Paradise Widgets for Elementor

Changelog

3.1.0

• Added: Initial translation template at languages/paradise-widgets-for-elementor.pot (651 translatable strings).
• Added: WordPress.org plugin-directory marketing assets in .wordpress-org/ — icon.svg (256×256), icon-256x256.png / icon-128x128.png, banner-772x250.svg / banner-1544x500.svg plus PNG exports, and a README documenting the SVN deployment mapping.
• Changed: i18n audit pass — ~166 Elementor control strings (label, label_on, label_off, description, placeholder, title) across widgets/, admin/, and includes/ are now wrapped in __() so they’re picked up by wp i18n make-pot and translatable.
• Changed: Paradise_EW_Admin widget and feature registries refactored from static array properties to static methods so __() calls are valid inside them (PHP forbids function calls in static property initialisers). Public API (get_widget_registry() / get_feature_registry()) unchanged.
• Changed: Location %d placeholder in Site Info now carries a /* translators: */ comment.

3.0.1

• Fixed: International display incorrectly prepended the widget’s Country Code setting to numbers that already had their own +CC prefix. The shared phone helper now carries a built-in ITU-T E.164 country-code table (~120 entries) and detects the embedded cc from inputs like +37493583161 (Armenia) before the strip-and-format pipeline runs.
• Changed: The three phone widgets (Phone Link, Phone Button, Floating Call Button) now show an Elementor-native dashed placeholder when the phone number field is empty, instead of an inline red-text warning. Editor only — frontend stays silent.
• Added: Paradise_Widget_Base::render_editor_placeholder( string $hint ) shared helper.

3.0.0

• Changed: Plugin renamed from “Paradise Elementor Widgets” to “Paradise Widgets for Elementor” to comply with WordPress.org trademark policy. Text domain changed from paradise-elementor-widgets to paradise-widgets-for-elementor. No data migration required.
• Added: Tested up to: 6.9 in the plugin header.

2.9.0

• Added: Six new Custom Field types — date, time, email, number, color, range. Date and time render via WordPress’s site-wide date_format / time_format by default. Number uses FILTER_VALIDATE_INT (rejects '1.5' rather than truncating). Color validates #RRGGBB. Range is an open-bounded integer pair (Min,Max) — pick any integers; sanitize swaps endpoints if out of order.
• Added: Array-shaped el_category in the type registry — email is the first type whose Elementor dynamic-tag binding is multi-category (appears in both TEXT and URL dropdowns so it can populate Heading text AND a Button URL as mailto:).
• Added: Live hex display next to the color picker in admin.

2.8.1

• Fixed: Cookie Consent Bar widget icon — eicon-cookie doesn’t exist in Elementor’s icon font; replaced with eicon-info-circle so the widget shows an icon in the editor’s widget panel.

2.8.0

• Added: Custom Fields system — user-defined static fields organized into groups, accessed via [paradise_field key="…"] shortcode and three Elementor Dynamic Tags (Text / URL / Image). First types: text, textarea, url, image. Storage in paradise_custom_fields option. Type registry is filterable via paradise_custom_field_types for site-level extension.
• Added: “Custom Fields” admin page under Paradise menu with drag-to-reorder, type-aware value inputs, and the WP media picker for image fields. Group slug and field key auto-derive from their label when blank.

2.7.0

• Added: Feature Card example widget — a heavily-commented reference widget for developers extending Paradise. Lives in its own “Paradise Examples” Elementor category, disabled by default. New optional registry flags example and default (per-widget enabled-by-default state). Companion CSS at assets/css/feature-card-example.css.
• Added: Per-row Copy Shortcode buttons on Site Info phone, email, and social rows. Each button reads the row’s current (unsaved) label/platform and writes the matching [paradise_site_info ...] shortcode to the clipboard. Click feedback: green checkmark icon swap plus a “Copied!” toast above the button.
• Added: Brand-coloured platform icons next to each social <select> on the Site Info page (Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Snapchat, Threads, WhatsApp). Updates live when the platform changes. New helper Paradise_Site_Info::social_icon_svg().
• Added: Settings page improvements — widgets grouped into three cards (Production / Developer Examples / Features), each with Enable all / Disable all bulk actions. Live filter input narrows the visible list as you type. “Off by default” badge for widgets that ship disabled.
• Added: “Unsaved changes” pill in the Settings and Site Info page headers. Native beforeunload warning blocks accidental navigation. Clears on save.
• Added: Confirm dialog before destructive actions on Site Info — wordier copy for locations (which carry phones, emails, address, hours), short copy for row-level deletes.
• Added: Visual separation between Locations and their sub-sections on Site Info — each location reads as a distinct card with phones/emails/address/hours as clearly separated panels.
• Changed: Site Info admin page — card layout reshaped, Remove/Add buttons restyled as icon-only with leading plus glyphs and a soft-red destructive tint, intro rewritten as a two-method callout (Dynamic Tags recommended; shortcode for outside Elementor).
• Changed: Import / Export admin page — header now matches the Settings page (title + version badge); inline <style> block moved to assets/css/admin.css.
• Changed: Admin asset enqueue — admin.js now enqueued alongside admin.css on every Paradise admin page. Page detection uses a prefix check so new submenu pages get the assets automatically.
• Fixed: Copy Shortcode now works on plain HTTP (e.g. local dev on Valet *.test domains). navigator.clipboard is only defined in secure contexts; falls back to a temporary <textarea> + document.execCommand('copy') so the button works regardless of HTTPS. Red “Copy failed” toast surfaces if both paths fail.
• Fixed: Google Maps preview iframe no longer flickers with 400 errors during typing or on malformed URLs. The map URL field validates the URL as an https://google.com/maps/embed URL before pointing the iframe at it.
• Fixed: Save confirmation visible after long-form save — Site Info now smooth-scrolls the success notice into view on the post-save reload, so users on long pages don’t miss the confirmation.
• Documentation: README — Developer Guide gains a “Learning from the example widget” subsection that points new contributors at the example widget as a complete, commented blueprint.

2.6.0

• Added: Paradise_Widget_Base abstract class — a small shared base inherited by every bundled widget. Provides default get_categories(), conventional asset-handle naming from get_name(), and a get_default_handle() helper. Plugins/themes that fork Paradise can extend it to get the same conventions.
• Changed: All 15 bundled widgets now extend Paradise_Widget_Base, dropping repeated get_categories() and get_style_depends() overrides. Widgets with a JS file declare get_script_depends() through $this->get_default_handle(). Bottom Navigation Bar preserves its extra Font Awesome handles via array_merge(parent::get_style_depends(), […]). No behaviour change for end users.
• Documentation: README — File Structure now lists includes/class-paradise-widget-base.php; the Developer Guide’s “Adding a new widget” section reflects the current workflow (extend the base, registry takes label/description/js only, asset files at conventional paths get registered automatically).

2.5.0

• Changed: Asset registration is now registry-driven — enqueue_assets() reduced from ~170 hardcoded calls to a single loop over Paradise_EW_Admin::$widget_registry. Adding a new widget no longer requires editing the main plugin file.
• Changed: Asset handle naming normalized to paradise-{slug} for both CSS and JS of each widget (no more mixed -style / -script suffixes).
• Changed: Raised minimum PHP version from 7.4 to 8.0 to match the codebase (uses mixed parameter types and typed properties).
• Added: Elementor compatibility admin notices — shown when Elementor is missing or older than the required minimum (3.5.0). Widget/asset registration is skipped on outdated Elementor to avoid fatals.
• Fixed: Bottom Navigation Bar — corrected asset handles so the widget’s CSS and JS actually load on the frontend. The widget previously referenced paradise-bn-bottom-nav-style / -script while the main file registered paradise-bottom-nav-style / -script; the mismatch meant nothing loaded.
• Fixed: Phone Link — removed dead get_uwidget_type() method (typo of a non-existent Elementor method that was never called).
• Fixed: Floating Call Button — corner offsets are now applied to the position-fixed inner wrapper rather than the static outer wrapper, so the button pins to the chosen corner with the configured offsets (previously it fell back to its document-flow position).
• Fixed: FAQ Accordion — closed items no longer leak the first line of their answer (grid-template-rows: minmax(0, 0fr) overrides the implicit min-content track sizing).
• Fixed: FAQ Accordion — no more TypeError on templates where elementorFrontend.hooks is not yet ready (e.g. elementor_canvas); the editor re-init now checks both elementorFrontend and .hooks before calling addAction.
• Documentation: README gains a Screenshots section with seven viewport-correct widget screenshots.

2.4.0

• Added: FAQ Accordion widget — accordion / multi-expand mode, Elementor icon picker (open/closed state), icon position (left/right), open-first-item default, Schema.org FAQPage JSON-LD, full typography and color controls
• Added: FAQ Post Type — each post is a “FAQ Set” with unlimited Q&A items stored in post meta; TinyMCE rich text editor for answers; toggle on/off in Paradise → Elementor Widgets → Settings
• Fixed: Elementor editor CSS appearing as visible text content when FAQ Accordion widget (CPT source) was on the page — caused by apply_filters('the_content', …) being called inside widget render

2.3.0

• Added: Site Info centralized data store (phones, emails, addresses, socials, business hours) with shortcode and Elementor Dynamic Tags
• Added: Business Hours widget — live Open Now / Closed badge, today highlight, 12 h / 24 h format
• Added: LocalBusiness Schema widget — Schema.org JSON-LD with 14 business type subtypes
• Added: Google Map widget — Place and Directions modes, satellite/hybrid/terrain, zoom, border radius, shadow
• Added: Social Links widget — Site Info or custom source, brand colors, hover animations, shapes
• Added: Announcement Bar widget — icon, message, CTA, dismiss with session/days/permanent memory
• Added: Cookie Consent Bar widget — Accept/Decline, localStorage expiry, analytics events
• Added: Back to Top widget — scroll threshold, smooth scroll
• Added: Off-Canvas Menu widget — WordPress menu in slide-in panel, JS API trigger
• Added: Sticky Header widget — scroll effects (shadow, background, shrink)
• Added: Site Info map_url field on address entries
• Added: Drag-to-reorder for all Site Info repeater sections
• Added: label attribute on [paradise_site_info] shortcode
• Changed: register_widgets() now driven by a registry array — one entry per widget
• Fixed: Google Map /maps/dir/ URLs refused to connect in iframe — now rewritten correctly
• Fixed: Google Map zoom ignored with /maps/embed?q= format — now uses reliable URL format
