Ainbae Product Collections for WooCommerce

1.2.1

• FIX: Shortcode collection cards now inherit full WooCommerce/theme grid layout, matching product category card sizing and alignment exactly.
• FIX: Removed sort arrows from the Collections column in the Products list table — now matches the native Categories column behaviour.
• Updated readme with expanded features, How It Works guide, Screenshots, Perfect For section, and additional FAQs.

1.2.0

• FIX: Collection archive pages now inherit exact layout (sidebar, columns, CSS) from Product Category pages on every WooCommerce theme. Done by making is_product_category() return true during template render, which is what themes check for layout decisions.
• FIX: All text domains corrected from ‘ainbae-collections’ to ‘ainbae-product-collections-for-woocommerce’ (50+ occurrences across all files).
• FIX: Unescaped output errors in settings page — all values pre-escaped before output.
• FIX: Removed unprefixed hook name (loop_shop_per_page apply_filters call).
• FIX: Removed slow meta_query from page adoption check; replaced with direct DB query.
• FIX: Missing /languages directory added.
• NEW: Thumbnail image upload field on Add New Collection admin screen (Issue #3).
• NEW: term_link filter ensures /collection/ URLs stay correct after layout spoof.
