Asteris Utility Suite – SMTP, Image Optimization, Activity Log, Accessibility & Analytics

Changelog

1.0.8

  • Two more free modules — the free edition now ships seven. Added Duplicate Post (one-click clone of any post, page or custom post type; replaces Yoast Duplicate Post) and Links (cloak any URL into a short branded link on your own domain + click tracking — a lightweight Pretty Links alternative).

1.0.7

  • SMTP + Email Logs: redesigned the settings screen into a clearer two-step flow — turn it on and choose your email service, then enter your login. The technical host / port / encryption fields auto-fill from your chosen service and tuck into an optional Advanced section. Plainer labels and help text throughout.

1.0.6

  • Security: the Safe-Mode kill switch now verifies the manage_options capability before any cookie is set or cleared, so the exit URL (?asteris_safe_mode=0) can no longer change state via an unauthenticated request.

1.0.2

  • Security hardening: tightened a REST permission check, added nonce + capability verification to an admin GET action, unslashed/sanitised all request inputs, and converted database queries to fully prepared statements with %i table identifiers.

1.0.1

  • Code Snippets module removed — superseded by WPCode / Code Snippets (both free on WordPress.org) which serve this category competently. Asteris focuses on modules where it adds genuine differentiation (analytics pipeline, SEO+AI suite in paid, accessibility automation). Existing snippets in the wp_asteris_snippets table are preserved on upgrade — install a dedicated snippets plugin to continue using them. Module count is now 5.

1.0.0

  • Initial release. Six modules: Code Snippets (full), SMTP, Image Optimisation, Activity Log, Accessibility Scanner, Analytics + Pixels.
