Katina Link Manager

Changelog

1.2.1

• Cloaked link paths are now disallowed in robots.txt (using your configured prefix). The redirects already sent X-Robots-Tag: noindex; the Disallow also keeps crawlers from spending crawl budget fetching redirect URLs just to be told noindex. Sites that discourage search engines are left untouched.

1.2.0

• New Reports screen. Clicks per day, top referrers, top countries, and top links, over a date range you pick (or one of the presets: 7, 30, 90, 365 days, this month, last month, year to date).
• Reports work across every link or for a single link — pick one from the Link filter, or click through from Top links.
• Export the clicks in the selected range to CSV.
• The chart is drawn server-side as inline SVG, so the screen pulls in no charting library and no external assets.

1.1.5

• Link health checks are now off by default and require explicit opt-in. They no longer run on activation; enable them under Settings → Modules to start the background checks. This makes the plugin’s outbound requests fully opt-in.
• Removed the load_plugin_textdomain() call — WordPress.org loads translations automatically since WordPress 4.6.

1.1.4

• Admin styles now load on every Katina admin screen. The dashboard, settings, tools, and setup wizard could render unstyled because the asset gate keyed only on the post type, which some of those screens don’t carry in their URL.
• Cleaned up the “Skip setup” link on the setup wizard so it reads as a plain text link instead of an outlined button.

1.1.3

• Link health: only 404 and 410 count as broken now. Auth and anti-bot refusals (400/401/403/405/406/429) get a browser-profile retry and, if still refused, are marked “unknown” for manual review instead of “broken” — affiliate networks routinely block automated checks while serving real visitors fine.
• Follow up to 5 redirects when checking link health.

1.1.2

• Sanitize and validate the remaining $_SERVER reads (user agent, request URI, query string, and the link fixer’s REMOTE_ADDR rate-limit key).
• Sanitize the uploaded file’s tmp_name and unslash $_POST values before sanitize_key in the migration screen.

1.1.1

• Sanitize $_SERVER values used for client IP detection.
• Inline known sanitize_callback functions in register_setting() calls for clarity.
• Rename internal JavaScript globals to the plugin prefix.
