🎉 New: Display Changelogs From Any Plugin Hosted on WordPress.org

This feature allows you to pull a changelog directly from WordPress.org, so you don’t have to create a new changelog on your site. Using either method below, the changelog will be fetched from WordPress.org and cached for 24 hours.

Block Editor/Gutenberg

1. Add the Changelog block to your page or post
2. From the Changelog Source dropdown, select WordPress.org Plugin
3. Enter the plugin slug in the text field (e.g., “akismet,” “jetpack,” “woocommerce”)

Shortcode

1. Add a shortcode solution (e.g., “block,” “widget,” etc.) to your page or post
2. Add a shortcode similar to:

[changelog_service plugin_slug="akismet"]

[changelog_service plugin_slug="akismet"]

🎉 New: Filter for ‘changelog-service’ Post Type Arguments

This new filter allows you to change the arguments used to set up the post type.

$args = apply_filters( 'caas_post_type_args', $args );
register_post_type( self::POST_TYPE, $args );

$args = apply_filters( 'caas_post_type_args', $args );
register_post_type( self::POST_TYPE, $args );

⚡ Change: Post Type Rewrite Slug Changed to “Changelog-Details” to Better Avoid Permalink Collisions

Changelogs are set up as a post type with a public URL, and the default URL was:

url.com/changelog/[slug]

url.com/changelog/[slug]

This caused a URL conflict because users wanted to create a page with a “changelog” slug (url.com/changelog) and then insert the shortcode/block on this page.

The new default URL is:

url.com/changelog-service/[slug]

url.com/changelog-service/[slug]
