What changed in this version
Version 1.7.10 Oct 9, 2026
- CHANGED: The collapse arrow next to the logo is a bolder double arrow in a round button, easier to see
- CHANGED: Collapsing and expanding the side menu is animated: the menu slides to its new width and its content fades back in
- ADDED: The Catalog developer menu also filters by origin, such as CodeCanyon, ThemeForest or a vendor category; origins and developers chosen together add up
- FIXED: Original marketplace cover sizing loads as a dedicated Catalog stylesheet, preventing side gutters when the shared panel CSS is replaced
- FIXED: Verified CodeCanyon and ThemeForest covers use the original landscape preview and show the complete artwork, with a fallback when the image is unavailable

- CHANGED: The Catalog filters share one block with the same height as the search field
- CHANGED: The button that collapses the side menu sits next to the logo, with a side panel icon
- ADDED: Clicking the developer name on a Catalog card filters by that developer

- FIXED: A site without an active plan whose domain is not authorized stays in free mode instead of being treated as paid
Version 1.7.6 Oct 7, 2026
- CHANGED: The renewal link shown before the plan expires opens the purchase of the same plan
- CHANGED: The panel never replaces a catalog item with a plugin of the same name from wordpress.org

- ADDED: Protection for wordpress.org updates (snapshot, site check, undo and block), with an on and off switch in Settings
- ADDED: In free mode, the plugin updates itself from a free channel verified by checksum
- ADDED: In free mode, Catalog and Template Kits are a browsable showcase updated daily; installing needs a plan, and White Label shows what the plan adds
- ADDED: The Catalog searches wordpress.org, with each result checked against the site's WordPress and PHP versions, its maintenance and the plugins already in use
- ADDED: The "For your site" panel warns about installed wordpress.org plugins that were closed, are unmaintained or were not tested with the site's WordPress
