Changelog

1.0.14

  • Added “I switched to PRO version” as the first feedback option.
  • Lite now submits only deactivation feedback events to telemetry endpoint.

1.0.11

  • Clarified shortcode behavior: shortcode attributes override admin defaults per instance.
  • Added shortcode guidance for using different slider/widget variants on different pages.
  • Clarified show_no_comment=”1″ behavior in shortcode documentation.

1.0.10

  • Fixed autoplay interval handling so custom interval values apply reliably in the Google slider.

  • Clarified that daily full fetches can exhaust Apify quota and recommended 1-5 max reviews for daily cron after the initial full import.

  • Merge + dedupe logic now keeps existing stored reviews and appends only new unique reviews.
