New: Live store summary — BrikPanel now generates a continuously updated brikpanel-store-summary.md file that captures every metric the panel collects (sales, orders, AOV, conversion rate, top products, top countries, customer LTV / RFM / cohort highlights, inventory health and more) in a compact, human-readable format. Designed for two flows: paste it into any AI chat for instant store interpretation, or hand it to a data analyst, accountant or investor as a one-page snapshot of the whole shop
New: Cache plugin integration on the BrikPanel top admin bar — when WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, WP Fastest Cache, Cache Enabler, Hummingbird, Comet Cache, Breeze, Autoptimize, SG Optimizer, Swift Performance or Nginx Helper is active, a “Clear cache” button appears in the top bar and purges the detected provider in one click
New: Quick edit “Downloadable” toggle for virtual / digital products in the product list — when a product is digital, the slide-in quick edit now exposes the downloadable switch so digital products can be flipped without opening the full product editor (works for both simple and variable products)
New: Gutenberg compatibility — the simplified product editor and the BrikPanel order screens now coexist cleanly with the block editor, including stores that have Gutenberg forced on for product post type
Improvement: Digital product settings (Virtual / Downloadable / Files / Download limits) are now positioned above the description and short description fields in the product editor — the most relevant toggles for digital sellers are visible without scrolling
Fix: “Top Countries by Orders” and “Top Countries by Customers” dashboard cards now show accurate values — the previous query joined the wrong address table on HPOS stores and double-counted shipping/billing entries on legacy stores. Both code paths have been rewritten and the totals now match wc_get_orders and the customer table exactly
Fix: “Visitors by Device” dashboard widget data source corrected — device classification is now derived from the stored User-Agent on the wp_brikpanel_visitors table (not from a stale transient), so desktop / mobile / tablet shares match the visitor log row-for-row
2.5.3 (2026-04-25)
New: Full SEO plugin compatibility — Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO and SEOPress metaboxes (including the SEO score panel) now render and save inside the BrikPanel product editor, with all of their features available from the simplified screen
New: Custom BrikPanel-styled top admin bar that replaces the default WordPress toolbar across the entire admin (not only the dashboard) with a larger, e-commerce-focused notification bell and quick links — enabled by default and toggleable from settings
New: Sold downloadable products column on the order edit page — see how many times each download has been redeemed by the customer, like the legacy panel used to show
New: BrikMarket marketplace analytics block on the dashboard — when BrikMarket is active, marketplace orders are excluded from the storefront conversion rate and a dedicated section shows orders per marketplace, share by marketplace, and top categories from marketplace orders
New: Compatibility with major subscription / membership plugins — WooCommerce Subscriptions, Subscriptions for WooCommerce (WP Swings), MemberPress, Paid Memberships Pro, WooCommerce Memberships, YITH WooCommerce Subscription, SUMO Subscriptions, WebToffee Subscriptions for WooCommerce and Restrict Content Pro
New: Advanced filtering and segmentation for customers and orders — combine spend range, product, location, date and more to build saved segments
New: Customer analytics suite — Cohort retention, Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) and RFM segmentation, all calculated from your store data and visualized in the dashboard
New: Developer hooks & filters system — brikpanel_after_product_save action, brikpanel_product_editor_boxes filter and many more, with a built-in developer documentation popup in settings (one-click copy buttons for every snippet)
New: Brand field in the refactored product editor — the WooCommerce product_brand taxonomy is now first-class alongside categories and tags
New: Admin and Site Enhancements (ASE) custom columns are now respected in the BrikPanel product, order and customer lists
New: Per-user toggles for any third-party / SEO column in the products list — extra columns added by Yoast, Rank Math, ASE and other plugins can now be hidden from the existing “Columns” dropdown
Improvement: Hardened performance for low-resource WooCommerce hosting — heavy queries are batched, cached and run through Action Scheduler so the dashboard, customer analytics and bulk editor stay responsive on shared hosting
Improvement: All JavaScript and jQuery strings audited for translation — every customer-facing message in the JS layer now goes through wp_localize_script so translators no longer miss strings hidden in scripts
Fix: Sidebar menu no longer flickers / disappears on upward scroll — the sticky positioning CSS that fought with the new top bar has been corrected
Fix: Variation tab no longer loses unsaved state when navigating back — the editor now restores the in-progress variation form without needing to close and reopen the product
Fix: PHP notice raised when the refactored product editor module was disabled in settings is now resolved
Fix: “Top Marketplace Products” and “Top Categories from Marketplaces” cards now correctly render data for the selected date range (last 30 days and custom ranges)
Fix: Removed the redundant “Storefront metrics shown below exclude marketplace orders…” helper notice now that marketplace data has its own dedicated section
2.2.1 (2026-04-24)
Improvement: “Force native login submission” is now enabled by default so custom authentication plugins (2FA, SSO, or captcha layers) keep working on a fresh install without extra configuration. Existing sites keep their current setting
Fix: Newly created categories in the simplified product editor now reflect instantly in the checklist and parent dropdown with correct hierarchy, depth indentation, and alphabetical ordering — previously the new entry was appended flat at the end and missed the depth class, and the first category on a product with none at all was silently dropped
2.2.0 (2026-04-20)
Improvement: New “Force native login submission” toggle under WooCommerce → Settings → BrikPanel → Login Page for custom authentication plugins that aren’t auto-detected, plus a brikpanel_disable_ajax_login filter hook for developers. When any of these conditions trigger, the AJAX login endpoint is no longer registered at all, reducing the attack surface
2.1.6 (2026-04-20)
New: “Private” status filter on the product list — quickly isolate products that are published privately alongside the existing All / Published / Draft / Trash tabs
New: Hover popover for the Category column in the product list — the main category stays inline and a “+N” badge reveals every remaining category on hover, so products assigned to multiple categories no longer hide their taxonomy
New: Visual / HTML toggle on both the short description and full description editors in the simplified product editor — paste raw HTML without losing formatting, switch back to the rich-text view at any time
Improvement: ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) and other third-party metabox compatibility hardened — ACF field groups targeting the product post type now bootstrap, render, and save correctly on the BrikPanel product editor (file, image, gallery, repeater, true/false and text fields all tested). The _acf_nonce / _acf_post_id payload is emitted so save round-trips validate. Applies to both simple and variable products
Improvement: “Additional fields” / third-party metabox card redesigned — inputs no longer overflow the right edge of the card, JavaScript-driven fields (ACF, custom pickers) receive their init payload, and text/number inputs are now fully editable across every registered metabox
Improvement: Category list rows on the categories page are now more compact — reduced vertical padding and tighter line-height so more categories fit on screen without scrolling
Improvement: Downloadable product file URLs are now editable in place — the file input accepts direct edits and the media library browse button replaces the existing file instead of requiring a delete-and-reupload cycle
Improvement: Custom login page is now fully compatible with 2FA and SSO plugins — when Wordfence Login Security, Two Factor, WP 2FA, miniOrange, Solid Security, Duo, Rublon, or Google Authenticator is active, BrikPanel keeps its modern styling but hands the form submit to the native wp-login.php flow so multi-step authentication works exactly as the plugin author intended. Closes a silent 2FA bypass where AJAX login could skip a redirect-based challenge page
2.1.5 (2026-04-17)
New: Inline stock-status toggle in the product list — flip “In stock / Out of stock” directly from the row without opening a popup, for both simple and variable products
New: “Columns” dropdown above the product list — hide the columns you don’t need (SKU, Price, Stock, Category, Status, Image) and the preference is remembered per user
New: WordPress widgets position setting for the dashboard — display the embedded WP widgets section above or below BrikPanel analytics (handy for shop managers who rely on widget shortcuts)
New: brikpanel_dashboard_section_order filter hook — developers can reorder any dashboard section via a snippet
New: brikpanel_products_columns filter hook — register custom columns in the product list
Improvement: Login page AJAX falls back to the native WordPress submit flow when the AJAX endpoint is blocked (e.g. WP Hide / security plugins renaming admin-ajax.php), so users are no longer stuck on a generic “An error occurred” message
Improvement: Login page toast notifications are now centered at the top of the screen for better visibility
Improvement: Admin notice suppression now also runs on the BrikPanel settings tab — third-party marketing notices no longer leak onto the settings page
Improvement: WooCommerce’s generic “Your settings have been saved” banner is replaced with a branded BrikPanel confirmation on the settings tab
Improvement: Variable-product stock-status changes now propagate to every variation and the WooCommerce meta lookup table, so flipping a variable product off actually makes it unavailable on the storefront
2.1.0 (2026-04-16)
New: Admin notice suppression — hides third-party plugin notices on BrikPanel pages for a cleaner, distraction-free admin experience (toggleable from settings)
New: Product tags support in the simplified product editor with autocomplete suggestions
New: Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) field support when enabled in WooCommerce settings
Improvement: Enhanced SEO plugin compatibility — Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, and SEOPress metaboxes now load correctly on the BrikPanel product editor
Improvement: Better admin body class handling for modern product edit and classic navigation modes
2.0.7 (2026-04-12)

2.0.4 (2026-04-09)

2.0.1 (2026-04-08)

New: Quick edit sidebar for inline product editing without leaving the list

New: WooCommerce variation price editor modal with attribute filtering
New: Simplified WooCommerce product editor with drag-and-drop image upload, searchable category picker, live SEO preview, and auto-generated variations
New: WooCommerce variation gallery — separate image gallery per variation
New: WooCommerce categories page with drag-and-drop parent/child nesting
New: Best-in-class free WooCommerce coupon manager with slide-over panel and one-click duplicate
