Minor bug fixes.
Various bug fixes where LocalStorage is used to store user credentials.
Adds support for displaying profile URLs in the chat using zero-click SSO (optional)
Moves nickname/profile picture options under Advanced Settings
Adds support for populating nickname and profile picture for users who are logged into WordPress if SSO is not active.
Various fixes for script embed code support with SSO and custom domains.
Fixes for PHP 8. Minor frontend UI changes.
Version 4.0.6 of the plugin is here, with a behind-the-scenes change: When generating SSO tokens, we now make a request where the “minnitpage” URL parameter is used, rather than the more generic “p”. This will ensure the chatroom will correctly operate, without conflicting with other potential plugins.
Removes min-width from the chatroom frame, so if the chat is embedded on a very small div, it will remain confined to the parent dimensions.
When the chatroom is floating, its height will now scale properly on very small displays
Prevents the button from taking up more space than necessary after the chatroom is dismissed
Adds SSO to any Minnit Chat embedded via HTML, even if the chat was added outside of the plugin setup process
Better wording for the plugin’s “Who Can View the Site-Wide Chat Icon?” setting
Version 4.0 of our plugin has arrived! Learn all about it on our blog: https://blog.minnit.chat/version-4-0-of-our-wordpress-plugin-has-arrived/
Ensures Custom Domains work properly during the setup process.
If the default WordPress navigational bar is disabled, the chat previously had issues grabbing the latest photo. This has now been resolved.
Chats are centered when placed within posts.
Better method for grabbing profile photos for logged-in users
SSO Tokens (if enabled) will last longer before expiring
NEW: You can now configure the size of the chat when using the Gutenberg Editor’s Minnit Chat block.
If an owner directly enters an iframe embed code for Minnit Chat on a page or post, the plugin will now automatically correct this and display the chatroom with proper SSO functionality.
If an owner accidentally inputs an embed script in the “Chat URL” section, the plugin will now automatically correct this and display the correct chatroom for them.
Minnit Chat will now support a wider range of profile photos, including ones from third-party plugins like BuddyPress. If you want more compatibility with profile photos, feel free to contact @Minnit on Twitter — we’re always happy to make our plugin even better!
Single Sign-In tokens will now last up to 12 hours, rather than up to 1 hour. This will help if users leave the page up for an extended period of time before connecting to the chat.
The plugin will now utilize LocalStorage to store user’s credentials. See our latest blog post for details: https://blog.minnit.chat/improved-embed-experience-for-organizations/

Allows owners who use “Synchronize SSO Settings” to more easily get their Organization URL.

Enhancements to profile photo

= 2.0.1=
Implements a URL parameter for JavaScript/CSS files that corresponds to the plugin version, so outdated cached assets won’t be served. Enjoy!
Overhaul of the PHP code for maximum efficiency.
New: Add Minnit Chat via a Gutenberg block when editing a post or page! This allows you to put the chatroom only on specific pages/posts.
Minnit Chat now works closer with your WordPress setup to deliver a better experience. You can configure your chat to only display to users with a WordPress account, users who’ve subscribed to your blog, or your Contributors/Editors/Admins! The choice is yours.
Also, new users who are logged in automatically get a nickname that matches their WordPress name. This makes it easier for you to identify your visitors, and prevents them from having to type a nickname when they join your chat.
Happy chatting!
