Easy PHP Settings

1.1.4

Released: March 14, 2026

• Release 1.1.4 – remove unbalanced parentheses check for live server compatibility

1.1.4

Released: March 14, 2026

• Fixed: Removed unbalanced-parentheses validation that caused false “Unbalanced parentheses detected in config file” errors on live servers when wp-config.php contains parentheses inside strings or comments.

1.1.3

Released: March 14, 2026

• Fixed: wp-config.php validation now detects required DB_* constants with flexible spacing/quoting, preventing false “DB_NAME not found” errors on some hosts.

1.1.2

Released: March 8, 2026

• Fixed: Debugging Constants switches not applying changes to wp-config.php due to outdated settings registration; now correctly updates WP_DEBUG, WP_DEBUG_LOG, WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY, and SCRIPT_DEBUG.
• Changed: Removed hard 1G upper limit from size validators so larger values like 2G+ are accepted, relying on PHP/server limits and relationship checks instead.

Released: March 8, 2026

• Added: Plugin usage tracker integration — optional anonymous install/activation reporting to improve plugin services (site URL, WordPress version, plugin version; no personally identifiable data in clear text)
• Added: Admin notice explaining data collection with link to privacy details
• Improved: Tracker integration runs on activation and sends version/site info for service updates

• Refactored: Each module owns its own settings registration, rendering, and action handling

• Improved: Tools tab now consolidates debugging settings, log viewer, export/import, and reset in one place
