion against potential Local File Inclusion (LFI) risks by adding sanitize_file_name(), strict whitelist validation, and fallback to ‘default’ template in shortcode handler. [22/02/2026 / Thanks to patchstack / timomangcut & @ratputin]
    • Improvement: Enhanced input sanitization in shortcode attributes for better overall security and reliability.
    • Compatibility: Tested with latest WordPress and Shopify API changes.
