Changelog
2.18.48
- Moved the inactive-member win-back notification feature into the premium edition only.
2.18.47
- Fixed the plugin header declaring “Clevie Community pro” instead of “Clevie Community”, which Plugin Check reported as a mismatch with the readme.
- Fixed a sanitized-but-still-flagged input on the account deletion form (an unnecessary extra trim() was breaking Plugin Check’s ability to recognize the sanitizer).
- Correctly scoped the slow-query notices around the one-time meta key migration that runs on plugin upgrade and uninstall.
2.18.46
- Addressed the WordPress.org review team’s sanitization/escaping feedback: input is now sanitized at the point it is read wherever possible, and every remaining exception (passwords, file uploads, functions that already return escaped HTML) carries a documented reason instead of a bare suppression comment.
2.18.45
- Fixed WordPress.org metadata consistency for the generated free version.
2.18.27
- Reorganised the plugin settings screen with a compact section navigation while keeping the existing settings API and save flow.
2.18.21
- Added reversible post offline functionality for authors. “Delete post” takes a post offline without permanently deleting its content.
2.18.19
