FICTBASE

2.2.5

• New: Premium chapter gate — mark any chapter as Premium; non-logged-in readers see a 200-word teaser with fade-out and a login prompt instead of the full content

2.2.4

• Fix: remove license key input and external API call from free plugin; Pro page now links to fictbase.com with manual install instructions (WP.org Guideline 6)
• Fix: remove assets/ folder (banners, icons, screenshots) from plugin zip — these are uploaded to SVN assets/ separately after approval

2.2.3

• Fix: move all inline <style> and <script> blocks to wp_enqueue_style / wp_add_inline_style / wp_add_inline_script per WP.org guidelines
• Fix: change story/chapter management capability from manage_options to edit_posts; authors may only edit their own stories
• Fix: remove Plugin_Upgrader auto-install and activate_plugin from free plugin to comply with WP.org guideline 8
• Fix: remove custom CSS setting from free plugin (use WP Customizer for site-wide CSS)
• Fix: REST track_view endpoint now rejects unpublished chapters
• Fix: admin menu position moved to 58 (below all core WP items)

2.2.2

• Improvement: update plugin description and tags for clarity

2.2.1

• Fix: add missing translators comments to all plural/placeholder i18n strings

2.2.0

• Security: HMAC-sign license data stored in the database to detect direct tampering

• Fix: Pro gate enforced on all bookmark REST endpoints
• Fix: IDOR validation added to bookmark save endpoint (chapter must belong to the requested story)
• Fix: story delete now uses $wpdb->prepare() with placeholders for chapter_views cleanup
• Fix: wrap fb_stories_filter_url() in function_exists to prevent fatal on pages with multiple shortcodes
