Rooster One

Changelog

Earlier releases are listed in full in changelog.txt, which ships with the
plugin. Only the most recent are repeated here, to stay inside the length
WordPress.org allows for this section.

11.1.17 – 2026-09-08

• Your profit figures say when they rest on a default. A margin or cost built on a default rather than a number you entered is now labelled as such, so an estimate is never read as a measurement.
• Every locked Pro screen says what it would answer. Opening a Pro feature you do not have now explains the question it answers instead of showing you a locked panel.
• Five more dashboard cards can be pinned. The cards that could not be pinned before now behave like the rest.
• Opening a trial tells you what it needs and how long it runs. The trial asks for a work address, confirms your email, and shows the trial length Rooster Systems set rather than a fixed number.
• Your API keys are no longer loaded on every page view. Keys and login tokens have been moved out of the data WordPress loads for every visitor, which also trims what your storefront reads on each page.

11.1.16 – 2026-09-07

• No more white screen after a cache restart. A rare fatal error, when the main plugin and the front-end runtime both loaded the same class, is fixed for good.
• Simplify your site now names your server. The scan also sends which server your shop runs on, so it is filed with your other sites at Rooster Systems, and it asks for your consent again because of it.
• The trial asks for your name and company. A Rooster Systems account is now opened with a real person and company behind it.

11.1.15 – 2026-09-06

• Pro and the front-end runtime stop hiding their updates. Update checks are spread out and respect the channel’s limits instead of retrying through them, so a waiting release is no longer left unoffered while the free plugin updates normally.
• Pro and the runtime have their own icon. The Updates screen shows the Rooster mark for all three plugins instead of WordPress’s grey placeholder for two of them.
• The storefront product table works with only the front-end runtime active. A shop running the runtime without the main plugin could not draw the table at all; it now serves it on its own.
• A page tells you when a plugin you run also does its job. One line above the page names the plugin and links to its card on Overlaps, where the decision lives.
• PixelYourSite and Rooster One no longer count your purchases twice in silence. When both send to Meta, the Conversions page and Overlaps say so, show which pixel each sends to, and leave the choice to you.
• Overlaps now knows SiteGround Security, Google Site Kit, the caching plugins and the old checkout plugin. Each gets an honest card only when it is on this site, with a line on the page it overlaps, and Ctrl+K finds every one by name.
• Simplify your site. One button sends the names and versions of your plugins to Rooster Systems, with your consent and nothing else, and the answer comes back on Overlaps: which do a job Rooster One also does, which have a verified path across, and which we are still reviewing.

11.1.14 – 2026-09-06

• A product finder you can put on any page. The new Rooster One Data Table block puts your catalogue on the storefront with type-ahead search, filter dropdowns and paging, and loads none of its code on pages that do not use it.
• OpenAI Ads. Conversions are sent to OpenAI, the browser pixel ships with both plugins, and your catalogue exports in the format OpenAI Ads reads.
• Subscription, AI credits and models on one screen. Rooster One Pro now holds your plan, your credit balance and top-ups, and the choice of chat and embedding model, with each buy button beside the thing it buys.
• Model lists come from rooster.systems. Anthropic and Voyage models are checked centrally on a schedule and served to your shop, so a retired model never sits in your dropdown.
• Store pages belong to the plugin. One post type, English addresses instead of Greek ones, and templates that survive a change of theme, with a dry run and a way back before anything moves.
• A survey can follow a completed withdrawal. Withdrawals now record their completion, and a post-withdrawal survey can be set to run only at that point.
• Choose which columns are shown and which are filters. Data tables lets you drop a column from a table while keeping it as a filter, one table at a time.
• Every block is listed under Rooster One. Blocks in the editor carry the product’s name once instead of twice.

11.1.13 – 2026-09-04

• Your Pro standing is on every screen. A label in the header says whether Pro is on, on trial with days left, or paused because this site holds no seat, and opens the same three-line install status the settings screen shows.
• Insights Chat opens in a window of its own. A button under the search box on every admin page opens the chat as a separate window you can leave beside your work, and the page steps aside while it is open so one conversation is never overwritten by two.
• Post-order survey answers are read on one screen now. The Insights entry has been retired in favour of User Survey results, and the old address still takes you there.
• Customer order averages sit with the sales reports. The report reads one row per order, so it now belongs beside Order Patterns and All Products in Carts.
• Needs coverage sits with the editor that fixes it. The report was called “Needs filter management” though it manages nothing; it is now named for what it shows and sits directly under Product Needs in Operations → Orders & Feeds.
• ERP raw order data sits with the orders. The staging viewer moved from e-Shop Insights → Helpers to Operations → Orders & Feeds, beside Orders Export and Order Documents.
• The first SEO page says what it is. “When the engine writes the head” is now “Engine & Provider”.
• The form answers report is called Form Insights. Its menu entry and its heading now use the name the rest of the plugin already used for it.
• Cart adds are counted once, from one place, on any theme. Detection moved into a single block that runs before the page is clickable, so an add is recorded whether the button posts a form, uses AJAX or belongs to a theme with its own events.
• Adds made through the block storefront are recorded at last. The All Products and Product Collection blocks add straight through the Store API, which carried none of the markup we watched, so those adds appeared nowhere at all.
• A “Select options” link is no longer counted as a sale. On a catalogue of variable products that button only opens the product page, and one category page was reporting ten of them as cart adds.
• Cart adds now say which product they were. An add reported without its button was being stored against no product, which quietly emptied per-product cart reporting while leaving the totals looking right.
• Every cart add can be traced back to the visit that made it. The side cart, bulk swatch add and complementary picker recorded their adds under an identity the browser never saw, so those adds could not be tied to a session.
• The front-end runtime records cart adds on its own. A shop running the runtime without the main plugin was writing every add into a table that had never been created.
• Internal linking is no longer described as Greek-only. The feature works in any language and the menu now says so.

11.1.12 – 2026-09-03

• Say who you are and your groups come first. Getting set up asks “Who are you?” with six roles to pick from, and the menu and Home put that role’s groups first, fold the rest under “Everything else” with a count, and hide nothing.
• Set-up is a six-step wizard, and every step is on the wizard. Who you are, what the shop is, what you already run, what is connected, what is already on and a closing page of recommendations each render in place under a stepper; “Get started” on the welcome screen opens the same wizard inside that window.
• The menu bar shows who it is showing for. A “For:” pill on every admin page switches roles with one tick or goes back to everything, without opening the set-up screen.
• The menu wears one colour per group, and no two neighbours look alike. The thirteen groups now run from blue to amber in the order of the Rooster mark, and your role’s colour matches the group it lives in.
• “Performance” is now “Results & ROI”. The group that answers what your money and effort produced no longer shares a name with site speed.
• The welcome screen gets to the point. Its two sections now show a title and one line, and open when you want the argument behind them.
• Your subscription has a page of its own. Set Up → Rooster One Pro now holds the subscription, both Pro downloads, the Content Connector key and Remote Transfer, instead of sitting near the bottom of the Analytics page.
• Shops without a subscription can see what Pro adds. Every Pro screen is listed with what it would answer about this shop’s own products, orders and customers, and the list is built from the features themselves so it cannot fall behind them.
• Download Pro and the runtime from inside the plugin. Set Up → Rooster One Pro offers both downloads and a “check for updates now” whenever your subscription allows, not only when a file is missing.
• Core updates say when the runtime should follow. The Plugins screen adds one line under a Rooster One update when your runtime is behind it.
• A licence belongs to one site. The entitlement is bound to the host it was issued for and signed by rooster.systems; a staging copy keeps working read-only and a moved site gets three days’ grace.
• Over the seat limit, Pro pauses and the shop keeps selling. Pro screens lock while the storefront is untouched, and the runtime steps aside for core rather than stopping.
• The deadline for setting up two-factor authentication is a real date. It runs from the day you switch two-factor on, or from the day an account is created if that is later, instead of restarting for each person at their own next sign-in.

11.1.11 – 2026-09-02

• Quote requests show what anonymous shoppers looked at. The browsing trail, with time spent on each product, now fills in for shoppers who are not signed in.
• Each lead counts once. Quote requests and waitlist signups were booked twice in campaign reports; the duplicates are cleaned up on your first admin visit.
• Paid clicks on return visits are credited. A campaign click a week after a first visit no longer reads as direct.
• Admin search works in every installed language. An English word on a Greek screen finds the page, and “GDPR” finds cookie consent.
• Ready for WooCommerce 11.1. Variation galleries follow core’s always-on behaviour.

11.1.10 – 2026-09-01

• Your Meta advertising is reported under one name again. The same Facebook and Instagram campaigns were being filed under five different channels depending on how each ad’s link was tagged, so every report split one account into pieces. They now report as one.
• Paid visits that were counted as free traffic are counted as paid. Where an ad’s link did not describe itself as paid, the click was filed as organic, which flattered free traffic and understated what each order cost to win.
• One campaign is one row. Campaign names arriving with “+” where a space belonged were counted separately from the same campaign written with spaces, splitting its orders and its cost across two lines.
• Search boxes that pick brands, categories, needs and products open a proper panel. It was rendering narrow, detached from the field, with small text, and it moved under the pointer while results loaded.
• Fields adopt the colour of the section they are in. Focusing a box, picking an option and the chips you have chosen now all match the menu colour of the page, instead of always being pink.

11.1.9 – 2026-08-31

• Staff accounts can no longer be password-reset from the customer form, and the sign-in security screen now checks that your private address works.
• Quote cards keep their own colours instead of inheriting the theme’s, and staff notification emails no longer show every recipient to the others.

11.1.8 – 2026-08-31

• Post-order questionnaires now record what your customers tell you. Answers given on the thank-you page had never been stored.
• A results screen for every questionnaire. The average for each question, how it has moved since a date you choose, and one row per person so you can read what they wrote.
• The questionnaire introduces itself, in your words, with a title, an opening line, a thank-you and four text sizes you set. Answering keeps the customer on their order, and ranking questions can be dragged on a phone.
• Security Tightening, a new screen under Tools & Settings. Hide the WordPress version, switch off the theme and plugin editors, refuse XML-RPC and feeds, and send protective response headers. All off until you switch them on.
• Your browser tab now names the screen you are on.

11.1.7 – 2026-08-30

• Quote requests, for shops that use WooCommerce as a catalogue. A card on the product page takes an email and a question, shown by default wherever a product cannot actually be bought.
• The quote grows as they browse. Every later product offers “add this one to my quote as well”, and the visitor gets one email rather than one per product.
• You see what else they were looking at. Three panels per request: what they asked you to quote, what they viewed before asking, and what they have viewed since.
• Campaigns that create demand you cannot sell stop scoring zero. Quote requests and back-in-stock signups are now real conversions against the campaign that produced them, with a value you set yourself.
• Conversion Goals lists every goal it counts. The card showed four while the plugin counted six, and each goal now has a box for what one completion is worth to you.
• Your product pages stay cached. The card is delivered identically to every visitor and revealed in the browser, so one cached page still serves everybody.

11.1.6 – 2026-08-30

• Migrate from Yoast SEO and Rank Math, not just All in One SEO. SEO → Migrations reads whichever of the three has data on your site and carries across titles, descriptions, canonicals, robots settings, social cards, the site-wide settings and the redirects.
• Two safeguards worth naming. A page you forced to index in Yoast is no longer read as noindex, and a leftover per-type “noindex” behind a switched-off Rank Math toggle no longer deindexes that whole post type at cut-over.
• The assistant suggests eight more kinds of question. Nineteen categories now, 236 questions, every one of them something it can genuinely answer.
• Every number now sits under its own heading. Figures were lined up right while their heading stayed left, so in a wide table a value appeared directly beneath the next column’s heading.
• “Each page and its bound location” is now called Store Pages, which is what the page itself has always been titled.
• Reports can be pinned again, all of them. Twenty-eight of the thirty-nine report pages drew no pin button, because the list of pinnable pages was written by hand while the reports register themselves.
• “Old URLs to the right place” is now called Redirects, which is what it is and what you would look for.
• Priority list is back where it belongs. It now sits beside Stock Recovery under Performance → Missed & Recovered Revenue, instead of appearing as its own top-level menu button.
• The Insights menu reads as one menu again. Its six column headings are shades of the group’s own colour now, and Customer Order Averages and Post-Order Survey Results gained a heading of their own.

11.1.5 – 2026-08-29

• Search, consent and tracking scripts work again on cached pages. One entry in the list Rooster One hands WP Rocket contained a slash it cannot escape, which silently disabled every inline exclusion on the site, ours and every other plugin’s.
• Thumbnails under a product image now work on a phone. Tapping a thumbnail moves the main image, and swiping the main image scrolls the strip to keep the current thumbnail in view.
• The lightbox filmstrip is centred. Thumbnails that fit across the viewer sit in the middle rather than pinned to the left edge.
• Variation images no longer depend on which script loaded first. With WooCommerce’s variation gallery switched on it swaps the whole gallery and Rooster One stands aside; with it off Rooster One swaps the image in place.
• Private sign-in address and sign-up fixes. The custom sign-in address no longer leaks through a second path, sign-ups are no longer closed by accident, and two-factor enrolment works again.
• SEO redirects: fewer loops and a cleaner table. Loops that travel through WordPress’s own canonical hop are now caught.

11.1.4 – 2026-08-27

• Branch restock worksheets with a real approval flow (Pro). Each branch gets a worksheet over the preorder-eligible catalogue with its own 30/60-day sales, and submitted lines file under Supplier Orders for approval, ordering, receiving and reconciliation.
• Branch staff see only their own branch. Four assignable “Branch staff” roles, one per branch, with the cross-branch approval queue staying with the administrator.
• A fullscreen product lightbox of Rooster One’s own. Built on the image viewer WooCommerce already ships, with a thumbnail filmstrip, pager dots, an image counter, autoplay and a choice of backdrop.
• The lightbox can open by itself when a visitor arrives. The decision is made in the visitor’s own browser, so it stays correct behind full-page caching.
• Choose whose look the gallery, the lightbox and the recommendation rails wear. Theme compatibility now covers each of those surfaces separately, and nothing changes until you choose.
• Four ERP purchasing reports (Pro). Purchases by supplier, VAT reconciliation, landed cost and margin, and supplier price drift, built from the invoice scanner’s own data.
• The first charts on reports. A report can now carry a chart above its table, drawn from the current view and refreshed by the same filters and search as the rows.
• Every admin data table now behaves the same way. Some 250 tables across the admin share one component, with server-side sorting, filters, search, exports, bulk actions and honest empty states.
• Who may see, edit, run and export reports is now yours to decide. Four new capabilities and two assignable roles, seeded so nothing changes on upgrade day and revocable from day two.
• The event guest-list export now requires the export permission. Names, emails and phones no longer leave the site with any account that can edit posts.
• Stock Recovery honours the quantity you type. The Qty box was posted and ignored; an empty box still uses the engine’s suggestion.
• Both recoverable-value readings, side by side. The in-store-anchored figure and the sales predictor’s modelled estimate are two labelled columns, because they measure different things.
• Customer records finally carry the shop’s own latest-order date. The eshop latest-transaction field had been empty since the day it was created.
• A product mapped onto one of your subcategories now lands in the whole tree (Pro). Every category attach carries the ancestors too, and “Refresh all details” repairs the products already imported without their tree.
• The variable parent gets the SKU rule too (Pro). Parents imported earlier with the bare vendor code are found and re-keyed automatically instead of turning into duplicates.
• Rule the category mapping in bulk (Pro). Row selection with Confirm, Reject and “Set category on selected”, and every mass ruling teaches the matcher the way a one-by-one ruling does.
• A real import log (Pro). Every finished feed run lands in an Import run history kept for 30 days, naming what was created, what was updated and what errored.
• The feed source tables join the house tables. “Your feed sources” and “Feed imports on a clock” now render through the same sortable component as every other table.

11.1.3 – 2026-08-23

• Product pages with many variations open in a fraction of the time. The variation list was being rebuilt once for every swatch on the page, so sixty shades built it sixty times; measured on a live shop, 15.5 seconds down to 1.2.
• A new screen decides what Rooster One takes over from your theme. Storefront Display now names the theme it found and lets you choose, for each part of the shop separately, whether the theme keeps it or Rooster One takes it over.
• Our variation pickers can wear your theme’s design. The page gets the speed without being redesigned.
• Rooster One now works out what your attributes are. A one-off detection reads your own products to recognise colour and image attributes, whatever the swatch plugin that made them called them.
• Variation swatches can be placed anywhere. A new [aieo_product_swatches] shortcode, and a block that no longer has to sit inside a product loop.
• A Greek label read as a hardware term. The recommendations surface was translated as a name for mounting rails rather than a part of a shop page.

11.1.2 – 2026-08-22

• Feeds can bring weight and box dimensions with them (Pro). Weight, Length, Width and Height can now be mapped, from three separate fields or from one written as “10x20x30”, for simple products and for each variation of a variable one.
• When the feed’s units are not your shop’s (Pro). Make a field that multiplies the supplier’s and map that, so a supplier publishing kilograms into a shop that works in grams is no longer out by a factor of a thousand.
• “Refresh all details” (Pro). A button beside a feed’s “Run now” re-reads it once and fills in what earlier imports arrived without, leaving anything you pinned alone.
• Signing in by email works again. The address the form posts to was only ever created on ordinary page views, and never on the request that actually uses it.
• The sign-in form no longer stops accepting you. The security check behind the login and registration forms stopped renewing itself after about ninety seconds, and submissions were then rejected with nothing on screen to explain why.
• The “connect by email” button and its window survive any theme. Both now carry their own appearance, so a theme that discards the stylesheet can no longer break them.
• Greek wording that said the wrong thing is corrected, across the whole admin. Sixty-two labels had been translated into a real Greek word with the wrong meaning, which is why nothing looked broken.
• “Event” now reads correctly in both of its meanings. One entry was serving both the heading over the tracking-event log and the name of the Events feature, and Greek has a separate word for each.

11.1.1 – 2026-08-22

• Text that should have been in your language, and was not. Built-in wording was saved into the database instead of being looked up as the page is drawn, so it stuck in English whatever your shop was set to; anything you typed yourself is left exactly as you typed it.
• Wording set by one language of admin no longer reaches everyone else. Search engine descriptions are now built in the shop’s language rather than in the language of whoever last edited the product.
• Two hundred pieces of text can be translated for the first time. The marketplace importer’s messages were written against a translation file that was never loaded.
• Some text could not be translated at all. The badge labels, the add-to-cart button text, the product code labels and the trust badges are translatable now, Greek included.
• Your shop’s own loyalty points are recorded again. The “Eshop Loyalty Points” field on a customer is now filled from the points ledger, including for shops that were already awarding points before this update.
• A faster storefront on every page a visitor loads uncached. Table checks and character-set lookups are remembered rather than repeated on every page view, removing about 22 milliseconds of database work per page.
• Table creation no longer runs on shopper page views. Setting up the database now happens in the admin, on the command line and on scheduled tasks.

11.1.0 – 2026-08-20

This release also carries everything listed under 11.0.13 in changelog.txt, which was never published separately.

• Pro features now carry their code in the Pro plugin. The catalogue importer, product feeds between sites, duplicate products, and the Greek text matching all three rely on, have moved into Rooster One Pro. The free plugin keeps every screen, every description and the upgrade path, so you can still find these features, read what they do and see what they would give you — and a screen whose engine is not installed says exactly that instead of failing. If you use any of them, update Rooster One Pro to 11.1.0 at the same time.
• Screens that were always Pro now say so. “Import products from a marketplace” and “Product feeds between sites” have been Pro in the capability list since it was written, but neither screen showed it and the feeds screen never checked. Both now show what Pro gives you, and the Connections page marks every Pro service in its directory instead of listing them as though they were included.
• The one-click marketplace import (eFood, Wolt, Etsy, Amazon) requires Pro. It always counted as a Pro feature; it simply never enforced it.
• Nothing changes on your storefront. Recommendation rails, related content and audience filtering keep reading what was already computed for them, exactly as before, and keep working if the Pro plugin is ever deactivated. Behavioural data collection stays in the free plugin so a shop that upgrades later still has its history.

Earlier versions

10.x and earlier releases are listed in changelog.txt, which ships with the plugin.
